Stolen valor

[11Bravo]

So you resort to lying again, huh?
Figures. Is that also a trait of 11 Bang Bangs?



Call your Branch and see if you can get a new assignment with school en-route.

Being a trained interrogator this past year, it's so easy to spot the liar, and a poser.

There you go showing why that "dumb" infantry meme has traction.
You clearly do not know what you are talking about and clearly were not trained properly, as you are now lying as you did before.
I have already posted my redacted MIL ID on this board as well as my redacted VA ID "Service Connected".

 

[11Bravo]

Well that maybe because of that thing you did in 3rd grade with your friend that y'all promised not to tell anyone but he did.

Ah, the secret pact came back to haunt me

Haha yes we know, you downloaded a picture of a CAC card on google and posted it.

How about you PM me and we can verify each other's AKO if you're Army. It's how we're verified on the GoArmy website. The only official way to do it. Also, I can see you're super secret list of schools you allegedly have gone through, and you can see mine.

Quit acting like some school girl and sack up. Oh let me guess, you're a "marine"?

Wrong. All you are doing is lying. I would suggest you stop.
What I posted was not available on the web anywhere. And it is still unlikely it is anywhere else except as an archived address, as the image host is set to private.
Which means I can also do anther scan of the card and edit/redact it differently confirming the card is in my hands. Better yet, I could post the newer version of my VA card redacted along side the others. But do read on.

Super secret? Hilarious.
I do not care how you do it, as I will not be jumping through hoops for you. I would also suggest you stop asking for me to reveal personal information.
You can either except what has already been provided on this forum or beat feet.
If you want to find what I previously revealed, you search through all my posts and find it on your own. It is there. And you are not going to find it anywhere else on the web accept as an archived post leading to here. So you can stop with the bs that it was a found image, it wasn't.
If that isn't good enough for you, too bad.

To the underlined - Thus showing you haven't paid a lick of attention to anything which has been said.

In reference to this thread, wanting to demean others who obviously have something wrong with them. That is what those with the mentality of a school girl do.


Now follow the advice I already gave you in regards to contacting your "Branch" and see if they can get you a reassignment with a school possibly in-route.
Or didn't you know that is how you participate in managing your career?

You can keep lying all you want, doesn't change the facts.

Like I said, I am not going to jump through hoops for you.

If you want it, you jump through the hoops and find it.


And btw, you do not speak for everybody. Funny that you think you do.
It is like you are purposely going out of your way to confirm the "dumb" infantry meme with that logic.

I know a soldier I deployed with albeit very briefly who is a stolen valor guy.

We were in afghanistan maybe three weeks, this guy whined non stop about being in an undeveloped camp, and kept talking about ways to get out. He finally decided, and he locked and loaded and pointed his rifle at me in the smoke pit, me and two other soldiers tackled the crap out of him.

He was reported for it and nothing was done, he later did the same thing to the platoon sergeant, and the co was like fine he is a whackadoodle i'll do the paperwork. He later admitted he had no intention of shooting anyone, he simply thought getting chaptered for going crazy was the quickest way out.

Well after his discharge he went back to cali, but after waiting a year in texas. He tells his family about his cib, combat patch, all his awards etc. Problem is he had none of them, and people still call him out on facebook for it, because we flatout knew he was not there long enough to even earn a combat patch, let alone any awards, and he came fresh out of ait 3 months before we deployed.

A guy I knew during my last deployment was like that, and still is.

He got kicked to us from Brigade where he was a Corporal. The SGM found out he was not authorized the combat patch he had, nor the Air Assault and CIB he was wearing. So reduced to Specialist and sent to the first unit deploying.

Well, he shows up still wearing Corporal, and his unauthorized badges. Took the First Sregeant about 3 weeks to figure it out, reduced him to PFC and he deployed.

He was my roomie the first 6 months there. Never went to PT, still wore the combat patch (no badges since those were unauthorized while deployed). It was in our room that the Platoon Sergeant came in and demanded to know why he was not at PT. He claimed he had knee injuries and had orthroscopic surgery 3 months prior. So the SGT demanded to see the scar. "But I do not have to show you that, I only have to show it to authorized medical personnel!" the dirtbag said. Final straw was when the CSM of the 18th Airborne Brigade came to our TOC, and PV2 Dirtbag had to give him a brief. He saw the combat patch, asked him a few questions then went off. Do not wear an 18th Brigade patch if you know you are faking it, yet have to brief the 18th Brigade Sergeant Major.

Well, he had been with us such a short time prior to deployment, he never realized the Sergeant was also our chief medic. I beat a hasty retreat from the room at that point, but even 30 meters away in the smoke pit we could hear him screaming. Finally he was late to work to many times and sent back to the Rear D. When he got back he once again tried to weasel out of PT. He took a profile that expired a month prior and changed it with photoshop. To bad they checked and saw his original expiration date was 2 weeks prior. Booted out after 3 years as an E-1.

Fast forward to last November. Arseclown actually puts on his facebook a picture of himself in uniform. Saying it was taken the week prior (I know it was before we deployed). And he had photoshopped it to show he was a Staff Sergeant. And all his friends saying how happy they were for him on his promotion. I just shook my head, the guy has been home for years now, and is a car salesman.

Here's what I of your keyboard warrior approach:

I actually treated him as I do all trolls several days ago.

