The one in the front, to the reader's right, has extra chevrons - signifying she is in a leadership position...yer she still participated. And while we're at it, look at he pants...you can hardly even see her shoes, either because they fit so bad, or more likely because she is wearing them wrong.
The two holding sabers have pants that are hopelessly wrinkled - not just in the waist, but the knees...like they were balled up and stuffed in a bag.
The 'meme' they are going for is a relaxed position, so I can't really judge their military bearing, but it doesn't look like they have much of that either.

I've seen high school marching band members who take more pride in their uniforms than these future West Point officers, supposedly the best of the best.
Our fatigues had to look better than that in boot camp. The one in the platoon with the worst looking uniform was usually referred to as Private Dufflebag.
