Just wondering what ever happened to Jay “The Major” Kerwin the Boot Camp LA? He was kicked out of the Air Force for selling steroids and claimed to be a Navy SEAL and AF Para-rescue Team Member. He was outed by Don Shipley and had him take down the video. He is still running his boot camp.
A woman checked in who knew the goon in HS. She said he was an ass then as he is now.
He is still ducking calls and avoiding other inquiries with respect to his lack of a business license(s) and questionable business practices.
When you do get him and ask him questions, he just hangs up on you.
A real, Phildoesque, sack of shit.
Also, I heard from a fairly reliable source that is within Gay Jay’s vocal range that all of this (his bullshit and claims) is a smear campaign against him and his company.
I do not know if anyone is buying it, but he is selling it.
I am sure Gay Jay is still running his clown show. Or should I start referring to him as Va Jay Jay? I dunno…..maybe I should leave it alone.
Nah, it’ll still be game on.
Va Jay Jay, that fits him/it perfectly, I think he’s literally Richard Simmons on Steroids! (Even though I HATE Richard Simmons, I have far more respect for him/it than I do for Va Jay Jay, Simmons never claimed to be a SEAL or PJ!)
Maybe this should be on the Bug Thread, but I’m too lazy to look for it…
Since last weekend, every time I try to hit this site, up pops a big’ol 404, can’t find it doodad. I have to put the Google Fu on and back door it…WTF, over? (hat tip to MCPO NYC) Have I got the dumb so bad I forgot how to find where the Cool Kids hang out?
Missed a weeks worth of goodness before I figured it out…*facepalm*
The … Curt — make sure that you go to :
http://valorguardians.com/blog/
I was getting “teh 404” until I added /blog/ after the domain name.
Lurker Curt, I had that same problem, but when I got it solved (*valorguardians.com/blog/*), I clicked on the ‘Favorites’ add-on thingy and now I just click on the TAH icon. Less work, more fun.
YOU DIDN’T SAY “OVER”.
OVER OVER OVER, already!
Geez louise, picky, picky, pickypants!!!!
Next time, Master Chief, post the spew alert? That was funny.
10-4, ROGER-WILCO, OVER AND OUT!!!
For some reason every night from about 7:55 to 8:05 pm I get those errors, too. They must be doing something to the servers at that time.
Thanks all- I will try teh Technologies. Wears me out, all this computin’…
(…and, I just can”t help myself…)
Over 😉
Dammit, I think I broke it…Will try the favorites thingy, over
I run into a similar issue on my fancy computer phone. It will sometimes work, but most of the time not, and this makes me sad. This site is always the highlight of my day. Keep up the great work Jonn. Even us youngins enjoy the wisdom dispensed here.
Open Thread OVER:
Today, I received a letter from lawyer Bernath. I read it and almost fell down because I bacame light headed because I was laughing so hard. I will address it later but there is one thing everyone should know. When you talk to him can not speak ’till he says “over”. This is a no shitter and this is what happened in the first minute of the second call after he hung up on me during call # 1.
I called back to tell him that I needed to answer his demand.
He said, “I will talk to you if you don’t yell”. I said, “fair enough”. He said, “no, no, no don’t answer until I say OVER”.
MCPO: what?
DB: I said, don’t answer until I said OVER, like in aviation communications.
MCPO: what?
DB: I am serious!
MCPO: OK …
DB: I did not say OVER!
MCPO: OVER!
DB: NO, I talk … when I am done I say OVER!
MCPO: OVER!
DB: If you want to talk do what I say!
MCPO: Over?
Yes … This is how it went.
He is a certified MORON of the highest order!
This is a NO SHITTER!
PS: Bernath … I WILL see you in court!
By the way he believes SREYWAL are some kind of specialized team that I have assembled to do him harm. Argh … He is not only a really bad lawyer he is not very smart!
Master Chief:
Maybe he was operating an amateur radio, similar to the MARS station communications that we had on military installations.
In that event, if his telephone was patched through a radio relay, then he’s required by FCC regulations to use proper radio procedure, which does mean you must say, “OVER”, after each message.
KB3KWS
Or he could just be a pathetic, delusional moron.
Master Chief When you talk to him again tell him he cant talk until you say Meow.
MEOW … I hate Cats but WILCO OUT OVER!
I think you should make him say “snowflake”, but I’m just a dickweed.
nope. make him say sparkle pony.
I like MEOW, but ‘tweet-tweet’ might work, too.
MEOW.
@ NHSparky:
How did you successfully embed that video on this site?
Whenever I, or Enigma4you, attempt to embed a YOU TUBE video, the embedding code appears as a URL link.
Just paste the link. Don’t try to embed or do any fancy HTML stuff.
Easy-peasy.
Sparky beat me to it!! I was thinking of the cat game also.
How do you folks track comments in this new imbedded format? I used to go back to when I last checked and could see what has been posted up to the curret time. Now I can’t find stuff because it is imbedded.
Anyone have a trick with dealing with this since I guess we’re sticking with the new format.
Nope … as one of my drill sergeants used to tell us:
“Gentlemens, just do the best you can.”

