Rick successfully completed the Leistungsabzeichen. It is a German physical fitness award and you could complete it for a gold, silver, or bronze medal. He was pinned with the gold medal this morning by the German Colonel.
It only took a 100M sprint in less than 12 seconds, throw a shot put 11M, high jump 4'6", swim 200M in less than 6 minutes, run 5K in under 22 minutes, Shoot target in the chest 5/5 with a 9mm pistol from 25M, get a 100% on a first aid test, and ruck march 18.1 miles in under 5 hours (he did it in 4 hours and 31 minutes on his birthday).
He was one of 14 people in his class of 44 to achieve the award.
I'm proud of him :)
