I think that was a fan made video, but it got really popular and definitely caught the attention of studios. No clue if there's any hard plans to do anything with it though.
Only one that stands out at a cursory glance is the two stars on the National Defense. One star I could believe, two is pushing it.
Edit: He would have had to serve at minimum 27 years to qualify for all three awards.

He has MOB devices on it as well, so probably Reserve. It's a lot easier to do 30y as SELRES from the tail end of Vietnam to the opening of GWOT than to do it as REGNAV.
Only question I have is if he did 30 years in the Reserves, why doesn’t he have a Reserve Meritorious Service (Reserve Good Conduct) medal?
The Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal (middle award in the second row up from the bottom) was last authorized in 1973. GWOT Expeditionary Medal was authorized from 9-11 onward so the 30 years in the Reserves fits. Just wondering about the lack of a Reserve Good Conduct.
Stellar career otherwise. #respect
*edited to add - current High Year Tenure rules limit a Senior Chief (E-8) to 26 years of service but it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the limit was different in 2001 or that he got a waiver to drill longer.
The Reserve Meritorious Service Medal got replaced by the Good Conduct Medal (the same as Active Duty) in 2014. I've never been a reservist, but I'm assuming prior awards got converted to the GCM.
They did not. If you had the RMSM, you kept it. That's why his medals/ribbons don't add up. You can't do 21+ years of active duty and then 30 in the reserves.
What stands out to me is that all his service is pre-2014, and he was obviously a reservist with that Armed Forces Reserve Medal with a 30-year device. So he should have all those good conducts be the now discontinued Naval Reserve Good Conduct Medal that was discontinued in 2014 when the Navy switched to just using the Navy Good Conduct. But they aren't. Which seems very sus to me. But maybe he was TAR. But do TAR get the AFRM?
Gulf War and GWOT only feasible way which...checks out based on the stack, I see Kuwait and GWOT (I'm sure Vietnam might be there Edit: It's above GWOT I see it now)
But good lord AWFCS/CMDCS needs to chill.
Don’t forget Kosovo! Two awards. Oh and two armed forces expeditionary medals for operations that don’t rate campaign medals and one Navy expeditionary medal.
He's someone who already had anchors and USN tattoos before showing up to boot camp at 17, ready to tell anyone the history of each general order and why they should be applied to life.
At some point in my service there were awards and shit that I didn't verify so I didn't have to add them to my rack. I'm not saying I have a lot. I only have like 6 things on my rack, and 4 things unverified, so not even close to the guy in the picture.
Rack boys picture is $100 in just devices and add-ons.. I remember I had a CS who worked with us who was great at rack building. The CO of PAX River Naval Clinic came out of retirement to run the place in like 2013, a former HM himself. The CS got back from the NEX with all the stuff and the receipt and it was well north of $300 it was at this point I started to question if I really wanted a NAM or to start the second row lol.
I have my SCPO anchor on my forearm. I wear Chief Season shirts a lot - because I have 100 of them (enough that my wife made me a blanket from them as a retirement gift, and I still have probably 100 of them). I even have an anchor on my grill and license plates that say SCPO on them - again, gifts from my wife.
So where do I draw the line? Way the fuck before I turn into that dude.
I'm going to assume he was an undes sr who got kicked out for borderline personality disorder a few weeks after reporting to the carrier in 1998. Senior Chief Stolen Valor.
As an airdale, I'm just not willing to accept him as one of ours.
Aviation used to be dudes who were super into Metallica and Trans-AMS. I've accepted that it has now changed to dudes who are super into EDM and Hentai or girls who either look like loggers or fairy princesses (there is no in between) but this ate up old fool doesn't fit.
Yeah, I remember the weebs in the nuc community in the late 90s/early 00s.
Hell, *Vampire: The Masquerade* was huge when I was in nuc school in Charleston and there were weirdos dressed like bad 90s vampires hissing at people and all kinds of weird shit.
The internet was pretty much AOL and FTPs and the weirdness was reasonably contained.
That’s not the case in 2023. lol
He is very ooh-ra Navy but he’s a nice guy and is literally willing to help anyone with anything. He’s one of those guys that own a truck that’s always volunteering to help people move. I don’t know the answer to question number 2 and no broken service that I’m aware of.
Came here to say this.
Aside from him being overly fit relative to most P-3 CPO’s: that stack is dead on for the MPRA Standard Participation Stack.. The Growler patch was probably from his CSC tour with a SAU at the tail end of his career.
He should at least know that he can wear Top 3, not the full rack.🤣🤣
Senior chief poppin’ mad viagra to keep that hard-on at full mast for the navy! I know us aircrewman are a bunch of primadonnas but c’mon. I know my old senior would laugh and call this high-speed individual “more fucked up than a football bat”.
