Service members and civilians participated in the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center’s fifth annual Mountain Warfare Training Challenge on May 16, 2009. Over 250 competitors and their children enjoyed an array of activities.

At the center of the fun was the 10-kilometer MWTC Challenge race. Obstacles, including two tunnel crawls, a low crawl, a hay bale climb, the five foot wall and the tire obstacle, give the race its “Challenge” title. One of the most difficult portions, Heart Attack Hill, encompasses the beginning of the race. This year marked the first time that a Marine won the Challenge.

Sgt. Joshua Beal was crowned victor and completed the course in 49 minutes, 52 seconds, smashing the old record and setting the bar high for next year.

Article & photos by David Warden, Marketing

Marine Corps Family Team Building (MCFTB) recently drew more than 30 spouses, local teachers and others in its second Jane Wayne Day (JWD) at MCMWTC. MCFTB in association with Company Headquarters planned JWD, a valuable venue that provides spouses and other family members a firsthand experience of what life is like for Marines stationed at MCMWTC. Participants learned to rock climb, shoot M-16s, snowshoe and properly don a flack jacket in preparation to transit via BV-206s (track vehicles). Gunnery Sgt. Gray coordinated MCMWTC’s role and was surprised that approximately 50 percent of participants had not previously experienced a JWD. Read More.....
