Is this real or a bunch of BS?

During my 4 years in the Army, I only saw 1 Warrant Officer. You guys an elusive group but here on RP, you're everywhere. Just giving you a little shit, Chief.

Where were you looking for 1 Warrant Officer after 4 years in the Army?
Did you try looking in the men's room? Just giving you a little shit back.

PFC Shawn West - I knew they had different colors but didn't know what they meant.

PFC Shawn West - They don't give a red service stripe for that period. If you don't have 12 years of continuous good conduct, then they are all red, rank and all.

Ha!

PO3 Bob McCord - Reserves? Signalman 2nd Class, though Signalman was absorbed into QM in 2003. I dunno.

SFC (Join to see) - Ummm.. there are many other laws that are on the books that can be enforced. At one time, you were educated in the military as to what or which parts of the uniform can be worn with civilian attire. In the Army it is covered in AR 670-1. 5 items can be worn and it gives the guidelines. Anything outside that, unless you are authorized, constitutes impersonation of military personnel and not only is it covered there, but is also punishable under federal law without having to enact the 'Stolen Valor Act'. Problem is getting law enforcement to do it. Falls under the same reason most on active duty don't like to enter the PX in uniform. If you do, and you are an NCO, then you will never be able to leave or do your shopping because you will be there all day doing your duty.

And some of the comments bring up another issue I got sick of. A bunch damn whine bag liberals using the 'What if' crap to justify something. Enough of that damn garbage. TIS limits a person to a max of 20 years as an E-5 in ALL BRANCHES OF SERVICE! This goes back to WW2. And was replaced with the RCP (retention control points) which limits you to the length of time you can serve once achieving a certain rank. I can't believe that after being retired for 8 years I still have to explain this. This just blows my mind. He's a fake and a fraud! Bottom line. Get over it and stop trying to argue semantics. No wonder our society and system is so fucked up.

SSG Robert Cole I'm not sure why you went on about "whine bag liberals." Is that your go-to when people disagree with you or try to see things from a different perspective.

Anyway, you INCORRECTLY mentioned Stolen Valor, so I CORRECTED you and provided a reference. Don't try to make this about AR670-1 and "many other laws on the books." There may be some things that aren't enforceable simply due to laziness of enforcement personnel, then there are other things that aren't enforceable due to Supreme Court rulings deeming them unconstitutional, which is the case of civilian wear of military uniforms. None of us know this guy, so he could be a retiree or simply a civilian guest of a servicemember/retiree. Can you please reference an enforceable law pertaining civilians wearing military uniforms outside of them using it to commit a crime?

That is why the "what-if" sessions are educational, because everyone can possibly learn something new. There have been many occasions where Reservists and Guard personnel had to educate us Active Duty-only folks on seemingly nefarious situations that are either normal or rare (yet authorized) in the Reserves or Guard.

It's about keeping it simple. Or do you enjoy drama? Most of these posts are but drama. In the beginning there were always good subjects. Now a lot of baby moma drama. If you read the point of the post.. it is very clear. And yes.. years ago, civilians would get busted for it. So why argue for a view that is clearly wrong. That again, and in itself is drama. Same as with most liberals.. Your only right when you see their side.. but when you show proof that the opposite is correct, they change the narrative of the argument, just as you have done so here. So to keep it simple, do your job, lead and enforce the regulations during your duty time. When off duty, stay focused on the mission for the next day.. Or is that wrong also? I'm done here. Point made, laws and regs are correct as with my stance. If the explicitives insight offense, then take a closer look inside. Happy New Year.
