non-military wearing the uniform or parts of it

[blueshirt2003]

I saw a guy today who was wearing a DCU patrol cap. It was ranger rolled, has a U.S. Army tape in place where the name tape should be. He had some gold insignia placed above the back tape as well. Then, he had E-8 rank on the front of it. His hair looked to be completely shaved off. All of this was worn with regular civies (t-shirt and shorts with flip flops).

What is wrong with people?

I have a photo of him but I don't know how to upload it via the app.

Did I ever tell you about the girl who got "sexy" pics taken in her FI's NWU's. It was okay though because she asked his superior first and he approved it...eye roll. I can't believe she asked in the first place, let alone that it was "approved".

Was he old? I can get over vets doing that stuff no problem. But if he was a kid, then yeah, kinda gross.

I think he was in his late 30's, maybe 40's.

A photo from behind without his face showing.

And, wearing it inside nonetheless.

I honestly can't imagine him being prior service or current service. It seemed as though he was wearing for attention.

Surely he'd have his own name on the back on not U.S. Army. Or a unit crest (if that's what it was) on the back of it.

For the rank I know for sure there were 3 rockers and 3 chevrons. It could have had the other insignia within it that makes it an E-9 rank.

It definitely just caught my attention but aside from that I know there is nothing to do about it. It's just simply disrespectful to those who have really been in the military IF he was faking it.

That picture is awkward and weird.
