Navy Deletes Humiliating Rifle Photo…

[rhamersley]

This is the original tweet pulled from the military story thread in the breakroom. When I first looked at it, I thought they had changed it because there was a white dude in it, and couldn't have that, could we? They did put a female picture in that slot, hence my original opinion...

There is a Master Chief who failed to keep his CO from looking like an idiot. Or...

The puzzling thing for me is they can’t just get a decent pic without photoshop?

This is why we send USMC on ride alongs with the Navy.

I don’t know about that being photo shopped - it was posted on official US Navy account, and the Navy admitted they goofed as I posted over in the Military BS thread. If it was photo shopped, then the call came from inside the house.

and now the Marines are rubbing it in:



”Clear Sight Picture.” Ouch.

As well they should.

Can we just agree that unless they're a SEAL, the Navy shouldn't be shooting anything under 20mm?

now the question is was it intentional or not?

It really doesn't matter if it's on backwards, he probably has his eyes closed anyway.

I mount all my scopes backwards. I've got astigmatism

From my days as RSO at RUSA. I know it's not the Navy but just a reminder in today's world stupid surrounds us.

Surprised they didn't say it was backwards on purpose, to make the target look smaller and provide more cost-effective "long range practice simulation..."

Dang it, you beat me to it!!!!!!
