The Commanding Officer of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Patuxent River, Capt. Ken Radford, shakes hands with Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Ria Tumladhamar while presenting a Memorial Day coin to the winning crew of the modified 'Murph' challenge at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River Drill Hall Field.
The command modified the grueling workout into a team event to foster camaraderie, breaking Sailors into groups to partition the repetitions. The winning team members recognized by Radford are, from left to right, Tumladhamar, Lieutenant Cole Engstrom, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Maria Cabrera, and Lieutenant j.g. Kashad Haston.
The monthly command physical training event was held to honor the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and pay tribute to Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005 and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
