I'm assuming that these CW5s are going to be from various MOS's? That would make one for tanks, one for motor-t, one for supply etc...
In my 14 years at LeJeune, I can't recall that many CWO5s being on the entire base...but rank structure is going to be different across the branches.
Someone probably suggested a group thing as a way to be stupid/build camaraderie across the support functions...and one of the guys came up with an equally stupid (on purpose) t-shirt to inject a little humor.
Some if those guys might be wieners, but none of them are idiots for sure.

Maybe not a sense of humor. If anything, not giving AF about being at the proper position of either parade rest or at ease though for sure... Especially if they are in some sort of support MOS that is highly technical. Dudes haven't been around a parade field for at least 15-20 years.
I mean, what do you tell an E9 or CW4/5 of a technical MOS? Trick question: The answer is nothing.
The one I met in Kunsan, Korea had no sense of humor at all.
We, (USAF) just ignored them most of the time.
One day, when getting out of our truck at the chow hall, we began passing by one and he stopped.
He asked us, "Gentlemen, do we not salute Warrant Officers anymore?"
My response: "Sorry Sir, I thought you were a Cadet." I popped a salute to him.
You should have seen the fury in his eyes.
The proper response, should have been to address him as Mister, but who was I to care. We didn't have WOs.
The next day a mass email went out from the top, that even though we were an Air Force base, that we had Army WOs stationed there and we were to show proper respect to them.
We knew exactly what prompted the email.
What a fucking douche.
Ahhhh, but have you ever really lived until you were the subject of a mass email by leadership?
I was part of the "fashion show" that turned into a drinking in the field and hazing event in '98. After that, the annual hazing briefs given 'Corps-wide had 'fashion show' listed as an example of hazing. It was my crowning achievement as an E-3, and its legacy lasted in writing up until my retirement at least.

I think it is a set-up. The instructor's shirt does not have that. I think this either a comedy bit or a punishment. "If ya'll are going to act like unicorn riding homos, then you are going to dress the part!"

I’ve seen E9s get told a thang I or two. I’ve not seen a W5 get told shit about shit. Them things is untouchable it seems
I retired as a CW4 after 23 years (4 as enlisted in the Navy). Only about 5% of CW4s get picked up for CW5. You must have 20 years as a Warrant Officer to be considered for 5 (enlisted or officer time doesn't count). Generally, you'll only see a CW5 at Brigade or higher.
Those shirts are gay as fuck

You aren't wrong. I've been a fly on the wall when a Lieutenant General got pissed off at a Brigadier General for failing to mention something that the LtGen got asked by the Commandant about. It was very much along the same lines as having an O5 battalion commander get pissed off at the O3 company commanders.
By and large though...you have to really F-up to have someone climb up your shit once you get to the E9 and CWO4+ levels. It takes some serious lackadaisical attitude or complacency.
Wasn't that the point?
We had a MEU platoon (in a Navy ARG) that had unit t-shirts made that had a spear on it, but said: "Tip of the Shaft". Wore them throughout the deployment.

Pretty solid facts for sure
I watched a two star general get told it fuck off and leave one morning(he got back on his helicopter and left). Guy that did it was calm as ever and only partially dressed at the time. Exciting times there following an interesting night
This guy looks like he definitely thinks this is a stupid idea
Hah! Honestly I meant it both ways. I've read several of your posts about your service.If legitimately posted - thanks man.
If posted out of sarcasm - thanks man.
