U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Justin Monty, 424th Air Base Squadron, participates in a traditional festivity in the town of Chièvres. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of “crossage”, takes place the day after Mardi Gras. Players drive a oak ball, called a “chôlette” (pronounced: show-let), with a wooden club, or “rabot” (pronounced: rah-bo), into metal kegs targets set up around town. Whenever a player is ready to swing, he yells: “Chôlette". Chievres, Belgium, Feb. 18, 2015. (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Henri Cambier/Released)
