Richard Hanlon; phony Green Beret

| September 27, 2017

Our partners at Guardians of the Green Beret send us their work on this fellow Richard “Rich” Hanlon. Rich claims to be Ranger and Special Forces qualified;

The folks at Guardians of Green Beret struck up a conversation with him on social media;

Rich replied he was 1st Group Ft Lewis and 1SOG Cape Canaveral, late 70’s early 80’s. We’re not even sure what the heck he means when he says 1SOG Cape Canaveral as there’s no such unit. He then goes on to volunteer he went through Class 5 Ranger School, Benning, Steward, Tallahassee FL 1976 or 77. Winter class, honor grad. Rich goes on to add that he was 1st Group Ft Lewis and 1SOG Cape Canaveral, late 70’s early 80’s. MOS 11B2V… 1st 323, SF was 18

So lets look at these statements:

1st SFG(A) claims at Ft Lewis Late 70’s to early 80’s

Of all the years Rich Hanlon, Fake Green Beret could pick, those are probably the worst. 1st Grp was Group inactivated 28 June 1974 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and reactivated 4 September 1984 at Fort Lewis, Washington. Late 70’s is after 74 and Early 80’s is before 84. He should have done some more research in his lie.

Class 5 Ranger School, Benning, Steward, Tallahassee FL 1976 or 77

Ranger Class 5-76 or 5-77 doesn’t fall in “Winter” class time. Steward is spelled Stewart. Ranger School has nothing in Tallahassee. He should have said 6th RTB @ Eglin.

Also, almost all Rangers remember their class number. They instill it into their memory banks. For him to not even remember the year? LOL

11B2V, 1st 323, and SF was 18

V would mean he had a Ranger Tab. That’s a false statement. Confirmed by both RTB and his FOIA results. 1st SFG(A) wasn’t even in existence in the years he claims. “If” his claiming 18 as an MOS, he should have add 18C. Had he actually been an 18C, he’d have known that.

So, he didn’t research his lies very well;

We do see an 18 series on his 2-1 however, this is only a slot he filled. Nothing in his records backs up his ability to claim being a Green Beret. We see zero time in his records as having attend, much less graduating the Special Forces Qualification Course. His records also confirm beyond doubt he has no right to claim to have earned the Ranger Tab.

Assigned to a Ranger unit, yes. Ability to wear the Ranger Tab, no.

Assigned to a Special Forces unit, yes. Ability to claim being a Green Beret, No

He can reliably claim to be a flaming homo wearing that outfit

Mick

Yup.

After seeing that snazzy ensemble, one can only assume that there must also be a motorcycle, a leather vest covered in poser bling, a tiger stripe camouflage doo-rag, some phony SF tattoos, and a service dog involved in all of this out there somewhere.

There’s no way that it could be otherwise.

It’s just a sample of his signature Freddy Mercury wardrobe collection

Village People:

“…he wants to be,

A Macho Man,,,,,”

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

You guys are so dumb!

1SOG Cape Canaveral is the FIRST SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP located at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Yes, that Cape Canaveral … NASA! Home of Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle missions in Florida.

They specialized in sub and full orbital BLACK OPS.

GOGGLE IT!

Frankie Cee

That is correct MCPO NYC USN Ret., and as we who are “up on things Ranger/Special Forces”, we know that he must have filled either a Space Shuttle Door Gunner slot, or was one of those who rode “Outside Protection” on the launches. This dude is so high speed, that he could help lift the shuttle into orbit. Honor Grad is one hell of a claim. God, we need more of these heroes.

Old Trooper

Hey!!!! Don’t be giving him any cred for my beloved Space Shuttle Door Gunner MOS!!!! He ain’t that high speed! Plus, I don’t ever remember him out with us plank owners!

Ex-PH2

Unless he has the Space Shuttle Doorgunner School certificate, he can’t even claim that. It is given out sparingly, to only a few very speshul solles.

And your REAL name is never, ever put on it, because it is soooo Seekrit Squirrelly that no one will admit you were there.

