Well, like Best Ranger, these other countries select their teams and train for months and months, solely for the comp.

Our guys find out a month out, since they are busy doing their job the rest of the year.

We should probably just have guys in Ops Det train up for it, and curtail their other responsibilities. I hate taking guys away from the fight to do a competition, but in this culture, we at least need to be in the top three every year.
