Dustin and Nate decided to take on a brutal challenge. They each pushed and pulled a sled that weighed their body weight 10 kilometers, that's about 6.2 miles. After some quick math, 1 lap equals a 15yd push followed by a 15yd pull, they needed to complete 365 laps to reach that distance. Their final time was 9 hours, 22 minutes, and 20 seconds.

In Today's episode Byron recounts The Battle of Shewan: August 8, 2008 Thirty Marines bravely fought back waves of Taliban fighters for over eight hours of vicious close-quarters combat, suffering hour after hour of withering enemy fire and countless volleys of RPG, mortar, and rocket fire. One by one, their crew served weapons ran dry as the battle raged on until the last remaining magazines were re-distributed, and the thirty men conducted a devastating counterattack against the numerically superior and entrenched Taliban force that collapsed their left flank and sparked a panic amongst the enemy. These Reconnaissance Marines fought past the point of exhaustion to continue their relentless assault until the Taliban were driven from the battlefield, leaving the city littered with spent casings, scarred buildings, and the broken bodies of the enemy. No Americans were killed during the fighting. Byron Owen started his Marine Corps career in the infantry, before transitioning to the intelligence field, then later cyber. He commanded multiple units during this time, including 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, Cyberspace Warfare Task Group 2, and 3d Radio Battalion. Byron is also the founder and editor in chief of Key Terrain Cyber, a professional journal dedicated to the study of information warfare. He is a Silver Star, Bronze Star, and triple Purple Heart recipient. #marines #veteran #mentaltoughtness Byron's Socials and Sites: Website: https://keyterraincyber.com/ X: https://twitter.com/keyterraincyber IG: https://www.instagram.com/keyterraincyber/ Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/broadsword_6 ---- What is MTNTOUGH?

#whatsyourmtn Mountains are everywhere both literally and figuratively. The process of training to climb a mountain teaches us more than the climb itself. Through physical hardship we learn to endure the actual hardship that life throws at us. Climbing a mountain is easy compared to the loss of a loved one, a cancer diagnosis, or a car crash, etc. What is your mountain? Share your #whatsyourmtn story with us and help inspire others to overcome any mountains that might be in their way. We will be picking one story from submissions to come to The Lab for TOUGHFEST 2024 all expenses paid. Share your #whatsyourmtn story with your network and help bring out the best in everyone around you! INSTRUCTIONS: 1. REFLECT What "mountain" have you overcome? What "mountain" are you climbing right now and why? (This could be getting ready for a hunt, race, hard event, improving your health so you can be more active for your kids when you're older, overcoming something in your life.) If you do MTNTOUGH how has it helped you along the way? Or how has physical training helped you overcome your mountain? How would you inspire/encourage other people to tap into their full potential, change their lives for the better, or achieve something great? 2. FILM We want you to take a video of yourself talking about your mountain. Feel free to add in videos of you working out, or the overcoming of "your mountain". This is a real story coming from you because you know what it takes to tackle the mountain and overcome hardship in life. Try and shoot your content after a killer workout. You are not limited on the number of #whatsyourmtn stories that you want to share. Make sure to start the video with 'This is my mountain and end with asking those watching "what's your mountain"? 3.
