DescriptionNine men posing in front of a volleyball net. Four of them are kneeling on the ground in front of the others. One man is wearing a military uniform. The other eight men are all wearing t-shirts with "738" at the top, a symbol that appears to be crossed guns, and "AAA" underneath. There is a volleyball on the ground between the men in the front row. In the background are buildings, possibly quonset huts, that have rounded roofs, and palm trees.
