FORT BLISS, Texas - Pfc. Seyi Hunsa, a cannon crewmember assigned to 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division and whose hometown is Burgaw, North Carolina, exits a tunnel and races to complete the final portion of the Fort Bliss obstacle course during the 1AD Best Warrior Competition, May 15. The obstacle course included climbing ropes, scaling barriers and events which tested the Soldier’s ability to maintain composure and confidence at height. The competition pitted 10 competitors representing each of 1AD’s brigades against each other through a series of physical and mental tasks, concluding with an interview conducted by the division operations sergeant major, in order to determine the division’s Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer of the year. This year's competition was won by Staff Sgt. James Ferrone, a cavalry scout assigned to Troop B, 2nd Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team and native of Naperville, Illinois, and Spc. Gage Paraschos, a cavalry scout assigned to Troop C, 2-13 CAV whose hometown is Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania, after they displayed their excellence in skills, knowledge and physical fitness.
