Story behind the Photo

There's always a great story behind an Amazing Photo.

25yr. old Adam from Oakland, Alabama took this photo:

Here is his story:

It was taken at rookie school during our consumption drills using SCBA (air packs) -- We were supposed to try our best to conserve air while we went through this obstacle course to teach us how to make our air bottles last as long as we could make them last.

The obstacle course included climbing a 14 foot ladder, climbing through a window, pulling that bucket full of sand up to the 2nd floor of the building and lowering it to the ground 2 times, go down the stairs and out another window, then crawl about 15 feet through a large pipe, hit a log with a sledge hammer 25 times, carry a rolled section of fire hose through cones, then unroll and roll back up a 50' section of fire hose. We just kept making "laps" through the course until our air bottle was empty.

That picture was one of the guys pulling the bucket of sand up to the 2nd floor of the training building.
