Summary

[edit]
Description

You voted, and this week’s Top Corps Shot and February photo of the month comes from Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Alan Gragg. Gragg managed to capture this shot during an insertion training exercise with 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Gragg said he had never seen a helicopter that close to the water, and actually had to underexpose the shot to see through the cloud of water. “As a photographer, it's always a great feeling to be able to capture the moments that people may have had trouble seeing in real-time,” he said.

The 11th MEU is embarked aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island, deployed supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