Commander Phil Monkress at All-Points Logistics is still avoiding calls seeking clarification of his military, Native American and law enforcement claims.
Numbers (that are provided by the HR Department) that you call just “hang up”. Some people that you speak with refer to him as “Commander” Monkress; others state they do not know him, all employees under his company’s directory, I might add. And they constantly refer you to other employees when you ask for him.
Yeah. Phildo has lost all control. He is getting as much out of APL as he possibly can and the I can only imagine he will disappear.
Great leadership for a taxpayer-funded, government entity.
Commander Monkress is setting the standard.
He wrote the book.
MEOW.
Once a douchenozzle, always a douchenozzle.
MEOW
Aside from the joy that the Tournament brings to all
Does everyone think it is safe to say that Bernath pretty much has it wrapped up this year?
He’s not too tightly wrapped to begin with, so wrapped it up for the year? I don’t know. Someone else could dislodge his standing. The real question is: should he be expected to outweight VaJayJay, theChevy Chevette Scooter, the Round Marine Tiemann, Gweggy Banks, and/or da Churchmannn.
I think those are the top seeds.
MEOW.
I said two weeks ago to just send the trophy to his house or trailer. OVER!
I don’t know. ChevaLiar is sure trying to pull an upset. OVER
It’s Bernath, with Denni-Boi in a close second, but Dennis still has sometime to catch up.
Bernath is my pick. He is stupid, slimy, litigious and probably clinically insane. In other words, the perfect stolen valor champion.
MEOW
OVER
After following the Bernath and several of his compatriot threads, I honestly have to say y’all are awesome! Best takedowns I have ever seen. I hold my vote secret though 😉
Your forgot to say Over,
Meow…
MEOW.
MEOW MEOW MEOW.
MEOW.
MEOW MEOW. MEOW.
MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
KA-A-A-AAKA-AA-AK! WHEEEEEZ! MEOW!!!
Ex MEOW back to you m’lady. Thanks for fronting with me for “The Weekend Open Thread”. It’s all over now. Jokes, humor, little tidbits. I love Weekend Open Thread time! OVER.
I give full credit to you, Sparks.
All my respect Ex. Again, proud to know you. You’re the best! And yea…I truly do think the Navy and all honorable Navy vets like you…ROCK, big time!
What is this “MEOW” thing?
Did I miss something?
Comrades in Arms: Just a few moments ago, while surfing the Internet, I was checking my videos at the YOU TUBE web site to see if anyone new had watched my homemade amateur video recordings of ME (!) strumming my guitar and singing (and yes, SOMEONE has been watching!). As I did so, I was alerted to another of Don Shipley’s videos exposing fraudulent Navy SEALs. That’s when it hit me! I can claim some of this phony glory for myself! Did you know I was almost a SEAL? It’s true. When I was nineteen, I was working at the Travelodge Motel in Raleigh, North Carolina, and on a Sunday afternoon, the employees had a party at the motel’s swimming pool. At the time, I did not know how to swim. But, after experimenting, I accidentally discovered that I could easily and effectively swim if I completely submerged myself underwater. At first, I did this only in the shallow end of the pool, but as I became bolder, I was soon doing my underwater swimming in the deep end, as well, repeatedly swimming the length of the pool, over and over. I was completely alone in the swimming pool, as all the other folks had gone inside the owner’s apartment. Well, things went just great until, all of a sudden, as I entered the deep end for the umpteenth time, I became physically exhausted, and needed some air. Alas, but I only had figured out how to swim completely submerged, and didn’t yet know how to get my head above the surface, in order to breathe. I panicked, sinking to the bottom of the pool, standing erect, and trying to walk to the pool’s edge. I couldn’t breathe, but instead, swallowed water and passed out. The next thing I knew, I was pushed up onto the deck of the swimming pool, and lying face down, feeling hands pressing on my back, water rushed out of my mouth. Later, I learned that the boss’s daughter had stepped outside, and seeing me lying on the bottom of the pool, she screamed. Alerted… Read more »
John Robert Mallernee I went in the Army instead of the Navy because I almost drowned as a kid. I could not swim and was scared of deep water. I figured out I could dig a foxhole quicker than I could shit an island!
Hey Sparks, that’s funny shit! Mind if I use it, as a guy that went Army cuz I was afraid of water…?
Gotta go till the garden- y’all rock!
over…damn, that was close, over, out
Lurker Curt. Have at it with my blessings!
Pardon me, I too forgot…OVER!
@John Robert Mallernee
I trained for 10 months with the 12th ACR at Ft. Carson, CO in 66-67 before shipping out to 11th ACR in RVN.
Must be part of the same unit, do you think? The 12th’s shoulder patch was a red diamond.
@ LIRight:
The 12th Cavalry Regiment doesn’t have a shoulder patch, as their battalions (or squadrons) are assigned to larger commands, such as the 1st and 2d Battalions were part of the 1st Cavalry Division.
Their Distinctive Unit Insignia (i.e., “Unit Crest”) is a green cactus on a yellow shield, supported by a scrolled ribbon with the words, “Semper Paratus”.
The red diamond shoulder patch is the Fifth Infantry Division (Mechanized) which had their 1st Brigade at Quang Tri, Republic of Viet Nam.
When I was at Dong Ha, the cavalry unit stationed there was the 3/5th Cavalry, and they wore the 9th Infantry Division shoulder patch (i.e., “cookie cutter” or “flower power”).
Anyway, that was then, and this is now, and things change, so the 12th Cavalry Regiment might be anywhere.
When I was in the 2/12th Cavalry, it was configured as Mechanized Infantry, but now, they are configured as Armor, equipped with M-1 Abrams tanks.
Irish mythology. No … they were the Vikings who believed that mumbo jumbo crap. We … Irish kicked there asses.
Great story though!
OVER
Master Chief,
Perhaps the Vikings passed that lore to the Irish; after all, they occupied lots of Ireland and Scotland (and in England as Normans after 1066; and Ireland again after 1172).
The Scots have the legend of the “Silkie” — half-human, half-seal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selkie
The Corries singing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSxrH8yYI_E
An earthly nourris [nurse] sits and sings
And as she sings, “Ba lily wean [child]
Little ken [know] I, my bairnie’s [baby’s] father
Far less the land that he steps in.”
Then in steps he to her bed fit
And a grumlie [gloomy] guest I’m sure was he
Sang “Here am I, thy bairns father”
Although I be not comely
I am a man upon the land
And I am a silkie in the sea
And when I’m far and far from land
My home it is in Sule Skerry”
Then he has taken a purse of gold
And he has laid it on her knee
Saying, give to me, my little young son
And take me up thy nouriss-fee.
It shall come to pass on a summer’s day
When the sun shines hot on every stone
That I shall take my little young son
And teach him how to swim the foam
And thou shalt marry a proud gunner
And a proud gunner I’m sure he’ll be
And the very first shot that e’er he’ll shoot
he’ll kill both my young son and me.
Alas, Alas, the maiden cried
This weary fate’s been laid for me
And then she said and then she said
I’ll bury me in Sule Skerry.

