Hi Dan, I didn’t see your comment until after I posted mine. As to shoulder boards and collar brass. Overall it does not appear this guy put much effort into assembly of his uniform with an eye for authenticity. If he wanted his little charade to pass inspection he would have put a little effort into his collection.

I was Army and have always found Naval uniforms and choices to be incredibly complicated. To my Army eyes this uniform does not appear to be correct. I see collar brass on an officer? No name tag? No jump wings? Not so sure about the shoulder boards – is that Captain (same as Colonel in other services.) Looking at his ribbon bar makes me dizzy. Sometime you can tell a little about a person by his ribbons – in this case – not so much.
This guy is unbelievable! 0-6 shoulder boards with an E4 petty officer insignia on his collar. Why? “Because it looks cool”
