This is not comms at all.
The Navy just wanted to show how expert marksmen they are
They can hit a target even when the scope is reversed!!!
My son grew up around guns his whole life. He’s in the Navy and I can promise you don’t want to be on the other end of his rifle.
This brings up the possibility of a sailor who didn't like his commander and set him up for ridicule.
The Stars and stripes article mentioned that somebody had to go back and get corrective training.
And it's a legit photo according to stars and stripes
