Yet another Poser...this time pretending to be a Two Star

Featured Replies

If he had just worn sloppy ABUs, a gold oak leaf and a medical badge, nobody would have paid him any mind. But no...he just had to go in service dress as a 2*

$62 worth of tax free Twinkies was probably the tip-off...

The most serious charge, entry by false pretenses to real property of the United States with the intent to commit a felony, carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both.

It would have been cheaper to move to New Hampshire.

"...carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both."

$62 worth of tax-free groceries just got a hell of a lot more expensive!

Somehow the $5 he probably saved in taxes was worth the hundreds of dollars he probably spent creating his fake credentials and purchasing the uniform.

The problem is, he still had to pay the 5% surcharge and probably had to tip the baggers. Unless he bought $62 worth of meat, it would probably still be cheaper at the grocery store.

Maybe he just gets a thrill out of tipping middle-age Asian ladies. I somehow doubt there any many opportunities to do so off-post in Southern Arizona.

Too bad there wasn't an E-9 around...what with those sleeves rolled up.

That ain't no lie...

I wonder whether anyone ever impersonates being a member of TIB?

Steve I tried that but I got tired of having to sign autographs everywhere I went.

Pretending to be a Two Star is very popular these days...

Dude is so dumb he can't even count to two...single star on those ABUs, 2-star on his "business card." :banghead:

As fat as he is, he'd need to be at least a three-star to get past the waist measurment.

Maybe he was frocked? If not, he's definitely frocked now that he's been caught. Frock YOU!

Well, in his defense he was only "recently" promoted. The seamstress probably didn't work as fast as the print shop.

Ok it took me two times to get this and all I have to say is boooooo. Great pun.

What the hell... I say we give the guy a shot! We've had so many Generals being outright imposters actually pretending to be leaders lately that this guy probably couldn't do much worse!!! "Wait... why would I want you to get a Masters degree if your job is to fly an airplane? Hey guys, why are we kicking out pilots or sending them to meaningless staff jobs when we spent millions of dollars training them and we have a pilot shortage?!?" This guy might actually fix stuff!!!

hahaha so true.

I'll never forget the time at OTS when I was an OT and saluted a 1LT going through the medical/lawyer/chaplain version of OTS... 4 of us were marching and I was carrying a guidon, I saluted and gave her the greeting of the day. I got a guidon salute back (she wasn't carrying a guidon) from her with the response "Good afternoon... sirs." :airman:

Here are my 2 favorites from OTS. We were marching to class, probably on the exact same sidewalk, and here comes this chubby major, with half his front shirt untucked. We were almost late so there is nothing to do but salute and say "Good Morning Sir!", he responds with no salute and a "Hi Guys!" Number 2 is the first day for the new batch of COT(OTS for Chaplains, Lawyers, Docs) after we'd been there 6-7 weeks. I enter the latrine and there is a new guy in there in a state of utter confusion. He has his canteen belt on upside down and is trying to get his canteen in there, being defeated by gravity each time. I helpfully point out that he has his belt on upside down, thus resolving the situation. 2 days later I see this dude in the hallway wearing LtCol rank. Hope he's better at being a surgeon than getting dressed.
