He is definitely a 1LT here. Also, this photo was prior to going to combat, s he is wearing an EIB (Expert Infantry Badge) instead of the CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). He would definitely have that as his lapel insignia is infantry as is the blue cord.
LT not captain as much as I can see on his boards. And no one poses with hands in pockets in uniform. [Maybe he got promoted after this photo?]
