"When you get knocked down, you get right back up.
It doesn’t matter if it’s sports or combat or life.
You get right back up."
– Major Joe Warner, Green Beret
Bragg Heavy has been described as the King of All Rucks. The miles, the weight, the freezing cold water, the wind and the rain–and it all goes down on the same hallowed grounds where Special Forces candidates train during the Special Forces Qualification Course.
While in Fayetteville, make sure to visit the Airborne and Special Operations Museum with your fellow GRT’s to learn about the storied history of the people who have trained on the same grounds as the Joe Warner Memorial Bragg Heavy. Then come and pay your respects by earning the coveted Bragg Heavy patch. This is the unofficial cold weather GRT Family Reunion. In Special Forces fashion, also expect a huge Ruckoff afterwards.
One of the OG (Original Gangsta) Cadre, Dan has been instrumental in the development of various GORUCK events -- and he's always sure to sum up his thoughts in killer power-point presentations of no fewer than 40 slides. He's fond of smoking cigarettes and drinking beer at any elevation.
Bill is dedicated to a redheaded woman, garage gyms, and black coffee. He one day aspires to spend his life hunting birds in the winter and saltwater fishing in the summer, all while leading GORUCK events in between.
Cleve believes that it's the simple things in life that are the key to happiness. Like a little pain, misery, and suffering to help bring out the best in us. Out of the Marines, and living in New Jersey. Cleve enjoys spending time with his family, rucking around, falling from the heavens, splashing around in the water, and of course drinking the nectar of the gods, BEER.
Chuy is a city slicker from Brooklyn, New York – raised by non-English speaking, deep-country islanders. He enjoys flying his personally trained hunting eagle to provide for his beautiful bride, 3 untamed children, and 2 wild dogs (Moose & Spider). He looks forward to someday retiring from the US Army to become a professional B-boy.
