U.S. Navy Mocked for Photo of Commander With Rifle Scope Mounted Backwards

So, will it be the commander who gets the Extra Military Instruction, or the Gunners Mate that handed the weapon to him?

Yes

I’m not convinced that’s not photoshopped.

EMI? What does electro-magnetic interference have to do with it?

DId somebody throw some brass up in the air for the photo op?

EMI- extra military instruction, in other words remedial training.. - Retired Chief

At least it wasn't a Mini 14.

In an article I read about this, it was mentioned that someone was able to see aberrations around the scope but not around the rifle. That may be why the article said more about it being photoshopped.

Edit: Found the article that I read.

Outkick.com - Navy Rifle Photo Photoshopped Speculation

""I can tell you that the scope was added to the recent US Navy photo after the photo was taken. If you look at the photo knowing that, it becomes obvious: the shadows are inconsistent and there are photo-editing traces around the scope. It remains embarrassing, of course, but that does explain how the issue happened. The Navy probably doesn't want to admit that they doctored the photo, since that, too, is worthy of criticism and opens up more questions about other photos," the photo expert told me."

Looks like he may be right.

I recall awhile back when the black nationalists marched somewhere with photos showing backward mounted eotechs and airsoft scopes, etc.

Best EMI in my 20 year career was counting the number of rivets on the starboard sponson of the SH-3G I worked on at the time.

I deserved worse, lol.
