Jerry Foster; the phony Navy Commander, Demented Magician
AverageNCO found this guy, Jerry Foster in the news in Simi Valley, California. He calls himself “The Demented Magician” and he entertains in the area with his little magic show. Magic is what his military career was. He claims to have spent 22 years in the Navy, retiring as a Navy Commander because of injuries he claims that he sustained in the Persian Gulf War and again in the war against terror;
Two articles at the Simi Valley Acorn have disappeared from the internet since AverageNCO talked to the journalist about Foster;
Foster put in 22 years, retiring as a commander in 2002 due to injuries he sustained during tours in the Gulf War and Desert Storm. The master EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) technician—a special operations job—has two Purple Hearts: one from a bullet wound and one from a land mine.
“The second one was the one that tore me up. That was a mine that I lost an EOD man to. He was ahead, I was behind,” Foster said. “It tore my legs to pieces.”
During his 22-year military career, Foster served several tours in the Gulf War and Desert Storm, where he earned two Purple Hearts—one from a bullet wound and the other from a land mine explosion—and a number of other medals and commendations.
When a mine check mission went awry in 2002, Foster’s dreams of becoming a naval captain, a position attained after 25 years of service, were shattered.
After spending three months in a coma, the veteran said, he felt lost and had no idea what to do with his life. On top of that, he had PTSD, a mental illness that can be triggered by experiencing a terrifying event like war.
First of all, the Navy EOD Warrior online Memorial doesn’t list any Navy EOD folks killed in 2002.
The National Personnel Records Center disagrees with his version of his career trajectory;
The Navy says that he was an E-5 Hull Technician – “HT’s do the metal work necessary to keep all types of shipboard structures and surfaces in good condition. They also maintain shipboard plumbing and marine sanitation systems, repair small boats, operate and maintain ballast control systems.” Nothing about explosives. His only award was a Good Conduct Medal – no Bronze Stars, no Purple Hearts. I don’t know how he squeezed in three tours of the Gulf War, it only lasted a few weeks – three years after he got out of the Navy. And if you don’t believe his records, he has a certificate for the war against terror;

But then, so does Average NCO’s dog;
The editor of the newspaper that did the articles about him says that Foster admitted that he couldn’t prove any of his narrative, so they pulled the stories. And, in case you’re wondering, The Demented Magician is planning on taking his stolen valor to the grave;
Added 5-16-2016; Foster admitted to DAV that he was deceitful in the wearing of unauthorized awards and rank and he’s promised them that he won’t do it again. He hasn’t admitted it to us, but here;

Turd Chaser gone wild
I’m thinkin’ the fella gave himself some electroshock therapy a couple of times via being rather careless while arc-welding.
must have caught up to his Facebook page because it’s gone poof! too…
The above link isn’t working, but his Facebook page is still there. He just posted some of his magic stuff. Of course he hasn’t addressed any the information on here.
Guess he didn’t know Navy EODers are also Parachutists and Hard Hat divers. Maybe he was just too modest to mention those parts of his hardcore occupational specialty.
I kinda doubt it since he likes to rawk the full size medals and ribbon rack on the same clownsuit.
…ooops…those are mini medals, shoulda put my glasses on before typing.
Assclown wears submarine dolphins along with an EOD badge. Must be an expert in defusing those thermonuclear IED’s that the bad guys use in Shitturdistan. Also, saw that he had two periods of LIMDU listed on his Page 4 – maybe he was a sick bay commando?
HT in Navy slang is also known as a “turd chaser”. Jerry Foster took a serious shit all over his honorable service… and I hope when he meets his late wife in the afterlife, she kicks a bone out of his ass for being a SV embellisher!
Jerry Foster = Turd Chaser
Looks like cutlasses to me Senior….after I put on mah glasses.
You be right… need to get the eyes checked and probably new specs soon…
Senior, that is the SWO device this dipshit is wearing. As a SWO, I would like to speak for all SWO’s and say “give me me my surface warfare insignia back”. You haven’t suffered through the mind numbing watch standing or the endless beatings from the morale suppression team required to wear that device. Oh man, I never thought I’d live to see this day. Somebody pretending to be a SWO. I am almost giddy with excitement. Guess he picked that warfare insignia knowing that nobody in their right mind would wear that as a poser. Also, Jonn, sorry for hitting the report comment button. I was just too excited about someone wearing my warfare insignia with such poser pride I started clicking stuff. I couldn’t help myself.
I just wish our SWO poser didn’t have to be a creepy tickle monster looking MoFo. “Demented magician indeed. Demented like Jared demented.
Actually it looks like both to me. The top photo with him marching in the poorly fitting jacket looks like it has dolphins attached. The rest look like skimmer crap.
Pretty sure that’s an SWO badge.
Looks Like the SpecOps badge. Officer Badge for EOD before the 07 change.
Then again before the Officer realignment for EOD you had to be a SWO to trans to EOD.
Yep..
I don’t think it’s the Special Operations Officer badge…I enlarged the pics and if you look at them you can see the symmetry of the swords and absence of crab and bubble…I think it’s just a SWO pin…not that it matters which badge he never earned he’s actually wearing incorrectly
Hey I can say that is a left coast turd chaser— did not see them on the east coast like this! 🙂 Turd chaser-turned Damage Control.
and there is no bubblehead stuff on him at least he was not claiming that too!
