How would you react if someone showed up to a uniform inspection with a ribbon rack like this?

The jokes!

LTJG (Join to see) - My dad and uncles told Marine jokes as sailors and into old age. As an Army vet it is only natural that I tell Navy jokes! My dad's brother was a Marine by the way!

And here I thought that was a picture of you at quarters, SA Jim Arnold. ;)

No. I wore mine upside down.

I was class leader of my C school. Had a Sailor show up to graduation 45 minutes late in the wrong uniform, with the wrong rating badge.. Chief lost her mind before I could.

I was class leader when that happened!

I'm surprised that the Chief didn't explode right there on the grinder.

PO1 Richard Cormier - Negative. The Anchor rating insignia is a real thing. Not ROTC. Also, ROTC has different ribbons - they would not be authorized to wear the four you see on that uniform. And you're right - I don't believe ribbons go on that uniform item. I wonder if someone was messing with her.. I honest can't tell if this is an extreme case of stupid, or someone posted this for the reaction.

-Ribbons don't go on that uniform.
-Ribbons should be on a single rack.
-Ribbons should be in a row of 4.
-Ribbons in the wrong order.

LTJG (Join to see) - If you say so. I never saw a SR, SA, or SN with that device. The jacket is definitely female (buttons on left side). Strikers could wear the RED, Black, or Green stripes showing they were FN, SN, or AN. If accepted, they would wear the device for the rate they were striking for (BT, BM, AT, etc...)

Guess I don't know what it is about the "New" Navy with the Blueberries, and the "Almost a Marine" uniforms.

PO1 Richard Cormier - Despite my assumption or the individual's status, or whether of not it is a "what if", the question is what would you do. It has to be fake and has to be Navy. No ex-AF individual would be that un-squared away. LOL
I stated my "what if" as I would consider dealing with and it stands. It still has to be a joke.

LTJG (Join to see) - Usually if a seaman (SR,SA,SN) has just an anchor (like shows above) as their rating badge it's usually a Undesignated Seaman. I don't know anything bout the ROTC aspects (yet) so I don't know if they use the same patches or not. A Undesignated seaman (meaning they didn't chose a rate) have to what is called striking to the rate they want to be. They are understudies of petty officers (usually) and after having OJT, they have to apply for an A-school. Once accepted, they are put on TAD orders and sent to their rating A school. It's not like a "boom-boom-boom" thing, it does take some time. An "UnDes" was wanting to strike for IT school, after waiting almost 6-9 months she got a seat in the A-School. She did get denied at one point, but was accepted in the end.

I once had an staff sergeant working for me that I was doing a counseling session for something completely unrelated to his uniform. This was during the time air force had to wear their blues once a week. I was the NCOIC but also had the section chief in the room with me. As I'm looking over this SSgt's blues I notice the following issues: 1. Ribbons out of precedence. 2. Collar on his shirt so tight his face was bright red (long sleeve shirt so had to wear a tie). 3. Buttons on shirt about to pop. 4. Pants were not hemmed, they were rolled under. 5. Chloroframs were scuffed and unserviceable. We were in England and the closest clothing sales was at Lakenheath, about 45 minutes away. At lunch I dismissed the NCO with explicit instructions he was to go to Lakenheath and get every item needed to bring his uniform back up to inspection level because the next week we would have the first sergeant do a uniform inspection in full service dress. And he had to present the receipt to either myself or the section chief as well as the receipt from alterations. He got another piece of paperwork and presented us the receipts and passed that next uniform inspection. That meme must have been what my section chief and I looked like after that original counseling session.

No excuse for Stolen Valor..
