Summary

Description

You voted, and for back-to-back wins, this week's Corps Top Shot comes from Cpl. Tyler Main. Main had been hoping to photograph the tanks in action all week and while at a small-arms range with Marines waiting to fire rockets, he saw big plumes of dust in the distance. "I kinda just ran off the firing line toward the road they were coming down and waited. Some Marines stared a little trying to figure out why I just ran off by myself. Once they saw the tanks flying down the road everyone pulled cameras from different pouches on their body armor and ran after me. We only got pictures of the first one, because after it passed, the dust storm it just created practically buried us. I never remembered looking at many tank pictures since I've been in, I think the people who voted were kind of curious about them too, which may be why it won this week."
