Spooky 8; the anal emission II
Editor’s Note; Bob King passed away Monday, April 28, 2014.
You may remember that Blackfive and Uncle Jimbo talked me into reviewing a POS book titled Spooky 8; the Final Mission which was supposed to be true-to-life thriller of Army-trained professional killer, Bob King. Well, from pieces of the book, and with the exhaustive sleuthing of our friends at POW Net, we were able to track down his military records.
Now, this might not be the guy, but it’s just too coincidental to be anyone else. Aside from the same name, both Bob Kings (the Bob King in the book and the Bob King from the military records) grew up in, and currently live in WenatchiWenatchee, Washington, they were both born in 1952, both joined the Army in 1972, both went to basic training in June 1972 at Fort Ord, California. And then they both went to the Basic Airborne Course.
In the book, he joined the Army with a buddy to go to the 82d Airborne Division, so did this Bob King;
But that’s where their paths diverge. Somehow, actual Bob King didn’t make it through jump school. Two weeks after he got there, he was on his way to Fort Sill, OK to be a cannon cocker, but he ends up being a colonel’s driver.
Book Bob King, of course, graduated from jump school, was recruited by a nameless covert operations organization while he attended BAC (weren’t we all?) and went on to be the studly killer and mayhem-organizer of Spooky 8 fame. Being a colonel’s driver would be perfect cover for a deadly killer like either Bob King. Those two days AWOL, though, would probably make someone think twice about putting some trust in him. But then, that’s the kind of rebellious behavior we’d expect from Book Bob.
Book Bob King became a Master Sergeant in three short years, but actual Bob King only made it as far as a Specialist;
I’m kind of surprised that either Bob King isn’t a member of Vietnam veterans Against the War since his record is sort of like faux-Ranger Ward Reilly. He’s certainly equally qualified as Reilly.
At his website, Book Bob posts his picture;
But this is how I imagine him;
By the way, I wrote Bob King an email yesterday and asked him if he had anything he’d like to add. Here’s his response;

Dood, you’re being too rough on the non-jumpschool hacker LEG…
He obviously got Matthis Chiroux style 2nd hand PTSD from hearing stories of the ‘Nam from his Drill Seargeants…
Jonn, I’d say “with all due respect” first, but I wouldn’t mean it. There is no possible way you all were able to get records from 1972. The Army lost my bah and promotion paperwork 15265 times in the 5 months I was at Bragg for Mobilization…so for me to think they could keerp a sheet of paper over 30 years is crap.
BAH and promotion are not the same file dimwit. Want me to request your records for you? Not like I don’t know your SSN. This is the 2-1 file stuff, and I guarantee you they have all that because that’s how we do claims for the VA.
“There is no possible way you all were able to get records from 1972.”
Don’t need every last scrap of paperwork to prove he’s not some sort of Spec Ops bubba. He BOLOED out of Airborne school. His 2-1 shows this. You don’t get to be a “Super Secret Nighthawk Commando with Shadow Section, Ghost Platoon” without Jump wings.
Fair enough TSO, you do have the benifit of knowing my ssn, only because its pretty much the same as yours….but I have confidential information on you too! DNA….you see, the clothes of mine that your case of worms demolished are still sealed in vaccum bags waiting for the day I want to frame you for something.
“Why would someone rob a bank and leave his soiled shorts behind????”
Love the post’s title.
Hey Jonn; how did you get that picture of me!!?? That photo is above top secret and the boys in black will be over to your house in a matter of minutes to “question” you on where you got it.
Damn, now I have to change my appearance once again. I’m running out of rodent costumes, so maybe I will have to find a new animal to be?
I like the picture from his website; he’s got that super secret agent stare down pat; doesn’t he?
VTWoody, oh chit, call me a maroon, was reading your post while bouncing down the highway in the back of a van… Didn’t catch your sarcasm, my bad!
Another loser outed. Go Jonn, go.
I’ve never seen an actual “secret squirrel” before. This is awesome!
Jonn – I am sorry that I can’t give 10 hours of your life back for investigating this POS. The part about eating MRE’s in Viet Nam was enough to seal the deal here.
Beers are on me next time.
Thanks!
Matt
Are you SURE that’s not Richard Marcinko after he shaved and took a bath????
Got that same stare…

“The part about eating MRE’s in Viet Nam was enough to seal the deal here.”
OH, and I suppose you’re gonna point out that there weren’t any K-rats in the War of 1812 or that Roman Legionnaires didn’t munch on hard tack…
Thanks so much for the great job of outing this chump. Next stop, US Atty.’s office for a Stolen Valor claim. I wrote to BlackFive about him. Thanks again.
All the way,

I was once dropped from the bomb bay of a B-52 at 30kft with a plastic garbage bag to collect air samples as a pre-mission evaluation prior to one of the Linebacker operations. Night drop, it was. I landed deep in enemy territory, but fortunately right on the deck of John Kerry’s boat, which then made it back to camp before dawn. I delivered the air bag to Westy himself at breakfast (feggs and coacoa puffs, if you’re curious).
Anyhow, I ain’t one o’ them queers or anything, but that there’s a damn fine lookin’ 57-yeear old man in that photo.
But I don’t recall seeimg him at any of the reunions.