Hack Stone

I’ve seen one of those certificates. They are so highly classified that they are presented as completely blank sheets of white paper, and are secreted into a 500 ream of 8 1/2″ X 12″ paper. I have one framed and mounted on my I Love Me Wall. I did not earn it, but it is to honor the accomplishments of true American hero, Daniel Bernath.

Old Trooper

Dammit!! You know you’re not supposed to divulge that info!!!!

A Proud Infidel®™

THAT SNIVELING LITTLE WINO-BLOWING SHIT named Richard Hanlon IS NOT an Apollo Mission Door Gunner like ME so PISS ON HIM, I bet he couldn’t even clean the dust off of the M666 Plasma Burst Gun that I manned!!!

Old Trooper

WTF!!!! Did y’all just wake up this morning and say “I think I’ll divulge all sorts of classified info today”?????

Ex-PH2

Yeah, but API, you haven’t done E-QUALS on the newest model of the S&P500 Mk I Mod VII(a) Rattershatter yet. You’d better hustle on that one, because time is running out for you.

Old Trooper

Good call! space is limited to get that qual, so get yer paperwork in quick!

ChipNASA

His Facebook page has MANY posts *WIDE* open, like his asshole is about to get.

You know the “DRILL”….

He serves and now has SHIT *ALL* over that.

Dumb fuck.

Frankie Cee

I left this for Richard Hanlon:
” Hanlon, are you pussy enough to block me? You are not, never was, a Ranger. No Ranger is unsure of when he went to school. Class 5 of any Ranger year is not a winter class. There is no Ranger activities in Tallahassee Florida, or within 150 miles of there. I have access to ALL Ranger class student rosters and you are not on any of them. Shitbag! Why in the fuck do you feel a need to stand in the blood of better men than you, making phony claims? You want to be famous? You’ve got it. Goooooogle will have your name up in lights. You have shit all over yourself, and I doubt that you will be able to unfuck yourself now. Check this lin, read the comments, and check back often:
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=74987

Frankie Cee

Yep, Richard Hanlon is that much of a pussy. When he couldn’t unfuck himself, he chose the coward’s way and blocked me. Hit him while he is fresh.

1610desig

It’s just temporary…he doesn’t want to be distracted while he’s having his custom ass-less chaps and leather tutu fitted

Frankie Cee

And, he does love to iron clothes. His mother taught him how. It’s soothing, he says.

RGR 4-78

So, now he’s claiming to be iron man. 😉

Frankie Cee

“I’ve entertained you 2 long enough”?
The poser’s way of saying that I just can’t unfuck myself from this mess that I have created of myself. Have a bad day, bitch. Now get back to finishing your ironing.

RGR 4-78

🙂

1610desig

Nicely played…but we know he’s more of an ironing board for TAH enthusiasts!

Frankie Cee

Rich Hanlon, phony, not a Ranger, not Special Forces has either blocked me or closed his page. If someone else checks and finds it still active, you could tell him, for me, that I figured him to be such a pussy that he would block me rather than try to unfuck himself. Shitbag!

Martinjmpr

So he went the jump school after AIT and was assigned to the B co 2/75 Rangers at Lewis… where he only stayed for less than a year?

Odd. Would they have had RIP back then? Jonn, you were in 1/75 just a few years before this, weren’t you?

If he stayed in for ~10 months 761115 – 770930) then he must have completed RIP (if they had RIP back then.) But he did something to get him bounced out to leg-land that wasn’t severe enough to cost him a stripe.

Might have been just lack of motivation or PT failure (failure to perform to the higher Ranger standards, that is.) Or he could have been a slob or a shitbag in the Regiment.

From what I’ve heard about the Ranger regiment, they have a low tolerance for bullshit, especially from a private. Don’t want to be here? Bye bye, pack your shit and move down the road to leg-land.

RGR 4-78

There was no RIP (now RASP) when he arrived.

The 1st or 2nd RIP class was on going when I double timed across the quad on my way to Pre-Ranger, January 1978.

