Fort Hood’s suspected pimp
Chief Tango sends us a link to The Army Times which reports that the Fort Hood pimp is SFC Gregory McQueen (pictured above).
The military officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation and McQueen has not been charged with a crime.
McQueen told USA Today he had no comment when reached by telephone.
McQueen was working as a sexual abuse educator, but went through the ranks in the Air Defense Artillery and is assigned to the 69th ADA Brigade, according to records.
Investigators believe that McQueen, 37, persuaded a female private first class to become a prostitute who sold sex to other servicemembers, according to a senior defense official and Capitol Hill staffer who have been briefed on the investigation.
[…]
McQueen approached another female private first class, the sources said, and attempted to persuade her to become a prostitute. She refused, and he sexually assaulted her, the sources said. She brought the complaint to military officials.
Everyone seems so sure that this really happened, but they haven’t charged SFC McQueen yet, so that makes me wonder if they really have a case against him.
Category: Who knows
Anonymous senior military officials gave up the name and the specifics being investigated? That’s nice, really nice.
‘Hey, we already spoke to this issue and told the world how outraged we are. Our sasses are hanging out. Call the Army Times and get in front of this in case no charges are leveled or the soldier is found not guilty!’
Yes sireee, General!
Yeah, well, indeed – in all potential “he said, she said” kinds of cases, everything must be carefully analyzed. Perhaps even more carefully than with other criminal cases because of the explosive emotional component in addition to the criminal elements of whatever happened.
That said, this is one scary looking dude! To a victim of some sort of sexual trauma, could he offer much comfort after scaring the crap out of the victim just by walking into the room? (And before it starts – no, his skin tone has nothing to do with anything!)
So, yes, his size and attitude could well intimidate people into doing his bidding (isn’t that exactly what we want in our warriors?), but it needs to be proven that he misused those attributes. We just do not have enough info to make an informed judgment.
Gonna go with “innocent until proven guilty” posture.
Here we go, another round of mandated TIP training…
3364–were you in when Tailhook went down? Oh, yeah, those days were a hoot. Funny how it was all officers in that gauntlet, but IIRC, I don’t remember ever seeing a single officer at our “all-hands” sexual harassment training.
NHSparky, yeah I was. I had to sit through two days of that crap and I didn’t remember any enlisted bubbleheads at Tailhook.
How did a guy that fat get promoted to E-7?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Nice CAB too.
Not.
Turd.
Yeah, gotta love those Taxi Badges…I bet he some some real “shit”….
There is no way the servics can train their way out of the problem. They need to take the authority out of commmanders hands when it comes to charging sexual harassment cases. This SFC looks like he never deployed coming from a ADA background and his overweight appearance in his picture. If the investigation proves true he must of had a target rich environment while units were deployed.
@9 He’s been deployed. He’s wearing a Combat Action Badge. Which means he’s been in “combat” (though those CABs are handed out on a pretty liberal basis and for things which I wouldn’t even consider combat) so he’s at least been deployed once. Still a fat fucker though.
Isn’t the first time. We had a couple of folks arrested for prostitution on my last deployment. I think that somehow the “pimp” survived the purge, which is interesting, since he was an officer.
ADA, that figures… at my ADA unit in Germany (also 69th ADA Bde at the time) the joke was that our sexual harassment training came with an activity book. 69th bde– you get it coming and going!
My bad I was looking at his picture with my smart phone to me it looked like a Air Assault badge.
Is “pimp” a seperate MOS or an additional skill identifier?
Is that a Recruiter Badge he is wearing on his left pocket?
What in the SAM HILL is going around here???? I was alway told that you could.nt hold a part time job while your on ative duty unless you had a permit from your CO. and he got his cut, Getting real bad when a guy can’t make a easy buck these days, (What Ever)
Sam (Where the tall Corn grows)
Definitely not the first time. First time something like this has reached public heights. I remember in early 2000s, AF LTs and Army captains allegedly were pimping out enlisted females in Korea for a nice dime.
ADA = Fake Infantry.
Trapper Frank: new MOS, procurement related. (smile)
And yes, he does seem to have been a Recruiter – multiple ways. Couldn’t make that up and be believed.
