Pfc. Nathaniel LaPrade:
There's a lot of weight in our hikes. And, sometimes, they're moving at a faster pace. I don't want to go back and say, oh, it's because I have little legs, but it is a tad harder to keep up. But you just keep your head up, keep your legs moving one foot in front of the other.
And, honestly, I always felt that I had to do better than everyone else. Everywhere I went, it was, where's the short one? We'd be running obstacle courses or on the range. It would be, look at what the little one's doing.
Usually, it was a good thing, because I was really efficient with the obstacle course.
