Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Nathan Breen, center, a native of Venice, Calif., and assigned to Naval Air Facility Misawa Public Works Department, shields his flag bearer from water-balloon fire during the 2013 Navy Misawa Boat Regatta, Aug. 16, 2013. Breen and his fellow Seabees took part in NAF Misawa’s annual, lighthearted regatta, which calls for each team to build a vessel from non-boating materials. The teams take turns racing around Misawa Air Base's Lake Ogawara, and then must plant their vessel’s flag on the opposing team’s beach, while attempting to avoid water-balloon fire. Misawa Air Base is a U.S. military installation located in northern Japan. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist Daniel Sanford/Released)
