On April 30th, we had 15 cadets from the Fighting Eagles Battalion compete in the Norwegian Foot March proctored by a member of the Norwegian military. This event was first held in 1915 as a test of marching endurance of soldiers in the Norwegian military. Those who completed the night-time march of 18.6 miles distance within 4 hours, 30 minutes carrying a 25 lbs rucksack earned the “Marsjmerket,” or the Norwegian Armed Forces Marching Badge.
We’re proud of all our cadets for taking on this challenge and continuing to strive to be better, stronger versions of themselves as leaders. #GoEags
Thank you to SSG Vasquez of the Washington Army National Guard for helping us out with the drive out there and joining in to motivate cadets during the foot march!
