The Navy Detachment exercised with the Marine Detachment this morning at the Defense Information School, participating in the Marine Corps Combat Skills Test.
The exercise was part of an on-going relationship between the two services, said Chief Currey, the Leading Chief Petty Officer at the Navy Detachment here.
The Combat Skills Test consists of a ¼ mile sprint (under 5 minutes). After the run is an ammo can lift, followed by the CST Lanes Course. The course consists of a 100 yard sprint, j-hook, high crawl, modified high crawl, rescue drag, and 100 yard firemans carry. The second lap consists of carrying two 15 pound ammo cans, throwing a grenade, and carrying the ammo cans back.
The top Navy time was 2 minutes, 20 seconds for lanes.
“It felt like I got sacked by a whole football team,” said one sailor. “[Completing] It really showed Navy determination and pride.”
