U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy McGuire, assigned
Summary
U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy McGuire, assigned to 39th Signal Battalion, adjusts his position before hitting during the traditional festivity in the town of Chièvres, Belgium, Feb. 14, 2018. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of “crossage”, takes place the day after MardiGras. Players drive an oak ball, called a “chôlette” (pronounced: show-let), with a wooden club, or “rabot” (pronounced: rah-bo), into metal kegs targets set up around town. Whenever a player is ready to swing, he yells: “Chôlette.” (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Pascal Demeuldre)
