I visited Toccoa recently. At the base of Currahee, right before you begin the hike up, you can get to a little viewpoint where you can overlook what used to be the camp. There is only a very small section of it left and about 90% of it has been given back to nature. I remember standing there and imagining all the men training where there are now newly-planted pine trees and overgrowth. It was an eerie feeling and I could feel the spirit of the men there, even 79 years later. If you ever have the chance to visit, there isn't a lot remaining, but it is an emotional and powerful experience nonetheless.

He thought he was alone but his buddies were with him. That's brotherhood.

3 miles up, 3 miles down, that is a bit more than 9km in 50 minutes. When you factor in the fact that all of it is at an incline, that makes it a pretty tough run. When you have to do it in full kit, it becomes a real bitch though. Certainly doable, but not without a hell of a lot of pain. I think that makes the fact that his buddies are there with him all the more significant. That's what makes them real soldiers.

I took up running five months ago. I only recently reached the point where I could run 3 miles in 24 minutes, about the same pace as 6 miles in 50. And that's on level ground, carrying no heavy gear! I can't imagine doing the same pace 3 miles up, in full combat regalia. I still have a lot of work to do. LOL!

Unless my math is wrong, he has 50 minutes to run 3 miles. Since distance equals rate times time (D=RT), he would have to run a consistent 3.6mph or faster to make it up and back. Not sure how fast that is, but on an incline and in full battle kit? Big ooooooof.

I've hiked up Currahee before. The ascent is inclines, followed by declines for the first 2 miles and the last mile has a very sharp incline. In other words, you get your ass kicked going up and down because there are tough inclines both ways.

1:38 - instant goosebumps.

1:00 For perspective, the saying is “3 miles up, 3 miles down” so in total he has to run 6 miles in gear in 50 minutes. In more more perspective, the modern day Army Rangers require 5 miles in 40 minutes. That’s in PT gear too. so he has about 8 minute miles in full gear just for the airborne back then.

My only problem with his training was that he was singling out people for punishment and making up transgressions. I've always believed that when one person gets punished in a company they all get punished. It reinforces the group mentality and keeps them from breaking the rules because if they get punished its one thing, but they do not want to get all of their friends punished with them.
