The one and only Photo Of The Day is back and above you’re looking at a U.S.Marine with the 1st Battalion, 25th Marines, 4th Marine Division. He participated in the Mission Readiness Exercise (MRX) in the summer of 2019, in Port Royal, VA, United States. His rifle is fully loaded with about everything except a magazine.

It’s a fine day for a long walk in full gear! Nobody seems to be freezing.

At night you need night vision. During the day sunglasses are better.

If you would like to revisit previous POTDs just use TFB’s internal search engine, it’s a great tool to find more images of what you’re looking for.
