Totally legit sergeant/colonel/private
I’m thinking that is just some boot having some fun with his buddies’ racks, but someone probably needs to jerk a knot in his ass about taking pictures of his buffoonery. All we have is this picture and no further info.
Category: "Teh Stoopid"
In the dictionary under “idiot,” that picture illustrates definition #2.
This has been going on for years….no big deal…
(Somewhere in an Officer’s Club outside Kimpo AB Korea)
Col: You all know this is an Officer’s Club, don’t you?
Hawkeye: I’m a Captain, Plain Clothes Division.
Col: Uh huh. Corporal Stripes and Captains Bars?
Hawkeye: That’s a new directive from the Pentagon. That’s right out of G2 and G3 making a G5 Combined Officers Op-Tech Glitch. We’re experimenting with a new rank: Corporal-Captain. We’re down here taking a survey, to see, uh, you know, if everybody likes it, uh, asking everybody in Seoul.
BJ: Goldman-Hawkins, right?
Hawkeye: Right.
Col: Well, I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all!

Lance Corporal chevrons, gold buttons, officer tie clasp, etc., Looks like he’s doing a find Waldo.
@2 No sir I don’t like it at all!!!
He’s a Lance Colonel…. totally legit…. NOT
“Lance Colonel” sounds a lot sexier than a plain jane old “lieutenant colonel”. Let the Army and Air Force keep their stale old lieutenant colonel ranks, the Marines should run with this new “Lance Colonel” thing…
Listen gang, the Marine Corps is now experimenting with unisex dress blues. I do not know how much more I can take…….
It could be one of those “find the mistakes” uniforms.
He’s a captain major-all of the sergeants major will have to salute him……
Clown.
Will the a$$hattery ever cease?
@6:
That’d give us “Terminal Lance Colonels”! Just think of the blog that’d be?!!
Seems close to Ranger Ups It’s Stolen and You Know it video
ChipNASA – great pull, that’s the first thing I thought of…
I’m thinking this is a “training aid” photo for an NCO professional development class…as in “find all the screwed up shit you can in 15 seconds” type thing
I think it’s just a bunch of LCpls in the brks screwing around… probably not a stolen valor issue….just good old plain jack assery….
…but I would put that little turd on duty for a month if he’s in my unit.
Methinks “Terminal Lance” could have a field day with that photo. It’s good for at least a couple of ‘toons.
We’re back to that “do stupid sh*t but don’t take PICTURES of it” thing, again.
Six ribbons, three sets of two each, the medals for those ribbons, Bird Colonel and Lance Corporal. Yea that all sounds right. If he is a Marine screwing around then he could screw himself into NJP. If he is a wannabe then he needs to read this blog to learn how real wannabees wear their stuff. He needs a Trident, Ranger/Airborne tab and all of 20 to 30 ribbons going back to Vietnam. If you are going to pose son, learn from the ass hats you can readily find on TAH. Dumbass!
Can ayone tell me what is over his lance corporal chevron? Is that a gunny chevron too? I can’t see and for the life of me I wouldn’t probably know (or maybe that’s his black lance corporal chevron?)
WTF?
I’m reminded of a pinhead in my unit who had a picture taken of him (Film, not digital) wearing a flak with a Colonel insignia on it.
Free hint: When the CO is preparing to sit down for a meal made from your ass and he gives you a chance to explain yourself, “Someone at the photo lab doctored the picture” is NOT the best avenue of approach.
@7 – Yeah, you probably caught the fact that 8th & I is already experimenting with the “male” dress blues on females.
Yes, my friend – it is happening already.
Next thing you know, officers and enlisted will be referring to each other on a first name basis.
The term “football bat” seems to apply here….
My Money is on high school ROTC
Hey, look, it’s Lance Colonel Goober McGunk!! It’s his birthday, and he put his yooniform together all by himself, Bless his heart!!
Any Chance this some “Acadamy” BS?
That kid looks like he’s uncomfortable with all that stuff on to me. I agree with O-4E (@15)
This looks like some of the crap a couple of Sham-Shields pulled in my supply room when I had to go to State for some God-forsaken briefing. I came back and saw that my accessory drawers (think hardware store screw drawers, but for ribbons and other shit) was all fucked up.
Unfortunately, someone used the supply digital camera to take pics of their asshattery. Yeah, one of my minions (the one I left in charge while I was gone) and those two knuckleheads got to completely fix the drawers…
I dumped all of the drawers in the middle of the floor, gave them all chopsticks, and told them they had one hour before I emptied everything again… any finger-fucking of MY awards meant an instant reset.
For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Lance Private Colonel.
man, he got a hell of a lot of mileage out of the same two awards….each 4 times
Will someone call SoupSandwich and have him give this amateur a lesson?
That is what I call “Jacked The Fuck Up”, and I have never been a Marine, but I will have to agree with O-4E@15, but I would give the class only ten seconds to find everything wrong with that uniform.
Betting the house that this is some freaking LCPl or ROTC kid screwing around. Probably would shit himself if he knew it would end up here. Here’s hoping that the Staff DNCO was touring the area and caught him doing this and chewed his ass so bad they had to graft his upper leg and lower back together to make him a new one.
Look where he placed his expert rifle medal.
@35 Actually, it’s a Sharp Shooter’s badge. It’s definitely barracks buffoonery, and eventually, it not already, I envision a very large leather device crammed in his backside. In the background on the wall paint you can see the scarlet and blue. It’s a Marine Corps facility. I saw similar wall paint at 6th Comm, but this is a different place. This is going to Terminal Lance.
