German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge - Sprin 2018
Congratulations to the 10 Soldiers from the 644th Regional Support Group, who completed the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge, throughout the week of March 19-23, 2018:
Lt. Col. Kirk Soland, Capt. Seth Johnson, Sgt. First Class Robert Mclaughlin, Capt. Gibson Banton, Chaplain (Capt.) Bradley Wysomierski, Spec. Brandon Schroepfer, Maj. Cameron Winter, Maj. Charles Anthony Donley, Staff Sgt. Adam Nosbush, Spec. Alec Scofield
All Soldiers were required to earn at least a Bronze standing in each event in order to receive a badge and certificate at the end of the competition. The events included a valid First Aid certification within three years, a fitness test, pistol qualification, and a road march.
The fitness test began on Monday, with a 100 meter swim. Many of the participants expressed that this was the most difficult event and Tuesday was blocked off for another try at the swim. Wednesday included three track events, which consisted of a 110 meter shuttle run, a hanging pull-up (total time), and a 1000 meter run. Onto a 9mm pistol qualification on Thursday, where participants needed to each target at least once for bronze and five hits for gold. The final event was the roadmarch, seven miles, carrying a minimum of 33 pounds.
The week concluded with an award ceremony. In all, every Soldier in the 644th RSG earned at least a Silver medal and will be authorized to wear the German Armed Forces badge on their ASU.
