Here's a profile photo shot from the online alumni news - you would know more about what you see at work here, than me.

First of all, I'm curious about how someone goes to military school without being a shooter.
Secondly, I realize you did not take those pictures, so I'm being critical of someone elses photography rather than yours. They are fuzzy at best to start with and they would not enlarge enough for me to see hardly anything. From what I could tell, I could not see any safety hazards of any sort in the pictures.
On a skeet or trap range the rules and procedures are quite simple and quite safe. Basically no gun can be loaded until a person is at a station preparing to fire. Their shotgun is pointed down and downrange while loading. While NOT at the station in a firing position, the action must be open for everyone to see.
This is one of the many reasons that most sport shooters shoot a double. They can easily carry it with the action broken for all to see that it is empty and incapable of firing.