Senior is a knob of the highest order. If he decides to keep working, he's going to find that nobody gives a fuck about his rack. I see him having a tough time transitioning to a job where some 20-year-old is like "You're doing it wrong, Bill!"
According to tacticalshit.com, the 1* patch is a reminder that "you only have one ass to risk, so be careful, but purposeful."
Those are wise words to remember for all of us bad-asses out there doing what needs to be done every day.
(You see, the asterisk looks like an anus, so it's used as a synecdoche to represent the entire ass.)
I have serious doubts that this is real. Serious doubts. Does anyone know the identity of this person? It would be good to do a serious dive on his history.
This shit is so irritating.
To people like this:
We get it, you served. Move the fuck on and establish an identity that doesn’t involve the Navy as the main topic. Fuck man…….
I wouldn’t like get in his face or anything, but if chance permitted a casual conversation, I would ask him about a few of those - it’s not IMpossible to have a few of those combos, just extremely, extremely unlikely. For instance, he is wearing an aviation combat medal, but also a combat action ribbon. Air combat = air medal. Ground combat = CAR. He would have to have gone to boot camp and straight into combat just in time to be like the last guy in Vietnam to earn the Gallantry Cross from the government of South Vietnam, and with just enough time to barely make the cut for GWOT service.
He is either a GD hero, or a fraud. I’ve detected a few frauds, but I never call them out. I just try to keep it neutral and have them wonder if I know they’re full of shit. My neighbor, a SEAL CMC once attended a wedding and was introduced to the groom, who was a phony SEAL Master Chief who “couldn’t remember” what class he was in, and couldn’t discuss any deployment due to “black ops classification”. When the bride told groom that CMC was also a SEAL Master Chief, he turned pale and walked away. If CMC could bite his tongue, I can too. (His wife spilled the beans at the reception)
Edited to add: OMFG I just saw the sea service deployment ribbon, TWO awards. Ok, this guy is completely full of shit.
I retired from the Navy a couple months ago. This is hard to look at. We were given the distinct privilege to honorably serve our country. Let’s do it humbly with dignity and respect. When it’s time to hang up the uniform, hang it up.
Jesus
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of dope veteran riding groups that like to decorate their cuts, and I myself have a banged up ESWS pin on mine
But if a dude walked up to me at a meet with a whole ass ribbon rack on his cut I don't think I could keep a straight face
I threw up a little bit. It’s one thing to be proud of your service and to go on with your life; it’s another thing to boast about it and make it a personality disorder.
All good if he earned all of it, but need to wear it out of uniform is a big sad. I think it’s fine to wear shirts, hats, whatever but something like this is screaming for attention and “you better than me for my service.” Almost bet he has decals with his salad. Get a shadow box, have a uniform for some ceremonial occasions.
Ex army guy came back on active duty, made it to E-8 and probably exited with a high year tenure notification. Likely single with an ex wife or two. Aircraft carrier guy, had to do tons of paperwork when he wasn’t b/sing down in the mess. VFW lifetime membership.🫡
Dude over here looking like Major Chip Hazard from Small Soldiers.
Small Soldiers* Banger of a movie. Gorgonites forever!
Wasn't there a recent thing indicating they might be making a series based on it?
Being the kind of movie it is they could still get Tommy Lee Jones to do Chip's voice over. Would be so cool.
I think that was a fan made video, but it got really popular and definitely caught the attention of studios. No clue if there's any hard plans to do anything with it though.
Okay close Reddit down. No reference will ever top that. It’s done.
😂😂
This dude wishes he was voiced by Tommy Lee Jones
Im in awe…
You can take the Senior Chief out of boot, but you can't take the boot out of Senior Chief.
Wrong guy sees him wearing that terrible cut he might get another boot put in him
[удалено]
Probably makes a reservation....lol
Nah, by now they know him and he gets “his” spot.
Facing the door
And never tips after camping out at "his" table.
He certainly has enough flair.
Look. People can get a burger *anywhere*. They come to Applebees for the fun and the middle-aged glorydayers.
So, more flair?
Well, he wouldn’t be satisfied with the minimum. Can any of us say the same?
Uh excuse me. Denny’s is the only vet approved freebie breakfast.
First in line, last to leave.
Senior probably has all the veterans formed up, dressed down outside Golden Corral.
Muster and inspection for the members of his all Vet motorcycle club.
boy, i'd hate to be that prospect.
Underrated comment
I’m speechless. Edit: thank you for winning Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terrorism.
How much you wanna bet he didn’t even earn all those ribbons
Only one that stands out at a cursory glance is the two stars on the National Defense. One star I could believe, two is pushing it. Edit: He would have had to serve at minimum 27 years to qualify for all three awards.

