Under the right circumstances that is the sort of thing that can get you court marshaled. Military personnel would never do something like that lightly. Hmmm.

Does the VP hold military position? I thought only the Pres had a military position automatically?

Enough people that there was time and opportunity for a photo op.

First, It's a Naval installation. No other service would have the Secretary of the Navy in the 3rd position.

Second, that second slot should be SECDEF, not VP. It's the military Chain of Command.

It's not always set up like that. I remember some regulation change a while back where it went Obama - Biden - Panetta, but that's very unusual and a jerkoff move.

It may be Esper under there and, moving at the speed of Government, they haven't gotten Christopher Miller's official portrait yet.

yeah i might buy new ones with just trump, but prolly not. my purpose for trump stickers was to let others in my blue area know that you are not alone. trump doesnt have a use for us anymore after DC, it is all in his court (or the military's), as far as i understand.

Former Squid here. Navy Commands generally do not post vice prez pic. This is most likely SECDEF pic turned around. It can take months to get current pictures out to to low echelon commands. Until they get it, pictures are either removed or turned around. I know this for a fact since I was on watch (OOD) the day DJT was inaugurated, Master Chief went around to all the main spaces to make sure Obummer's picture was turned around. We left it blank until DJT pics arrived.

Most Federal buildings, it took them half a second to put up a portrait of Barry, and two or three years to put up a portrait of President Trump?

Lol you guys are overthinking this. When Obama was still president I put the meme picture of Trump in the Russian uniform behind Obama's photo, and I was thrilled to toss that smug photo in the trash. The meme photo was was on display for days after he took office, until somebody printed the actual one...

Regardless I appreciate cover sheet :)

This is a USMC base (red border on second row), and that's the SECDEF spot, not VP.