See the movie, “THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH”.
You’ll like it.
I think I saw it on the HBO channel, or the SHOWTIME channel, or maybe it was on the ENCORE channel.
Anyway, it’s a good movie about an Irish legend.
The secret of Roan Innish was that it was home.
And when you leave home, things don’t work the way they should.
i love the VA-
hey your dad needs his foot amputated!
day before surgery, hey he needs more cardiac tests.
waiting…
oops now he has a UTI that turned into urosepsis and the doc said if he can’t have surgery in the next 2 weeks we get to start the process all over.
korea95 So sorry for your Dad. He is in my prayers. Thank him for serving and you as well. I hope he heals up and gets the treatment he needs soon brother.
From the Moochelle Obama front, the suite that she, her kids and her mother are currently occupying in Beijing, is costing the taxpayers $8350 per night. That is NOT the cost for the rooms for her staff of hairdressers, arm toners, make-up artistes and secret service guys who may want to eat their guns, just being around them. Not to mention the cost of the USAF plane that will fly them around, and the follow-on flights for the limos and staff.
Glad the country is in such great shape financially.
Oh, and Moms Mabley, the FLOTUS mom, is really impressing the folks in China. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2586367/Beijing-hotel-workers-fed-Obama-entourage-3400-square-foot-8-350-night-suite-inconveniencing-pretty-ladys-mother-barking-staff.html
Her mother looks like she is hating on life in the photos I have seen.
What an absolute shame. Yet another vacation for fun and no business at our expense. “Mom” looks and acts like your typical, “entitled mentality” person. (As does most of Obama’s extended family on both sides.) As the article reads, they have been “barking” at the staff since they arrived. I wonder what the Chinese take away from this as far as Americans in general are concerned and black Americans in particular. Yea they are really putting on their best faces and behaviors as representatives of our nation to a foreign people. Makes me completely ashamed to say they are part of our government “family” especially the “First Family”. Thanks Michelle and mom and kids for another black eye for the American people and our image to the world! I mean where does ugly ass “mom” get off barking at anyone! She is a guest! A guest of the Chinese but more importantly, a guest on our taxpayer dollars. Dip shits, every one of them! (I got money says, “mom” can’t even spell “Chinese” off the top of her head in three tries!)
Is this an updated version of ‘The Ugly American’?
Yes Ex good example. Everywhere they go, I think the same thing. Except when Barack is traveling it becomes, “The Ugly and Stupid American”.
Well, crap. Looks like they are wearing out their welcome. And I was hoping the Chinese would keep them.

@ MCPO NYC USN Ret.:
Scotland, Ireland, and Northern England were all repeatedly invaded, conquered, and ruled by Vikings, for almost as many years as the Irish, Scots, and Anglo-Saxons ruled their own soil.
Thus, the mythology is all scrambled up throughout the islands.
Did you know the kilt was a Norse invention, adopted by Highlanders?
Did you know that Dublin was founded by Vikings?
The Scots and Danes would alternately fight and/or intermarry, so there was a saying,
“They were forever putting rings on each other’s fingers, and knives at each other’s throats.”
As a baby, I was adopted, giving me twice the ancestry and twice the heritage of most folks.
Through my biological father, I’m Anglo-Saxon, and from his Scottish grandmother, I’m now part of Clan MacEanrich (i.e., Clan Henderson).
But, my blood is at least fifty-percent Viking, for my biological mother’s parents immigrated from Denmark.
In my adopted family, my father’s ancestry is Cherokee (fifty-percent!), French Huguenot, and Irish.
My mother’s ancestry is Scots-Irish, or, in Northern Ireland, as they prefer to be called, “Ulster Scots”.
Even though my father was fully half Cherokee, I can never be, for Cherokee law does not recognize adoptions unless the adoptee was physically born with American Indian blood, which I have none of.
Here’s the URL for my Viking heritage:
http://writesong.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-danish-blood.html
There you go again John … I will say this again: the Irish were there first, the Vikings came and we kicked their asses and I have never seen the Vikings participate in the Olympic games … So it stands to reason the Vikings were no different than the Romans and Egyptians in that regard.
But if you what to read some real Irish history … Take this from a well read MCPO whose parents are from Dublin, read “How the Irish Saved Civilization” by Cahill.
Then come back and talk Gaelic smack!
Gaidhlag?
Okay, man. Here you go.
I LOVE Karen Matheson!
Sean Connery says she has the voice of an angel.
She is my favorite singer.
I especially love it when she sings in Gaidhlig.
For anyone with Scottish ancestry, here is the URL for an important and informative newsletter:

