^You're supposed to blouse your boots
The problem is they're Timberland's. He could have at least tucked the laces

Haven't laughed so hard in a while. Was never in combat and never pretended. Making it through Marine boot is good enough for this Devil.

I just feel bad for them. I want to know what is going on in their head that they think it is ok? Also why do they all shoot for the moon? "I am a ranger, SEAL, Delta, EOD, medal of honor recipient, with 4 silver stars with V device!" I just never got it.

Theres a soldier out there that was a former korean native. He just barely got his citizenship and speaks with a broken accent. Hes airborne and air assault tabbed so if you see him dont kick his butt. Hes the real deal! I used to always joke with him that one day he was gonna get jumped for being mistaken as a poser because well.... Hes very korean! That means hes extremely goofy in terms of his traditions, accent, mannerisms, etc. Hes does not look or act like a hardened soldier but he is! This dude always had me laughing and in good spirits and im glad he chose to become a us citizen and join our military! I remember when he was first caught doing some weird dance none of us heard of. Gundam style(however you spell it) anyways, our CPT found out about it and asked him to do it in the middle of one of our field missions. Good times.

The irony is all one has to do is “COPY” to the “T” any normal soldier and it would fool almost everyone.
Also, normal people don’t know the difference between super soldiers or administrative soldiers. So soldiers like me get a disproportionate amount of civilian appreciation based on the Hollywood perception. These idiots would get that positive attention they are looking for if they would just wear the minimal uniform. I was recently at a Yellow Ribbon event, and was at a club with my deployment buddies. I didn’t take a photo of it (I choose not to), but there was a USMC Lance Corporal in his blues riding a mechanical bull with two hot waitresses on it with him, with one of them wearing his fancy white cover. His uniform looked correct (other than the use of it). FWIW he did look a little worried his white cover was getting tossed around. |

[quote]I'm a police officer in Houston, while I was working an extra job for Walmart security, this knucklehead made a beeline for me trying to impress me with war stories that had holes bigger than the Fulda Gap. Said he was coming from Ft Carson and enroute to Ft Hood. Unfortunately Houston is nowhere near that route. Then changed his story to say he was in town to teach unarmed combat to police and deputies. Stated he had returned from Iraq two weeks ago where he had been shot in the chest with a .50 desert eagle but had survived with a broken sternum. When I said "so, a Colonel, that's like an, 0-3, right, dude?" He said, "yeah, man, that's exactly right." I let him keep going right up to the point he was going to leave and then I showed him my CAC card which identifies me as a Army Captain, and told him I knew he was faking and told him about the Stolen Valor act. He got all sulky and said he was wearing the uniform in honor of his brother who was killed in Afghanistan two weeks ago, and then tried to say he wears the uniform for deer hunting. He skittered off like a scared deer after I told him to beat it. I'd appreciate it if you could repost for a heads up to the Houston area.[/img] I can't tell which one is fake. The poser in the pic or the Army captain security guard who's a cop

Hey, watch that Nasty Girl ****. I got that rep just because of what I'm forced to do by my chain to get a promotion... never works
I saw it on Joes Against Hoes II who quoted it from Stolen Valors page. Reason I doubt the reserve/nasty girl part is that the original poster claims to be a captain. I just don't see a captain working as a walmart rent a cop. That whole college education plus being a cop. Don't cops make good money in Texas?

For instance, if i had a safety brief about it and was told to limit my escort escapades to one escort a night or one every week i would still have a ton of money left over. Its pretty sad when you cant afford escorts anymore and have to downgrade to fat military wives while trolling craigslist. I mean, there should atleast be a class about it or something every few months. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

So it does happen. If some one is walking around in uniform they better have a CAC on them. A quick call out can be very easy. |

Ranger Ralph Hall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZnhnoASXV4 This is a 48 minute interview video. I have not watched it all yet. I got to the part where the interviewer tried to trap him (the ranger being infantry) and asked if he had got the CAB, and he said no, he has the CIB, so he didn't fall for that one. But then he has jump wings with a Star on the top, but then there is a "second" star BELOW it at 7:22, and it looks like one of those brass stars that go on the ribbons (that annotate multiple awards for deployments, etc, not oak clusters). I have never seen that, nor even seen it in my little uniform award booklet I use to put my uniform together. Last edited by Snoopy47; 11-24-2013 at 8:47 AM.. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it unlawful to impersonate a military member? I remember some time ago reading a news article on MSN News about a guy going to his umpteenth high school reunion dressed as a Navy O-3 or something and a former class mate who retired from the Navy at a similar rank knew he was full of dog $#!@ called his bluff and he got arrested. |

All of these people at one time were able to enlist and serve, but didn't . Years later they want to walk around and enjoy the accolades and honors that our service members rightfully enjoy. These people must know they are risking their personal safety walking around playing soldier if they cross paths with some real Soldiers or Marines (especially the combat arms guys). Ughhhh |

I think that was the case where it was decided that impersonating military with medals was A-ok and a part of first amendment of the constitution

Cool! Didn't know that they changed it back. I would of thought our current administration wouldn't of cared. At what level is it considered stolen valor? Like, can a SWAT team be arrested for rolling up the street in an MRAP and piling out wearing UCP, Multicam, or Marpat?

LOL. I would suppose not, that is unless they were wearing tapes with "U.S. ARMY/NAVY/AIRFORCE/MARINES" in which case they'd be misrepresenting themselves as a service member. |

Not worthy of its own thread but it made me laugh.

I am so grateful this most recent deployment was all men and for the most part all Combat Arms (minus the S2, S4, S6, and medic) not bad, 18 guys, 8 of them being Officers, only one lower enlisted (not counting the medic who was a Corporal) of those ten Combat Arms, 11A, 11B, 11C, 13F, and 19A. We didn't have any of those problems I experienced on my last deployment, everyone was relatively competent in their jobs and mature enough to not get into shenanigans, minus the SSG and 1LT setting off 9 claymores within minutes, giving themselves TBI lol.

How much were they charging? Just curious if it was fare market value compared to incall service here at home or if it was over inflated because of the situation.
Were any of these good looking or were desert eyes involved?