Well if you had seen it, it wouldn’t be a secret now would it?
You didn’t see anything, come on boys lets blow this Popsicle stand
I can wait for Spooky 8.5: revenge of the anal fissure.
“The Army lost my bah and promotion paperwork 15265 times in the 5 months I was at Bragg for Mobilization…so for me to think they could keerp a sheet of paper over 30 years is crap.”
Off Topic, but… the Army lost my medical records between Basic and AIT. Couple of weeks before graduating I had to take another enlistment physical so I could go to Germany after finishing lab tech school. 🙂
I need advice…what do you do about someone who is posing as a veteran? Please read the story at my blog and advise:

Just so you know the town is Wenatchee, WA, where by chance my daughter (a vet US Army nurse) lives. Maybe we can send her over their for a little beat down. The Columbia flows right through town, big river, a body may never show up.
[…] This Ain’t Hell has a post where POW Net did the heavy lifting on this character and it doesn’t look good for him. How the hell did he get so far with no journalists checking him out? I guess Seymour Hersh was too busy masturbating to it to investigate the author. It has so much of that Dan Rather truthiness to olit. […]
Whoa! So thats what the secret squirrel looks like! He doesn’t look anything like Book Bob! What the hell is wrong with that guy?
[…] This old clown is named George H Lauve, well, sometimes. He sometimes goes by George Lauvec and he’s from Wenatchee, WA, the same town where we found another phony living, Bob “Spooky 8″ King. […]
I missed this turd.
Love the tough guy pic.
[…] 13th, 2012 Some of you may remember when I read a book sent to us by a Blackfive reader written by Bob King; Spooky 8, The Final Mission. Bob contended that he was recruited out of jump school to be a secret squirrel during Vietnam. Of […]
What you need to get is a copy of the letter from the U.S. Attorney in Oklahoma City that could have prosecuted but did not charge him when he used his bullshit DD-214 to get a job at an AFB. I saw the letter with the real 214, and the dummied-up one years back. He is still vigilant at his securiuty guard duties at the high school. He had a little press right after the New Town shootings but no mention of the Spooky stuff.
What is ironic is his brother owns a polygraph business that doe polygraphs for local law enforcement applicants. Spooky is truly a legend in his own mind.
DAMN ACTUALLY HAD TO YAHOO SPOOKY 8 SHIT MAN O’ FIRE AND HOLD THE MATCHES DON’T LIGHT YET, SORRY MY REC’S ARE SEALED UNDER A PILE OF ASH FROM THE ’73 FIRE OPPPPPPPPPPPPS DID I SAY THAT SHIT, MAN O MAN OR WAR WHAT WE COMING TO
Clown.

Went ahead and emailed this douche bag myself through his website that promotes his book…
So I came across a website that is dedicated to ousting Stolen Valor people and I found that you were on there… along with all of your records which show the truth about your military service. You never made it through jump school and you were assigned as a Colonel’s driver at Fort Sill yet you have filled your website up with these illusions of being picked up by some spec ops unit. You also never made it past the rank of Specialist but you
feel the need to tell us you were a MSG. People like you disgust me. If you want to write a fiction story then fine but don’t write one and then call it fact based on your life when all you are is a liar.

