If you saw one of your Joes doing this, how would you react?

In this situation, as many SFC's have said, it's definitely best to talk to the soldier in private. I'll put myself in his shoes cause I'm still pretty new too. I'd definitely like someone to show me the correct way, if I messed up, rather than to be reprimanded for something that could've been fixed with a simple private conversation

I see this all the time. Guys get back from basic and show up in church or other places in their BDUs or whatever they are called now. Whatever we've all been there. He's a proud kid fresh out of basic and wants to show off to all his HS buddies and GF. Maybe tell him he's a dousche bag, but other then that leave him alone. God only knows where you showed up after AIT in your uniform to obtain some undeserved attention. Don't be that prick NCO that nit picks the hell out of his guys.

ACUs were not the appropriate dress for this function.

First, since the faces are blurred, I don't know which one he is but I would say If he is the first or fourth person in front row then he is completely out of uniform and grooming. standards. He needs a haircut, those dresses are especially are way too short, and where the hell are his Pom-poms. Both individuals lack the standard amount of hair bows and their footwear is definitely lacking enough Kaboom accessories for a cheerleading event. It is appropriate in this photo opportunity to assume a super cheer position like a single leg Krakow with a high V arm pump or a twisty rumper bumper with a Gindy Up to show your spirit. He should be counseled that wearing that cheerleadering uniform ended sometime in the 90s and if those are wigs, he should be shown the Regs stating that Wigs, if worn in public, can not look like you borrowed it from your grandma. Finally, as Cheerleading is so close to being an Olympic Sport, he must counseled that any deviation from Uniform Code of Cheerleading Regulations could result in punishment such as but not limited to Burning his Pom-poms, stripping him of his cheer buttons, or expulsion by the walk of Cheer Shame. He should remember the Cheerleading Sacred Motto; "To Cheer or not to Cheer, WHAT a Stupid Question!.

I believe this is a presentation of the homecoming court during school on a game day. At my high school everyone involved in a football game could wear their uniform. For example, football players wearing their jerseys; cheerleaders in their uniforms; band members in their band shirts; and ROTC members wearing their uniforms.

It just looks like a homecoming court photo. Unless he specifically said prom, I would assume it wasn't.

There are two things here. The first thing this is not prom. The cheerleading outfits. Secondly, how do we not know this individual was not helping his recruiter at his old high school. His girlfriend may have made something as part of the prom amd asked him to be part of the picture. There is not enough information to make a sound call.

Hands at parade rest, feet at attention....I lean towards jrotc as well....

Don't go near Waynesville High school during PTA meetings or sports events or you will find a lot higher ranking personnel in ACU's from Fort Leonard Wood.

Drop and give me 50. Now dirtball!
