SSG Carlos Madden Sounds like something I would really enjoy doing and with fellow Veterans would be a definite plus. I love hiking the Great Smoky Mountains National Park but the highest peak is 6,643 feet. Maybe one day I'll go to the Rocky's and hike a mountain as high as Mt. Kilimanjaro. Great share Brother Carlos!

Kilimanjaro is 19,300 or so. I didn't think it would be as hard to breathe up there as it was. I was doing great until about 17k'.

Our ship pull in to Yokosuka, and our command had a PFT to run. We ask our CO if we could climb Mt. Fuji in place of the PFT. He turn us down.

SSG Carlos Madden I'll bet. It looks easy enough from a distance. But 19,341 feet is a buttkicker. Congratulations on making it up and back down. I'm very jealous.

It was so great to make this incredible journey with you and the rest of the team. One of the proudest moments of my life and glad I got to share it with you and could not agree more about the mental and therapeutic benefits of reconnecting with other vets with a shared mission!

Thank you so much for having me. I was cruising until that summit morning and honestly one of the only things that kept me going was “If I can just grind through this step, and then the next, then I may catch up with the rest of the team. And if I can catch the rest of the team, I can make it to the top.” That was literally the only thing going through my head for those few hours I was with Nico. Once I caught up I knew I was going to make it. What a grind though!