Thanks for the great post here! For some reason these things really make book sales go up…..
If you actually read Spooky 8 or went to the website – http://www.spooky8.com, you would know how much BS you all are putting out here. Thanks to Scott Rowe for reminding me of this blog.
Thanks for all the time and effort put in here, you seem to be proving a point the book was trying to make. Good job, thanks!
Bob King – great picture by the way…….
Yeah, Bob, good idea to resurrect this post. I know your story is that the military altered your records to hide your secret squirrel activities, but you’re talking to a bunch of veterans here, not some goofy high school principal, so go sell crazy somewhere else, we’re all stocked up here. Oh, yeah, I read the piece of shit book. It was pure fantasy from beginning to end – and bad fantasy, too.
Oh yeah, I really like the flak over the “MRE” reference. Although it was originally written as “LRRP Rations” and an editor didn’t know what that was so he changed it to MRE’s, it really shows true “seeking for the truth” when that is all it took for some of you to jump on this soap box.
Also, could someone let me know where you saw that I said I was a MSG? I’ve not seen that one yet and would like to know where that one came from.
Again, good job!!
So Jonn, have you heard me say anything about the military altering my records? Nope, you haven’t! I really think you’re smarter than that.
@34.
Clown.
@35
Wow…OK I’ll do it…..
TURD
Can you guys help me out here, since you are all so smart, looking at the above posted documents, it shows I had a duty MOS of 95B10, was I really a Military Policeman at Ft. Benning? Wow, I missed that. Also, did I go to AIT to become a 13A10 twice, or was AIT only two days and then I was a 64C20?
Oh yeah, on the page that shows what I originally enlisted for (which is correct by the way), above that it has the 95B and 13A10 crossed out, did you do that or was that an error on some clerks part?
Seriously, the data and dates don’t look like they add up very well to me so help me out.
Hey Bobby. Are you trying to fill the void left by Wickre’s departure? Don’t split hairs here and spotlight a misplaced decimal point. But if that’s your tacticm while you’re at it, feel free to spotlight any and all scrivener’s errors. But the bottom line is the bottom line: Either you were all that you claimed or you weren’t.
Bob King stinks so bad I can smell him through the screen.
He’s probably looking to generate a buzz because of the reviews of his book that include lines like this:
The prospect that King is telling the truth may distress readers more than the prospect that he is fabricating events. Those events are related with a modicum of suspense in adrenalized prose laced with sometimes laughable dialogue. But even if everything that King says happened actually did occur, his telling is so devoid of meaningful moral reflection that it will satisfy only those willing to entertain the most lurid and violent revenge fantasies.
#37 I can explain it for you, Bob, but you already know the story, right? You enlisted as an airborne MP, a 95B and you shit yourself at jump school and terminated. When you defaulted on your contract you were unassigned, because you hadn’t been to your AIT, so they assigned you as to “the needs of the Army” and you became a fucking POG-ass Leg. No, you don’t ever say that the Army altered your records, but you eat around the edge of that, doncha? Fucking dick.
Not exactly damning with faint praise, but damning with direct comments as to the amateurish writing style.
But as with anything lousy publicity is better than zero publicity….
You guys are priceless, really! This was never been about the military, not then and not now, but you seekers of the truth have surely made it that way. It amazes me that you would spend so much time on a nobody like me.
If you were honest, you would admit that none of you really know anything about me. I have not met, worked or served with any of you. You don’t know me or anything about me other than what someone else has posted.
I don’t claim to be anything, and if you researched just a little, you would know that, but your fragile egos seem to have a need to display your all-knowing knowledge.
I won’t speak anymore about anything someone else has claimed I’ve said or written in a book that someone else edited and published. You just don’t get it and no matter what I might say will change that.
So post on my friends, have at it. I hope it all makes you feel better about yourselves.
@43.
Your an imposter.
Bob, we will, but you revived a long-dead post, jumping up and down and waving your arms. Go back to sweeping the hallways at the school and threatening the principal with your deadly skills that you earned as a suck-ass colonel’s driver, you moron.
“I won’t speak anymore about anything someone else has claimed I’ve said or written in a book that someone else edited and published.”
It all goes back to somebody else screwing your story up?
I’m betting if the “publisher” had put in a storyline about you sucking a Benny-boy’s dick in the Phillipines it wouldn’t have made it to print.
It’s really weird about all you fuckwad’s pulling that line about you being pulled out of units ( recruited) for “blackops”. You think with the vets here we would have some sort of shared experience about some shit hot stud that was whisked away from the unit and nobody knows where he went.
Bob King you are Type 1, MK 10, Mod 0, Class JackAss!
For those of you who need a good laugh, check out Bobby’s Q & A session. It is a scream.
Q. Does your family know of your history with government ops? If so, what was their take on it all?
A. At first, I’m pretty sure they didn’t know what I was doing. When I was in the Army, they didn’t hear from me for very long periods of time and that made my Dad suspicious. Once, I had been wounded and was in a hospital. I had called home just to hear a friendly voice and while I was talking to my Dad, he heard the hospital intercom in the background. I didn’t really tell him what was going on but he had a pretty good idea. Over the years, they knew and I didn’t have to tell them a thing. It’s a little difficult to hide bullet wounds and that sort of thing.
Why Bobby, where were you shot? Or do you run around naked all the time such that wherever you were hit, the scars are obvious? And as for that hospital, is that the one where one can sometimes hear, “Paging Dr. Gillespie. You’re need in the shock therapy room STAT!”

Wow, Bob. This whole story of yours sounds like something the 8-10 year old neighborhood kids would make up while they play “war” in the creek down by the woods.
@46, I’ve only seen someone “whisked” away once. He tried, and made, Delta selection. He came back, cleared, and was then gone. It’s not like they are taken in the middle of the night like a lot of these fucksticks think.
