Gustavo Badello; phony SEAL/CPO

| January 25, 2014

Gustavo Badell1

Scotty sends us links to yet another pretend SEAL, Gustavo Badello who tells us that he was a proud member of SEAL Team 3. Proof? Well, besides the universally recognized mark of a real deal SEAL – his Trident tattoo – here he is in his uniform;

Gustavo Badell2

You can tell that he’s the real deal because of how the oversized cap sits on his pin-sized grape, and there are no other awards on his jacket except the SEAL Trident.

So why is he here at TAH? Because Don says he belongs here;

Scotty says that he’s wearing the wrong cap for his rank, but I don’t know about that. I just know that the size is wrong.

Nothing days “legit US Navy CPO” quite like a nonexistent ribbon rack.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Ah … Yeah right!

And the jacket … That is a Stewards Jacket from the Love Boat.

Patrick

Clearly you didn’t know.
KMRIA!

Marine_7002

Ohhhhh boy. This clown is stirring up the denizens of the TAH Goat Locker. Stand by to ram, Gustavo.

By the way, what’s a “memeber” of a SEAL team do? Is that a new Navy rate of some kind, bestowed only on the most elite SEALS?

ItAllFades

You know he’s legit by the steroid stance and the Superman shirt.

Green Thumb

Dude belongs on the Love Boat.

Turd.

2/17 Air Cav

Dude IS the Love Boat.

I was just explaining to someone what I thought was wrong with the picture (before reading it) and when I said “cover” I was told “it’s a hat and you are hanging out on that Mil/Blog too much”. Mom said I could be anything when I grew up, I became a pain in the ass.

Scotty

He’s a low profile SEAL,That is why he only has the Trident on his uniform after 20 years of service.

Ex-PH2

Not just ‘NO’, but ‘HELL NO’. Geez-o Pete, he’s got stuff from the cruise lines as dress whites? Holy twisted tridents, Neptune! Nail him!

That ‘cover’ doesn’t look like Navy. It looks more like Merchant Marine or something. Or maybe the Moldavian Coast Guard.

Oh, that is SO bad, it hurts to try not to laugh about it.

Mike

Negative on the Merchant Marine. It would look like this if it were.

It would have made my day if it WAS this cover. It has been on my bookshelf for a couple of years now, waiting to see if anyone buys one like it and tries to pass it off as U.S. Navy!

MSGRetired

So many fake fucks and so little time ! Laser Surgery to remove the Tat AssHat ! Well you wanted to be somebody and now your dream will come true as a Phony Navy SEAL. Attaboy Douche nozzle Mission accomplished !

Sparks

It just never ends, does it? Besides everything about his uniform being wrong (and I am not even a Navy vet) he is just a fool with a capital F. No NDSM, nothing. Do these idiots not even take the time to look at some real Navy veteran’s photos before they go out looking like that? The guy is a laugh riot. Wonder who he is scamming and for what, with that get up. I really do feel bad for Master Chief and all you Navy veterans for having to endure such ass hats as him.

Sparks

Gees. I just went to his Facebook page and the douche got married in that get up back in January 2013! Amazing that NO ONE at the wedding was a veteran of any kind to stand by and see that mess and not say something.

Green Thumb

Maybe someone needs to contact that Pro Wrestling School.

There might be some legit former-service types enrolled (knew a guy that did it once).

Maybe they could adjust some of their “moves” to create some real impact.

Sparks

Well hell. There’s another photo of another wedding, different woman, in the same get up. But it is December 2013 and he has the beefier steroid look. What an ass clown.

Brownwolf

This tool can’t spell. What is “Untied States Navy” in his Facebook’s about section?

ExHack

His sense of reality appears to be “untied.” Maybe that’s what enlisted him in the Untied Navy.

Dude looks like the kind of guy who can’t tie lace-ups, but has to wear the sneaks with the big Velcro straps. Common for the elderly (dexterity), the morbidly obese (ditto), and the mentally disabled (BINGO!)

Ex-PH2

The Untied States Navy?

Oh, that’s the freelance coast guarding marine force that goes around in duck suits and offers their services protecting your childrens’ splashy pond in the front yard.

I would really love to see his shoes. But I wouldn’t want to be IN his shoes right now.

Sparks

I messaged a few of his friends on Facebook with our link here. One is a true veteran. Hope some of them start calling him out.

JarHead Pat

It’s Gopher from love boat.

Green Thumb

@16.

the only Velcro this turd is about is that kind that is attached to his lover’s strap-on.

A Proud Infidel

WTF, OVER?! DAMN, they’re popping out of the woodwork like nightcrawlers when you kick a cow patty! (And cow patties are FAR more useful than fat fucks like him!) I wonder if this douchenoramus will “Wickre” on us like others?

ExHack

Yep, Proud. Gotta petition The Management to consider quarterly tourneys.

Douche applicator.

Mustang2LT

@19 – Hell, Gopher would mop the floor with him. What needs to happen is we sic Isaac on him!
🙂

Mustang2LT

@22 – ExHack, I posted the same suggestion a few months back. Take the quarterly champs and have an annual Poser Throwdown to determine which is the “Posiest Poser of All!”

Mustang2LT

These guys are closer to being SEALs than this clown.

Watch “The Love Boat” on YouTube

I’d like to thank all the posers out there for splashing their Stolen Valor pics all over the web. It makes the evidence gathering so much easier.

Ex-PH2

I hate to give away the farm, but for anyone unfamiliar with the dress whites for male CPOs, follow this link:

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/uniformregulations/chapter3/MaleChief/MC_Ceremonial/Pages/FullDressWhite.aspx

Single row, four gold buttons, mandarin/stand-up collar, medals. Also, the CPO cover has a fouled anchor above the bill.

