Military Poser at Reno Airport gets caught

Thought this might be of interest to the people here... He's pretending to be a Marine, but there is some sweet justice in it when he gets caught.

Another poser!

GySgt Ableman was keen enough to spot this {fill in the blank} walking
through the Reno Airport in full dress blues with gloves and cover on.
He
stopped him near the baggage claim and running into three Drill Instructors
wasn’t something this guy had anticipated.

If any of you know Gy Ableman, this kid was lucky to leave with all his
teeth intact. From the get go, it was obvious this kid was not a Marine.
He claimed to be a PFC (wearing LCpl chevrons) and could not explain what a
PFC chevron looked like and then couldn’t explain the NCO stripe on his
trousers. He had a collar emblem in the middle of his barracks cover and
his belt was sticking out.

No ribbons or badges, his trousers were way too long, not to mention he had
on Sketcher boots instead of dress shoes and a civilian belt. We found this
out after we demanded that he take off the blouse and cover.

Turns out he bought the uniform from a surplus store and his Dad is a
retired Navy Chief. Reno is a super-pro military area and this guy was
soaking in the atta-boys. Lot of posers out there, watch out!

Know any recruiters in the San Diego and Reno areas, send them a warning to
watch out for this XXX-XX.

WOW:eek:
Bad Karma running into 3 DI's in that getup. I woulda paid to see them rip the kid a new one. I'm sure he was shakin in his Skechers. I hope they informed his father, the retired Chief what a disgraceful POS his son is. His punishment should be a 4 year enlistment with the 03 option. Nah, he doesn't deserve to be a Rifleman in My Beloved Corps. One thing is for certain. If the kid ever grows a pair and decides to Man Up, it'll be a long 13 weeks for the PFC/LCPL with a Blood Stripe. No being the Grey Man for this stud.:D

Nope, but I would make him a 0341... His entire enlistment would be spent humping 81's all over Pendleton...91lbs of pure bliss:lifter

I have to point out the excellent usage of "Command Hand" by the Marine on the left.

Ahhhh......eat poop poser.

Poser Down!! Next!!

Unbelievable....

I laughed heartily when this story was related to me in person, but now that i'm seeing it myself I....am.....speechless.

Where do they make these kids?

The kid has a lot to learn, he should have consulted "Gunnery Sgt"Gary Lakis, gotten his uniform squared away, and had his picture taken with Gary and the CMC.:D

Even his haircut is terrible.

You'd be surprised at the bang-up jobs the barbers throw out for your final haircut in bootcamp.

Mine was a real hum-dinger...

I'm surprised no one pointed out his lack of a "firewatch ribbon" or shooting badges. Dead giveaway.

Marines, especially fresh ones, wear everything they can fit on their blues.

I knew a weapons guy in 10th who spent an evening chatting up some chick in a bar, telling her he was a cook.

Is that posing? :confused:

Heh...when people ask me what I do in the Army, I always tell 'em I'm a cook. I'll probably continue to do so if/when I get my tab.

In my case it's 'did' - but I tell them I was a Foreign Policy Implementation Specialist for the DOD - which usually stops the questioning because (1) it sounds uninterestingly bureaucratic and (2) they don't want to let on they have no idea what that is. ;)

Richard's $.02 :munchin

Whatever works.:D

I would tell people I was in the base band... Then I got called out on it by a chick who's father was the conductor. Guess I should have had better backstopping:D
