Crewmembers of the Coast Guard Cutter Sycamore, homeported

Crewmembers of the Coast Guard Cutter Sycamore, homeported in Cordova, Alaska, use every ounce of strength to beat the Coast Guard Cutter Hickory, taking first place in the tug-o-war during the Buoy Tender Roundup Olympics at Coast Guard Station Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 16, 2017. The Olympics is a competition that not only builds morale amongst cutter members but also provides a fun alternative to every day training in events such as the chain pull, survival swim and the heat-and-beat.
