I'd suspect that the shells were added afterwards for effect. Who knows? Looks like a photo op to me.The picture shows he's firing the weapon. What is he firing at? WTF

You ever looked through the objective of a VPO on 1x? If he's not "gun people" he's not likely to notice the reticle being inverted. If it's an illuminated FFP donut/circle there's even less to indicate something isn't right. It's funny/dumb and made exponentially worse once the pic hit the web, but I've seen "gun people" do worse and unsafe stuff at the ranges locally.Even if he was not "gun people" wouldn't you think something was not right when you looked down the scope? He knew enough not to put the muzzle into his shoulder. If he ever used binoculars he would know he's not looking down the correct sight picture.

He didn't lose his job for the VCOG being on backwards. As mentioned before, "loss of cofidence" covers a wide range of things and SWOs could give a crap about individual weapons handling skills.
I know the forum will be glad to read about his replacement.
CAPT Allison N. Christy
Captain Christy is from Seattle, Washington. She graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science.At sea assignments include OI Division Officer,www.surfpac.navy.mil
objective is flipped up. You can see it under the brim of the hat. Rear is open, looks like it's flipped to the far side covering the gap between the scope and the top of the rifle.I just noticed, it looks like the scope cap is still on or am I mistaken? This guy probably pissed someone off..
We would prank each other, a Chief or two if you knew them well enough, but the Ship's Commander? Not a chance.You guys have already posted what I was thinking. There are a lot of folks that aren't "gun people" in the military and LE, and it would be completely on-brand to prank someone like that. I would hate to have that be a prank (and it could be he was in on the joke and posted the photo purposefully) and cost him his command.
The US Navy sacked a destroyer captain after a persistent steering problem led to a Middle East near-miss
The commanding officer wasn't fired for looking through the wrong end of a rifle scope, an investigation shows. Here's what really happened.www.yahoo.com
Loss of steering on naval vessels is common. How I know... Wabash AOR-5. 4.5 years. Shield, storm. If it were a fire able offense half the navy would get replaced every 2 months. Its what happens when the Italians are building the ships at lowest bidder rates.The US Navy sacked a destroyer captain after a persistent steering problem led to a Middle East near-miss

Maybe he is only used to real old school scopes. Where the biggest end of the scope is always at the front? But still seeing the screwed up image should have been a clue, just like binoculars. Maybe the chief had made a convincing rank on the boss?objective is flipped up. You can see it under the brim of the hat.
