Summary[edit]

Description

You voted, and April's Corps Top Shot comes from Cpl. Tyler Main. Main had just 15 minutes on the ground during this portion of Exercise African Lion but was able to catch this shot of a Marine with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment. "It was crazy windy all week and the sand that blew up in that wind stung your face when it hit, So, the helicopter just multiplied the effect," Main said. "That's why the Marine is 'Tebowing.' I didn't really notice it as 'Tebowing' until I read a few fan comments, then it was hilarious. I think that's partially why it won, and I had nothing to do with it."

Marines of 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, Battalion Landing Team, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit wait to be extracted by helicopter during a rehearsal of the final exercise at Exercise Africa Lion 2012, April 16. AL-12 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led exercise involving various types of training including command post, live-fire and maneuvering, peace keeping operations, an intelligence capacity building seminar, aerial refueling/low-level flight training, as well as medical and dental assistance projects. The annual exercise is designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation's military tactics, techniques and procedures.
