U.S. Army Spc. Tommy Thomas, from Bennestville, S.C., signs up to participate in a push-up competition at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, located on the Arabian peninsula, on Feb 13. Many of the event's participants were participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program, offering war fighters a brief respite from military operations in southwest Asia. In total, 48 competitors joined the day's exhausting two-minute push-up challenge, organized by the Area Support Group Qatar Morale, Welfare and Recreation team. The popularity of the day's push-up challenge was fueled by a donation of shirts, accessories and magazines from Muscular Development, a popular monthly newsstand publication.
