A Marine shows excitement after he and his fellow Marines make a huge splash in one of the mud pits in the salvage yard wetland aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii during an environmental training exercise, Feb 19, 2014. Combat Assault Company, 3rd Marine Regiment, teams up with Base Environmental each year to conduct the two to three day exercise and tear up the mud within the Nuupia Pond Wildlife Management Area and salvage yard wetland to help preserve the comfortable living conditions of the wildlife within the areas. The result of this exercise allows the endangered Hawaiian Black-necked Stilt to feed and lay nests as well as making water more absorbable in the mud. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
