#Hawaii

Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! I predict this will be one of the top images in 2024. Note the blast from the barrel, which may be a little difficult to see if you’re using a mobile phone to view this. Have you ever tried this in fresh snow or in sand and dust? Wear eye protection if you do, is my advice. You can thank me later.

Our daily article Photo Of The Day will take you to some very exciting and unusual places sometimes. Today we have the C-17 Globemaster III together with U.S. Air Force aircrew from the 535th Airlift Squadron at the Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, in Hawaii. Above you can spot  U.S. Marine from the 3d Littoral Combat Team, 3d Marine Littoral Regiment, 3d Marine Division as he provides security.

A great photo is often produced by being at the right time and place and using the perfect exposure. Today the photographer really managed to capture the moment, with U.S. Marines in training. If TFB’s Photo Of The Day came with sound, you could almost certainly hear the sound of yelling from the battlefield, and shots fired from the H&Ks.

Have you taken your vitamins today? As you know vitamins have several important functions for your body. Some say they are almost as important as a daily dose of TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and we agree of course. So here’s another dose of important pictures, but instead of magnesium, iron, calcium and Omega 3, there’s more lead, brass and gunpowder involved here.

We can see Cpl. Anthony Skon as he closes his eyes and braces himself against the weight of a Marine climbing over him to scale a wall during the endurance course at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa. The U.S. Marines ran in 12-man squads over roughly five miles of Okinawa jungle and through 30 obstacles in JWTC’s culminating event, which helps to build upon what the Marines learned through the previous week of jungle warfare training.

Photo Of The Day – FWS-I and ENVG-B – Although these abbreviations make sense they are somewhat difficult to pronounce and hard to remember, don’t you agree? Previously we’ve seen similar technology in our post about the FWS-CS Sight on M2HB Heavy Machine Gun and Mark 19 Grenade Launcher.

In each of our Photo Of The Day articles, we bring you the work of inspiring photographers from around the globe. Today we take a look at soldiers from 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment (Gimlets), 2 IBCT, 25th Infantry Division deployed to Kahuku Training Area Oahu, Hawaii as they conduct company evaluations in movement to contact, attack and defense operations. Armed with an M240L machine gun, the gunner in the picture above provides suppressive fire.

The M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle can be seen above, in our Photo Of The Day from the island of Hawaii, at the Marine Corps Base in August 2020. The M27 is based on the H&K HK416. The U.S. Marine Corps soldier is communicating with his fellow soldiers, as they execute a squad attack during Exercise Bougainville I. The exercise Bougainville I was designed to train and evaluate team leaders in small unit proficiency and increase the Battalion’s overall combat readiness.
