Pushing a Humvee through a 100' of mud, PMCS the vehicle, then push it back to where we started and that was one of the easy stations.

Sir I think that one is standard issue along with land nav at night with NVG and hitting you with lights as you approach way points. My left eye is still closed 20 years latter.

i've been in Ft. Hood for 2 years now and there has been 1 Spur Ride. I was not able to participate because I was tasked with details that did not allow me to prepare like I want to. Sad part is, that was the last Spur Ride to happen to my knowledge in the entire division and that was April/May of last year.
