"It was a huge accomplishment and such an incredible feeling running across the finish line on Saturday...all the hard work and training definitely paid off," said Lt. Col. Jason Turner, 2ROPS commander. "This experience was special because we accomplished it as a squadron and throughout our training it brought us closer together. I will look back on this experience and draw upon the lesson that a goal is attained through planning and hard work." Photo left to right: 1st Lt.
