“SFC Coombs” Walmartian phony
UPDATE: Before you go on, do not confuse this clown for the real DA Coombs who is a Legit Badass and served Honorably. The real one looks nothing like this turd and went on to retire as a CW3. Nothing makes us more irritated than having a legit veteran called out as a poser. DE OPPRESSO LIBER
Dan sends us the story from one of his friends about this phony SpecOps warrior spotted at Walmart on Skibo Road in Fayetteville, NC – probably the toughest town in which to be a phony SpecOps warrior. But here’s the story the way it was sent to me;
” HI EVERYONE!! Today we’re going to play the “I pose as a special forces
soldier and then convince everyone to give me money” game.Meet “SFC” Coombs, he is most popular for making appearances at the Wal-Mart
on Skibo and talking like a green beret from Hollywood.Unfortunately for Mr. Coombs, he failed the questionnaire given by SPC Hunt.
For all you posers out there: if a “leg” soldier asks you what the 4th week
of airborne school is like, it would f*cking behoove you to inform him that
there are only 3 weeks in Army Airborne School, not 4. Also, when he asks
you what the hardest part of the 18 Delta Course is like (since a very good
friend of mine is an SF medic), you might not want to say language. As my
friend told me, language was the easiest part of the actual pipeline. Again,
you fail.Mr. Coombs, although I appreciate your admiration for our armed services,
and although I realize that posing as a soldier is not a crime, I must end
by saying thank-you for the tab which you didn’t earn. You can have it back
when you complete the Special Forces pipeline, motherf#cker. I guess you’ll
take real soldiers more seriously when they tell you that they aren’t
leaving until they take the tab off of your uniform.PS, if you’re going to act tough when a paratrooper takes your fake tab off
of your shoulder and then back away when he gets his fists up for a fight,
you might want your last words to be manly instead of, “I just got you for
assault. You’re going to jail.”Haha. OK. I’m sure the police will be happy to fulfill the needs of an
impostor. Your face is now known all around the Special Forces community.
enjoy.”

Well done, young SPC. Damn well done.
Hope your CO has enough common sense to “misplace” any complaints he might get about this. Ditto the FPD.
I wish there was a video.
Dude, seriously….
If you’re going to be fake SF, why in the name of God would you do it publicly in Fayetteville? Granted, they’re used to seeing uniforms but the odds that a real troopers is going to catch you and overhaul your ass are better than average.
Double fail.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!! Out-fucking-standing SPC Hunt!
I’ve got a buddy down in 3rd Group that is an 18D. I forward all of these phoney SF guys to him just to piss him off.
Spent a lot of time in Fayetteville as a kid, as both my dad and uncle were 18’s… I can say though that the special forces community is so small, especially those stationed at Bragg anymore, that your chances of getting away with this is nil.

Should have drop kicked him.
Just another face “People of Walmart”

