    U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Katherine Harris, assigned to 39th Signal Battalion, adjusts her position before swinging during a traditional festivity called “Crossage” in Chièvres, Belgium, Feb. 14, 2018. U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy McGuire, assigned to 39th Signal Battalion watches her technique. The annual event, named after the golf-like, medieval sport, takes place the day after Mardi Gras. Players drive an oak ball called a “chôlette” with a wooden club or “rabot” into metal kegs set up around town. (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Henri Cambier)
