Did you have fun at work today? Before you start complaining check out the working conditions for these soldiers in our Photo Of The Day. These Royal Marines, assigned to 47 Commando Raiding Group, and the Norwegian Army soldiers, assigned to Combat Engineer Battalion/Brigade North, have surely seen better conditions on the sea.

In the top image, you can see an FN Minimi. Desert tan seems to blend in in the snow as well.

Here you can (hardly) see them as they conduct amphibious operations together on the stormy fjords of Northern Norway.

What a wonderful day at the sea…

Below:Probably a Heckler & Koch HK416, but who knows?

The weather is doing its best to kill you, but still, it’s warmer than in the water.

The machine gun is protected from the ice, salt water and snow.

All photos by the great photographer Ole-Sverre Haugli. Norwegian Defense. I’m surprised he managed to keep his lens clean.
