Surprised (don't know why) they held the event, given the water intoxication hazing incident a year or so ago.
Very sad indeed.

Yep it can happen. We've had a few Soldiers die of it over the years in training that I know of. Not a good thing.

Water is bad for you.
Studies have proved that it can be good for you, in moderation. |
