What is the story with the OM Marine?

I was seated in the end zone last year during the Egg Bowl...
And that same guy in full uniform was acting like that on the field. He was actually a little crazy looking, as well as the fully uniformed highway patrolman that was chest bumping him. Both are no more than dickheads in my opinion. Acting like that in uniform at a football game (believe me it was overboard) was very much gay and unbecoming of the uniform they were wearing.
since the Texas game last year I believe he oversteps his boundaries as a military "professional". I believe he is affiliated with the schools ROTC program. I sure wouldn't give a damn if he started barking **** at me. I'm a civilian and don't have to listen to **** he says. He seems to have forgot that part. But a school who would open the gates and let students storm the field while an opposing team hasn't left the field will let anyone do anything I guess.
The reaction among military folk was mixed--for example, see the comments here: http://blogs.militarytimes.com/battle-rattle/2012/09/25/the-gunny-behind-the-gif/
I thought it was poor bearing and professionalism myself. But, I am sort of biased.

So they're the Rebels, have a bear and now a marine mascot on the field, have a landshark hand formation and foam headware, and yell hotty toddy. I have to admit, I miss old school ole miss.
He shouldn't be acting like that while in uniform. I'm very surprised that the marines haven't reprimanded him. They have a stick up their *** about everything. If he is with ROTC, he is some sort of recruiter more than likely. Maybe they let him do it for exposure, although the marines usually don't want that type of exposure. As an army guy, I've stayed on marine bases before, and they **** bricks for way less than what he does.
My dad is a former Marine. He once got thrown out of a CP bunker during a VC rocket attack because he and his buddy, after drinking a few dozen beers, thought the pins and arrows on the CP map were ******** and tried to add their opinion to where the enemy was.
I'd like to see someone score in his face and taunt the **** out of him.
Seems like the type that would throw a punch pretty quickly. It'd be the last anybody ever saw of him.
