Description
Marines compete in several sports activities including the high jump, pole vault, long jump, track races, discus, and javelin. Some try a goal post kick with an American football. A band plays by a pool before spectators take a seat to observe a swimming competition in what appears to be a newly constructed pool. Location unidentified, but some buildings are painted in a camouflage pattern.
