The oddest glaring thing about this pic to me is how they are standing. Differently. Now it's been some time since I was in the military, and I was Navy, but no way IMO, was that pic not purposefully staged like that.
We used to take crew pics back in my day. Stand in front of the plane. Just squadron pics for everyone to take home, and to go in the deployment books. Just like this pic but not to be shared outside our squadron except on your wall in your house or office. But no way in hell would they let us pose without being uniformed and symmetrical. It at least used to be the military way.
I mean shit, we have some standing casual, some a parade rest, and one standing at attention. Maybe if he was getting an award higher than the rest, and front and center, the parade rest guys where symmetrical. But never like this.
