Trust me when I say I know the urge to wanna wear these ranks on your uniform, but as long as you know the potential consequences and can handle any flack that comes your way as a result, then wear at your own risk and have fun. Officially, I got to tell you NOT to do it. Personally, I have worn my ranks when I was still the Marine Corps. Got caught handful of times. But nothing came out of them due to my insane ability to bullshit my way out of trouble.
QUESTION: If you do get caught wearing our rank, how much trouble would you actually be in? I mean, it's not like you are impersonating another rank, as if you put on Captain bars and started hazing boots or some shit.
Please be careful if you're gonna risk your rank for a few laughs, which is why we do it, because military life can be pretty freaking dull at times, so if we made you laugh, we did our job and it's our pleasure.

I got caught wearing my M16A4 ranks one time by a CWO5 and a MSgt... I was sweating more than a whore on dollar day.
They thought they looked cool but told me to go change them asap.

Another time I was ordered to stand as a witness to a NJP hearing. A Corporal and Lance made a kid frolic to trashcan back and forth for not getting a haircut and supposedly called him slurs (Usual Grunt shit tbh). That wasn't what I was concerned about though because I was wearing my 240 Cpl ranks I make for GoonsUp in a small office where my ENTIRE senior level chain of command was in. My CO, SgtMajor and 5 others all above E8. When I tell you I was shitting bricks... And I was in there for 4 hrs standing at parade rest just waiting for someone to glance at my ranks.... Honestly stupid of me for not having a normal pair on standy to change.
