The Eagles dominated the competition in the most recent Fitness Challenge, earning first place!  The challenge consisted of a three mile, 35 pound ruck, a strength relay, and a two mile, 35 pound ruck plus litter carry.  Kudos to the Eagles that received "Second to None" place in the Fitness Challenge.  The team consisted of members from the 322nd Training Squadron that included Capt. Roach, Master Sgt. Romero, Tech. Sgt. Baugh, Tech. Sgt Martinez, and Tech. Sgt. Legault.  In the community, the Eagles flawlessly performed Colors detail at a local Spurs game! 

The 322nd TRS recently completed the 37th Training Wing BIVOUAC Exercise!  Fun fact about the 322nd TRS, which was originally designated as the 3702nd Basic Military Training Squadron (BMTS), was one of the first squadrons to first participate in any BIVOUC exercise within Basic Military Training (BMT).  In 1985, 3702nd BMTS conducted a bivouac over a three-day, holiday weekend with volunteering military training instructors and basic trainees.  Inspired by Project Warrior, the squadron’s purpose was to expose trainees to field/combat conditions.  Participant enthusiasm led to a second, three day weekend bivouac in November.  The 3702d BMTS held another bivouac in Oct. 1986 eventually Basic Military Training School adopted it as an annual event volunteer program in 1987.  Now trainees train in these field conditions at Basic Expeditionary Airman Skills Training (BEAST) in the 7th week of training (WOT).
