Lance Cpl. Brandon Sayers poses for a photo April 19 after completing the “pit-and-pond” obstacle on the endurance course at Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa, Japan. The E-course pitted Marines 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. JWTC is the only jungle training center in the Department of Defense, spanning 20,000 acres of unforgiving Okinawan wilderness. The facility was initially used to train Marines before they deployed during the Vietnam War. Sayers is a Sheffield Village, Ohio, native and rifleman with Lima Company, 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.
