Mark Laarveld; phony Ranger

| August 1, 2013

Mark Laarveld

Mary sent us this guy who she says is like the Energizer bunny. When he thinks that the heat is off, he pops back up again. So he needs an internet style beat down. His name is Mark Jerome Laarveld and he claims that he was a Ranger from 1986 to 1994, in reality, he was a cannoncocker in Baumholder. Scotty has more details. But here are the basics; he did three years in Germany and was released from active duty as an E-2;

That little career makes him eligible to be a Ranger in his tiny little mind;

And, oh, yeah, he calls himself “Combat Survivor” on his Facebook page, ya know even though there wasn’t any combat during his active service. And he thinks he’s Brian Urlacher, too;

Yeah, he’s somewhere in Illinois, so walk right up and introduce yourself.

What’s really fun is to put a pint or two of water into a paint thinner can, heating it to boiling, screw the cap on real tight and watched it cave in, and THEN put it into a washtub full of ice.

ZING! POP! CRUMPLE!!!!

And then heat it back up with the cap loosely screwed on.

@13 As a civilian who’s never served, I’d say we should care more, because we are the ones who are the targets of these scumbags scams in terms of money and crimes. These phonies prey upon our generosity, our sympathy and, of course, our lack of knowledge. Thanks to TAH and other sites like it, I’ve learned a great deal. But honestly, I still have zero clue, other than to be wary of claims and verify first.
But I’ve learned of the many exploits of TAH posters, fighting in secret squirrel missions in Paprika and fending off enemies as Space Shuttle Gunners (heheh).
Thanks for the laughs and your service.

@11, unfortunately if you read what some of his friends comment and say about him, they are as stupid as he is. Swear it is like Charles Manson and his followers. They will follow him straight to Hell if he asked. They are like his life blood. If they were not there he would disappear.

He’s now changed his moniker to Mark Military Vet and has taken down the Ranger photos. Started a facebook page called Military Active and Vets. I sent most of the members of the page his TAH link. What an ass clown,

Miller

@54 I’m sure the only way to get to this POS is to get to these idiots on his friends list. Unfortunately this idiot has a number of troll accounts out there too, more than likely to keep an eye on people to see what they say about him. Likes to flash pictures of his weapons on his page when he gets going too. As for him changing his name, you can run but you can’t hide idiot.

Miller

The little poser is feeling the heat a little bit more today. Whining to his friends that he wants 100 likes on his page for his military service. Says there is someone spreading messages to his friends saying that his military service is fake. All this little asswipe has to do if come clean with with what we all know is his military record and admit everything else is a fricking lie. What a piece of shit. Hope he feels the heat all the way to HELL.

He was stationed at Baumholder, FRG. While Baumholder is rather steep, it in no way, shape or form can take the place of Mt. Yonah. Ranger Tab…DENIED!!!!!

@PH2–I think it was called the U-505? If so, yeah. I’ve also been to the USS Bowfin, which is near the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.

Gives me an incredible appreciation that although I might have (briefly) hot-racked as a non-qual, it wasn’t jack compared to sticking 70-75 guys on one of those pig boats.

Miller

Only a true idiot like him would keep showing off that license plate promoting he is a combat veteran when he never served a day of combat in his no good life.

SFC Rowe

I found him on Facebook. He is still up to his same old antics. This is what I sent him:

—————————————————–

Why do shit bags like you feel the need to take other people’s pictures and post them as if they are your own? You were an E2, cannon jockey in Germany so why the fuck are you posting a bunch of pics of guys in combat zones and making everyone think they are you? I’m especially pissed about the one of the SF Operator with the Military Working Dog because I personally know that guy. Him and his MWD died in August of 2011 when the Chinook he was on got shot down in the Tangi Valley. I was there you retarded piece of shit so I would appreciate you removing it immediately. And whoever that guy is in your profile picture probably wouldn’t want you using his picture either. I’m absolutely positive you were never issued an M4 with a 203 attachment and told to dress in DCU’s while you were stationed in Germany during your short 3 years in the military. Fuckin Asshole.

—————————————————–

Awaiting his response.

Miller

It seems it worked, the pictures are down again. Seems this jerk needs some serious babysitting everyday to teach him the lesson he deserves.

@60. Nice work there, Rowe.

Miller

This shithead is a damn pathetic to think a half hearted apology like “I know I have made some mistakes and I’m sorry” doesn’t hold an ounce of anything with me. All it is doing is getting his cronies feeling sorry for his lame ass. Listen fuckhead, if you are going to apologize, lay it all out there for everyone see what it is you did and lied about. And apologize from there. Trying to skirt around it with that half assed apology shows what a true piece of shit you are. A true man with guts would own up to his shit and move on from there. It is no wonder your ugly ass only made it 3 years and an E-2. You are not man enough to all this and you were not Man enough to be in the Army. Do us all a favor take all those other military pics off your page, it is sickening to see them on your page thinking that your pussy ass was even in the military. Go to Hell bastard.

Tamara Olson

Please read my post.

Miller

Oh joy, this asshole has changed his Facebook name once again . Trying to keep one step ahead apparently. Guess it’s time to turn up the heat again before the pictures start showing up.

Miller

And so the fake military pics start showing up again. He has blocked me but I hope some of his friends are reading this and my page. Mark take them all down. If you have one of you firing a cannon put it up, but the rest of this fake crap needs to come down and stay down. Just give it up.

Green Thumb

This is the kind of guy that tongues two-holes for spare change.

Miller

He will do anything for spare change, including taking advantage of people. Just remember Mark, what goes around comes around. Slimeball.

It’s going to be ending of mine day, except before finish
I am reading this impressive article to improve my know-how.

He goes by Mark UsArmy Vet now, changed two weeks ago from Mark Proud Vet. I was his friend for nine months. He has claimed that he was a single guy, just last week post a story about how he was married with two twin daughters. That he had a online affair with a married woman Sandra Morgana. He said his wife and daughters found out and moved out on Halloween. He was coming clean now. He wants his family back. So I start checking up on him and questioning him, I guess he doesn’t like being pushed up against a wall. He had on of his followers send me a message with a link that was a very nasty virus. Virus was sent by Usmc Fubar who acted like he really didn’t like him. Usmc Fubar claims to be a Marine. If he is a Marine, he has no honor. So if you run across this guy stay clear of him and his friends. Plus he also has accounts posting as women, who flirts with himself. How sad it that.

Miller

Not his friend for a long time, he is still full of it. His wife and daughters have been gone for well over 2 years.
