As a former reserve officer who has gone through similar training, I would
be somewhat concerned with flinching caused by the pops and flashes, which
are random by their nature. It will take a lot of concentration to hold the
camera anything like steady. Count on at least two stops loss for higher
shutter speeds.

Focusing through safety glasses is difficult at best: if these are sratched
up it may be impossible. Try to arrange for a new pair ahead of time.

A reduced contrast film, such as Fuji NPH, would help mitigate the high
contrast problem.
Hope this helps a little.
