What exactly is going on in this photo?

And... are those Hard Core Devil Dogs standing at attention in the background?

Reenlistment.

The poster is Fatty the Ferret, also known as Your Phone Is Mine, and on the other site, Redworm. The subject of banning over and over again.

I just find it funny that the guys in formation are pasty white.

[GunRun]

that is a sweet uniform of the day.

This is also what Aloha Friday should look like.

LOL, You would think they'd be a little tanner, huh? Also, they're pretty soft around the midsection.

[AlohaMarine]

Of course they're pasty and soft. They're in a unit with females.

I wonder if that chick yells at grunt NCOs for "swearing" too much...

SgtsMaj, MGySgts, CMDCMs,

I received numerous e-mails on this photo of a CWO reenlisting a Marine in
inappropriate attire. I ask that you hold PMEs and utilize this incident as
an example of what not to do. Where were the SNCOs/NCOs to stand-up and say
"this is not the right thing to do for our Corps?" This is a lesson on what
happens when the leadership allows our standards, ethos, and all those
things that separate us from every other military service in the world to be
violated. The Marines leadership is addressing this issue. This photo is
all around the world and I would ask that you do not forward this e-mail
with the inappropriate photo. Thanks. Semper Fi.

Yeah, freedom of speech is a bad thing.

[TheReservist]

What exactly is wrong with the picture?

I thought that Marines were able to choose where and how their reenlistment ceremonies went?

USMC.mil has covered several of those like this similar reenlistment done in civies too.

That is too bad the SgtMaj feels that way. I did my reenlistment at the top of a rappel tower in NTA on Oki -- camo'd up in boots and utes. Back in my day, the SNMarine had their choice. I don't think that picture degrades or does anything to promote a bad image of the Corps. I didn't know the SgtMaj was so PC -- I might have lost a little respect for him after that.

Well, except for those pasty-white, flabby-chested Marines. LOL