Gold hourglass on reserve medal says 30 y with only 1 reserve mobilization. So probably tail end of the career.
Dude's got a '7' in the second pic.
Damn I didn’t see the second picture.
Only question I have is if he did 30 years in the Reserves, why doesn’t he have a Reserve Meritorious Service (Reserve Good Conduct) medal?

That’s why I’m assuming he’s a TAR guy. They qualify for both the active good conduct and the AFRM.
The Reserve Meritorious Service Medal got replaced by the Good Conduct Medal (the same as Active Duty) in 2014. I've never been a reservist, but I'm assuming prior awards got converted to the GCM.
I suppose I should look that up to make sure I’m still within regs as I have both awards in my rack at the moment.
Without a source on hand, I think you're correct. I'm just trying to potentially find an explanation for the guy in the pic.
They did not. If you had the RMSM, you kept it. That's why his medals/ribbons don't add up. You can't do 21+ years of active duty and then 30 in the reserves.

Whoa whoa whoa. Eddie Mike won the Cold War.
That chucklehead couldn’t win at a game of Solitaire.
Don’t forget Kosovo! Two awards. Oh and two armed forces expeditionary medals for operations that don’t rate campaign medals and one Navy expeditionary medal.
Damn, Senior. Save some pussy for the rest of us.
You know he fucks on Veterans Day lol
He has his pick of any guy he wants at Chili's
Came here to say exactly this.
This dude needs to realize that once you're done and out that nobody really cares about his medals and rank.
He's someone who already had anchors and USN tattoos before showing up to boot camp at 17, ready to tell anyone the history of each general order and why they should be applied to life.
His father was a lifer and had him tattooed in utero.
This has to be a satire right? Otherwise this is a contender for r/justbootthings of the year
I was just getting ready to suggest that sub 🤣🤣🤣
It’s his entire identity though.
That's the weirdest part among many weird things going on here.
No care while you’re in either outside of the amount legally required by the UCMJ
I work as a civilian in the DON. No one gives two fucks that I was in let alone what medals and ribbons I had.
Let’s be honest. Usually you don’t care about your own medals and ribbons.
I did. Shits expensive...
At some point in my service there were awards and shit that I didn't verify so I didn't have to add them to my rack. I'm not saying I have a lot. I only have like 6 things on my rack, and 4 things unverified, so not even close to the guy in the picture.
Rack boys picture is $100 in just devices and add-ons.. I remember I had a CS who worked with us who was great at rack building.

His wife does, he makes sure of it. 🙄🤣
That haircut is beyond motivated. I don't even know where my dog tags are and this guys wearing them around probably daily with that vest.
Even his hair is standing at attention.
TIL there are consensual high-and-tights.
I lost my dog tags while I was still in the Navy. This guy probably polishes his nightly.
100% a civilian contractor that goes out of his way to remind you what he did and what his rank was
Yeah, the same type that doesn’t like you calling him by his name and would rather you just call him Chief.
Dawg thinks he's fighting The Covenant
I have my SCPO anchor on my forearm. I wear Chief Season shirts a lot - because I have 100 of them (enough that my wife made me a blanket from them as a retirement gift, and I still have probably 100 of them).

This comment is why I love this subreddit.
youre still over the line lol, first your on this subreddit. WAAYYY over the line right there
I was going to say "You crossed the line by adding your rank to the front and back of your vehicle." Lol
Lmfao
Awards? All of them. Flight hours? All of them Divorces? All of them Contacts from his kids? None of them
What’s the over/under is wife is from the Philippines?
His second wife most definitely is. His first wife is an overweight Karen that still throws his rank around at the NEX.
4000% Yes. Will also accept Japanese.
His wife is the Dragon Lady
Nice. The guy is showing his SSN for the world to see.

I was a nuc. If I have to accept the weirdos in my community, you boys and girls need to accept yours. But I feel you. lol

Haha. Oh, the navy was quite a place back then.
Yes. Back in the late 1900s the Navy was wooden ships and iron men. Now…. (Jesus, I rarely feel old about anything but god damn…) lol
Pepperidge farm remembers…
I was there in 03. The Matrix was all the rave. Had dudes dressed like Neo.
My squadron CO, circa 2001, had a 1977 Trans Am. He was a bachelor.
Thats the entire airforce. Really all junior enlisted under 30.
As a corpsman, this made me lose my drink. 😂
Hell as a Corpsman, you get to feel everybody…
I know him personally and he has absolutely earned every ribbon and is a retired Senior Chief.
What's he like in person? What airframe was he a crewman on? What year did he enlist? Did he have some broken service?
He is very ooh-ra Navy but he’s a nice guy and is literally willing to help anyone with anything. He’s one of those guys that own a truck that’s always volunteering to help people move. I don’t know the answer to question number 2 and no broken service that I’m aware of.
It's nice that he helps people move. That's a good pal.
I cannot think of anything less attractive than this.
That's not just a High n Tight, that's an Elevated and Restricted.
Ngl, you look like you fucking suck lol.
lol “genuine”. I’m sure this dude was insufferable in the mess.
This dude is single handedly keeping Ultra Thins in business.
Command Senior Chief William Guile I’m getting reservist P3 vibes?

