HINESVILLE, GA (WTOC) -
A celebration at
Fort Stewart awarded a select number of the 3rd ID as experts in
their field.
More than 700
soldiers tried to achieve the honor but
only 112 actually made it. The rigorous five day competition tests physical
strength, endurance and combat firing accuracy. Friends and family were on hand
to join in the celebration.
"It's an Expert Infantryman Badge. It means that I am an expert at my job. That is why it means
a lot to me," said Spc. Jimmy Lopez.
"I think it just
shows our soldiers. All the officers in my company made it through EIB, which
is fairly rare. So, I think it just shows that we lead from the front and we
are ready to go out and train when they are," said Cpt. Daniel Evans.
Eight of the
winners received perfect scores earning them the title of True Blue. This is
the first time the EIB Competition has been held at Fort Stewart in more than
two years.
