Marine Sgt. Gabriel Morales, an infantryman with Marine Rotational Force Europe , lifts a 130-pound keg over his head during the Viking Challenge, May 24 at Rena Leir, Norway. The keg lift, much like the Marine Corps’ ammunition can lift, was a timed event of the Norwegian Telemark Battalion’s annual competition. A group of eight Marines participated in the elite warrior festival and challenged five Telemark Bn. units for victory and bragging rights.
