Aviation Electrician's Mate 3rd Class Shawn Mullen, originally from Watson, La., and assigned to Patrol Squadron 10, left, and Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 2nd Class Parnell Nauta, a native of Talofofo, Guam, and attached to Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Detachment Misawa, chisel away at a 6-foot block of snow. The sailors are from Naval Air Facility Misawa, and its tenant and deployed commands, and are part of a team creating a snow sculpture on behalf of the base for the 64th Annual Sapporo Snow Festival on northern Japan’s Hokkaido Island. This is the 30th year that the naval installation has sent a delegation of sailors to take part in the city's festival. The team intends to create a scaled-down replica of USS George Washington's forecastle out of snow and ice. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist Daniel Sanford)
