Victory Tower
From journal entry:
Today felt like the first big day of BCT with Victory Tower. First, we had to tie a Swiss seat harness to standard. We climbed up a 50-foot ladder then rappelled down a sheer wall. It's a test of intestinal fortitude, and I did well enough to surprise myself. My bunkmate, Pvt. Kelley, is scared shitless of heights, but he still made it down. The next challenge was the rope bridges. First was the 3-rope bridge, which was easy by all accounts. The 1-rope head first commando crawl is harder to balance, and probably 50% actually made that. I wasn't part of the 50%. Last up was the 2-rope, which was fine. The last part of the course was climbing down a cargo net. Too easy.
