Kevin Mundy; the mirror image airman

| April 15, 2013

So, someone told me that this dude showed up at his house wearing an Air Force beret and wearing ACUs, claiming to be an Air Force secret squirrel Air Force Major. I’ve blown this picture up and it looks like he has Velcro jump wings on his rank thingie on his ACUs. But that’s probably the least of his uniform problems. Yes, I know it’s not an Air Force beret, but the Air Force doesn’t wear them like that either;

This is supposed to be him, too and it might be, because his beret is still leaning towards his Left ear, but this guy has an 82d combat patch. I’m not sure if Air Force folks are supposed to have combat patches, especially Army unit combat patches. Of course, he might have been prior service, because the uniform is the old “chocolate chip” desert BDUs, but, I don’t know of any NCO in the 82d who would let someone run around with that jacked-up beret. And a beret isn’t a field uniform, neither is having rolled up sleeves – rolled up the Army way. And the picture maybe backwards. Most men wear their watch on their left wrist, and it looks like the magazine eject button is on the wrong side of the rifle.

Thought maybe the picture was a mirror image, because he has the American flag on the wrong shoulder, too, but if it was, he’d have to be driving a British car, wouldn’t he?

But here’s his Facebook page;

I admire the dude, it takes a lot of work to get your beret to form completely backwards like that. But, unless he was in the Israeli Air Force he looks like cream cheese on a glazed doughnut.

Dude might be the real deal, for all I know – but his uniform says something different. And he’s not answering my messages.

Sorry, but most the Air Force guys I see are so unsat that its hard for me to distinguish them from the posers.

Twist

I haven’t seen anyone using that top vehicle since the early 90’s.

TrapperFrank

The beret flash is that of the armour battalion that used to be part of the 82nd Airborne. They were the last unit that had the Sheridan tank in the army and were disbanded in the mid 1990’s I believe…

Combat Historian

#2: Looks like a CUCV, which replaced the M880 series, and was itself phased out in the early ’90s by HMMWV vehicle family, at least in the Army…

George

It’s not a beret. It’s a “red bray”.

If he’s AF, he needs to clean up those sideburns IAW
AFI 36-2903.

Combat Historian

#7: Jonn, one of two possible conclusions: 1) either the USAF/USAFR still use CUCVs (unlikely), or 2) this is a surplus CUCV restored to military condition by a collector, as many many CUCVs were surplused in the ’90s and were used as regular SUVs by civvies, or restored to military paint scheme by military vehicle collectors…

Bam Bam

Guys! He’s special ops! That’s why he has the CUCV. EVERYONE knows those guys use nonstandard equipment. It’s probably an up armored CUCV at that!

I guess sunglasses make a fellow look tough or something. It does look rather overcast in the two pics in which he’s sporting the fly eyes. But maybe he has an eye condition. Or maybe he is morhing into a fly.

The Chevy has the SeaBee logo on it. Navy still uses them.

2/17 Air Cav

Here’s a p. Please stick it betyween the r and h in morhing. Thanks.

rb325th

73rd armoured flash on his “red bray”… because yep, PJ’s wear that on theirs ya know….
Claims AF Reserves, betting he needs an excuse for having been “away”.
The Chocolate Chip photo, the M-16 is the A1, not even the A2 that the 83d had back in 1985/86. Are thos jump wings on his beret in that picture??

Combat Historian

This dude has JOINT written all over him…Air Force “bray”, Army ACUs, and Navy SeaBee CUCV behind him; damn, had no clue that the Navy still uses CUCVs; I learn somethin’ new every day here (no sarc)!

Green Thumb

Turd Pusher.

SSG Medzyk

My bad! NOT a SeaBee logo (my mouse just died while trying to enlarge the pic. new mouse proved me wrong), sorry!

But, yes, the CB’s out of Pt Hueneme, who come to Camp Roberts and Camp San Luis Obispo here in California quite regularly, still drive CUCV’s.

Combat Historian

So while the Navy still uses CUCVs, this particular vehicle above is not one of them; so perhaps we’re back to either conclusion #1 or #2 listed by me above on post #8?

LebbenB

This guy’s so weak he’s not even soup. He’s more like a thin, watery broth.

Hondo

LebbenB: of course he’s not Soup. There is only one Soup:

Wearing ACU’s in the civie world is a huge clue. The only time I wear mine is if I have to stop on my way home because my “get gas dumb ass” light comes on in my truck.

Green Thumb

What a pussy.

TSO

Is he supposed to be a PJ? Because I can’t throw a rock without hitting one right now, and there are only about 500 of them total, so I will show the picture to them. I’m guessing they will be super psyched.

BTW- Your fearless reporter stubbed his toe, stumbled and twisted an ankle yesterday. Now, I’m not saying it is worse than the marine last night who broke his femur last night, but I’m soldiering on with only motrin and an ace bandage. I’m no hero…..ok, maybe I am. The way I cleaned up the wound on my toe while surrounded by Air Force SPs was pretty fahkin legendary.

DAFUQ?????

OWB

Gotta love the moustache! Not that it fits regs, but ain’t it cute.

