I got the chance to get to know Rob and his fam fairly well, he is a great guy, phenomenal athlete (no exaggeration here), and a very humble person. Im glad his hard work finally paid off with a big win.
Ill also throw in a plug for his wife's excellent artwork; http://www.maxinebone.com

My information is very dated, but the 2/75 guys that went to Best Ranger had months of special duty to train. How could a guard guy get enough time to train, having to make a living and all? That is just really damned impressive.
