The competition will be Nov. 18 through 20. This year’s competition is among the 10 best ROTC teams from 22 states making up the Fourth Region. “This is the regional championship for the ROTC units west of the Mississippi,” Maj. Jim Davis, adviser for the Ranger Challenge Team, said. “It’s the best of the best. For us it is the highest they can go. “I think they’re going to do well,” Davis said. “They’ll at least be in the top three. I think they have a good chance to win.” Steve Zynda, Ranger Challenge Comman der, said that he is confident the A&M cadets will perform well this weekend. “I think we’ll be able to go up there and take first place,” he said. Michael Christensen, a sophomore parks and recreation major, agreed. “I’m pretty confident that we’re going to get there and take first,” Christensen said. Andy Lambert, a sophomore business ma jor, said that he is focused for the competition. “There is not much you can think about,” he said. “You have to fine tune what you have.” One of the eight events that make up the competition is the physical fitness test. It con sists of push ups, sit ups, and a two-mile run. “Most everyone on the team excels in that event,” Zynda, a senior parks and recreation major, said. “They do the maximum.” The cadets will also compete in a marks manship event where they shoot M-16s at pop-up targets. There is also a weapons assembly event. The Rangers must assem ble an M-16 and an M-60 machine gun. Other events include the rope bridge Steve Zynda, a senior recreation and parks major (standing), along with Raymond Vasquez, a junior industrial distribution Kevin Jackson/Special to major, and Chris Brook, a sophomoret: ogy major, compete for the shortest tin a recent Ranger Challenge competition event, the orienteering event and the grenade assault event. The all-night patrol event consists of a two-mile trek through the woods, while the cadets have to try to raid an enemy camp and destroy it. Immediately following the patrol event is a timed 6.2 mile run where the cadets are in full uniform. “Basically all the teams are racing each other,” Davis said. “However the team members can be no farther apart than 25 meters. They must finish as a team.” Lambert said there will be some chal lenges for the team, however, at Ft. Lewis. “The cold weather will be a challenge,” Lambert said. “And the competition will be a challenge. Basically, knowing you have to do well will be a challenge.” The team is considered one of the most important parts of being a member of Ranger Challenge. “Team work plays a big part in Rai Challenge,” Lambert said. “Nobody coi across the finish line first. We all across as a team. “Ranger Challenge is an elite unit nine people,” Christensen said. “It’s one the tightest units in the Corps.