Frankie Cee

RGR 4-78 he just told me in a comment that he did Mountain at Ft. Stewart. Imagine that.

IDC SARC

“He knows what he did.” loser

IDC SARC

He was recruited into SF by no less than a General. lolz

RGR 4-78

I wonder WTF happened to his re-enlistment NCO?

IDC SARC

According to Rich RTB, SWCS(A)and the NPRC databases are all wrong about him. 🙂

..figure the odds

RGR 4-78

Frankie, this one is dumber than a box of rocks with his “mis-remembering”.

Frankie Cee

He just commented, on his facebook page:
Rich Hanlon I was the first recruitment wave that took B Company Rangers to battalion size operation in late 1975.

RGR 4-78

He could well have been in some of the first junior enlisted to get to 2nd Batt.

I will send this to some of the Rangers I served with that would have arrived about the same time and see if they remember him.

RGR 4-78

It is a unique skill to be able to terrain associate ridge lines in Florida.

RGR 4-78

Told you it was unique.

As in, u nique up on it. 😉

11B-Mailclerk

What elevated terrain Ft Stewart has, would generally be anthills

A Proud Infidel®™

Fort Stewart isn’t referred to as “Camp Swampy” for nothing! That’s like saying he did Swamp phase of Ranger School on Pikes Peak!

11B-Mailclerk

I once watched our Medics drive an M-113 into some seemingly solid ground, try to pivot between two trees, break through the crust of pine needles and roots, and promptly self-excavate themselves down into the muck. By the time the driver quit, there was about 6″ of remaining freeboard before the thing would have submerged.

The swearing was -epic-.

I was later told it took three M-88 recovery vehicles to get it out. Mostly, because they could not get anywhere near it.

“Camp Swampy” hardly does Ft Stewart justice.

1610desig

It was a very sizable fire ant hill…

RGR 4-78

Smile.

1610desig

I’m just a dumb former squid but even I know Stewart was flat Georgia

Frankie Cee

One Mirimoto Epstein, is on him too. I would like to think that he is “one of us”. 😉

Ex-PH2

No, but there ARE mountains at Fort Steward. Big ones. I’ve seen ’em. They defy terraining and protractors.

Mr. Pete

Whoa! Mountain at Stewart. I was stationed there. That would be quite a trick.

I guess he’s got that.

rgr769

Amazing. He must have been the only Ranger student and the only instructor, all rolled into one sack of we all know what.

Frankie Cee

And Class 5 was done in Winter. Sure it was Rich, you hoser.

Green Thumb

Ranger School sucks.

rgr769

It sucks the most when you are actually doing it. Once it is over and you are wearing the tab, you are glad you did it, because you know you never have to do it again. A reserve infantry captain in my class said he would rather do another tour in the Viet of the Nam, than have to go through the 8 weeks of Ranger school again.

Green Thumb

The turd gets the “Toolkit” award.

Shitbag.

Martinjmpr

Reading on…I see after he left active duty he did a stint with the 12th SFG(A), USAR.

It would be interesting to see his USAR DD-214. He was assigned to a Duty MOS of 18C30, which would have been an E-6 Special Forces Engineer Sergeant.

Now, back in the early 80’s, it was possible to get a “paper tab”, that is, to do the MOS portion of the SF Qualification Course through correspondence. I saw this when I was in 5/19th SFG (COARNG) from 1983 to 1984.

I don’t know if the USAR SF groups ever did the “paper tab” or if they would have done it at this time (after 1987 when Hanlon enlisted in the USAR.) Maybe some of the SF folks here can shed light on this.

It appears he was only assigned to the 12th SF Group for about 8 months (June 87 to February 88.) I don’t think that’s enough time for any kind of tab, paper or real.

Again, a guess but he was probably assigned to the slot and then flaked out before he started the school.

Bobo

I was thinking the same thing. He went into the USAR as a SMP cadet while going to college and got tied into the USAR’s 12th group. They probably had an open 18C slot and put him in that para/lin. I can’t imagine that they had any intent to actually send him to selection or SFQC, though, since he was tracking to be commissioned through ROTC. They probably got some free labor from the cadet, and he got to get some jumps in.

