Second Lieutenant Sarah Casey, from Tennessee, proved she is worth more than her 125 pounds of weight by moving 3-thousand pounds (1360 kilos) in only nine minutes!

To fire-up a 155mm gun you have to be able to load and unload 15 rounds of ammo, weighing an average of 1-hundred pounds (45 kilos) each, within 15 minutes.