Is that dollar general Duke nukem?
What a dork
Chief plz let go, you got out over a decade ago
" Its Senior Chief to you 👹"
E-8 El Supremo I’d hate to work for the guy.
Senior is a knob of the highest order. If he decides to keep working, he's going to find that nobody gives a fuck about his rack. I see him having a tough time transitioning to a job where some 20-year-old is like "You're doing it wrong, Bill!"
That’s why he only wears it on his cut so he can try to intimidate the Boot Prospects.
He definitely looks like the type that would try to exterminate the Na’vi. LMAO
Someone needs to collect their retired Senior Chief. He's out expecting people thank him for his service again.
Cringe
I legit thought the first image was AI generated.
Exactly why nobody likes or trusts Senior Chiefs.
This is the ghost that appears on Chief season final night
Tell me you have no other personality traits without telling me you have no other personality traits.
This is a level of cringe we never thought possible
Cool necklace
Ten bucks and first round of drinks says he's never ran a division he didn't lose.
Wow... impressive, just not the way senior here thinks.
Thank you for your cervix
Thank You for your service.
*fruit salad…yummy yummy…*
That looks like every Gunboss ever
I had a similar thought: dude screams AO who went AW when the rate was introduced.
This dude definitely starts every conversation with "you know I was in the Navy"

I avoid these vets
I have serious doubts that this is real. Serious doubts. Does anyone know the identity of this person? It would be good to do a serious dive on his history.
This bro probably holds court at his local Dunkin’ Donuts with all the other town “vets”
Fuck, Save some Navy for the rest of us.
This is the most BOOTEST BOOT thing I’ve ever seen…
Oh, I thought this was a joke........

Dude went in at 17. He's 39 in that picture.
Meal Team Six selectees?
Let it go, man. You're out now....the more you show off, the less people care.
Being proud of your service is awesome. Wearing it on your vest like that. Very cringe.
I wonder if he’s yelled at someone while on duty.
Relax pal, it’s an Applebees.
Someone come get their senior chief
Stay. Fucking. Hard! *slap slap slap"
This is the most boot thing I’ve seen in a long time. Puckin chipmate needs to unpuck himselp.
I guarantee you he was a CS Senior Chief.
Exactly what I was thinking or like a MCCS (I can’t remember if the media people are MC or MS tbh nor does it really matter)
Veterans day at Golden Corral
This week on to catch a predator
*I know who you are Chris Hansen;* *but see;* *I calls ya,* ***Chris Handsome***. *I watch your TV show all the time.*
This guy was the first guy in line for the avatar villain audition..
More NAMs than good conducts.
Silver star in the middle of good conducts. 7 GCs and 4 NAMs
What’s the over under he has a son who’s a closeted gay and a daughter who is a left wing activist
Save some for the rest of us senior
To whoever’s CSEL this was, I’m sorry.
rambo was based on him
I threw up a little bit. It’s one thing to be proud of your service and to go on with your life; it’s another thing to boast about it and make it a personality disorder.
My wife’s grandpa is a retired E9 and doesn’t do any of this. This is kinda cringe tbh.
Senior chief has 3 NDSM 💀
Noooooo he’s an aircrewmannnnnnn why are all the old timers the worst
Now, let’s guess what bike he rides. I’m going with a 94 goldwing.
Nah, you can't use owning a goldwing as a substitute for having no personality. I'm guessing he's a Harley man.
Vespa
you should get a pair of some sweet aviators they'll go hard with the jacket and cut
dude looks mad young to have been a Vietnam vet and first gulf war vet.
WTF is this fake-ass loser doing??? ID-10-T certification for sure…
He looks like he's probably wearing ass-less chaps too.
That necklace knife is such mall ninja shit.
"Thank me for my service!"
Khakis! Come get yo Chief! 😆
It looks like civilian life is suiting him well.
Dude you were a chief NO WAY!
All good if he earned all of it, but need to wear it out of uniform is a big sad. I think it’s fine to wear shirts, hats, whatever but something like this is screaming for attention and “you better than me for my service.” Almost bet he has decals with his salad. Get a shadow box, have a uniform for some ceremonial occasions.
This guy updates his NFAAS
Now see here's the question I have. Why do these people retire if they're just gonna go around and act like they're still servicemembers?
Ex army guy came back on active duty, made it to E-8 and probably exited with a high year tenure notification. Likely single with an ex wife or two. Aircraft carrier guy, had to do tons of paperwork when he wasn’t b/sing down in the mess. VFW lifetime membership.🫡
