Should I do something about my unit not posting the presidents portrait on the chain of command?

I've been at my unit several months and there is no picture of my commander in chief on the wall where the chain of command is displayed. Pictures have been updated as changes are made except for the case of the president. Is this something to be irritated about or am I flustered over nothing?

I remember times when the official photo that you had to get through official channels only was not available as they were out of stock. So we had to wait until the gov printing office made another batch of them to get a picture.

Agreed LTC (Join to see) . I work for the Department of Agriculture, and we didn't get the official portraits of the President, VP and Sec of Ag until 6 weeks ago.

these days commands have them available by digital media, just print and put on the wall. The correct pictures should be up.

I suppose it comes down to your give-a-darn level. If former President Obama is still hanging around on the unit wall with the rest of the chain of command, then it could be a problem. If the chain of command on said wall stops at some one like an Army MACOM commander, then it's probably no big deal. Beware being a squeaky-wheel PFC.

You could just ask, I'm not sure if it's necessary... however it seems to strange to omit the POTUS. He should be up there because of the position he holds, not because he's a swell guy. Putting his picture up isn't an endorsement of Trump, its simply an acknowledgement of the chain of command.