A note on that certificate. Foster displays one on his wall on his Facebook page. To demonstrate the value of those certificates I was able to order the same cert for my basset hound Artie who you can see proudly posing with his “proof” that he has the same imaginary Afghanistan service as Foster.
Now thass fekking funny!
I didn’t know you could get a real farkin’ certification for that stuff. I’m getting one for my teddy bear or my cat. The bear has a sword and everything, and the cat has a bunch of ribbons and medals. They might as well get a certificate, too.
That certificate is from Tiffany Publishing and can be found here: http://tiffanypublishing.com/certificates/operation-enduring-freedom/
For $26.75 you too can be a poser with a cool looking certificate.
(Tiffany does not appear to demand any proof of service claims and just wants the money.)
Tiffany Publishing, that’s where the Navy gets shellback, plank owner, golden dragon, blue nose etc certs…the real certs though have embossed gold foil seals from the unit issuing them as well as appropriate signatures. They just get Tiffany to do the Name/Rank, long/lat, date stuff when they order them.
My boat issued the entire crew copies of the Operation Iraqi Freedom certificate from Tiffany Publishing when we completed our deployment in 2003. I also received a Safari to Suez Certificate (Suez Canal Transit) from the boat in 1998. I went and ordered all the others that I participated in on my own. They look nice, but really don’t mean anything except as conversation starters. When I moved from one house to another with less wall space for my Love-Me wall, those certificates were the first thing I dropped from display for just that reason.
Checked my Shellback certificate. Yup, Tiffany Publishing.
I checked my certificate: Kellogg. AQnd it’s OFFICIAL, reading, “Dennis the Menace Fan Club.”
I believe you should get one for BOTH your teddy bear and cat. Otherwise, the one left out will feel slighted. Do the right thing; spend the bucks. /sarc
Aye aye, sir.
And remember what you were told abut neck tourniquets.
From a skit I saw a long time ago called the Punk Rock Magician: Pick a Card, any fucking card, put it in your fucking brain. Is this your card? No? Faquuu! It’s magic! I’m foolin you and you don’t like it!
I wouldn’t let this dude around children. He looks like a classic pederast. Fucking weirdo.
Yep.
I bet he tries to entice them by letting them play with his magic Phildo.
Maybe it’s part of his “Kinko the Clown” routine?
Creepy lookin’ fucktard, isn’t he?
Creepy or “demented?” Or is there really a difference? 😉
The Goodwill gave him that tie for free with the oversized clown suit.
Can I have that few minutes of my life back?
it tore my legs to pieces
It would seem a simple task to ask him to raise his pant legs and show the shrapnel scars from this injury.
Also it takes a minute and a half to phone the local military base and ask for some information about the length of time normally associated with a “tour of duty” especially regarding some fool who claims two tours in a war that lasted less than 8 months, and where the bulk of the shooting took place in the last month…(2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991)
If the liars didn’t have such willing accomplices among these fools claiming to be journalists perhaps less of this horseshit would get published.
Also, a witch once changed him into a newt.
He got better. 😀
Then again, his legs could be jacked up by whatever caused him to visit Portsmouth Naval Hospital and get medically retired.
But lying about his injuries? Faqheem.
Or by a post-service auto or biking accident, for that matter. He’s been retired since 1987.
If you look at his Bio, it claims 3 tours to Desert Storm and 2 tours to the Gulf War. 5 tours in 8 months is a pretty neat gig. I only managed 2 in OIF after nearly 2 years.
VOV I am currently conducting my graduate research on how and why journalists allow themselves to be fooled by stolen valor impostors. This case falls right in line with the others. Foster was referred to the story because of his work with the VA and DAV. Since he was referred to the paper by those groups they inferred his story had been vetted. But as we know it wasn’t. Armchair quarterback says the journalist should have verified…and yes they should have. But before we tar and feather a reporter and/or editor at a community newspaper, please know they were duped by an impostor taking advantage of the respect most people try to give veterans. I’m hoping to start presenting my findings to community news agencies so they can avoid stories like this going to press. In my research I’ve seen the media react to me in different ways. Jon Mark Beilue from the Amarillo Globe was very apologetic, admitted he should have been more skeptical of “William The Original Navy Seal.” He talked to me for almost an hour about how/why he got fooled, and he then let Don Shipley come out and confront the faker. On the other hand I’ve had media that have refused to listen to me, stick with the phony story, and basically tell me to go F**k myself. In this case the editor and reporter for the Simi Valley Acorn were extremely professional. They listened to what I had to say, reviewed the records I sent them, and went back and confronted Foster. Like the the Amarillo Globe, I think this newspaper has learned from their mistake and will be more cautious in the future. For me, the fault lies 110% with Mr. Foster.
