lol its the point where the DI's turn from all out ass chewing to guidance on a more personal level, a time where leadership and teamwork hit its peak. Problem solving and physical tests. Where if everyone doesnt succede than no one succeds. It was created by Gen. Al Gray. Not sure what time that was exactly.

Easy question: In Iwo Jima, what was the name of the mountain where the American Flag was raised?

[jo1753]

I waited to see if one of the poolees would answer your question b4 I put my 2 cents in............LOL

Iwo Jima listen? (Japanese 硫黄島 Iōjima, meaning "sulfur island") is a volcanic island in Japan, part of the Volcano Islands (also known as the Ogasawara Islands), approximately 650 miles (1046 km) south of Tokyo (24.78°N, 141.32°E). It has an approximate area of 8 square miles (21 km2). The most prominent feature of the island is" MOUNT SURIBACHI ", a volcano which is thought to be dormant or extinct, and which is 546 feet (166m) in height.


The island of Iwo Jima is located 650 miles south of Tokyo.
Landsat photo Iwo Jima, circa 2000The island was uninhabited until the 1800s. Japan colonized it and by 1943, a settlement of almost 1,100 Japanese civilians existed on the island. Most of these were either employed at a sugar mill located in the northeastern portion of the island or a sulphur mine and refinery located in the same general area. The inhabitants of Iwo Jima lived in five settlements scattered over the northern half of the island. The northernmost of these was Kita, located in the north central part of Iwo. The village of Nishi was situated in the northwestern part of the island, while Motoyama, the largest built-up area on Iwo, was located in close proximity to the sulphur mine and refinery. The remaining two villages, Higashi and Minami, were located in the northeastern part of the island.
