Marines firing 9 millimeter pistols for marksmanship scoring. Marines at the Albany Logistics base pushing themselves to the limit in their annual Warrior Competition.
40 Marines, dividing into 10 teams, volunteer to test their basic military skills. Gunnery Sgt. James Cully says "A lot of Marines on the base don't get a chance to really get out and do a lot of field training, that a lot probably joined for. This gives them a chance to go out and test themselves."
Four man teams cover a 12 mile course through the base. They have to follow maps from station to station, finding hidden objects along the way. The idea is to push their physical and mental endurance.
