Neither are very hard to spoof!
In time the Marine will tweak to it having happened and give their standard response....."Oh, Yeah!".

Here we go...
I hope that every FJ pilot in the world will use any opportunity to drew a willy on the sky, in support of this navy pilot, whom by all standards live up to the fighter pilot spirit. Be it a drawing like his in the cons or on FR24. All this political correctness must stop. We kill people for a living, get to see the worst kind of destruction and human suffering that one can imagine on a day to day basis during operations, spend a lot of time away from our loved ones and so on, but it's not accepted for us to let out some steam the way fighter pilots have done it in the last 100 years. WTF!
Pilot humor is, and always have been the way ahead. Please guys keep it up (So to speak). Do not let all the crap destroy the joy and camaraderie of it.
I say JOB WELL DONE to this pilot.
Lets se some more fun pictures like the one SASless posted. I'l start:

Very difficult for a MetMan to compete, but imagine, imagine ......
a deep low at 50N 30W, a ridge going up up up the meridian S to N, and a deep low at 50N 30E.
That is what I call a planetary set of tackle, and it could stay erect for a day or two.

Yes, it's juvenile, but pretty tough (I was going to say "hard" but thought better of it) to actually get the shaping right.
Does it really matter?
We have a RAF pilot who flies low over the village for his Mum's birthday - great, if we knew the time in advance, but we can't be told, but when it happens, no one complains, it's a bit of fun and no harm done.
If the powers that be lose all sense of proportion and clamp down, the world is a sadder place.
i'm not advocating stupid stunts, but a little tolerance for high spirits.

On the other hand, if you belonged to a military branch that was desperately trying to recover its reputation (and relevance) following multiple breaches of trust involving institutionalized misogyny, widespread corruption with Asian contractors, breakdowns in basic seamanship and training leading to fatal collisions, you might - you just might - think twice before making literally a dick move such this. High spirits is only an excuse when your organizational professionalism is beyond reproach,
Really?

Let's face it, whichever Air Force you're in, there's always a few dicks in high up places.

Alert 5 » EA-18G crew that made penis skydrawing given administrative punishment - Military Aviation News
The naval aviator and naval flight officer from VAQ-130 that drew the shape of a penis in the sky have been given administrative punishment by Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker during a Nov. 22 hearing before a Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Board.
Shoemaker, commander of Naval Air Forces, ruled that both men were “impulsive and immature” but both were “forthright and remorseful” when confronted.
As part of their punishment both men must present a series of “Change the Culture” briefs to fellow crews and students. They were given six months probation and could lose their wings for “any transgression on land or in the sky that showed a ‘similar lapse of judgment’ or violated the Navy’s core values.”

Looks like they kept their wings this time but they will probably have to leave the Navy after the perp walk and shaming 'presentation' tour. At least the airlines are hiring...
Navy aviators disciplined over air phallus after Coronado hearing - The San Diego Union-Tribune
Navy aviators disciplined over air phallus after Coronado hearing
by Carl Prine
The Navy’s “Air Boss,” Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, has disciplined two aviators involved in a Nov. 15 incident of phallic skywriting in Washington.
The unnamed male pilot and his backseat aviator from the “Zappers” of Electronic Attack Squadron 130 at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, received administrative punishment on Nov. 22 following a Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Board hearing on North Island before Shoemaker.
Pronounced “fee-nab” in the Navy, the administrative panel is designed to evaluate the performance, motivation and future potential for uniformed aviators. That it occurred on North Island, headquarters of Naval Air Forces, signaled the importance the military assigned to addressing the stunt. Typically, these hearings are convened at the squadron or wing levels and can end the career of Naval aviators.
“When they came down, the aviators were apologetic,” said Navy spokesman Cmdr. Ron Flanders. “The aviators admitted that they had done it after it occurred. When they appeared before the (Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Board) they were contrite. They realized that this was an embarrassment to Naval Aviation and the entire Navy. This sort of conduct is contrary to the core values of the Navy.”
Flanders said that the Navy is barred by federal privacy laws from identifying the aviators or detailing their punishment but the results of the board were obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune. Details were circulated earlier in an email to Navy leaders sent out by Rear Adm. Roy “Trigger” Kelley, the commander of Virginia-based Naval Air Force Atlantic.
Shoemaker determined that the aviators’ actions were “impulsive and immature” but both were “forthright and remorseful.” Although they risked losing their coveted wing insignia, the endorsing authorities urged the Navy to retain them as aviators and place them into a “probationary” status in case they slip up again.
Shoemaker concurred with the recommendations but specified the probationary period would last six months and any transgression on land or in the sky that showed a “similar lapse of judgment” or violated the Navy’s core values would lead to a loss of the insignia.
A career aviator, Shoemaker ordered them to address their fellow crews on Whidbey Island in a series of “Change the Culture” briefs describing the “ramifications and the embarrassment it caused” while “contrasting their actions with the excellence and discipline” of other sailors worldwide. He also wanted them to explore the potential “strategic effects” their conduct might have.
The pilot, who has pending instructor orders to the training squadron at Naval Air Station Meridian in Mississippi, will conduct a similar presentation to both fellow instructors and students.
The Navy has only indicated that the pilot of the two-seater EA-18G Growler is a male lieutenant and that he used the contrails of the jet to sketch a phallus in the air during a routine training exercise, a floating image that became an internet sensation when it was photographed and shared on social media platforms.
The Navy has not released the rank or gender of the backseat flight officer tasked with suppressing enemy radar and communications.
Both aviators continue to face a separate inquiry from their Virginia-based Carrier Air Wing 3. Called a “JAGMAN” investigation, it’s an administrative probe that analyzes all available information about a relatively minor incident. Its findings of facts, opinions and recommendations often help improve a command’s leadership, promulgate lessons for the rest of the fleet to avoid similar incidents and aid superiors making determinations about the future flight status of an aviator.
The investigators also can indicate whether they believe violations of military law have occurred, potentially triggering criminal proceedings.
The Navy has not indicated when the JAGMAN will be finished but says the officers have not been arrested and charged with a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

With the current shortage of fast jet pilots in the US, I suspect that they will almost certainly keep their jobs.. should they wish to remain in the service.
Bottom line, the USN needs to get a sense of humour!
