This is so weird for someone to do. Why cosplay as a soldier in the first place and then why decide to dress up as a rear admiral there’s only about 10 rear admirals active in the RN at the moment and it’s reasonable to expect anyone in the navy to know them all, even if they’re only junior. Even including retirees there’s only about 20 or so living people who could wear this uniform so he was bound to get caught out.

If you’re determined to pretend to be an officer in the navy then just go as a captain or commander or something where you could reasonably go unnoticed but even so, the veterans I know can immediately spot someone out of place.

I just fail to see what he got out of all this apart from being able to stand at the front on remembrance day parades and not even be able to march in time!

Rear Admiral Walt.
