The festivities in the DW challenge were:

Humvee Push
Water Balloon Fight
Tug of War

Final Team Challenge:
Dizzy Bat
Sand Bag Fill
Duffel Bag Hop
Patch Placement in the Cold Pool
Target Shooting with Water Gun
and… The Hot Dog Eating Contest

Second Platoon placed a close second to The 1st Platoon ‘Rattlers’, good job Rattlers, you did a great job pulling ahead at the end with eating those wieners! The night was fun along with a few people getting thrown in the small blowup pool. One unlucky individual was SFC Meskimen who retaliated with a coordinated silly string ambush on 1st Platoon.

The food was provided by our beloved *wonderful* chow hall shoe leather hamburgers along with hot dogs and what some call steak, …yeah whatever helps you eat it. Below are some highlights of the night:
