That is some high level bs right there. Some one handed the gun to him, and he fired it. The damn Navy was who posted the picture. It cost millions of dollars to train someone to captain a ship, but apparently PR is priceless.
A US Navy warship commander was relieved of duty over a 'loss of confidence' 4 months after he was photographed firing a rifle with a backward scope
The US Navy said Commander Cameron Yaste was relieved "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer."www.yahoo.com

The Saipan had a little family cruise where we went out a few miles and fired off the guns and missiles. The flight deck was full of folks, listening to music and grilling hot dogs and burgers. So when one of the missiles hit a wave and turned and came back about 50 feet above the deck, it was pretty interesting for a few seconds.

So the old trope about 150 sailors going on a cruise and 75 couples coming back is no longer homophobic, just in bad taste now?

I contacted the minor league baseball park in Sac and pointed out that they are required to light the US flag at night if they are going to leave it up (4 United States Code Ch1 section 6). I see it (or don't) on the news at night during the weather segment. I got nothing but crickets from the park so I contacted the investigative reporter on the news channel and we'll see where this goes. Don't disrespect our flag.

Credit where it's due, also a damn fine system and provides a wider safe escape envelope than MB. Survivability at higher speeds and higher altitudes and better function at unusual attitudes.

I probably still have a couple yards of flightline laying around.
I do have one of the two keys plus the switch to launch an ICBM.
