These were marine recruits I had the honor of being with, hiking at the Indiana Dunes State Park as a little training before taking off to boot camp in San Diego. After getting on top of the Devil’s Slide, the marine sergeants made them do PUSH UPS and jumping jacks all so that we can have FREEDOM.

Never shown GIF I made in July, 2020. I NEVER LOOKED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE NIKON D7000. I JUST HELD IT NOT KNOWING WHAT I WOULD GET SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE DISTRACTION WITH THE CAMERA. They don't mind photos. Mennonites will often have a camera. Amish will not use electricity nor be vain.
