Cannon Ball!

It’s hard to imagine how this soldier from the 25th (Tropical Lightning) Infantry Division managed to extract himself from this crowded rigid inflatable boat, encumbered by life preserver, boots and other gear, launch himself into the air — and hug his crossed legs before hitting the water! Be all that you can be, we guess.

The 25th ID’s Artillery unit (DIVARTY) held a 3-day series of rigorous, competitive tactical events for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers from April 6 to April 8, 2021. The competition was designed to build cohesive teams by elevating these key leaders’ physical and mental toughness, camaraderie and commitment to the organization and Army values, according to the information that came with this photo.
