We paired up with each other in one-on-one wrestling matches. In this picture, I'm wrestling with SPC Mercado from another section. This is more training I hope to never have to use for real.

If you're curious, the answer is: yes. I did end up winning the match with SPC Mercado. I got behind him and put him in a "rear naked choke hold" and he submitted.

dude, the "rear naked choke hold" sounds like something from Clintons New Army, and that it should be done alone and with some privacy..