What’s interesting is that it looks like he didn’t finish ROTC, either.

19D2OR4 - Smitty

Might have just been administratively positioned there as well.

My first unit I held a 19K1O position as a 19D1O. Currently I am holding a 19D2V position. But am neither Airborne, nor Ranger qualified.

Side note* It’s kind of odd they coded all of the NCO slots in an armored Cavalry squadron as Airborne Ranger. Seeing as how we are not infantry and Bradley’s don’t take kindly to parachutes.

Dinotanker

Holy Crap Smitty! I have been away too long. WTF? Are now 19D’s supposed to be airborne ranger etc? Would have been news to most of the NCO’s I served with in E/303 and G/2/163 many moons ago. We had some Airborne Ranger guys but they were Viet Nam vets who were originally 11B/C’s who joined the National Guard and ended up in Cavalry or ACR’s.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

And if you are not convinced of his LEGITITISM, he was honor grad, hand tied on Tab with white thread (not green or blue or orange or any other appropriate color), took home the guideon, and if that was not enough … took home the Gerber boot knife too … but lost it in a Gay Friend (GF) breakup.

And he was out getting beer with the craziest Male Friend (MF) who he likes to spoon with.

So, for all you doubters he is LEGIT!

Bobo

The white thread is a winter Ranger thing. The guys who completed Ranger school in the winter sew the tab on with white thread.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

I know that … and that is why I believe him.

With inside knowledge like that, he can only be LEGIT.

rgr769

If that is really a thing, I’ll have to have proof. We all joked about it after graduation, but I don’t recall anyone running around with his Ranger tab sewn on with white thread. But this fucking poser, who never ever spent a day in the Ranger Training Brigade, has his unearned and un-awarded tab partly sown on with white thread. The lengths to which these poser cocksuckers will go is unbelievable.

UpNorth

WTF is the guideon? Is that anything like the guidon?

rgr769

It’s a New Jersey version of the Bible. They have them in all the motel rooms in Jersey.

Ex-PH2

It’s also a newly-discovered species of jungle bunny that was previously thought to be just another bunny.

Martinjmpr

Makes you wonder what happened between 1988 and 1993 when he was discharged from the USAR.

Also that FOIA form! “Basic Airbourne School?” Is that where they teach you to be an assassin like Jason Bourne while jumping from a plane? And a record of jump school but no jump wing badge listed under awards? Whichever clerk typed that form up must have been on his way to lunch.

Patrick408

Funny how they can’t remember unit names, time frames and MOS’s ect..
but he remembers honor man and gerber knife?
I think every Marine remembers the names of their DI’s, even my WWII buddy who enlisted Jan 1942 can still remember his, yet alone a SF unit or any outfit you served with.
Another POS who served his country only to shit all over his name with a stupid lie.

Amazing how Florida keeps popping up with these peeps.

What says he is in Florida? I see an Ohio and NY state on his facebook page.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Sorry Frankie, I just assumed he was from Florida along with the other shit birds, but you know what they say about assumed.

1610desig

I think you mean the Canaveral thing? And I can imagine he was at Club Pulse in Orlando during “jihadi [sic] night” but fortunately for him he was out in the parking lot pleasuring passing truckers

Combat Historian

He should have just stated he was a long-tabber with 2-75 Rangers for a while before moving on to other assignments and he would have been telling the truth, but telling the truth is never enough with some of these douchebags; I can only shake my head and ask why…

RGR 4-78

Trouble is he didn’t qualify for the Long Tab.

Frankie Cee

Most likely, seeing “Engineer” in his FOIA, he was “support” for whatever unit he was with. We have lots of guys in 6th Rangers who aren’t Rangers, not even jumpers. They fill OPFOR slots, S-4, etc.

Martinjmpr

RC units aren’t nearly as strict as AD units about putting MOS Qualified soldiers into slots. They’ll slot a non-MOS qualified soldier in a specific duty position until the soldier can either become MOS qualified or until another slot can be found.