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, but it’s almost MIDNIGHT, only a few short minutes from now!
At the “CHICAGO SUN TIMES” web site, I’ll be able to do the “SATURDAY STUMPER” crossword puzzle!
Also, I reckon I better take my medicine and eat a real nice sandwich from the mess hall.
By the way, a couple of days ago, I got a new DVD of the movie, “THE SARATOV APPROACH”.
Boy, oh boy, oh boy, but that was a grrrr-REAT movie!
It’s a TRUE story about Mormon missionaries kidnapped in Russia.
So, go get your own DVD and watch it.
Speaking Of Ancestry,, Has anyone done the Ancestrydotcom or any other DNA tests?
I recently did mine found out I was,,
31% Western European ( Germany, France, Austria, Northern most parts of Italy Spain, Parts of Denmark, Belguim, Netherlands, Etc)
23% Irish centered around Ireland of course, but parts of Northern England have simular DNA
14% Scandinavian Sweden, Norway, These guys raided and settled in Northern France, England and Ireland.
14% Italian/ Greek… clueless how that came up, Im one while Mo-fo.
10% Britain, as in Native to the Island,, the Angles and Saxons were actually Western European, and have different DNA then the original inhabitants,
5% Eastern European,,,, Polish, Slav, Belorus, Ukranian, Romanian, Hungarian.
2% North African,,,, Morocco, Algeria, Libya. Again WTF. Looking at my white ass it dont show.
Trace ammounts,,, Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain) and Askenazi Jew
So, your related to Psual? Kidding.
Just had to throw it into the mix…
Psul was like 100% M16 Hapolite Norwegian bullshit, or so he said
Haplogroup i1r1 — Viking — “I” for Iceland, I guess.
Normans were viking [norseman] descendants who occupied what is now Normandy, France. Our patrinomic was part of the Norman visitation of England in 1066; then in 1172 went over to hold Ireland for Henry II. Long documented history that has a huge genealogic hole between 1650 and 1850. If only I ever could find those records!!!!
Still, it is interesting to find my haplogroup is viking.
Poer Abú!
–ghp
Did you know that DNA tests are no longer completely reliable and infallible?
I was watching a crime show on television, and learned that DNA evidence can easily be manipulated and distorted by any undergraduate college chemistry major.
Did you see on the news some months back, where Danish scientists used DNA to show that everybody with blue eyes (like ME!) has a common ancestor who lived in the area of the Black Sea in Russia?
Just An Old Dog. How much did the DNA test cost you? I would be interested in doing that. People have been calling me dumb for years and I need some “heritage” to say otherwise. 😀
Sparks,
I got mine through ancestrydotcom for 99 bucks. They have specials once in a while, but thats pretty much the standard.
They say it takes about 6 weeks but mine was only 4.
Pretty simple, They send you a small vialfor a saliva sample. once you put it in the tube you shake it and theres a preservative that stablizes it. You mail it off in a container they send you,
It’s probably not 100%, as nothing is perfect.
I will say that it matched very close to my ancestry search as far a regions go.
Another thing with the one I used is that it connects you with other people who have accounts so you can compare trees. I has over 2,000 people that could be related by DNA, and several share common ancestors with me.
Just An Old Dog. I just saw your reply. Thank you very much. I think I will avail myself of this. I am very curious about these things, getting to the age I am. Plus my much younger son, is already interested in his ancestry. Thanks again my friend.
I’ve never shared this before because it’s classified and I can’t talk about it. I enlisted in the Army, June 1965. By the way, “3/17 Air Cav” was only a low class High school freshman back then. (sarc.)
I was sent to Fort Ord for basic. During our second week, a detachment of Navy SEALS came in and hand picked several of us. That night they treated us to a BIG dinner at Taco Bell, all you could eat! The next morning we had to pass the 100 meter swim test. I went first. Thanks to Taco Bell’s dinner I did a 0.9 sec. 100 meter gas propelled swim and cracked the pool cement at the far end. Needless to say since I had a concussion I was sent back to the Army Basic, after they gave me an “Honorary Seal Trident” and recommended I get a Trident tattoo. The SEAL TEAM did mention I might consider a transfer to the Navy as a torpedo due to my gas propelled speed.
Another guy that was recruited was someone named “Psual”. After that night of stuffing all that Taco Bell had to offer…
It was Psual’s turn.
He jumped into the pool. sunk to the lower depths and the back of his trunks exploded in a manner that you would not ever want to witness. He was recommended to transfer to the Navy as an acoustical mine. They told him he could take out the whole Iranian Navy with one detonation.
There was a third one. His name was berbut, or bermath or something like that. He went on to become the Navy’s top most Honorary CPO. If you ever have a problem with McDonald’s in Oregon (like you only got 5 instead of 6 chicken wings)he’s the guy to call for a lawsuit
Anyway, it’s all Super Top Secret so I better not talk abut this stuff anymore.
You and I must be about the same age.
1965 was when I almost drowned, and I was nineteen years old at the time.
If I hadn’t been kicked out of school, I probably would have graduated from high school the same year you did.
That was the year (1965) I was finally released from years of hell in the state mental hospital, a grown man with no skills, education, or training, but psychologically twisted by my enforced constant, close associations with psychotic sociopaths, criminals, perverts, and deviants.
Later, after converting to the Mormon faith, the young men in the church literally took me physically by the hand, teaching me how to walk like a normal human being, and how to speak in a normal tone of voice.
Luckily, two years later, on Pearl Harbor Day, Thursday 07 December 1967, I succeeded in being drafted into the United States Army, and two years after that, after reenlisting, I landed at Cam Ranh Bay, Republic of Viet Nam, on Friday 12 December 1969.
I spent two years in the Republic of Viet Nam, serving at Phu Lam (in Saigon), Dong Ha (on the DMZ), and Camp Eagle (between Hue and Phu Bai).
Nifty, huh?
I’ve sure been blessed.
Fort Ord was where I was stationed after returning from Viet Nam.
