Messed Up Uniform
I just cannot believe that any guy would be stupid enough to wear that in public.
How long has the garrison/ overseas cap been phased out? This pic was taken in 2009? This guy then must either have never actually served or has been out so long that he is not aware that the overseas cap is long gone.

I wonder if......
I wonder if he even knows what that little ribbon is on the bottom left is - since he seems to be missing his SWASR for the same period.
Seems right proud of his uniform. Six service stripes and CSM? Don't think so.
Long term SF could pin on E-9 in under 19 years - and he don't look like my peer.
Would love to get a look at the other shoulder.

Other than he's a phony - his uniform hat depends on when he retired - if he is retired.
I do believe under AR 670-1 a soldier who retired is authorized to wear the last uniform he was wearing at the time of retirement. AR 670-1 has a whole chapter on retired folks - even the patch they should wear on their left shoulder. I have never seen that patch on anyone's uniform and I ain't gonna' correct 'um because mine don't either.
But the whole concept of the SF & Ranger Tabs with a non-SF Ranger patch, the overseas cap, eeee gads makes my skin crawl.
Oh, buy the way - I had to buy one of those hats when I went to the El Paso School for Boys in 1990.

I do like his "triple canopy" resting above his 3rd ID patch...
I dunno, he looks legit to me.
I think he might be the Navy Seal that killed Bin laden on behalf of Walt Disney.
I'd call him a tool-bag, but that would be unfair to innocent bags of tools.

Too late - he's on the Mod's Radar Screen. We'll see if he takes corrective action or continues down the same path.

I don't know if I just can't see it clearly but is that a Mountain tab above the 3ID patch? I don't recall there ever being a Mountain unit in 3ID history.
EDIT: He is also wearing the wrong French Fourragère.
