NORWEGIAN FOOT MARCH

More than 350 Soldiers competed in a Norwegian Foot March in the early morning hours of April 30. The march was 18.6 miles and each Soldier had to carry at least 25 lbs on their backs and finish on time to earn the special military badge. Capt. Justin Hayes and Sgt. Allan Nguyen coordinated the event. It was originally meant for a small group of competitors, but grew to have a Soldier representing every unit on post.
