Navy Lt. Peter S. Sunden, a registered nurse with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, Regimental Combat Team 2, throws a volleyball during a unit physical training session, May 1. Sunden, a 27-year-old native of Park Ridge, N.J., is a part of the Shock Trauma Platoon. Dodgeball may be fun, but in Afghanistan the heat makes it a sweaty task. Sunden said they work hard all week, so they enjoy playing a sport for PT. The Marines and sailors played five-on five dodgeball with any kind of ball they could find. The group played more than ten games, and Sunden's team defeated their opponents in nearly every game. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Ned Johnson)
