@MegaOscarPwn It is springtime in Georgia (wet and chilly to my knowledge) and Oscar thinks of the heat.

@shylarah Or the siblings could just ask David, if he has been in combat, as he doesn't wear any combat pins day-to-day.
Edit: For example, when I was serving in the Finnish Defence Forces a few years ago, I took part in a garrison-wide orienteering race. While I didn't have much hope of winning any prizes, I liked the experience and tried my best, as there was the competitive element in the race. A five kilometre track took me about fifty minutes to complete, but it was fun.

@shylarah David became a member of the Army in January 1940. He finished basic training a few months later with excellent marks, and was recommemded for promotion and enrolled to the officer school, finishing as second lieutenant. Later that year, he was taken in by the SRPD, and put through trials and experiments. That lasted about two months. The time is early December, when the program is finished.
To my eyes, that leaves about eleven to twelve months to see some combat before the Task Force, as it was formed in December 1941. It has been about two months since the training started.
And I gave the prize to encourage the unit to strive them harder. Twenty-five minutes can be an impossibility for them, but that doesn't rule them out to try harder. Sometimes, soldiers can be encouraged by incentives to perform. Medals, day offs, recommendations and other rewards can be effective to boost performance.

A question: who made the soundtrack for Saving Private Ryan?
@shylarah He might or might not. Captain Stevens pre-Task Force service record concerning possible SAS commission and action in North Africa as a member of a long range desert group is classified information. He might have been in British service as a "guesting instructor for [BLANKED OUT]" and taken part in [BLANKED OUT] raids.

"I had close quarters combat and a lesson on explosives in mind, but the guest we're getting might change that. He had some interesting things to say." David said to Private Guijarro. "And you still haven't broken my record run of twenty-five minutes, Guijarro."
For a average recruit, running up the Currahee and back to the barracks would take about fifty or sixty minutes, but as the Division had awaken David's powers, he wasn't your average runner. In essence, he was stronger and faster than an Olympic decathlete, but he still had his limits.
"Anyhow", David said to all. He had a hook in mind. "We can stand stand here until Hitler kicks the bucket, but that doesn't change the fact that you have a mountain to climb. And if somebody can break the record time, the soldier will be rewarded with a surprise."

David turned to the Spaniard, taking a look at him and returned to his salute. David could see some serious potential in Oscar, but the man had clear problems in his fighting spirit. David took a softer tone than usually, but kept his eyes directed at Oscar's own. "Private Guijarro, even if we have all kinds of powers, sweating now can save blood and lives later. And we'll get to use our powers, don't be concerned about it. Take the running as a character building exercise."
David turned away from the young man, he said to the rest of the unit. "Private Guijarro here has just aired his concern; will our training pay out. What is the point of running to the top of the mountain, if we have superpowers to blast at the Axis Powers? We've used hours on the shooting range, on the class rooms, and ran up the Currahee quite a few times, and what is the point? My short will be yes, it will pay off. Everything you do on the battlefield has to come from the flesh memory, and that will keep us alive."

@Bright_Ops Of course there were Brits, French, Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians, the Czechs, Soviets, Italians, Indians, Dutch, Belgians, Spaniards, Germans, Japanese, Finns, Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, et cetera, fighting in the war.
Some period music for the troops. And yes, Captain Stevens might bear similarities to the first Avenger.
A new Call of Duty trailer was also published recently. While I haven't played much Call of Duty games, this one has caught my curiosity.

@ONL, @MegaOscarPwn, we almost got the Nordic countries represented here, as I am Finnish. All we need a Dane and an Icelander.
