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

I would have lost my mind on her first line leader (Work Center Sup). Though it’s her fault ultimately I agree, she has been failed by her leadership at the lowest level long before I would have been standing in front of her. Maybe I’m soft but I would have dug into my bag of uniform junk which I always kept for the junior sailors and handed her what she needed and then I would have eaten her first line leader for lunch! She never should have made it to a division inspection looking like that… unacceptable.

For some reason I suspect this is not a problem in the Marine Corps.

All this time and the ribbons were so disturbing that no one noticed the deck apes apparently had powdered a powdered donut fight before the inspection.

Slap his squad leader

grab that person take him aside, unfuck that mess he calls a ribbon rack, and then let him loose

Did that "uniform" come from an Army Navy store?

It's going to be a long night!

Time for a smoking.

I would agree too, with all those that have commented...unacceptable! The bad thing about the whole situation, IT'S OUT THERE, not matter what branch of service!

I would respond with guidance and possibly take this young man or woman to the BX/PX/NX to get their first multi ribbon bar, or use two single ribbon bars on the bottom row and split the ribbons on those bars to make them tight and straight. Why let another persons uniform speak for thousands of others when a simple correction is in order. Chances are though that this person has other things wrong with his or her uniform too.
