Well, if you had stayed with 2 CR through the unit it is today (4/2 SBCT), guess where you would have been two months ago? He, he, he. Mangadi in Alaska for a couple of days.
The way I look it is this. If you want someone to walk until he hallucinates due to fatigue and lack of food or rest, put him through an ARTEP of thirty years ago or send him to Ranger School of thirty years ago. Neither proved a damn thing about a man or leader. The conventional ARTEPS of that era ended in a Nuke simulator -- thus showing the end of the world. The SF ARTEPs of that era normally ended with the Team having to walk another ten or twenty miles for exfil when the Air Guard refused to launch the exfil mission.
Is it a good thing? I like Grange immenselfy so won't criticize his intent. I also know how the rest of the Army will view his intent -- then bastardize it until they kill ten or fifteen guys because they didn't know the difference between a smoking and a leadership exercise.
It will happen now that it appears to be another bullet on an OER.
