Sometimes you have to fight for your food. Army Sergeant Matt Krohmer takes us to The Pit.
Suggested Tag:
The squads had to change and ruck to another location where more tasks awaited them.
Reporter:
The famous phrase use to go….What would you do for a Klondike Bar, well at Mangudai it goes what would you do for a choco pie. Late into the second day the Mangudai competitors have only had three hours of sleep and very little food. They just finished a grueling mission and start rucking to their next objective and an undisclosed location. The competitors drop their ruck sacks on the ground and notice the mud pit staring back at them.
SB:
What constitutes you being put out of The Pit is if any part of your body touches the grass.
REPORTER:
All eight squads gather around The Pit as they learn that each that each team will fight for a prize.
SB:
Each winning team of there match will earn there squad seven choco pies.
Reporter:
The rules are put out and the teams move up to the mud pit. The squads slowly sit on the edge of the pit and get ready for the command to fight. Each team attacks applying the strategy of no holds barred. Teams on the outside watch and wait for their chance in The Pit while others who have finished stand tall in victory knowing another task in Mangudai is over. The teams are starving and have little energy but give everything just in the hope of a little bit to eat.
