Package of the California Army National Guard Best Warrior. Whoever still uses the term "weekend warriors" to refer to National Guard service members has been living under a rock for the past 10 years. Sure citizen Soldiers or Airmen are still required to conduct roughly 16 hours of training a month and attend a two-week annual exercise but the majority of the men and women in uniform go above and beyond. Then there is the category reserved for the ultra, hardcore types that despite being part-time, eat, sleep, and live the military life. These troops strive to be the best. They spend extra personal time studying and training, balancing their family, civilian work and school preparing for the next challenge. On the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 they would get that chance. California National Guard's Best Warrior Competition 2011 kicked into high gear at Camp San Luis Obispo with nine special Soldiers vying for the title of best of the best. Also available in high definition.
