I haven't looked it up but I think it's named after his father who was an Admiral in WWII.

It least it’s a ship whose purpose is to shoot other planes.

So this moron is shooting a rifle with the optic backwards and he gets fired and replaced by a tranny?

Holy shite.

That’s an officer who is an old man in the navy, he was given that rifle from the arms room or some dumb arse officer that was fired and probably needed direct supervision. I bet he was set up. He must be hated.

That’s a Trijicon VCOG. Anyone with half a fricking brain should have known it was on backwards. When he looked through the optic it would have been obvious. His shouldering of the M4 is terrible as well. High placement of the buttock on the shoulder is textbook amateur hour.

The ship is named for all three John S. McCains, the two admirals and the Naval aviator, prisoner of war/politician. The ship was the United States Naval vessel that accidentally collided with a merchant vessel in the Pacific 7 years ago (I think near Indonesia or the Philippines). Ten crewmen were killed and the C.O. and X.O. were removed. At some point in the last couple of years, Yaste served as X.O. of the ship and became C.O. about a year ago.

LOL he got fragged. That's hilarious if true. Those sailors will be telling that story for the rest of their lives.

To be fair he probably isn’t looking through the scope, just shooting off into the water for a photo.

Still laughable though.

I am not a gun expert at all and I can tell the scope is backwards. How was the picture taken without he or the cameraman realizing the scope was on backwards?
