I know the Harlem Shake was a fad many would like to forget, but these stills were from the first video version of it that I saw and I thought it was pretty cool the Norwegian Army had a pretty sweet sense of humor about it.

For nostalgia, here's the video if anyone wants to take a travel back in time! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hpEnLtqUDg

It was a crazy time. I was pretty big into EDM, and so when I was in the field with the Marines and my company decides they're going to do a Harlem Shake video with 150 dudes, needless to say it felt a little surreal. It was rare we got to act like goofballs, but for like one minute on the shores of Morocco we got to be absolute morons. And then we didn't.

One of the comments on the video is on point. I miss that era of the internet. It seemed so much more innocent, peaceful and heartwarming than it is now. 😞
