Myles Erkins, a Misawa Jets and 35th Force Support Squadron member, watches and listens while his coach and teammates discuss their pregame strategies for coming out on top of the Aomori Wat’s before the exhibition game at the Misawa International Sports Center in Misawa City, Japan, Aug. 18, 2018. The Wat’s proved more difficult a competitor but the Jets kept up the pace into halftime with the Wat’s leading 46-35. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
