Michael Hunsucker; got PTSD from being a deserter
Our friends at Guardians of Valor put up their latest criminal yesterday, Michael Hunsucker, who spent 2003-2012 AWOL and figures for that, not only did he earn a Silver Star, but he also deserves free stuff from unnamed charity, he forged a new DD214 to get free stuff, and figures it’s no big whoop;
If you’re going to forge your DD214, you might as well throw in Ranger/SF/Airborne and promote yourself to SSG. Yeah, look at the picture – does he really look that hard ass to you? So what’s his real story? He did 10 months in Germany, got sent back to Fort Sill for some reason and then went AWOL. Stayed gone for over 3,000 days, picked up by the civilians, turned over to the military and took a chapter 10 – in lieu of a court martial, discharged for the good of the military. And then jumped in line at the VA and applied to charities meant for people who did their job.
You should go read the whole thing, but not before you take your blood pressure meds. Especially, the chat one of the admins at GoV had with him on Facebook. Asswipes like him give PTS a bad name.
Oh, sorry, I forgot his real DD214;

Yo, Mikey, a tip– you can’t have PTSD or flashbacks from wars you weren’t in.
I was late for PT formation one day and my Team Leader tore me a new one. I’m off to the VA now to claim disability for PTS.
Well, let’s see-18D is way longer than 24 weeks (and what is an 18D10 anyway). Plus he has all of those medals, but no ribbons?
Well there is a lot of stress when you are on the lam for 10 years…the best cure for this little fraud is a strong 4ss beating and a few years making little ones out of big ones….
You know…most surnames are based on the occupation of the original holder.
Baker was a baker, Carpenter was a carpenter, etc
Hun-sucker
Wonder if his forefather got that working for the great Atilla
Isn’t anything over 30 days awol considered desertion
Now this is a Poser…I hope to hell the VAIG takes the case seriously and actually investigates it.
Shitbag.
No s**t, there I was, taking crappy jobs so I could be paid under the table, having to pay cash for everything, and living under a fake name for 8 years. It was horrible. And that’s how I caught the PTSD.
Boy, that meth sure is some nasty shit.
only did 10 months of a 24 month unaccompanied tour in Germany? how does that even work? only thing I can think of is a compassionate reassignment, but Ft Sill isn’t very close to South Dakota, his place of entry and I would assume his home of record.
@6 Joe, I guess the Army decided to offer him the fast way out so they could just be done with him instead of the throwing good money after bad on a trial and time at Leavenworth.
My favorite part of this DD-214 is:
Date entered active duty: 2002/02/11
Prior Active Service: 00/00/00
Prior Inactive Service: 00/02/15
(meaning, he enlisted on DEP about 12/27/2001)
And then:
Effective date of pay grade: 2001/09/01
Dude is so hard core he was promoted to E-6 [b]before he even enlisted![/b] 😀
@6–not necessarily. We had a guy on my first boat who was UA for 32 days who was never declared a deserter. I’ve seen cases similar as well.
Conversely, one need not be UA for 30 days before being declared a deserter. If someone has stated intent to go UA and not return, they can immediately be declared a deserter without the 30 day window. That timeframe is typically used to “give benefit of the doubt” that they are in fact well and truly gone for good.
That’s got to be the worst forged DD-214 I’ve ever seen. A third grader would yell fake. What did he use, scissors and a 20 year old Xerox machine? Also love Martinjmpr’s comment about how he attained E-6 before he enlisted, I missed that.
I like how its just “Special Forces”, lol
@14–nah, Jesse MacBeth’s is still the worst.
But Shane Ladner is up there as well.
I agree with NHSparky – MacBeth’s DD214 will reign supreme into eternity as the worst forgery ever.
Lots of Volkswagens out there leaving their doors open…
Oh my…this goob is so full of shit that even he rivals our favorite foursome of douchebags.
This maroon is a guaranteed high seed in next year’s tourney.
Turd powder, he sniffed; brains, they died.
Go AWOL, he did; FM 22-102 live demo, he deserves.
My niece with her crayons could do a better forgery. They always make themselves high speed spec ops. I bet he has huffed a lot of glue in is AWOL time.
I love the 18D10 as a E06 .. When I was at Bragg they wouldn’t even talk to you till you were an E-5 then you could try out.
By the way I caught the PTSD in Vietnam. (I was single and young once). My first time out. The Penicillin injection felt like a corkscrew. Never told anyone before. Glad this is a private forum. 😀
Okay, I find it hilarious that he didn’t have the basic knowledge of MOS grade levels. 18D10 is the basic level 18D that you get from MOS training. BNCOC is supposed to grant you your 20 classification, with ANCOC granting the 30, and so on.
He is probably the only E6 in the military prior to 2005 without BNCOC. Not t omention, I don’t think Combat Engineer is a SF-qualified MOS.
You have to read to full write up at the Guardian of Valor site. You get to see the second half of his real DD 214 with and RE code of 4, and the court martial info. One of the guys from the site confronts him on Facebook, where he admits the AWOL and forged DD214…but he clings to his PTSD/TBI story. And what is his proof that his injuries are real? Well the VA wouldn’t pay out his claim if it was fake would they? The VA’s inability do verify the claims of phonies is a giant dangling carrot that these morons just can’t resist.
Most of his face book friends look to be High School age girls, Fuggun Pedo-bear
“…Sent to Fort Sill for some reason…”
Look at line 8a of the actual DD214. PCF is the Personnel Confinement Facility at Ft Sill.
#6, #13 – there’s a lot of confusion about this because there are two broad definitions of “deserter” out there. One is an administrative one (you can find it in AR 630-10) – and it includes “a person AWOL more than 30 days.” When a person meets that definition, he’s dropped from the rolls (in slang, “declared a deserter”) so a warrant can be put out for his arrest.
