Anyone else look at the US XC Championships entries? I noticed Cory Duquette former NAIA standout is listed under US Navy just curious as to what his paygrade is being enlisted or officer? Also anyone know what type of training he is doing currently...

No one CARES
I am taking a rough guess here but I believe in order to run for the military team's you are required to be an officer so my guess would be an Ensign or Lieutenant Junior Grade. As to Duquette running in the championship I know him and would bet he is running more along the lines of for fun as I would not expect him to be in his top fitness. I believe he just finished BUDS so easily put he is probably going to be more towards the middle or back of the field. So lets talk about guys that are actually going to place.
He's smart to join a PC service. The N/AF/CG are low risk. He can run for GOP office and avoid being called a Chickenhawk like 99% of the Republicans. Most veteran are Democrats.
Underwater demolition ? What's that for. Does Bush want to sink ships full of Toyota Prius's to drive up the price of gas ? Wouldn't it be more useful if the Navy sent this guy to the Rio Grande River to protect the US/Mexico border from Al Quada attacks. After all W. Bush protected the U.S./Mexican border from Viet Cong attacks, and we NEVER HAD ONE VIET CONG ATTACK FROM ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE thanks to W. Bush, what a dude !

Wow, so all this time when I was on miltary teams I was getting over. I have no idea that they thought I was an officer, or that the late Mike Mann was an officer, or Teddy, or Nate.
In all seriousness, one does not have to be an officer.
GaryB thanks for answering that.....
kinda wondering where in the heck the "rough guess" came from
You can be enlisted & run on the teams. All the matters is 1 - you're good enough, 2 - you're allowed by your supervision to do it & 3 - you submit the application & get accepted. I've ran with multiple enlisted guys who were Air Force team members.
Navy in particular, and some other branches, have been sending teams to US X-C champs for years. Most of the navy guys are based out of San Diego - Billy Herrmann formerly of NAU is a perfect example of this.
Didn't the U.S. Army have an elite team in Boulder, CO coached by Arturo Barrios - Ryan Fitzpatrick comes to mind.