Meth head.
Is it COOMBS or COOMES?
I am mixing my criminal mugshot database up!
@11, that last one was not too long ago. Looks like he likes playing dress up and comitting crimes. Is that a drug possession charge?
believe it is Coombs
Master Chief — the Walmart video…… I was in a bad mood. Now, I am not.
TnX!
I think the Stolen Valor tournament is going to have to be thrown twice this year on account of the sheer amount of entries we already have.
HAHAHA- one of his charges is ‘driving without two headlamps’ lolol. Yeah, he’s a dimbulb all right.
Gotta give it to him tho- prancing as a phony SOF around Fayettenam is akin to walking into DHS dressed as a phony cop… gotta have some ‘nads to do that.
A fake SF dude in Fayetteville! That’s like trying pass yourself off as Bill Clinton in a whorehouse!
I love my 18D friends, I keep them closer than my wife and buy them flowers every valentines day. And I’m fucking AF! But I know who you want to make your best friend. And I take a special sort of dislike to people who pose as medics.
Fake SEALS, Fake Delta… yeah they just have small dicks and mommy issues, but fake 18D? I’ll fucking kill you myself.
Oh. and I forgot to mention my PJs but for some reason the fakers are never smart enough to stolen valor PJs or CCT I have no idea other than just pure ignorance.
#18 Right? The only way he could do it better is to play dress up and show up at Sharky’s on a Friday night.
Ex-PH2: here’s part 2. Enjoy.
In the liberal la la land of Massachusetts we don’t take kindly to this kind of fraud, if he was asking for money while wearing that uniform, it’s 90 days in jail if the judge is in a p1ssy mood.
The problem though with giving away what a poser “should” say as in the original article, is that it only gives the posers more ways to fool others.
Wow, posing as a SF guy there? As we say in hockey about goalies, “it takes a special kind of stupid.”
First, posing as an SF Troop around Fayetteville, NC is as brilliant as running around Columbus/ Ft Benning pretending to be a Ranger, wotta brainiac! He’s so skinny, any “Joe” in Army Boot Camp could stuff a feather up his ass and use him for a dart! Y’all tell me your thoughts about this, it’s my favorite “head game” that I like to use on those that I think are posers. I’ll ask an Asswipe like that “where did you train, Camp Tanner or Fort Ticonderoga?”. A real Vet would set my ass straight, but the last poser I pulled that stunt on went on a rant about how badassed his training at “Camp Tanner” was, I handed him a shovel, and he couldn’t dig fast enough! I ended it by telling him how full of excreta he was, and that “Camp Tanner” was something I made up, and he just about fainted on the spot, he had been spouting his BS as fast as he could to as many people as he could, and others as well as the Bartender were laughing their asses off at him! For USMC posers, I’ll ask if they did Boot Camp at Camp Tanner or Tybee Island, real Marines would smack me upside the head and tell me they trained at Camp Pendleton or Parris Island. For Navy posers, I’ll ask if they did Boot Camp in Roanoke or California, every poser I’ve ever pulled this stunt on has dug his or herself (I”m an Equal Opportunity prick, I LOVE making fools out of posers!) in DEEP almost instantly! Yes, I have a name for the game, I call it “Bust the Bullshitter”!
Week 4 involved beer and a certain special lady.
As for 18D: learning to midwife. Darn you Week 4!
(and no, I’m not SF)
A_Proud_Infidel….. If you’re talking about Marine boot camp, there’s Parris Island and San Diego. East of the Mississippi, P.I., west of the river San Diego “Hollywood Marines”. Parris Island Plt 3008 1968.
Isn’t he wearing a 1st group flash? They are at Ft. Lewis and Okinawa aren’t they?
As a former paratrooper at Bragg and later having the pleasure of delivering freight to the skibo store on a weekly basis I can tell you two things about that store from personnal experience. There are a lot of soldiers in it and there are a lot of gang punks that hang around it. This jackass looks like perfect prey to both groups. They could toss his poser butt back and forth like a frisbee and the cops would provide refreshments. Whats this geniuses next move, strapping on a steak jockstrap and doing the backstroke in a shark tank?
Tman, if the posers aren’t smart enough to Google uniform standards they damn sure ain’t smart enough to come here for tips.
Jonp: this tool is apparently so dumb he’d swim the breaststroke instead.
This is almost as stupid heading to Benning dressed up like some Air Force douchenozzle super-Rambo with desert camo boots (bloused, of course) and huffing shoe polish as you drive up to the gate.
What, you say? Already been done? FUCK!
Ha…..”put a feather in his ass and use him as a dart.” Laughed my ass off on that one.
@33
Ahhhh…SoupSandwich, a distinguished alum…
Missed this guy.
He looks strung out.
Turd.
It’s really bad when me as and my buddy as ADA soldiers to catch this guy outside the Crown Ford right down the street from Wal-Mart. People like him are what makes some people think negatively upon the military. To dress up just to beg for some money, come on, I bet the only thing he knows about military is from movies and the internet. If he knew how the life really was he wouldn’t be wearing that uniform instead of disrespecting NCO’s that way.
D’oh!
A month ago, I dropped my cac card in the seat of my car, turned around at the yadkin gate at fort bragg and parked at a gas station to find it so I could access post. When looking in the car for my ID, I noticed a banged up white minivan roll up on me with the window rolled down. It is a SFC that says, ” Hey Sergeant, I need some help”. It is early, and dark, my brain is not quite functioning. I responded to the man and said, “whats going on sergeant, how can I help you?” He then tells me he is a green beret and he is driving back from a mission and needs my help. I was a little confused at what was going on and was at a loss for words.I said “What do you need me to help you with?” and he said he then did not have his ID either . He said he was about to run out of gas and he had a bunch of weapons in the back he needed to return, and needed 50 bucks. I said “Sorry man, I cant help you”. I thought it is a little strange that a SFC Special forces NCO is asking an ordinary SGT for help, and he has weapons, No ID, and driving a peice of shit molestor van. He caught me off gaurd, I was tired an in a hurry, I came up to his van to have a peek and make sure that he was full of shit about the weapons, but there was just a bunch of trash, cans, and bullshit in the back. I got a closer look at his uniform while we talked a little more and saw all the chest candy and noticed he was a wrinkly, scrawny crack man. Also, when I told him I couldnt help, he got angry and knife handed me from his vehicle. Weird. He is still out there. Beware.
My new meth connection.
Turd.
What needs to happen is to have some guys in civvies to make signs and stand next to the bastard with an arrow pointing at him and calling him poser or fake. Had this done by some of my employees when a nut job would stand on the public sidewalk and protest my sheriff’s office with derogatory signs. Did not take long to get rid of the nut job.
As a former member of MAC V SOG attached to 5th AmeriCal @ City of Hue, Camp Evans, LZ Elizabeth 101st ABN 1st Brigade 50duece in country for two tours and now this turd really chaffs my ass, of course every thing has changed since those days of Nam, i still hanker for by bdu’s not this camo shit, our unit wore the infamous BLACK beret, the green was the 173rd, red or maroon was 82nd
in closing this site doing real good job of exposure now just do that with the politicians is washington
Rabbi? Rangers wore the black beret. SF always had green. 82nd wears maroon.
There was no “5th Americal”. The WWII Americal division officially became the 23rd ID during Vietnam, and they operated out of Chu Lai. Camp Evans was located about 20km north of Hue, where elements of the First Cav operated. MAC-SOG operated out of Saigon, Kontum, Ban Me Thuot, and Da Nang….not Hue.
Unless your post was some sort of weird joke?
Shitbaggy extra loser dirtbag.
Turd.
He impersonated a soldier and you didn’t call the police?? I hope he doesn’t blow us up.
Theres another picture that goes with this of the spc holding the sf long tab he took off that asshole….well done.
@WTF, he was reported. Unfortunately, this turd is doing nothing wrong. There are many posers around here that try to pretend to be active duty or veterans. Mr. Coomes does not wanna blow anything up except his nasal cavaties and lungs with meth. He is one of a million meth heads around here.
He’s got nothing on my daddy
@47–exactly where is this “around here” of which you speak, son?
And yeah, he’s doing something wrong. VERY fucking wrong. Sucks for you if you can’t figure that one out.
NHSparky: I’m guessing DBROWN is in the Fort Bragg area and was told that Coomes was doing “nothing wrong” by the local police. From a local LE perspective, that’s probably correct.