Actually, I was stationed ninety miles away at Hunter Liggett Military Reservation (now Fort Hunter Liggett), but our headquarters was at Fort Ord, and Fort Ord was where I attended Mormon church services each Sabbath.
Also, the hospital at Fort Ord did lots of testing on me, trying to figure out what kind of undiscovered contamination, infection, allergy, or parasite that I might have picked up while I was in Viet Nam, a condition for which I continue to take medication to this very day.
Finally, they referred me to the Mental Hygiene Clinic, but I refused to go.
At the time, my unit was Instrumentation Company, Combat Developments Experimentation Command (CDEC).
That was where I learned to drive, got my first license, and bought my first car.
I also went through the Survival, Escape, Resistance,and Evasion (SERE) course at Hunter Liggett, and enjoyed seeing experimental stuff being tested, such as the Cheyenne helicopter, and flechette ammunition (each round consisted of THREE flechettes) for the M-60 machine gun.
Loud early morning laughter! Lots of it!
Thank you, BinhTuy66.
BinhTuy66 and on that note…I give you this. It really happened on the “Bachelorette” or some such show. Get ready!!!
Wrong thread Sparks: that should have been posrted in the popular teen thread “I should have listened more closely mom at dinner and the teacher in BIO 101”.
Master Chief. Well it was BinhTuy66 who brought up the crap in the pool story, posted above. I just added some visuals for full training value effect! 😀 Love ya Master Chief. (But I’m not gay!)
Just for the record, in June 1965, I was a soon to be “Low Class” senior in high school. (Smile)
Just for the record, in June 1965, I was a soon to be “Low Class” senior in high school. (Smile)
@ BinhTuy66:
ROFLOL ! ! !
Good one!
Well played!
Good evening, TAH. Hope this weekend finds you well. Well, I got to thinking about phonies tonight, and I thought about how a lot of these guys seem to be displaying a lot of the same obvious dog whistles that veterans know to call out phonies on when they see. So, here’s my idea; let’s take that massive combined amount of knowledge you folks possess and collect into one blog header at the top of the page, like Hondo and Jonn did with the FOIA records process. It could be subdivided into obvious tells about badge/medal claims, campaign claims, status claims (POW, SEAL, Delta, etc.), and secrecy/classified claims (i.e., what can be classified and what cannot). Just seems like a shame that the collective treasure trove of poser-busting knowledge you folks have isn’t on prominent display. Here’s my (extremely limited) knowledge of the easy things phonies always seem to screw up. And since we’re trying to make these things easy to understand for average civilians like me, please try to keep acronyms, etc. to a minimum or explain them if at all possible. Badges/Medals The Combat Infantryman Badge (henceforth referred to by its acronym CIB) is a highly prestigious US Army award signifying that the recipient has served in a time and place of war and seen combat as an infantryman. Unfortunately, no self-respecting phony soldier wouldn’t try to claim this medal because it is a). highly prestigious, and b). is generally a prerequisite for claiming other decorations for valor since the overwhelming majority of these are awarded to combat infantrymen (although not all). Many of these phonies will also claim two or even three-award CIB, the most prestigious ones of all. Here is an easy way to spot the posers who claim more than one award of the CIB. CIB’s are awarded in the following way: the Department of Defense has designated three time periods that cover all US wars in which infantrymen served in combat. The award periods are as follows: 7 December 1941 – 3 September 1945 for World War Two, 27 June 1950 – 27 July… Read more »
First I could of sworn no one alive rates the 3rd award of the CIB. Secondly I’ve seen Infantrymen earn the CIB in Panama and the CIB in the Persian Gulf War. Now the Marine Corps CAR is a little different, in the GWOT you can earn two awards if you were involved in combat operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
I’d like to also say that when you post informative stuff like that the stolen valor shit sacks get a good way to get their story. They will take what they can get.
2/16: service in Panama and Desert Storm would only qualify for one CIB. Both technically fall in the “Vietnam” CIB period – which ran for slightly over 44 years (Mar 1961 – Mar 1995). Only 1 award of the CIB is authorized for qualifying service in any period, regardless of the number of times one qualifies. A 2nd award of the CIB requires qualifying service in a different defined CIB period.
All known 3-time recipients of the CIB are WW-II (period, 1941-1945), Korea (period, 1950-1953), and Vietnam (1961-1995). This is due to the extreme length (slightly over 44 years) of the Vietnam CIB period.
The National Infantry Museum maintains an unofficial list of known 3-time CIB recipients. The list numbers 324 individuals, and is available on Wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Infantryman_Badge#The_list
It’s possible that one or more of these individuals is still alive.
Due to the extreme length of the Vietnam CIB period, it is not plausible for someone to qualify for a 3rd award of the CIB today. That individual would have served as an infantryman in direct ground combat in a unit of brigade or smaller size (1) no later than 1953, (2) between 1961 and 1995, and (3) in 2001.
That in turn means he would have served as an infantryman at 17, in his 20s (Vietnam) – and at age 65 or older in Afghanistan in late-2001 – or older if in Iraq.
I don’t think that’s even legally allowable today. I believe Federal law limits service in other than Medical and Chaplain fields to age 60, with the exception of the National Guard (age 64).
In any event – had that happened, we’d damn well have heard about it.
“the Department of Defense has designated three time periods that cover all US wars in which infantrymen served in combat”
Correction appended: four time periods, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and GWOT. If I made any factual errors, please correct.
Now, here’s the obvious tell; to be eligible for three awards of the CIB, a person would have to have served in Korea in WWII
And do just quietly ignore this sentence…
Yeah I saw that one.. read it a few times to make sure I didnt have the dumbs, then moved on…

