As part of his Ruck (not run) effort at Naval Hospital Bremerton's recently held Corpsmen Remembrance Run, Hospital Corpsman 1st Class (Fleet Marine Force) Kyle Smith, Preventive Medicine Technician leading petty officer, did approximately 10K (6.2 miles) that morning in one hour and 45 minutes, stopping every mile to do 22 pushups, squats or military press with a ruck sack weighing over 30 pounds on his back. He attests that the 22 reps were symbolic to also remember the 22 veterans on average a day who lose their battle with depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and take their own lives (note: figure attributed to Department of Veterans Affairs in their February 2013 report on veteran suicide rates in the United States).
