Nov 2019 - 7th International Military Sports Council Military World Games Wuhan, China
2020-03-31
[US Department of Defense] Top U.S. military athletes are in Wuhan, China, participating in the 2019 Military World Games, which promote peace by uniting service members from nations around the globe through sports.

Same link has nifty COVID-19 update. Evidently asking the obvious question never entered anyone's mind at DoD.

#8  Rope jumper here. Did a static-line square from 5k feet down at Quantico once. Lopo's at the end, knees went bad, pay jumper only. Pretty cool video. You may know the guy who jumped the Horse Sojur flag. Again, be safe and take lots of happy snaps.

#7  Thanks - did my last jump with 82nd. Nightime mass tac drop - full battalion.

Still slugging it out here in Hong Kong. Tough environment to say the least. Just about every week is something - rarely good. Entries, HS, dangles - full court press. Glad I play defense.

#1  Yes, the very same Wuhan, China. I have to wonder if anyone in DoD has done a Health and Welfare update on our US service members who made this trip ?

Would I be going out on a limb to assume DoD will not be participating in future Wuhan, China events ?