My Day,
I wake up, My dog (Onyx) is looking at me as if to say, well its about time. I have been waiting and BTW we need bacon this morning. She says that every morning. But today we are doing country ham and red eye gravy. She likes that. SO here I am cooking breakfast and the Dog went back to sleep. I often wonder how long it took her to train me.
I have had her for 13 years, I found her on the side of the road, not much more than skin and bones with no fur and covered with scabs. She came right up to me, with that same look, like I have been waiting for you. That first night, After her trip to the vet and a good bath she was shivering. I’m a sucker so I put her in bed with me and she got under the covers. That may have been when she started training me.
Where is this link you want me to check out?

I did screen shots of all of that.
Does bubblebrain not-a-genius bernutsky even consider that there are MANY peopl with the name Scott Hughes?
Is is not a particularly unusual name.
Damned if Bernath ain’t double batshit crazy!
I am tracking very closely on all of this!
He knows he has the wrong Scotty. But that doesn’t matter to him. T
He tries to pull the molester card anytime he gets caught in a lie.
Bernath is a public figure, he will claim freedom of speech but the part he doesn’t get is there are limits to that freedom. Known false statements, and “Fighting Words” are not protected.
On this forum I have yet to see a member do either of these, however its part of Bernaths regular mode.
It is understood that while I may say Bernath is a Dickweed, The meaning behind that is “In my opinion Danial Bernath is a Dickweed.
By his intentional deception and calling people with no record of Molesting or abuse “Child Molesters ” crossed the line from freedom of speech to Libal and has with out a doubt uttered Fighting Words.
Enigma4you Being raised in North Carolina, oh how I miss “real” country ham and red eye gravy. Momma…I miss you still!
I want to know how to make red-eye gravy.
I can do sausage gravy and bacon gravy, but haven’t found anything on red-eye gravy. Don’t you have to drop something in the center to get that red-eye effect?
No whiskey on hand, so don’t say whiskey.
I make it with either country ham or when I bake a ham.
Country ham I let brown in a frying pan, add 1/2-1 cup of water, let it reduce then add about some strong black coffee, 2-3 table spoons or to taste.
Baked ham I use the drippings, ya know that stuff that looks like jelly after is cools, warm it and add some coffee to taste.
The eye is the drippings after they settle in the fat. I get rid of most of the fat.
Thank you!

I just ran a check on the name Scott Hughes. There are quite a few individuals with that name.
One of them is running as the conservative candidate for the Tennessee State Senate.
Another is an attorney in Orange County, SoCal, and then there’s a singer/songwriter and film producer from Texas.
And these are only a few of the Scott Hugheses in the world.
It just makes bernath, the glowing cankerblossom on Satan’s backside, look stoopider and stoopider than he was at the start.
Bernath never had anything before, but he shot whatever he thought he had straight to hell with this child molester business. Wonder if Dallas helped him cross that line… But if you have evidence of Dallas contributing to the molester nonsense, that’s a rather easy lawsuit for whoever was targeted. Their counterclaim will be ridiculous, but like you say, not pretty.
In a previous life, a nut attacked me online as a traitor working for Israel. I went after him hard and he was forced to use all his websites apologizing to me and correcting the “record.”
Oh dear God. So this is what you get when you take infinite stupidity and divide by zero.
Daniel A. Bernath is the typical Shyster Lawyer. Lies like a rug and thinks that everyone else will too. Rather than bore y’all with our e-mail back and forth, I did pull all his references to “Cafe Express”, which is not a part of “Cafepress”, that he used in e-mails to me in the last couple of days.
He is definitely riding ThE sHoRtBuS #41 to his special ed class room, with his arms folded, rocking back and forth, and wantonly licking the big glass window.
He wants me to claim that Judge Hyatt caused me to put his wanted poster in my online shop. What would Cafe Express think of him demeaning their name like this:

QUESTION
What year did the Military stop using the 1988 version of the dd-214 ?
I had a ” forged ” dd-214 sent to me yesterday. The clown was a Basic training washout in 2010 according to his FOIA. But he sends a dd-214 giving him credit for 2 and 1/2 years. He earned the Afghanistan Service Medal too. Whatever that is.
Ga-a-a-adammit! I’m going to change mine so that it say my rate was DGR (Doorgunner) and that I was discharged at Utopia Planetia at Mars Base XXII.
I’m tired of these wankers trying to steal my gloryhole.
Ex…can I pleeeease go the Mars Base XXII with you? Pleeeeease! I always wanted to go but have to have a known Mars Base XXII vet to vouch for me. I promise I will keep your door gun clean and fully loaded with space invader ammo!
Ex-PH2 …. do you have your official NASA Space Shuttle Door Gunner cert like Jonn has?
If not (and I think you don’t), then you know how to contact the NASA training department. They’ll send one to you if needed.
–ghp
Ex if you need some help, Dennis Chevalier can make some calls for you for all things NASA and SETI. 😀
No wait EX. That is ONLY of you are taking a C-130 to Mars Base XXII.
I have something better than a piece of paper.
I have my squadron badge.
Right on EX!
I’ve seen known-valid DD214’s on the Nov1988 form from as late as Nov2003. However, my last 3 DD214s (2006, 2008, and 2009) are all on the Feb2000 form. Moreover, sometime in 2009 the form changed again. Not sure if there’s been another change to the DD214 since then – I don’t think so, but don’t know for sure.
I would regard any alleged DD214 dated in 2010 but using the Nov1988 form as having a very high probability of being a forgery. That version of the form is now at least 2 versions behind the current one.
If you send me a copy via e-mail, I’ll see what I can figure out.
@ Hondo, Et Alii:
As I was being discharged, we were advised to register our DD-214 at the County Clerk’s office, which I did, and I also learned that my Form 20 from my 201 File is more important than the DD-214, for the Form 20 lists all training and assignments.
It’s the only thing I have which indicates exactly when and how I returned from the Republic of Viet Nam, for I cannot remember the date, but only the events.
I remember the date I got to Viet Nam, but not the date I left.
Odd, huh?
I think someone left the BS locker unsecure …
Dog that door down and throw a brass lock on it!
Better yet, weld the damn thing shut!
Better …
Then put it in a CONEX, weld THAT door shut, put it on a trailer, hook it up to one of those high-speed remote control trucks that was shown on this site a while back and then drive that into an abandoned quarry with a least 100 feet of water in it. That oughta secure it! Wait, do we have any phony salvage divers in our archive?

