FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Specialist Kenny Zweitbester, an infantryman assigned to 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), has not skipped leg day since he arrived at the unit nearly two years ago.
“As a steely-eyed, barrel-chested Rakkasan, it’s important you never skip leg day,” Zweitbester said, as he tucked a pinch of cotton candy flavored Skoal in his lip. “I bet those sissies in the 82nd probably skip leg day all the time.”
Zweitbester, a 22-year-old from the Florida panhandle, was the leg-wrestling state champion in high school and joined the Army after the hosiery factory he worked at closed. When asked why he did not opt for an airborne contract, Zweitbester told the Duffel Blog he was suffering from an acute leg injury at the time.
