The Army is in the third and final trial of a new Army program called "Warrior Adventure Quest. It sends soldiers just back from war on outings of paintball, mountain biking, scuba diving, sky diving, whitewater rafting, alpine skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing." It is intended to provide some of the excitement and the thrill of war zones in a safe surviveable environment so that soldiers can ease back into civilian life on their return. [Island Packet]
