    A person wearing a yellow 'NAVY' t-shirt is being sprayed in the face with what appears to be a liquid substance, likely OC (pepper) spray or water during a military/law enforcement training exercise. A second individual in a dark uniform and white cap is administering the spray from the foreground. The subject's eyes are tightly shut and face is contorted in reaction to the spray.

    A person wearing a navy blue shirt with a gold eagle/anchor insignia is having their eyes flushed with water from a hose. The water is streaming directly onto their face while their eyes are closed. This appears to be an emergency eye-wash procedure or decontamination protocol, likely in a military or industrial setting.
    Two individuals are engaged in a combat or self-defense training exercise in what appears to be a military vessel's interior space. One person wears full protective gear including a 'High Gear' brand helmet and 'FIST' brand body armor with arm guards, while the other is dressed in a dark naval coverall uniform. The person in the coverall appears to be reacting to or simulating use of a small blue object, possibly a training weapon or OC spray canister.
    A U.S. Navy training exercise is taking place on blue padded mats inside what appears to be a ship's interior. A sailor in a yellow 'NAVY' shirt is pointing a device (likely a training Taser/OC spray) at a person lying face-down on the mats wearing full protective/padded training gear. A second person in black clothing observes and takes notes in the background.