So this, along with that AF LtCol @ss bag, is why I lost half a day last week to more mandatory training….
IF he’s guilty, send him to a federal pen and make him the prostitute….. case closed.
I just found a video of this guy on the AlGore.net!
Ah … another one:
Hondo, makes me wonder what other unethical stuff he got away with in recruiting.
@19.
Recruiting has always had this problem.
Remember back in the early 2000’s when they were pushing Corporals to recruit due to age and culture similarities?
Program went south because a lot of those Corporals were laying pipe. Easy access to schools, etc. I am not saying it was assault, but it became problematic with respect to fraternization and socialization.
While there was common sense in the approach, Big Army did not take into condsideration the maturity factor.
I would not touch recruiting duty with a ten foot pole.
I went with a nephew of a friend (messed up kid) to see a recruiter and the lies came forth. I just stayed quiet for a while. I had chops, holy jeans, dirt under my nails, etc. The recruiter did not give me a second look.
Then I started asking questions. Then I went to see his boss.
The boss was worse but knew he had been caught.
Par for the course in that type of command structure.
Green Thumb: I was actually making a joke about the “new MOS” being “procurement” related – given one somewhat old definition of the term “procurer”.
And yeah, Recruiting Command has historically had problems along those lines. The term “diddling DEPs” didn’t come out of thin air.
— break —
Twist: yeah, does make you wonder what else he pulled while in Recruiting Command. And elsewhere.
@24 & 25…oh, the stories I could tell ya about recruiting. It’s a pure numbers game, and the CRF (Career Recruiting Force, or Can’t Remember Fleet) guys were the driving force behind a lot of the shady shit.
You were given conflicting (at best) instructions–don’t miss goal, but don’t break the rules to do it. Usually the last part was said with a more than subtle wink.
I guess you guys are not into the “Pimp Bitch Slap” humor.
Now, I am suggesting that I am, but the videos do add some clarity to the Pimp and Ho life style thingy!
It is truly tragic!
He looks like a NCO that the unit wanted to get rid of due to substandard preformance. Since he’s black they also wanted to get a check in the block for putting a minority in charge of something no matter if he’s qualified for the position. I’m not convicting him but what kind of training did he attend to get the position? Also, what are the racial statics of the males that have been charged with sexual assault and harassment? The ones I see getting hammered at Lackland AFB are all minorities. Except for one white female who didn’t receive same punishment as her male counter parts only one month in confinement with the option of staying in the AF. The black culture that is projected on the media today does not advance female causes, unless you watch reruns of the Cosby show.
I wonder if he is a Mason?
Just a FYSA is was only assigned to the ADA UNIT after being put under investigation. He was not assigned to ADA when this took place. He was moved.
He’s fatter than the POS 1SGT that rode my ass about my weight until I took an early out during a RIF in ’92. I was 235 and 6’4″, but he wanted me to be sub-207. I had no problems with passing PT tests and did my job well, but he was a sloppy, fat effer that never came to PT. I would have retired from the army, if not for that fatass clown.
#31, pcola as in Pensacola? I’m not far from there.
#6 “ItallFades” The same way his buddies did, being “connected”, kissing the right ass and attending the right meetings at the “hall”.
I’m reading all these comments about his CAB Badge and how he hasn’t done anything to deserve it. Here’s some info to educate you, the CAB badge was created for all and I say all non infantry MOS. Because during the 10 plus years we deployed many MOS were required to conduct missions as infantrymen. The basic skill ALL soldiers are taught when entering the military. The badge was created because the infantry was not able to handle all of the missions required to protect the force ( MSR security) my first tour was with 1/506th AASLT INF, as a 92y I didn’ t just hand out pens I patrolled, I conducted cordon and search,cordon and knock pulled security while the Iraqs held protests. So don’t discredit his Badge or his accimplishment because he has a character flaw. Audie Murphy had many character flaws but was a soldier in every bit or the word. For what he is being accused of warrants no explanation, all the training in the world can’t stop a Soldier from making a bad choice, and that’s just what it is a BAD choice compounded by stupidity. As a soldier I feel nobody outside of the military should be allowed to make decisions on what happens to SOLDIERS a congress person who has never served don’t understand what we do, don’t know a soldiers mentality so why should Sombobdy who authorize themselves a raise make it against the law to take a pay cut to better the country be allowed to make decisions on military matters. That’s just my take on the situation.