Just extended my subscription to http://www.concertvault.com. Some terrific music to listen to, watch, and download. I’m addicted to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band concerts…wish I could download ’em, but there’s lots of other good stuff to save for listening at your leisure.
HS Soph: Here’s a link to a soldier who received the DSC and SEVEN Silver Stars. His name is Charles E. Getz. He is alive and, I hope, well and living about 10 miles from me and, I’m guessing, 20 or so miles from Jonn. Brigadier General Getz, US Army (Retired) is one bad ass SOB. If you ever want to learn about leadership, you can do much worse than to focus on him.
http://projects.militarytimes.com/citations-medals-awards/recipient.php?recipientid=4599
2/17 Air Cav. I have read Getz’s bio. What a soldier!
Minor quibble, HS Sophomore: BG Getz was awarded one DSC, six (6) Silver Stars, and one Soldier’s Medal. The last is awarded for exceptional acts of non-combat heroism.
Well, I figured that this would be as good a time and place to mention this as any……
I did mention this in passing on one of the Karzai threads but will put it down here.
As of next weekend I will be mobilizing in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and will be going to that paradise of Southwest Asia sometime this summer. As some of you may remember, I am an Army Engineer officer and have served as an NCO in an Engineer Squadron in the Indiana Air National Guard, having deployed to Iraq in 2009. I will be leading a Vertical Engineer platoon and will be conducting Pre-MOB followed by MOB training for the next couple of months. I don’t know how much free time I will have to keep up with the fun on this site but I will try to drop in from time to time. Hopefully I will be able to vote in this year’s tournament and I hope we have a Clash of the Titans for the final (Birdbath vs. Chevette). This blog has provided quite a bit of laughter but also seems to have a lot of dust that seems to get into my eyes from time to time. Although I have yet to meet any of you in person (except for Michael Z. Williamson), I feel that I have known you guys all my life because I see in this assortment of rogues many of the folks with whom I have served. In a sense, this is a digital home away from home. Keep up the skeer on these posers and I will drop a line when time permits.
Mustange 2LT~
Sending light and love to you and your family…please keep yourself and troops safe…
Stay safe, Drop me and address and I will make sure to send you a care package from time to time.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Thank you Enigma. Also, let me say that your posts, including the one you did this morning serve as reminders to veterans and active military of who we are and where we came from. We need to ensure that our stories and traditions are told and passed on as was done with us. Your wordsmithing and that of others on this site is an important part of that and also serves to educate the public at large about stolen valor and other concerns of the men and women in uniform.
OVER!
Thank you TC. I most definitely appreciate the well-wishes and will pass them along.

I too would like to send a care package if needed or wanted. Or if you find a Soldier over there that needs something or doesn’t have anyone sending them stuff. That’s how I found TAH (and through Shipley) after I got taken with a scam organization that was suppose to send care packages to Soldiers that didn’t receive anything from home. Maybe you can leave contact information with Jonn? God speed and stay safe.
I forgot… Mewo!
I’ll miss you, Doughboy.
Thank you for the thought Ex-PH2. You and I make a good comedy team especially when I tag off of some of your comments. Your sense of comedic timing is epic. You leave enough out there for someone to come along and finish it up. Kind of like a military Bud Abbott! Oh, and just so there is no confusion as to when I’m done talking……..

Master Chief,
Thanks for the prayers and support. And of course, for the sage advice. Being a little older than the average LT, I have reached the realization that I do not know it all. Therefore, I will definitely take any advice from my Platoon Sergeant since he’s solid and been around the block (Desert Storm as a Marine and two tours in Iraq in the Guard) and I also have a Warrant Officer and 4 solid squad leaders that I can count on as well. I’m looking to take 40 soldiers out and bring 40 soldiers back.

What’s a “Vertical Engineer”? An engineer who hasn’t been drinking?
Seriously, good luck in the sandbox. Don’t take any wooden Afghani!
An Engineer who hasn’t been drinking? No such thing. 🙂
Seriously, an Army Engineer Battalion typically consists of one Company of Horizontal Engineers (heavy equipment such as bulldozers, graders, scrapers, excavators, etc.), one Company of Combat Engineers, and one Company of Vertical Engineers (plumbers, electricians, carpentry/masonry). It may include a detachment of Technical Engineers (surveyors and topographical types).

I won’t tell you to “stay safe” – that’s not possible in a bona fide combat zone, as the enemy has a vote in that. But I will tell you (in best SGT Esterhaus fashion) – “Hey, be careful out there.”
And make your men do the same.

After reading all the excrement that Smeggy Bernath has been discharging against Scotty, TSO, Frankly O and others, I just want you to know, that I have set aside some dollars for the LDF when needed…just say the word.
I know that we have a good time exercising our creative language, but it seems play time is over with his latest attacks.
I also know that i am pretty new here and you are still vetting me as being worthy to be a part of the gang and i am good with that…However..having been on the receiving end of false charges, I know how horrible it can be. So I offer the only thing I have available…my support in whatever way is needed…I am sending light and love to each and every one of you and prayers for strength that everyone here gets through this relatively unscathed. Play time is over and this bastard needs to pay in whatever way the courts see fit.
So with that, I offer my friendship to you all and reiterate, that whatever I can do, I will be more than happy to help, contribute etc.
Should anyone like to be pals on FB, you can find me at Kellie OS or email at beeanbag1313@yahoo.com.

I replaced the Greater than and less than signs as the first and last characters then put it in quotes lets see if that make the HTML coding show
Ok…let me start over..I’m a little confused..are you wanting to post the actual video instead of the link, or are you trying to use the embedded link to post?
I was trying to embed, it would still be hosted at youtube or where ever nut would allow to change formatting and ect.
just pasting the URL will show the video here. so I guess thats good enough
Well it looks like you figured it out…I only know how to code the link so its not live here on this page…it would have to be copied and pasted into the browser to view it…that or just paste the link the way you did..sorry wasn’t much help…

Wouldn’t have guessed you as a Katy Perry fan, Kinda old ET1. But she is (as the old saying goes) “easy on the eyes” as well as talented. (smile)
Very easy…
I find it rather amusing that a few of our residential dripheads (and that is being very nice about it) have been very quiet lately. A little too quiet if you ask me. I admit I am a wee concerned that at least one of them is up to something.
They may be consulting with each other. But I say that with advisement, because it’s my considered opinion that, if more than one of them occupies any space (including internet space) at the same time, the universe will implode, a black hole will form, and a strange and deleterious effect will govern the laws of quantum mechanics for a long time.
But not to worry: NASA recently announced that there is now enough physical evidence of microwave radiation left over from dah Big Bang to allow ripples in time to form, thereby giving birth to multiple universes, each in its own bubble.
I want to move. Line forms on the right. Be there at 9AM on Monday.

