    A U.S. Navy service member in a yellow 'NAVY' t-shirt is being sprayed in the face with what appears to be OC (oleoresin capsicum/pepper) spray by a person in a red long-sleeve shirt. This appears to be a military or law enforcement training exercise where personnel are required to be exposed to pepper spray as part of certification. A third individual in the background observes the exercise on a grassy outdoor training area.
