When taking a DA photo, should females have to arrange their decorations on-site to compensate for height and angle of the camera?

I just took a DA Photo for my first look and I noticed too late that my CSIB is crooked. Everything is dead-on straight from the front, but certain female curves alter the appearance from the required DA Photo angle. How much do promotion board members generally account for that? Should females have to arrange their decorations on-site to compensate for height and angle of the camera?

This is a concern I had when it came to the DA Photo. Even when I'm standing still my uniform seems to only be off cause a soldier is taller or shorter than me. That perspective kills and hope the board members are aware of that discrepancy. Last thing I need to be told is that my photo was off when I had multiple senior enlisted leaders saying I'm good to go.

It happens with males too... a lot of ASU's appear to be made in Sweat Shops, and have wavy, crooked pockets, or irregular lines. Decorations and accoutrements can be perfectly straight, but appear crooked at a slightly different angle, or if the person shifts posture... I suspect board members know this...

I'm not a big believer in systemic oppression.....but that's exactly what this is.