Why is everybody worring about how and why he got promoted sounds like you wish you had made rank. But couldn’t cut it.
Uhm, Anon? Don’t remember anyone here disparaging the CAB. The question came up. He probably earned it.
Meanwhile, thanks for adding your 2 cents.
@Skh. Pcola. You were a fat piece of shit and deserved to be ridde, If you were so squared away you would have re-upped and left that unit and prevailed yet you chose to let Sombobdy deter you from what you wanted to accomplish, perfect example of how a big body encases a small brain. Should have gotten down to 207 prick
@OWB
I respect what soldiers go through but when people start bashing others and talking about irrelevant issues makes the acutal issue become obscure why does it matter if he a Mason or recruiter its obvious he did something worthwhile he didn’t promote him self and FYI, ALL I say again ALL promotions are based on POTENTIAL. For me to believe that he made sombody in uniform have sex for money is absurd these days you can’t get a soldier to get to work on time but you can make the sell their body for sex. Get real people he made a choice and that female made a choice and that’s what life is about choices. He mad a bad one.

You don’t think that qualifies as discrediting the badge ?
I’m a tad miffed about some of the comments here. First, from the pic I can’t tell whether his body type favors an NFL lineman or a blimp. Second, and more important, he hasn’t been charged with a crime, as Jonn’s post points out, yet he is regarded as having not only been charged but convicted. The investigation is ongoing and the purposeful leak of the investigation’s subject matter is unconscionable precisely because, absent any evidence, he is now guilty in the public opinion arena. He is accused of ‘persuading’ an adult female to whore herself. I have no idea what that means and damning this soldier is hardly extending the benefit of the doubt to him. It may be that he is not charged at all. Or it may be that a prostitution ring involving many other is discovered and he is part of it. I have no idea.
Yet, STFU. you are exercising your right to speak your mind just as the other poster did.
This really is a great world isn’t it?
Hey STFU, you sound like either a poser or some staff puke who never left the wire, that’s IF you ever served, let alone deployed, ‘lil jailhouse bitchboy!!
@ 2/17 AIR CAV
You are correct only in the Armed Forces and bloggers eyes is he guilty.
What happens to this guy if the allegations aren’t true, they have something but calling him a pimp is a stretch.
I know him he is a piece of shit that uses his race to get by.
Hey STFU, have you ever served, period? And NO, your few years of JROTC DON’T count, little boy!! From what I’ve seen from you so far, i wonder if you even made it to the seventh grade before you dropped out of school and started drawing welfare!!
“…but they haven’t charged SFC McQueen yet, so that makes me wonder if they really have a case against him.’ Well, this blogger’s postion is pretty clear by that statement of his.
taco: the soldier may not be worth his weight in sardines. All I’m saying is that this stuff started b/c of a deliberate leak to the press by “anonymous military” officials and conclusive and derogatory comments about the not-yet-charged sergeant are a natural outflow from that. I just wish folks would wait but they are free to go where they will.
@44.
That shit used to happen a lot.
He looks like a piece of shit in uniform. According to the regs if you even have the appearance of being overweight you can be put on the fatboy program. I bet he is a mason and everyone knows that masons look out for each other. @STFU your a jackass!
Anyone who new this guy life is being destroyed they flag them picked them up ran over to CID .they have to get someone but what about all the soldiers they destroy names and family trying to get him
Just remember it could be you. The congressman say the army does nothing in these case yes they do they destroy you and any chance you had at your job is over your name done and the rumor mill will never stop.
Let a soldier tell the media people names leak info you would get and art 15. They say the hold chain of command is flag because they had to know this was going on so to look good they flag everybody they have move all the soldier from 3corp to other units to take heat off the corp they say people in 1cav 3cr 3corp are the major player so if you know this guy your life about to change and not for the good
