Spacing out along the outdoor rig at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River Drill Hall Field, personnel assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Patuxent River tackle the pull-up portion of the command’s monthly physical training event.
The command took on the 'Murph' challenge—consisting of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and a final 1-mile run—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.
To foster unit cohesion and ensure maximum participation, the grueling physical evolution was scaled into a team-based event, allowing Sailors to partition the heavy volume of repetitions collectively as a unit while building camaraderie and mutual support.
