Bullshite!!

March him in to see the 1SG with his shit on and DD214 in hand.

Make sure you get a picture of him in uniform. It will seal his fate during the Courts-Martial. :D

1st Battalion, 102nd Infantry is an infantry outfit, part of the 26th Brigade, 29th Infantry Division (Light) (26th Brigade used to be the 26th "Yankee" Infantry Division).

POC for the battalion HHC:

290 Goffe Street
New Haven, CT 06511-3395
203-776-3100

Well its a moot point now, but there are only two authorized scrolls (shoulder sleeve insignia for wartime service) for Grenada

1st bn 75th INF and 2nd BN 75th INF.

There was no Ranger Regt in 1983.

The 75th Infantry Regt (RGR) did not get activated until 1984 and was reclassed 75th RGR REGT in 1986...... 75th Rgr Regt Scroll=NO GO.

Sorry to clog the board with RGR crap....just wanted to put another round in the magazine to put this guy down with.

Never forget
 

SFAS never forgets and getting back would be harder then what you experienced while you were there. Give me details of WHY you were dropped and maybe I can let you know if it's worth even trying again.

Easy call!
 

That's an easy call to make!

Ranger seems to be a pretty common "poser" tool. I know a guy that claims to be a Ranger. Went to Afghanistan with one of the Bat's. He was SCUBA qualified, EIB, and of course jump wings. He couldn't pass a PT test and had no RSS scroll. While on a deployment, someone called GA to find out more.

Had the same thing happen with someone I know - they called Ft Bragg to find out about someone claiming to be SF. He claimed that he was the youngest person to ever be SF (25 years ago). He claimed to also be a Ranger instructor. Later being Cadre at Q. He said he was a MFF instructor. His list of instructor courses was long. He was on NJSAR (New Jersey Search And Rescue). Usually you need to go to their school to get on a SAR team, but with all of those qualifications, they were ecstatic to have him. Come to find out he doesn't even know how to tie a figure 8. He, like so many others claimed to have a jump in to Grenada. Same guy that made the call was in the 82nd but didn't know who he was, so he asked his buddy who was in the unit that he claimed to be in and was actually in Grenada... more BS.

Have had two different Cops stop me claiming to be Marines. One claims that he had something like 890 jumps and two combat jumps. He said "we Marines don't use those Army parachutes, we use the long ones that are straight". I wanted to smack him. I asked him who with and he wouldn't give me a clear answer. I was trying not to get arrested, but I wanted to call his BS so I said "you never did a static line jump?" Another one claimed he was Force Recon and spouted out a dozen other units in a fury of words. Claimed he made GySGT in < 10 years. He was dumbfounded when I told him what I was doing. I was mantracking/signcutting at the tender age of 17 on the edge of an airport.

Being in recruiting, I have seen several people come in and say that they have more qualifications than they actually do. Expecting me to give them something special for it, if only a shocked look.

Being a poser is saying that you are ashamed of yourself. I am proud of what I have done.

That's an easy one to verify or shoot down.
There's less than 560 MFFIs and we have a list of all of them.

He threw out the "I dont have paperwork from active duty" line when i went up to him today. The instructors here at this school don't seem to care to do much about it. Tommorrow is graduation and his state CSM will be here for it. He claims he went to Honduras or Haiti with 7th group, and was also in Panama with the 2/75th.

Called my unit but the only tabbed guy there doesnt have any contacts in 7th anymore. I've considered calling SWC but don't have access to his SSN, all I have is his name.

No one EVER "forgets" what ODA they were on...EVER.

BULLSHIT FLAG HAS BEEN THROWN...

Make a formal complaint to the CO or IG.

The IG will have to look into it.

I bet his state CSM doesn't show up to see him unless he happens to be there for someone else.

TR

It's a GO for the state CSM to be there, he is comming as a guest speaker. I'm looking into the contact info for he COC at Bragg, where they are MOBing at. He should be back on Bragg by saterday.....

Any Questions?
 

TS - That was a classic response. Very succinct and clear with correct grammar and no explicit vulgarity. Just another reason that I enjoy this Forum. Nice work.

Claimed he made GySGT in < 10 years.

With the current war I am seeing more GySgts with less than ten years in.

Posers
 

As for posers, I've rarely run into anyone that claims SF, SOF, SEALs, or Ranger, but I did just last week have the opportunity to spot a fake SEAL sitting in the VA medical centers out patient pharmacy waiting on medications. Generally I find youngsters just back from OEF or OIF that have spilled their blood for this country and do not want to relive their incident that left them with an amputation, or blind, or in some cases, double amputee's. Their generally very quite, and very polite, and refer to any one that is older than them as "Sir" Very professional, and I do what I can to make their stay at the out patient pharmacy as painless as possible. I'll give them my number if it's before their number to be called, or if possible arrange for them to be wheeled to the car, the DAV bus, etc. I try to do just a little to show my appreciation for their sacrifice.

I sat across from a polite young Sergeant still in ACU's with an amputation from an VBID explotion on Route Irish, Iraq. Nice trooper, all smiles, even though he had lossed his leg. I didn't ask about the incident, its not my business, nor do I want to get him upset if he begins to talk about it. He offered up the story, but was more impressed by the young female specialist that won the Bronze star, and purple heart for her actions manning the .50 cal on the HUMVEE during some intense contact. He was more appreciative of her actions than anyone elses. Just goes to show that the women are fighting this war just as hard as the men in some places and some units. Good Juju.

As we were talking a rather poorely groomed man with a flight jacket on was grueling mad for the wait he had endure for his pain meds. On his flight jacket was a SEAL Team III patch and velcro Trident with someones names on it. I ask if he was with SEAL Team III, his reply was yes, "Got hit in Panama at Paitilla Airfield taking Noriega's lear jet out" WOW:eek: SEAL Team III didn't particpate in that raid at Paitilla, but I let it go. SEAL Team 4 had taken that assignment and I know one SEAL that was there and aided his budddy Carlos Moleda during the fire fight. I ask if he knew Carlos and this other SEAL, he said "It's a big community, cant know all of them" Fair enough, but IIRC it was a platoon of 16 men that lead that raid on the hangars...........how could he not know Carlos Moleda? or this other SEAL that was part of the 16 man platoon ? Carlos Moleda is now paralyzed from the waist down and is winning every decatholon and strong man championship for the handicapped. Any google search will show his accomplishments.

I then looked at the Trident with a name on his jacket as they called him to the window.............funny, the name they called at the window was not the name that was affixed to his flight jacket with velcro. How low:mad:
