"So we do this thing called 'pocket rocks.' When someone's working or not paying attention, we'll go up behind them and put rocks in their pockets. Pocket rock.

Cobra Gold 18 is an annual exercise conducted in the Kingdom of Thailand which runs from Feb. 13-23 with seven full participating nations. ( Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Matthew J. Bragg)
