Yesterday, the regiment brought in ten new elite members. Those ten were put through a test that broke them down to the point where the only way they could go is up. I saw in each of you a transformation that would inspire the most apathetic people around. To many of you, this was the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. Know that struggle when you look at the red R you have so rightfully earned. Know that no matter the adversity you're facing, you will conquer it through mastery of strength, endurance, camaraderie and intellect. Rest well, fellow elite. You have earned every ounce of mercy. I've got the feeling we're going to see a lot more folks at OCR events with a red R on their forehead/neck.

A much more comprehensive review and video will be posted later, but for now please check out the photos section on this site or on our facebook page.
