Staff Sgt. Brian Bower, a combat engineer with Arizona Army National Guard's 819th Sapper Company, tows his rucksack across the pool during the water survival event in the 2012 Region VII Best Warrior Competition at Camp San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 24. Bower traveled the length of the pool with a 30-pound, double-wrapped waterproof rucksack and weapon aid. Other tasks in the event included treading water for five minutes and retrieving, in sequence, color-coded canteens from the opposite side of the pool. Two rules competitors had to follow at all times were maintaining their earlobes above water level and not using the walls of the pool to propel themselves. The water survival event was designed to be a mystery to the competitors prior to its start in order to further challenge them. (Army National Guard photo/Spc. Grant Larson)