Whatever that double-breasted jacket is, it is not even USMM (merchant marine) dress whites. Their regulations:

“•Formal or Dinner Dress – Worn during formal occasions such as the June Ball or Christmas Ball, formal dress uniforms are comparable to black tie in the civilian world. Short coats, black bow ties, and gold cummerbunds for men, and long skirts and frilled shirts for women are hallmarks of these distinctive uniforms. The dinner dress jacket is white in the summer and black in the winter, while the pants (or skirt) and shoes are always black.”

Note the description of the dinner jacket: SHORT COAT.

It’s not even the US Coast Guard, which has 6 gold buttons in a single row and a mandarin/stand-up collar.

I swear, that thing looks like a riding jacket you’d see at a horseshow for gaited horse riders in the ‘formal wear’ class, complete to a shade with a top hat. I kid you not.

Bobo

I know that I’ve seen those chief whites somewhere. I think that is was my father’s Blue Jacket Manual published in 1943. Honestly, he must have found a 60 year old uniform at a surplus store or a costume shop. They just forgot to sell him some ribbons or medals. Asshat.

Bobo

The other place that I’ve seen that CPO uniform – the movie The Sand Pebbles, set in China in the 1920s.

Green Thumb

Contacted the wrestling school and left them a message.

Hopefully they will administer a cold, steel beatdown “Rugged” Ronnie Garvin Style followed immediately by the Garvin Stomp!

That Guy

I wouldn’t doubt Don Shipley. HE HAS THE HAIR

Ex-PH2

Well, I researched the 5-gaited formal wear, which has changed a lot from the cutaway or swallow-tail evening jacket to a long-skirted shawl collar jacket with a paired button frog that is placed just at the waistline, and the formal wear no long includes white.

However, as badly put together as this jacket is, I’d say it’s from a costume shop, or he got someone to run it up on a sewing machine. Judging from the width of the lapels, circa 1970s leisure suit wide.

Note the fabric pulling at the sleeve seam in front, as well as the fabric pulling at the top left button. It is not tailored to fit him properly at all.

Including that fact, and the 1970s leisure suit style of the lapels, I’d have to say that he put it together himself on a sewing machine with a Butterick pattern he found in a bin at the Goodwill store.

It’s a shoddy job, and he needs to stop wearing it. He looks ridiculous.

FatCircles0311

lol loser looks like a cruise ship captain.

A Proud Infidel

Maybe next we’ll hear him say that his career was SO sooperdooperseekritskwirrel that he’s not allowed to wear his ribbons out in public, and those arms, fat or Synthol?

Marine_7002

Kinda tough to tailor anything to properly fit a turd.

thebesig

Looks like he had his uniform steam pressed… with him inside of it. When it was all said and done, his head was the only thing that shrunk. But, where he lacks in the head area, he makes up in the ego area. Maybe his service cap size was meant for his ego, not his actual head size. 😀

Hondo

This guy is living proof that some kids never outgrow playing “dress up” . . . .

OIF '06-'07-'08

Hey Gustavo, Sgt. Pepper called. He wants his uniform back.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Fucking idiot looks like he’s wearing the old DT CPO rating badge on a Uni that hasn’t been worn in over 50 years… THE HAIR is gonna be tearin’ up some ass on this assclown in a New York City minute

The steroids shrunk his nuts. Hopefully he’s sterile too.

Green Thumb

He reminds me a bit of that rich clown that was on here not long ago.

The name escapes me, but he was that assclown that was throwing the party in the Hamptons or such. He was rocking the PH, the Navy whites, SEAL, etc. He had that older, rugged and extremely used cougar with him in the picture. A bullhorn as well.

Anyone remember the name?

NHSparky

Jebus. One look at this fucktard and I want an ice cream cone.

And I think I also mentioned a quarterly qualifier at some point–that or an NIT style tournament for those who just don’t have the game or standouts to play with the big boys.

Ex-PH2

Green Thumb, I know who you’re talking about, the name escapes me, but it was just a costume party.

Andy

wonder if this guy found that hot mess of a uniform in a surplus store or online? and we all know, if he’s here, Chief Shipley has run his name down and thrown the bullshit flag. Gotta love these retards that do this at a wedding, not that we have ever seen someone do this before.

Ex-PH2

Clamsgotlegs, I went looking for WWII uniforms. That getup is not WWII.

It goes back to Navy uniform regs 1913, rev. in 1917, for World War I. I kid you not.

http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/WW!_US_NAVY_Chief_Petty_Officer_Dress-White_Uniform_from_World_War_One_pdf

And the cover is wrong for that uniform. It should have a much more small crown.

So where this idiot got that WWI uniform is beyond me, but it is definitely NOT a modern CPO uniform.

Bobo

I took as best a look as I could at the rating patch. I thought the same thing about it being the old DT rating symbol. Nothing says SEAL like the guy handing you your dental records when you come in for your annual check.

Open Channel D

No way that’s a DT rating patch. Probably a long disestablished rate, given the uniform looks like something out of a 50’s B movie.

What a douchenugget.

Brownwolf

@ GT & Ex-PH2,

It was the hipster douchenoodle.

Here’s the The Sand Pebbles version of the white CPO uniform: http://mistercrew.com/files/2011/01/sand_pebbles_09.jpg

Ex-PH2

Yes, “The Sand Pebbles” was a WWI-period movie. It is definitely a World War I CPO’s uniform, but the rate patch is so obscure, it’s hard to tell what it is.

This idiot probably got the jacket from a vintage uniform dealer on e-Bay.
