Kenneth Crocheron of Draper, Utah; the Ronald MacDonald of Stolen Valor
JD Hinton from Professional Soldiers sends over some pictures for your entertainment on this slow news Saturday. The photos are of fake Colonel Kenneth Crocheron. Do we really need a FOIA?
Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you – those are bloused jungle boots with those greens.
Some folks have already done FOIAs on him, but do we really need one? Take your best shot.
ADDED: Here’s a bonus shot. It looks like it was taken in a mirror because the “US” is inverted;
ADDED Again: For those of you who think this is a one-time thing that Crocheron is sorry about, here’s a photo of him wearing his faker finery on his little motorcycle thingie;

I think for the first time in my life I’m stuttering. It’ll probably be better if I remain speechless.
Happy Easter everyone!
Wish I was an Army guy. He’s kinda cute. And all them ribbons too.
I mean really do these guys do ANY research before they pull off this shit?
I hate being lied to but this is just plain embarrassing.
He promoted himself. Two grades. As per AR 670-whatever for award placement.
How many things does he have right?
The black officer band on the sleeve, the placement of the Vietnam service ribbon, and the rank on the jacket epaulets. That is all I can see.
I just don’t get these asshats. If one was trying to pass as something they are not, you would think they’d at least have the sense to get the shit right.
Nice hat dick.
what did he use as a guide for setting up his uniform, watching a low budget war movie?
I don’t know where to even start.
We need to start hiring former Marine DI’s to ambush life the utter shit out of these shitbags in front of their peers and families.
I could go on and on and ON,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, about this douchebag!!
Hat-Pin of 5th SFG(A)Crest and Flash on his Flash?? His Bird not on the Flash?? Shoulder boards on his Jacket?? I can not go any gurther!! gettin PIST!!
Why do folks think they can get away with this??
Coffee really does hurt as it spurts out your nose……
I can’t figure out why people pick the Army to try to be a poser in. They seem to have 3 times as many uniform regs to screw up on and change them every three years. Marine Regs haven’t changed much in 35 years.
The guy can’t even be consistent between one dress-up play day and another. And nothing says real-deal Veteran, not to mention pure class, like Old Glory taped to 1″ pvc and stuck in the flower bed on a tilt for a photo op in the middle of a McMansion development.
Hopefully I am typing this correctly, as I gouged both of my eyes out after seeing this douche nozzle ..
Wow, just Wow.
I was wondering where the medals cabinet at our local surplus store went… I drill right across the freeway from the Harley shop where TS (from Professional Soldiers) says he works, I’ll go visit him with my former infantry SSG buddy during our next drill. They’ll compare CIBs and stories about how they earned them, and I’ll report back.
He operates…on a whole ‘nother level
At TAH I’ve seen 20 year old E-8 fucksticks that got more right than this…this…..I don’t even have a name for this level of skull fuckery…..
Holy Crap… looks like he went to the surplus store and took the uniform off the dummy. I think I just vomited a bit in my mouth.
Wow, SF and all? How come nobody ever dresses up as an Army cook or clerk?
Looking at his “rack”; he’s a Vietnam vet with a Purple Heart. Give him a break, he’s probably been shot in the frontal lobe and his decision making abilities and his impulse control is lost! Either that, or he’s just a dumbass.
So a third award CIB?!? That means he has to be at least in his late 80s, right? Yeah-totally legit.
This one is pretty special.
Maybe these clowns have such a high opinion of themselves that they actually think that if they don’t know enough about a uniform to wear it properly then no one else does either. Hmmm.
What fuckery is this? Lol!
His pizza flipper hat is really the cats pajamas.
“Thats-ah spicy a-meat ball-ah!”
Brain to eyeballs: DOES NOT COMPUTE!!
IS HE TRYING TO look as f**ked up as he can? First, his beret looks like he stole it from a retarded French Pastry Cook before he added that idiotic assemblage of insignia. Any real Vet knows that Officers wear their rank on the beret patch, (this poodle turd ain’t even trying) not only jungle boots with Class A’s, but the bootlaces aren’t even tucked in, and is that a silk tie as well? The assemblage of OD green badges on the ACU’s scream “POSER” as well. I was raised to respect my elders, but if I were to meet this ‘tard in person, I don’t think I could keep myself from slapping him into next week, if he’s even ever served, I’ll bet that he was either a Boot Camp washout or a dirtball that was separated for the good of the Army. The patch over his right pocket? Yeah. I just glanced at his ribbons, and that’s all it took for me. The only other thought that passes through my mind is that he’s a recently released Mental Patient that hasn’t been taking his meds!
Gotta be one of the worst poseurs ever. Has this waste of oxygen ever seen someone in uniform? I want to punch this guy in the junk.
I thought I had seen it all, But NO! This shit-stain is beyound stoopid. Where did he learn how to wear that beret?
@12 – Try iced coffee. Not so painful.
@21, the highest decorated soldier in my unit in W. Germany when I was there was the cook; at least 1 Silver Star for some stuff he did in The Nam (that was in ’88-90)…
Just sayin. I Do like his boot laces, though.
HOLY DICKED UP POSER BATMAN!!! Id love to see a in the flesh bust out for this…
I wasn’t warned, SOMEBODY owes me a new keyboard!! Gotta hurry up and get it before the Mrs. gets home, she’ll want to paddle me……… hmmmmm, foreplay!
I didn’t know that the National Defense Service Medal (awarded for having a temperature during a certain period of time) out ranked the Purple Heart. And, that looks like he’s wearing the medal version of the NDSM also. Couldn’t he have picked a DSC or something? I would think that he should at least be a Senior Parachutist if not a Master Blaster. Never mind…as others have said, there’s too much here.
Tell him how you really feel.

What is that thing next to his jump wings?
MFF Badge, HALO
Why is he wearing a midshipman’s stripe with a captain’s eagle?
Is that TWO (count ’em) TWO sets of Vietnam service/campaign ribbons I see? (One left, one right)
Holy hand grenades!
I’m going back to my supper now. I’m going to sit quietly in my corner and read a book about Old Hooky’s regiment. That’s it. Old Hooky and Old Douro.
He must be a consultant for Hollywood TV and Movies.
That’s right up in the 19th SFG (A) headquarters area… Maybe someone will pay him a visit and square him away…
#36: Thanks. I would think that if you’re a HALO guy, you would have progressed beyond novice jumper?
Anyone on LinkedIn? http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kenneth-crocheron/53/254/87
This could be like one of the bits on the Sunday comics where you try to find the most things wrong.
It’s the bar napkin stapled to his beret that’s wrong. It’s the bar napkin, isn’t it?
I’m gonna go add a star to my CIB since I went to Iraq twice. We can do that now right?
luckily I wasn’t drinking anything when I looked at these pictures…
Those are just full monitor covering spew level right there.
You could literally have a guy put on a uniform, apply glue to his chest, throw him through a display case at an army surplus store, and the ribbons, medals, and badges that stuck to the glue would STILL be more accurate than what this asshole did.
[…] Ain’t Hell has a bunch of great posts up today but I like this one by Jonn on “Kenneth Crocheron of Draper, Utah; the Ronald MacDonald of Stolen Valor.” […]
Those crossed arrows are all over the map.
@17, CaS6, make sure you print the pictures of this assclown, and take them with you when you visit the Harley dealer. I’m sure that everyone there would just love to see the pics.
100% wrong on everything!

@40, his LinkedIn profile doesn’t list Army service in his past and listed as self-employed.
