Word is that the Marine Corps is making a LOT of hay with this on social media.

Guy obviously doesn't know what that thing is she's holding. It's obviously a digeridoo.
You should totally post that in the 70's thread as well!
I shot competitively with the Navy for 11 years, twice with teams that won #1 Atlantic Fleet and #1 All Navy, and have instructed a tremendous number of Sailors both enlisted and officer basic weapons handling and marksmanship. "Gun Shoots" out at sea on aviation capable ships are held either on the flight deck or on a lowered elevator, and non-aviation ships usually on the fantail, sometimes with targets (qualification day) or without ("FAM", or weapons familiarization training).How do you know he isn't?
I wonder if you’re jobs harder because the navy does less small arms shooting and more gun the size of a car shooting.I shot competitively with the Navy for 11 years, twice with teams that won #1 Atlantic Fleet and #1 All Navy, and have instructed a tremendous number of Sailors both enlisted and officer basic weapons handling and marksmanship.

For new shooters, or those unfamiliar with weapons in general, we'll often put a stabilizing hand on their shoulder so that we have a touch point to be able to physically intervene immediately if necessary.
No, it doesn't matter that it's just 5.56, nor if it's 9mm, or even if it's a .22LR rimfire. Some folks are simply not accustomed to tools moving about in their hands, and some folks have just a few too many hours studying John Wick to allow them to use certain things unsupervised......until proven otherwise!
This photo is either blatant stupidity, or really terrible photoshopping. 50/50 on that, since I've seen BOTH occur in my endeavors with the Navy marksmanship program........and even been the ignominious recipient of my own silver bullet (if you know, you know).
We (the Navy) have very few guns (if there are actually any left), that are larger than a 5" these days. Even still, those 5" are a lot of fun, too (I spent much of my early years in H2s doing ASW aboard a Knox class frigate, and spent more than a few hours with the GMGs up in the forward turret)!I wonder if you’re jobs harder because the navy does less small arms shooting and more gun the size of a car shooting.

Probably before my time, if true.I had heard a rumor Decades ago that navy guards on watch on a ship were not allowed to have a round in the chamber on the past 45 1911s before the 9mm came to be used. This was told to me that too many holes were shot in the deck from misfires in holster or other during a draw; as 1911s take some used to for the 3 conditions of carry.
I considered it an old wife's tail but perhaps you know the truth ?
Why would they bother editing out the battery compartment?Scope appears to be a Trijicon VCOG.