Support personnel in SF units tend to either be supply/logistics types (mechanics, cooks, armorers, etc) personnel (S1), communications or military intelligence.

Note that Hanlon was assigned to the ODB, a/k/a the Company HQ. He was not assigned to a team (ODA.)

Green Thumb

Or just join the Guard and take a a two-week online course and switch your MOS.

Yeah.

Expert in 20 years versus an expert in two (2) weeks.

rgr769

He wasn’t qualified to wear any tab once they booted him from 2/75th Inf, especially including the Ranger unit scroll.

Martinjmpr

Another example of a guy with a perfectly respectable military past who felt the need to shit all over it with embellishment.

An airborne (note the correct spelling! 😉 ) qualified infantryman with at least some service in a Ranger battalion, made it up to the junior NCO ranks and kept his nose clean enough for a good cookie. Discharged at exactly 4 years of active service.

A perfectly honorable military resume that anyone should be proud to have.

Without one tiny bit of embellishment he’s already head and shoulders above most of the couldn’t-hack-it ELS’s or the served-3-years-and-got-out-as-an-E1 scumbags who pretend to be SF or Ranger or SEAL.

And yet….he had to go and claim shit he never earned. Nobody would have batted an eye if he’d simply said what he actually did.

Incomprehensible….

Combat Historian

My sentiments as well; he was an airborne qualified 11 Bravo who served some time in a Ranger battalion; that is something to be proud of. I just don’t understand the need to embellish and lie to turn himself into Johnny Rambo…

1610desig

Nice couple of photos you added, Jonn…that last one where he’s sporting the Ranger cap suggests he needs to conduct some serious counterflooding to level that smirk….and I imagine truckers are lining up to fill his other cheek

He is someone who definitely does not know when to shut his mouth, because if he did, it would be inserted almost up to the knee joint, would it?

Rich’s latest resistance technique: “I’m not a poser, you’re a poser.” lol

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Army units and jargon is not easy, particularly when you are faking it.

He could have said:

“I was a BM3 on a cruiser, yeah that’s it, the USS BRUISED LIVER (CG-15), look it up on the web, you will find me”.

Everyone would have believed him!

rgr769

Lying, lying poser. First, Class 5 back in his alleged timeframe started in the summer months; the first winter ranger class is Class No. 7, which usually started in November and ends in late January. My class 7 started on Nov. 13 and ended on Jan. 22. And we did joke that we should sew our tabs on with white thread, as we were snowed upon in the field several times in Dahlonega, GA at the Mt. Ranger camp. The 12th SFG(A) was a reserve unit. Most reserve and NG SF units allowed people to join who were not SF qualified, which he never was. The idea being that they will ultimately be sent to the school. The fact he only lasted 10 or 11 months with a Ranger battalion on AD as an infantryman says it all for me. He is a phony SOS and likely was a No Go as a non-tabbed ranger.

I read some books about LRRPs in Vietnam. Apparently back then you didn’t need any Ranger training to become a LRRP. You would complete basic infantry training and when you got to Vietnam you would volunteer for the LRRP unit. That was in the early days of the war. Then they started the Ranger training in the latter days of the war. LRRPs didn’t like the like the 6 man Ranger teams because it made it more difficult to infiltrate enemy territory. Before the LRRPs were 4 man teams.

Though LRRPs are considered Rangers they didn’t go through any special school at first. They were sent to a school set up by SF in Vietnam called “Recondo school”.