The UCMJ, Article 85, has a completely different definition. A person is guilty of “desertion” if he leaves his unit with (1) the intent to remain away permanently, or (2) the intent to shirk hazardous duty or important service. (There are some others but those are the big ones.) That kind of desertion, you’re guilty of it the moment you leave, provided you had the requisite intent. People have been convicted of this kind of desertion when they were gone for only a few hours; they’ve been acquitted of it (or not even charged with it) when they were gone for months or years.
The distinction is important for several reasons – desertion carries a stiffer penalty than AWOL; and also, a person who is discharged for the UCMJ kind of desertion is barred from receiving VA benefits no matter what kind of discharge he gets; a person discharged for AWOL may or may not be, depending on circumstances. But to convict someone of it you have to prove the intent, not just a length of absence.
@ 26, LebbenB, mind blown. How the hell can you go AWOL from a Confinement Facility? Walked away from a working party maybe? Maybe that’s why the Army was all to happy to just wave the trial and send him on his way with a quickie OTH.
21B10? That would be a combat engineer officer when I was in. 12B10 would be an enlisted combat engineer (E1-E4, as Flagwaver says above). I got out in 2000, so maybe things have changed.
Well, that’ll teach me to comment before I check my facts (and read his real DD214). Apparently it was changed or my memory is faulty. Sorry, my bad.
That’s it, Ken, and word has it that DA has gone back to calling it 12B!
Michael Hunsucker looks like the kind of creep who would be prowling neighborhoods in a windowless van with “Free Candy” spray painted on the sides! I hope he gets his butt straightened out by Bubba & Thor next time he ends up in jail!!
You got to love it! On his arrest record, the category is “Criminal”. Most probably say that, I just never paid too close of attention. Funny.
@32 I love the image…of little Mikey and Big Bubba.
He’ll be someone’s “wife” in no time! As many an ex-felon will say, “In prison, only a$$holes get straightened out!”
Priceless. PTSD can stand for Purtnear Total Stoopid Dork, can’t it?
In this guy’s case, maybe “Putz/Tool/Schvantz/Dork”. I’m willing to bet he fully qualifies for that kind of “PTSD”. (smile)
Way to be politically correct, Big Army and changing the name of the “stockade” to “personnel confinement facility”. Good lord, no wonder clowns like this no longer fear anything other than an NJP or maybe a CO’s ART-15. *lmao*
At least they didn’t toss his ass in a girl scout camp for disadvantaged, wayward yoots I guess. I wonder if him and McBeth might not be shirt tail relatives.
streetsweeper: that name change started long ago. It was already called Central Confinement Facility (and nicknamed “Charlie’s Chicken Farm”) at Bragg by the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Sheesh-I hope the Corps and the Navy still call it the brig.
@37 Heh-heh…You said, “schvantz.”
I can’t believe how many of these Confinement Facilities they have closed. I was stationed at Hood when they actually burned down the one there so the post fire dept could get some practice. Granted it was made up of old WWII wooden buildings with I think a single fence perimeter. Was a shock the first time I drove by it and there were guys walking around in jumpsuits. I think after they burned it down they gave a contract to the Bell County Jail for them to house all the pretrial and short time sentences.
Hunsucker? Hun Sucker? I guess his ancestors had an issue too.
@43AirCav, Yup they did. The issue was that they met (unfortunately for the world)!
The CCF (correctional custody facility, “Charlie’s Chicken Farm”) was a way different animal than the Personnel Confinement Facilities (PCFs).
The former used to be something you could get at Article 15 – and from what I’m told (as far as I know they were all closed before I got in so I do not have experience with them) they were something like “basic training on stilts,” designed to whip a soldier back into shape. I’ve heard from old NCO’s that it was one of the few punishments that really worked to adjust a bad attitude.
The PCF’s are basically prisons. You can only be sent there by court-martial. (Or pretrial confinement pending a court-martial.)
@45: I think I’ve heard of CCFs but I think they were all gone by the mid 1980’s when I was in. My understanding was that a field grade commander could sentence an E-4 or below (though maybe it was E-3 and below?) to CCF for up to 14 days or something like that as part of a FG Article 15.
I don’t think commanders issuing CO grade article 15’s could do that, but I may be wrong.
@38: I’m not sure I’d call it “political correctness.” In the old Army (circa 19th century), at least, the “stockade” simply meant the part of the fort that was surrounded by walls. Some forts were completely stockaded, others (notably the posts out West where lumber was scarce and where the hostiles typically didn’t attack military installations) there was no stockade.
If a soldier screwed up and needed to be punished (which happened a LOT since the army of that time was often recruited from the dregs of society) they would be sent to the “guardhouse.”
Extra turd.
@46, martinjmpr, I ETS’ed the first time in the early 90’s, and from what I remember at that time, a CO could sentence a Soldier up to 14 days in a Correctional Confinement Facility on a Company Grade Art. 15, and a FG Article 15 could get a Troop up to 30 days if the same, maybe 45. Just out of dumb curiosity on my part, does the “Martin” part of your screen name, does it refer to MACH on Ft. Benning?
Pardon the cruddy grammar on my last sentence, I should have double checked before I clicked the “submit” button. Hey Jonn, any chance we could have an “edit” option in the future?
From his Facebook page…he commented on an article about a court in Vegas set up specifically for war vets..his thoughts: “When we go to war and come back things are not the same and our judgement becomes impaired and it is not our fault , There has to be some understanding our world was turned upside down.”
My thoughts. All I can do is plagiarise a great American writer…”Extra Turd”
