Team building exercises: Bataan Death March...Are you worthy? Team-Building Galore by Pkranger88

Step 6: FINISH!!! Hold your head up.

26.2 miles of desert can definitely wear on you, but you've made it. 11 hours and 45 minutes on the trail.

Don't get me wrong. This doesn't compare 1 iota to the 1942 Bataan Death March, but it takes more out of you than a regular marathon. Not to mention, you did it in boots.

Final Note:
The human spirit is profoundly resilient, and if you entertain that resiliency, the results are phenomenal. The human body, however, will challenge your every step.

Our team grew after we finished. Our respect for each other grew and when we deploy I can guarantee that this experience will strengthen our resolve all the more.

There are few things a team can do to strengthen itself than to be forged by the fire of physical strife.

I was there and did it with you guys this year. I am going to do it again next year as well. Great Advice on how to survive that thing. I would just add make sure you trim your toenails and have a some room in your boots or the downhill portion will tear your toes up. Go Air Force CatNDhat Air Force (ret)