Smaj

That is the 3-73 Armor “bray” flash and unit crest. This has been passed to the 3-73 community, so we’ll see if something comes back on this clown.

Twist

Never mind the toe, TSO, we have more important things to worry about. IS THE BEARD ALRIGHT?

TSO

The beard is good. A bit matted from drool from sleeping last night with the birds circling.

Hard to cover a story in the pitch dark with little moon light and no NODS so I made the valient decision to watch Family Guy and then go to bed.

LebbenB

Hondo: True, so true. MSG Soup has a near and dear place in my heart. He was how I found this blog a couple of years ago when I saw his photo on a forum I’m a part of.

UpNorth

Reading his profile and postings at FB, I’d bet he’s not a high school grad, but he went to a high school. And, he spells like a middle school reject.
He wears a beret like he thinks it’s supposed to be ear flaps.

Jeff Ray

That insignia is from the 3rd Battalion(Airborne), 73rd Armor Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. It was deactivated in 1997 and then reactivated as the 3rd and 4th Squadron, 73 Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne. I served Four years in that unit. His picture is now up on our Facebook page and we will see if anyone can identify that older picture.

Jumpmaster

His uniform is all wrong and anyone can buy a military-surplus diesel Blazer on eBay. Even at being a poser, this guy is a failure. This brings back fond memories of roaring around Saudi Arabia in an M-1009 Blazer during Persian Gulf 1.

Green Thumb

Pussy.

On the old DCU and with the ACU and the new multicam in Afghan, the AF is allowed to wear combat patches for the unit they are embedded with. However, they only wear those uniforms overseas in deployed locations, not stateside, where they wear the ABU which does not allow combat patches.

ChipNASA

I seriously hope he sees that he’s been outed the Internet and *seriously* unf*ucks himself.

Common Sense

Wow! I can actually offer something on this one! In the first photo, he has a metal pin version of the occupational badge. On ABUs, that’s a sewn-on fabric patch, the pin is only used for the dress uniform.

Also, The Air Force doesn’t have a flag of any kind on the sleeves, only their rank insignia. Now, my son hasn’t deployed yet, so maybe they get something extra then? I’ll have to ask him when he gets home from work.

Common Sense

@33 – thanks for explaining the combat patch, I ran upstairs to check his uniform and didn’t see your post right away.

NHSparky

No. Just no.

ChipNASA

I can’t wait until it’s illegal just to put on a uniform and pretend to be in the military, just like it is for civilian law enforcement…..(holds breath……..turns blue………falls over…..*thump*….*crickets*)

Isnala

Will also add the AF folds the “bray” same way Army does… top the right… So while the photo 2 does look to have been reversed, #1 and #3 look right and he’s wearing it wrong. This could be the case where this sad sap saw photo #2 and thought, hey I kind look like this guy, I can use this as proof and has based his lies on it ever since. Reason I say this is becasue photo #2 looks a lot like an old photo of MSgt Wilkinson, USAF Ret. (the PJ, made famous in Blackhawk Down) Now I could be wrong, but that wouldn’t change the fact that Mr Mundy is ful of it….

Since TSO is down with the boys, maybe he can see if the unit historian has old pics of Wilkinson from the 90s, may prove an interesting search.

He’s definitely Secret Squirrel Surplus issue.

I can fix that mustache with a pair of tweezers. The bray probably covers bald w/a combover.

johca

TSO –he’s not even close to be posing as a USAF Pararescue or even CCT. Not a darn thing being worn in the picture comes close. The picture is such a mockery I’m even hesitant to claim he must be Air Force support in one of the Joint Communications Support Element down at MacDillm or other joint communications unit. But I’m willing to flip the coin on that possibility.

TSO

I just saw the red beret and Air Force and made the leap.

ChipNASA

Is it just me or does anyone else want to take a 72″ defensive lacrosse stick and just smash this asshat right in the windpipe.
/Jes sayin’ is all….

CBSenior

Name Tape? Kind of stand out don’t they.

Twist

@44, Not to defend this guy, but when we first switched to ACU’s we were still using the OD green name tapes. I was in one of the first (if not the first) units to deploy with ACU’s. We didn’t get the ACU name tapes until shortly before redeployment.

USMCE8Ret

Isn’t that the raspberry beret Prince sang about in her song?

How very fitting for this fuck-knuckle.

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

Those sunglasses – REAL DEAL!

The Air Force calls ACUs ABUs, just in case anyone gives a shit.

Combat Historian

#48: The Army ACUs and the Air Force ABUs are two completely different uniforms with different digi camo patterns. If an airman wears the Army ACUs downrange because he was assigned to support an Army unit, does the AF still considers what he wears to be “ABUs”? (I don’t know the answer; so I’m honestly askin’…)

OWB

In no way would I ever wish to appear to be supporting a wannabe, a poser, or any other variety of scumbag. But, the reality simply is that on the best days, when the USAF uniform changes, the Air Guard is usually at least 3 years behind in requiring and/or issuing replacements. Don’t know about AF Reserve in that regard.

So, it was not uncommon during my career to have all sorts of variations of uniform on base at the same time – all perfectly legal. Some of us really did try to keep up but had to pay for the new things ourselves until years later when we were issued the new items.
