CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait - The 94th Cavalry was barely on the ground at Camp Buehring when the first MWR gym competition was posted on unit bulletin boards. Camp Buehring was packed with units heading north to Iraq, and an open spot anywhere in the gym was hard to find. Adding to that was also the insanity of the Transfer of Authority, or TOA, as the 3-197 and the 1-94 CAV got to work.

None of that mattered for CRAZY Troop’s Supply Sergeant, Staff Sgt. Brandon “Hulk” Crotteau, as he took on the challenge of the Camp Buehring MWR Squat competition. Crotteau stepped up to the rack and kept adding weight until no other challengers remained.

Crotteau ended the night as the the competition’s victor, taking home the gold medal awarded by the MWR staff.

“It was a good night, I felt strong. I could have put up more weight.” Crotteau said. “That was the most weight I have put up since a recent leg injury, so it was good to go heavy. I’ll be putting up more next time.” Crotteau added.
