The current has brought the team off course in the lake. Once they finish their swim they will get into the pool for navy seal water exercises:
water treading with elbows out of the water
Bobbing to the bottom with hands tied
swimming laps
water burpees
Bear crawls
Finest looking regiment elite
They each earn a point. Administration talk is over and they're getting ready for the 1km lake swim.
Soon they will have to swap sides with someone. Still not making any noise.
They must first set their rucksack equidistant from each other. They must then lay down in the pool holding their emergency cards out and not say a single word for 15 minutes. The card can't get wet.
They're all here
People are gathering...
The temperature and breeze is perfect. There should be no reason for anyone to complain. Except for these buckets. People are going to complain about the buckets.
Dear crazy eight,
You must be in swimming gear at 9am. If you're still fiddling around with goggles and pool noodles at 9am, you're swimming in the lake with your shoes on plus whatever you're wearing at 9am.
If you intend on doing the bonus lap at 8:30am, you must be pool ready by 8:30am.
Looks like it'll be storming tomorrow. That's too bad...
Live updates will still keep coming, though. The cadre has a waterproof phone :)
April 30th, your time is coming soon. For now, we celebrate the struggles of the crazy eight who will be starting their adventures exactly 12 hours from now.
One more day until the registration of the 16th closes. If the registration hits 10, a random perk will be unlocked.
There were 5+ who said they were going to do it, so that shouldn't be a problem :)
Other than that. Get ready....
The April 16th class has unlocked trivia. This only applies to the 16th class, since there will be a different subject for the 30th.
The trivia subject will be a slight repeat of a past T3. The subject will be American history, government and geography.
Speaking of geography... as a hidden bonus, since this perk was unlocked...
There will be no geography test for the April 16th class.
The mandatory gear list email for the 16th has been sent out to the class. It's an extensive list, and the punishment for not following through is severe. Right now there are 8 in the class. Cadre prediction pegs the turnout to be 6 and the finishers to be 5. Let's see if the prediction holds...
Well the 16th class didn't quite hit the point threshold for an early release of the mandatory gear list. They earned 17 points, making their team total 49 (since somebody registered recently). Mandatory gear / final email will be sent to the April 16th class sometime Wednesday night. That gives these poor souls only two days to get their stuff ready. Some of the class has been quiet lately, which probably means they're going to flake out of the event.
That's a shame, because the challenges being thrown at this class are ones that only big groups can complete. April 16th class has until Thursday afternoon to submit their final perk unlocks as well.
April 30th - You guys just keep your eyes peeled on the live updates and enjoy watching the bloodbath.
Since your torture is only a week away, you should be getting ready. To those who'd like to get extra credit, now is your chance.
You still have time to get your affairs in order. The good side to this challenge is that you may help your April 16th friends! The bad news is that there are no points for your class in this challenge. You may complete any of the Muddy Brute challenges as you see fit, however your points that you'd earn goes directly into the April 16th point pot.
The first class is only a couple weeks away! With that, a point loadout is necessary. There might be another challenge next week, and keep your eyes peeled for the mandatory gear list email. Keep in mind that these points are reflected AFTER the perks were unlocked. The points were removed from people and then the rest were averaged out for simplicity.
Remember, you can transfer points at any time. You're smart. You'll devise a plan if needed.