rgr769

You are only partly correct. In my Ranger company, the company conducted its own Recondo Course which was 3 weeks in duration. Many of our junior NCO’s had been to Ranger School at Benning so they did not need to go through our Recondo school or the Recondo school conducted at Nha Trang by 5th SFG(A). Non-Ranger school trained members had to successfully complete either our company course or the SF recon course to serve on the LRRP teams. We recruited combat experienced volunteers from the Division’s infantry battalions, not people that just finished AIT and had no combat experience. Army LRRP teams were always 6 men. (Anyway, that is what our TOE called for.) Teams were infil’d by helicopter 90% of the time. So, only four men on the bird didn’t make it easier. So, I am unaware of any four man LRRP teams. Even MACV/SOG used recon teams of more than 6 men to conduct their recon ops.
There was no “Ranger” school in RVN earlier or later in the war. I was there from June, 1970 to Oct. ’71. So, some of what you read is erroneous. Since I commanded a Ranger (LRRP) company I know of what I speak. I also read all the official, then current Army doctrine on LRRP operations in RVN, in addition to conducting them. LRRP companies were re-designated “Ranger” companies in February, 1969, IIRC. Before that they were letter companies of the 50th, 51st, and 52nd Inf. Regts.; for example, Co. E/51st Inf. became Co. G/75th Inf. The companies continued to function the same after the re-badge with the same personnel and organization.

Richard Hanlotion is a real dipstick…

Two copies of his DA form 2-1… looks like he had a clerk at the reserve center dummy one up for him.

So he shows up at Fort Knox reception center for basic and a week later he’s at Fort Benning for Infantry OSUT (one station unit training), interesting.

What that tells me is he showed up for basic and someone figured out is wasn’t qualified for whatever AIT he was scheduled for after BCT. At the time Fort Knox also conducted AIT for mechanics (wheel and track), and I believe other MOSs like truck drivers and cooks.

If he wasn’t qualified for some other MOS what makes the Army think he’s a good candidate for infantry?

OK, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt… he was probably color blind and they decided that infantry was his only option.

Either way the guy is a three alarm di*khead!

Reception station at Knox might have been because Benning did not have a reception station at that time.

I know Benning did not have a reception station in 1980 when I went through infantry OSUT. I flew to Columbia, SC and spent a week at Fort Jackson going through reception. We got our haircuts, uniforms issued, shots, etc.

Then after a week they bused us to Fort Benning where we were met by a whole bunch of “Friendly” drill sergeants. That was when the fun began….

Don’t know if they would have done that in the mid 70’s but for sure that’s the way they did it in 1980. I think Benning actually has a reception station now so new troops can report directly to Benning.

In 1979, I went to reception station at Jackson and after nine days there we were bussed to Fort Benning to begin our OSUT. Benning did not have its own reception station until about 1984 or so…

Over the hill Ranger

I served in B 2/75 RGR from 77 to 79 (CO was Buck Kernan, BN CDR was Wayne Downing). At that time E-5 and below who were not Ranger qualified went through a 3 week RIP upon arrival. They than were assigned to a platoon and were listed on a merit list for attending Ranger school. As the company FSO/TNG Oficer, I maintained the platoon lists.It generally took about a year to move up the list. They than went through a 3 week pre ranger class before attending the school at Benning. Due to the way the NCO’s handled the pre ranger course, about 90% of the attendees we sent earned their tabs.

Sounds like this guy lost motivation, whic was not too unusual, or bolo’d pre ranger.

Question from a jarhead.

Having served in 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, he is technically a Ranger, right? “The Tab is a school, the Scroll is a way of life”?

We’ve had posers go the other way: Ranger School yes; Ranger Battalion/Regiment no — so they’re “Ranger-qualified” but not “Rangers”.

Just clarifying for my own edjumacation.

You are correct. Except for our D-bag in question, the “way of life” only lasted for about 10 months before they kicked him down the road to Legville.

butler

Thank you for the clarification.

I just don’t get it. He was a legitimate Army Ranger who served with 2/75. Perfectly honorable record; did more than 99% of his peers.

And then he steals valor.

What’s that all sewn on? An old OD green top? Liked to hear the story how he got the SETAF patch, since its not linked to SF or Ranger. Guess that two months in Turkey was close enough to Italy to get him that one.

The jacket his patches are sewn onto is a Vietnam era OD jungle fatigue jacket. It is what we wore 24/7 in the Viet of the Nam, a place this POS poser never was.
