This image strikes home for me since I served in the U.S. Navy for 32-years and can relate to being tired, bored and hot while standing in formation for what seemed like an eternity...
Thanks Richard for sharing your view. It is really a tough job, especially for a person like me, who can't even sit at one place for so long. And these people were standing in heat. He was actually wiping his face and we got eye contact n I pressed the shutter. I was waiting to capture something like this only. Even I waited for quite some time.
