It's a shame that more teams don't get an opportunity like this...definitely gives the battle on the field a new perspective.

Gonna take a while to load, then I'll comment. It is funny how mundane and regular training that we do seems so cool to civilians. Granted, a good amount of training that I've done has been pretty exciting.

Edit - Meh, I cracked up when they said "and he carried them on their back". Thats regular PT.

He was commenting that the 5'-5", 160# soldier threw him over his back and carried him for half a mile. The player is 6'-6", 265#. That's a pretty impressive feat.

A couple of NHL teams went to West Point too.
