Green Beret did really well considering his inexperience with the course and large size disadvantage on the strength-based events. I think with a little practice he would challenge him

Saw this all the time on various deployments I was on back in the 90's Navy vs Marines out of all events we would compete against each other. Six or seven Marines would win the events then on final event one Navy guy would step up and knock everyone out and win the final event. It happen on almost ever single final event of competition. Navy would take home the trophy.
