Coast Guard member who flashed white power signal pulled from storm duty

This is just not okay. See you and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

This 'signal thing has gotten out of control. There are only so many things you can do with your hands and not all of them are signals to normal people.

This is making the rounds, and folks seem to refuse to believe that simple hand gestures can have double meanings. The ‘circle’ or ‘crotch look’ have been around forever. I still use it, BUT the circle is below the waist, and usually right in front of the crotch itself. Whether or not his intentions, he did it in uniform in a place where evidently it was seen on camera behind a senior officer. This is like the dust up over the Soldier with the crossed fingers standing next to HRC in a deployed location. Everyone swore it was either a prayer she doesn’t get elected or a sign the nations in distress. The ‘circle’ joke is not a ‘liberal trolling’ gesture. That’s just making it a political cop out, and I know many conservative troops who do it to each other.

Be a man and own up to your screw up. It’s on camera.
