Is it just me or is the QRT training to aim at their fellow members? I don't remember ANY training, close-quarters or any other type, that requires pointing a weapon at a 'friendly'.

Looks like a good NCO needs to let these young Airmen know their stripes are way too high up on their sleeves.

Too bad they don't conduct retreat the proper way. Other than that, nice photos.
