I can see (well, sort of see) some older guy with no knowledge of the equipment he's using not understanding what he's looking through, and just assuming the terrible eye box was a result of his own user error.
I'd be that guy. Honestly.

Nope. If it was the Navy wouldn’t have posted that they took it down.It was photoshopped...
Was Humiliating Navy Rifle Photo Edited?
Was the Navy's embarrassing rifle photo actually photoshopped and edited? A photo expert believes the backwards optic was added after the fact.www.outkick.com

I would have thought it was photoshopped (does the USN even issue VCOGs?), but the apology has me thinking it was an enlisted guy playing a prank and everyone had a good laugh, even the Skipper, until PR decided to post it.Or maybe "we mounted the optic wrong" is a less humiliating thing to admit than "we photoshopped the optic?"
I dunno. All this crap is why I stick to irons.
And this is why the Navy lets the Marines do the actual fighting.
Sailors are just Uber drivers for Jarheads. Once they deliver Marines, they can go back to bitching that they want longer hot showers and better desserts in the chow hall.
What an embarrassment.
Either way it's bad opticsOr maybe "we mounted the optic wrong" is a less humiliating thing to admit than "we photoshopped the optic?"

That's by choice, also.I'd be that guy. Honestly.
I suspect it's real. People in the military can be pretty clueless. I can remember 20 years ago when I completely forgot how to open a m203. It's not even complicated. Just forgot and had no clue. Same when we changed over to the new molle stuff. They just handed it to me and I hung it all on my gear wrong simply because I had no idea how to properly attach it.I would have thought it was photoshopped (does the USN even issue VCOGs?), but the apology has me thinking it was an enlisted guy playing a prank and everyone had a good laugh, even the Skipper, until PR decided to post it.
Yeah.... But we knew you hid them with the bilge queens lube. We just weren't gonna touch them once they were all sticky.All true but we have to hide the crayons.

The trick is not to take photos of stupid shit. We made sure we were squared away for photos for a lot of reasons.