I see no reason to behave in such a manner, and can not believe that they ever served. But giving the benefit of the doubt, even a Vet acting in such a trollish manner is of no interest to me. If all somebody can add to a conversation is attack after attack, I have no interest in reading what they have to say.

Yea, I am a simple grunt in many ways. But that is no excuse to acting like a complete asshat. And even as a grunt, while I may have joked about "pogues", they all knew I appreciated what they did and it was all in fun. And at times I had even defended them against the young "hard chargers", reminding them that without that "pogue", they would not get paid, or the promotion they were waiting on, or get absolutely crap food, or have to go in 4 times a year for shots because their records were not updated.

People in my platoon often wondered why when they went to supply they got the old worn out crap, but I often got the newest they had. Simple, I treated them like fellow Marines and every time I brought a new Private over for equipment I demanded they treat them with respect. I do believe the saying "Every Marine is a riflemen, but not every Marine is THE Rifleman". But I still treat them (and all others in the service) with respect for having joined in the first place. No matter what their job is.

And to me, anybody that takes the rivalry beyond jokes is a complete and utter turd. And has absolutely nothing worth saying that I want to listen to.

 

[RetiredNSmilin]

Hopefully they were giving him hell and not partying. I deal with a lot of vets daily and was the commander of a large American Legion before I got transferred down here. Wannabes usually pretend to be Marines or some sort of special forces. I don't think any of them made it past the first couple of questions and the BS sessions we vets always go into. If you were never in the service you don't pay enough attention to detail to understand your **** is all ****ed up. It bothers me too.

I have noticed that too. They always pretend to be the "trained killer" types, rather than mechanics, disbursing clerks, aircraft refuelers, ect..

Having no understanding we respect ALL those that were there and served, even if it was the guy who made PBJ sandwiches in the galley.

I knew an Air Force Vietnam vet who told me he fought the war with a tool box fixing C-130s.

When once they tried to train him in hand-to-hand combat against Charlie, he said Charlie would kill him inside of 2 seconds if it came to him trying to learn that crap. Instead he opted for a .45 and eight (8) boxes of ammo to practice with.

Knowing your limitations is a strength.

"Midrats" is a delightfully Navy custom, that I wish every branch would follow.

More than once in the Marines and Army I would be pulling 24-48 hour duty, and get hungry at 3am. And have nothing to do about it until the chow hall opened several hours later. Yet be reminded that when I was aboard ship, I could go the the galley and get something no matter what time it was.

"We are closed Corporal, but go ahead and grab a cup of coffee and a sandwich."

And having done my share of mess duty and knowing the hours they keep, I was never one to put down the cooks. Getting up at 0400 to start their day, and getting off at 2000 after everybody had been off for hours, was a job I never wanted. That literally is one of the hardest jobs in the mlilitary, and one I knew enough to refuse when they offered it to me in 2007.

I was never a member of an army of any sort, including the Salvation Army.

But I do remember reading an article a short time ago. I read it all completely because I have always viewed military medals as being something like a MacDonald's Treat Of The Week, which our kids strive for. Or much in the same way that I view tattoos being like scars rather than artwork.

Well, there are medals, then there are medals.

There are some that pretty much anybody can expect to earn during a term of service. Good Conduct Medal, and at this time the National Defense Service Medal. And a few others like the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Then there are others. The GWOT Expeditionary Medal everybody wins who deployed to a combat zone.

Then you move up, things like the Army Achievement Medal (and like), which are given for specific things done that are service related. I have 4 or 5 of those myself, because I perform above the standard, but nothing really exceptional. Then you have the higher ones, like the Army Achievement Medal (and others), up to the Bronze Star.

But then you move up into a completely different level of awards. All of thos eincluding and below the Bronze Star are generally "administrative". You did your job to an exceptional level, so deserve recognition. But once you move into those that are only combat related (or get a "Combat "V"), you are in a very different level of award.

Take 2 people, each has a Bronze Star. But one got it for commanding a Forawrd Mess Kit Depot with a 100% rating in their inspections and the other has it with a "Combat V" (valor) for leading a squad in combat operations, and nobody will confuse the two.

Army Cross, Navy Cross, Congressional, even an Army Commendation Medal with Combat V (yes, I have seen one) mean a lot more than any of the peacetime awards do. You can literally do nothing your entire 4 years but show up on time and do nothing wrong, and you are guaranteed at least 1 medal (3 when I first joined, 2 now). But there is a reason most of those are looked down upon. Heck, in the Army you get your first ribbon for passing boot camp!

But those of us in the service do not confuse those at all. Whenever we look at each other in our dress uniforms, one of the first things we look at is awards. And somebody with 3 Good Conduct medals (in the Marines we called them "Good Cookie"), ASR, 5 AAMs, 2 ARCOMs and the GWOT service who is a Sergeant First Class will be looked on much differently than s Sergeeant with only 1 GCM, 3 ARCOMs, but a Bronze Star with "V".

I think stolen valor of any kind ( military, LEO, fire service, gov contractor, etc...) is a sad crime of the insecure and weak. I feel sorry for those that embark upon the practice for reasons of seeking attention they didn't get elsewhere. BTW, I find it slightly ironic that you are commenting here, just observation. My opinions are of course open to "debate" too!

Folks who pretend to have signed the dotted line are pathetic. Especially on anonymous internet forums. That's why I like the Goarmy forums. To call yourself a soldier, you must enter your AKO account info so they know you're legit. Of course, it's only for those currently in. Prior service cannot verify credentials.
