FRIDAY FOTO Extra (Jan. 27, 2017)

Muscle Power, Part II.

(U.S. Army photo by Staff Sergeant Ken Scar)

We thought this photo of an Army Reserve sergeant doing pushups was remarkable for two reasons. First, it captures the moment when the soldier has launched himself off the ground to clap his hands between repetitions.

Secondly, the sergeant’s name captured our attention. Meet Sergeant Wenceslaus Wallace, a team leader assigned to Company C of the 324th Expeditionary Signal Battalion.

This photo was taken January 21, 2017 at the headquarters building of 335th Signal Command (Theater) in East Point, Georgia.

Muscle Power.

Sometimes, even in the 21st Century, you just gotta get out and push. These Marines, with  Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, are pushing and pulling a floodlight through the mud during exercise Kamoshika Wrath 17-1 at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s Haramura Maneuver Area in Hiroshima, Japan.  The bi-annual training exercise is primarily focused on establishing a forward operating base and providing airfield operation services.

The photo was taken January 22, 2017.
