Marines Passed Time Jumping Rope During Two-Week Quarantine Down Under
 
11 Apr 2020
Stars and Stripes | By Seth Robson

A group of Marines has emerged from a two-week quarantine in Darwin, Australia, with new jump-rope skills.

Fifty-four Marines, the advance party of what was to be a 2,500-strong summer rotational force Down Under, were placed in quarantine last month to guard against transmission of the coronavirus.

The Marine Corps postponed the rotation on March 30 following an order from Defense Secretary Mark Esper a week earlier barring nearly all official movement overseas for Defense Department personnel.

Good for them!

Jumping rope is a GREAT exercise that even helps with improving coordination.

Or bandaging,whichever is required the most.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
