Heinous Navy

WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD ANYONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND DISRESPECT THERE SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM AND WEAR A FLAK AROUND IT AND JUST BE FINE WITH IT. MIND YOU THIS IS A CHIEF PETTY OFFICER 3rd CLASS YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR HIMSELF.

MARINES TELL ME WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THIS. I TOOK THIS PICTURE MYSELF AND HE JUST STOOD THERE AND POSED FOR ME. I WORK IN SUPPLY FOR AAV SCHOOLS AND I JUST SO HAPPEN TO SEE THIS NAVY GUY OVER AT FMTB LOOIN LIKE THIS.

It depends on the uniform of the day, but if he is wearing a flak. It would seem he would also be wearing his web gear. He looks unsat even if he did not have the flak on, over weight and no military alignment. Also in the early years Marine Dress Blues were the daily uniform and also the battle dress uniform, with the 782 gear of that era and also leggings worn also. Also the garrison cover was not worn with the Blues, it was sort of a cowboy hat.

Is Chief Petty Officer 3rd class a new rank?

[Marine1011]

Why in the world would someone disrespect their rank structure, is another question.
Is a Chief Petty Officer Third Class someone who is not quite Chief but hasn't quite made it to second and first class yet?

LOL...no such animal. If he's a CPO he's an E7, a PO3 he's an E4.

There is no such rank. My brother's a CPO, that's it, just CPO. Only Petty Officers are ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class.

Thats the way I was always taught and remembered from my days working for and training the Navy. Never know with todays military

[Ceckert85]

[PJones64]

They were laughing at his rank, which did not even exist.

How true Gunny,how true. You were an E7, you ever see someone at that paygrade so less squared away? That is if he really is an E7

[Ceckert85]

No problem on the rank. Even as an E4 he should know better
