    Pfc. Justin Oates lies on his back and wiggles beneath barbed wire at the “Pit and Pond” obstacle during the endurance course April 19 at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa, Japan. “At the end of that course, I was the filthiest I’ve ever been in my life,” said Oates about the grueling course. The endurance course is the culminating event that builds on the skills acquired by the Marines through the previous week of jungle warfare training. Oates is a St. Louis, Mo., native and machine gunner with Company L, 2rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. The Hawaii-based battalion is attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