All shits and giggles aside, is Dan the Mans lawsuits for real. Sitting here in the UK, and people telling me that they are being harrassed by him for my address so they can serve me. if I was in states I would make trip to meet him face to face. But 6000 miles to meet a loney isn’t my idea how I want to spend my vacation. So you guys that are dealing with him let me know the straight shit. Thanks
Ed Meeks, I doubt that bernutsky the dribblebirdbrain of Oregon has the power to do anything beyond make a complete nuisance of himself.
However, if it truly concerns you, you can and should consult with Jonn and TSO in this regard.
He likes to frighten people with threats and recrimination, but he starts these attacks with libelous remarks. His history as an attorney is suspect in itself. His credibility has been rapidly dropping.
H’mmm, been thinking. Since Bernutless is claiming Ft. Myers, as he said in an email to me yesterday:
“Good to hear the weather in the Florida Pan Handle is nice.
Here in Ft Myers its about 80 with a few clouds.”
Do you suppose that the driver of
tHe ShOrTbUs #41 will invite him up to Orange City to teach him how to get drunk and arrested for Drunk n Disorderly?
ShOrTbUsWiNdOwLiCkEr69 couldn’t teach a dog to link his own nuts. And, while I no longer party down, in my youth I needed no one to teach me how to raise hell. Burnutsless and Witlessfeld together just seems like Dumb and Dumber.
Considering his volatility, the load of pills he claims he’s taking, and the side effects of that stuff, I can see him getting into a serious tangle with a couple of Florida’s finest highway scouts and getting busted for popping hot on a drug test.
Now, wouldn’t that be just delicious?

Funny food story during my time in Vietnam. This happened not once, but twice.
The first time, one of our door gunners shoots a dear from the air. Helo lands and picks up said deer. It was about the size of a big dog. We get the mess hall guys involved. They bring all the condiments, including the beer. We have a grand Barbie on the flight line. Mighty tasty.
The second time different door gunner flying on a different smaller low bird helo, shoots a bigger deer from the air. Helo is too small to pickup said deer. We were in the air at the time flying a Huey. We land in a hostile area, and pick up the deer. Again a great Barbie, with the mess hall guys. Again they bring all the fixins.
I think about those two stories all the time. Boy were we stupid. Still funny though.
Just in case “Dumb and Dumber” try anything cute, Jonn I offer to do any legwork or running around in the area you might need.
I’s be a sekreet!
Giggle snort burp fart
HEY! That squirrel sounds kinda familer…
I’d offer to do some legwork, but I don’t have any legs.
🙁
I can staple, punch holes, sort, and toss things into trash cans.
Oh, yeah, being a previously unknown member of an extremely Seeekrit Secret Squirrel team, I also know how to make hay while the sun shines.
Delilah forgot to mention that she also cooks.
MEOW.
I wonder if Phildo is in church this morning and how much he has removed from the offering plate?
It all starts somewhere, you know?
I dunno…..one would hope even Phildo wouldn’t be dumb enough to piss off Sky 6, but then he might.
Nah, he’s that stupid.
He is, like the rest of the “Brotherhood of the Stupid”, thinking Sky 6 is just focusing on only one of them. Like his not-so-monastic brethren, he forgets Sky 6 is everywhere.
But let’s give the not-so-monastic a home. I hear there’s plenty of room to build their sanctuary at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Would that be the Fortress of Nincompoops?
Large Fat Greedy Whiteeyes maybe heard thunder of Wakkan Tonka. Maybe saw lightning bolt to close to seat of his pants.
It explains why he hides from Green Thumb.
I find this new layout to be more of a hassle than an enjoyable experience. Hell, I can’t even get to all the comments when I open the post at its title.
Not asking to have it changed back as it isn’t my blog, just sayin’ that it is not the easy reading/commenting experience that the old format was. I catch myself coming here less often now, and then I will most likely just read the new posts and leave it at that.
+1. JMHO.
Frankly~
I generally just pick a recent post then go back a page or two to see if there are any new responses…I still miss stuff. Its a pain in the butt to go back through some threads that have a few hundred posts in the thread…it can be managed though.
@ Frankly Opinionated:
Yes, at first, this new format was tough for me to figure out, too.
But, little by little, with the passage of time, and some BIG help from Ex-PH2 (yesterday), I think I’ve become a wee bit more familiar and confident in using the new system.
Hang in there, and good luck to you!
Well, all. I just want to again say how much I appreciate the support and well-wishes from all of you here at TAH. I especially appreciate the offers to send care packages for my troops and I. I will pass the info along to my soldiers once we get in-country just to remind them that there’s some good people back home who have their back. This is what it is all about, veterans helping their own and is something that most civilians don’t undersand. The idea of taking time out of your day to help someone you’ve never met in person but have a bond with because of common experiences is foreign to most people but is one of those things we do without a second thought. Again, thanks for all your kind words, thoughts, and prayers and know they are appreciated.
Break:
Jonn or any other admin type, please send along my email address to anyone who asks for it.
Oh yeat, almost forgot…………..
OVER!
Man, oh, man.
It is raining turds today!
Burrell, Whilesssturd, Chevy.
I need a bath!
