Cpl. Anthony Skon poses for a photo April 19 after making it through the “pit-and-pond” obstacle of the endurance course at Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa, Japan. For Skon, an infantryman, leading by example is a necessity regardless of circumstance. “Proving your reliability and not quitting is worth everything,” he says about being a leader of Marines. The E-course pitted Marine against nature through 30 obstacles encompassing all aspects of jungle warfare and survival. Many challenges involved hasty rappelling, scaling steep hills and trudging through knee-deep peanut butter-like mud. All of the challenges took teamwork to accomplish. Skon is a Queen Creek, Ariz., Native and team leader with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment out of Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The battalion is attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force as part of the unit deployment program. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
