When You See It, Cpl Edition

Alright Marines, take a look at this young NCO, and let’s see what is wrong in this picture.

When You See It

Let’s see if we can see all that is wrong with the uniform of this young Cpl.

  1. He is wearing the cover issued to female Marines
  2. He isn’t wearing color emblems
  3. His gig line is off (belt is not centered)
  4. His trousers are too long
  5. Chevrons look too low
  6. White gloves only in ceremonies

This guy is a total Soup Sandwich, likely not a real Marine, probably told everyone he was and found the uniform at a thrift shop.

Welcome to the Average Joe Weekly blog. This is basically my place on the web where I can help spread some of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I served 10+ years in the Marine Corps on Active Duty, but that was some 25 years ago.
