    Sailors from USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit participate in a "crossing the line" ceremony. It is a traditional rite-of-passage ceremony carried out to appease King Neptune, the mythological god of the seas. Makin Island, the flagship of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, is on a deployment with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit to promote peace and freedom of the seas by providing security and stability in the 7th Fleet area of operations.

    A group of men gathered outdoors, appearing to be on the deck of a naval vessel or ship, with open water and overcast sky visible in the background. Several men are smiling and laughing, suggesting a casual, social interaction. They are dressed in informal attire including black and white t-shirts.
    Two men in athletic wear are giving each other a high-five on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. One man is wearing fingerless workout gloves and a gray t-shirt, while the other wears a white t-shirt with partially visible text reading 'GOGGLE BABY' and 'who let the...names out'. In the background, a large group of military personnel are engaged in physical training exercises on the ship's deck with the ocean visible behind them.
    A woman in a wet white t-shirt is crawling under a wooden A-frame obstacle structure strung with ropes or wires on a wet surface, appearing to be part of a military-style obstacle course or physical training exercise. Several military personnel in uniform are visible in the background, one holding a fire hose. The setting appears to be on a ship's deck or outdoor training area, with participants soaking wet.
