Families of 3-38th Cav Soldiers participate in a 'Spur Ride', a cavalry tradition, to earn their silver spurs and join the ranks of the Order of the Spur on Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Lead: Earning your spurs is a tradition as old as the cavalry itself and the spur ride is a rite of passage for U.S. cavalry soldiers. Sgt. Bryan Spradlin shows how one unit is giving family members an opportunity to join the ranks of a historic order. Soundbite includes SFC. Christopher Davis - Team Leader, B. Troop, 3-38th CAV REGT., 201st BFSB and Nina Walton - Family Readiness Group Co. Leader, 3-38th CAV REGT. Produced by SGT. Bryan Spradlin - 5th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment. Also available in High Definition.
Tag: Earning spurs began with early cavalry troopers, who were only awarded spurs after they had proven their skill with their horse and saber.