AVG……Sorry pal, that’s not your dog. Actually that’s Foster when he turned himself into a dog. After all, he sure as hell failed at turning himself into a tailor with that uniform and white shirt looking like it was borrowed from Hulk Hogan. For that matter, it might just have been borrowed from Hogan as one picture has him looking like a Mexican wrestler trying to pull a metal contraption down over his head. BTW, when did the Navy start giving only one hash mark for 22 years service? Or are they doing “dog years” now for service as in one dog year = 22 people years?!
While I’m on here I’d like to bring up an idea. It would be great to actually meet in person some of the others who post on here. Judging from some of the locations mentioned, a few live in central Florida. My wife and I are going down to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City and I’d really enjoy being able to get together with some other posters. Plant City would be about the center of Fla as any city you could think of, not far from anywhere. The Strawberry Festival runs from 03 March through 13 March. It’s a good time had by all and the strawberries are delicious. Look it up on the Internet and they always have a wide variety of good entertainment. Weather is always shorts and short sleeve shirts. If anyone else would consider getting together down there…by all means let us know. We could get together via email to get the ball rolling. If Jonn would be kind enough to oversee getting us started in the right direction. For that matter, Jonn, you need a few days off yourself. Give it some thought and let it be known.
Can one of you master chiefs explain how can the guy be classified as retired with combined active and reserve time of less than six years?
Medical?
Not a MCPO, PT, but I’ll take a shot at answering that. Medical would be the only way I know of for someone to be retired with <6 years of service.
Maybe "demented magician" is indeed apropos here. Dunno.
agreed, I’ve seen guys medical retired with less than 2 years active service, due to injury or major illness like cancer.
Same here… last one I saw was a woman that had a malignant glioma that took her sight from her and was affecting her speech. She passed away 6 months after she was medically retired. The command did a retirement ceremony for her to thank her for her service and gave her a N/MCAM for the work she did there, even while she was going through treatment.
He was a reserve and he never made one deployment. Looks like he was never called to active service. Back then the biggest Navy call to service were Navy MEDICAL and Seabees. The rest of the Navy had the numbers needed for their part of the War. So he is a big POS.
Another note: The only two Navy Mobile EOD teams on the ground in 90-91 were staying on our camp with an Australian EOD team. I think back then it was a total of 8-10 guys and then the Australians had 8. This jack ass was not one of them.
Looks to me like he was med retired in Jun 1987, Chief.
I don’t believe any medical retirees were recalled for Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
Good point Hondo, The Navy did not do a big call to service like they did after 911. Why do they think they can rock a lie is beyond me?
He is so screwed up these guys need to research shit. He has the AFG and Iraq and if he was in shield and storm he would have Southwest Asia Medal with two stars and he has one Kuwait Medal and not the one with the palm tree. He also has Sea service and overseas service ribbons.
He ETS’d as a HT out of the Personnel Services Detachment (PSD) at Quantico. As far as I know, neither the PSD or MCB Quantico requires HTs. It’s an odd place for a sailor who isn’t an HM, PN, or YN to ETS.
Do they have a brig there? If do he could have been there and got out and mabey while waiting to be discharged. Having HT rating could have been placed in PWD to help because of being an HT they can help UT’s on shore duty from time to time.
They do (or at least, did) have a major confinement facility at Quantico. But his rate at retirement (HT2, E5, less than 5 yrs service) argues against his having done any significant time there.
My guess would be assigned there as overstrength while awaiting a decision on a med retirement. Perhaps he was assigned to do welding or plumbing repairs on base while awaiting a decision.
Yes like I said PW public works and they did have a big one there. We have had fleet rates like HT’s assigned to Seabee support units and Public Works. Could explain why he received weapons qualification. They had a CBU Construction Battalion Unit shore Duty for Seabees, but they still have to qualify on weapons every 6 months because they can deploy to support fleet hospitals. So that is more likely and I believe back then they used the same compound as EOD sometimes we did that shared the same facility.like you said we would use him ton help with welding and could help the plumbers also. This is why they send fleet sailors that have those rates while on LIMDU or MED hold. I am sure this is where His fantasy started…
Sorry, didn’t recognize the PWD acronym until you spelled it out. Me background Army. (smile)
It looks like he was LIMDU so could have been assigned 1ST LT DIV and then separated. His DD 214 is jacked up the PSD clerks did not no what they were doing. We do not have badges or Bars for weapons qualification. It looks like a Marine may have done his DD 214 so some shit is not on there but he is still a POS…
I would say he was LIMDU and it is possible they sent him over to EOD as LIMDU support and looks like they let him go to the range to get qualified trying to help him out maybe. It is unusual for most Navy Fleet rates back then to receive both weapons quail’s unless assigned support to Security or NEC 9545 (not in pay grade to receive that NEC so not likely) The other would be support billets for EOD and Seabee detachments.
I saw that, too. I figured either the person at NPRC didn’t get it right or a Marine did the DD-214 and used badges instead of ribbons for the marksmanship awards.
Ya, I think it is jacked but he still a sack of shit. Being an HT boot or not he would have NEC listed and I still question why an HT had both qualification back then He was attached to support EOD or BEEs and they let him shoot or could have been an (ASF) Auxiliary Security Force guy because he was a reserve. That would be listed so they just shoved him out the door and he didn’t question it.. His DD 214 is fucked up but he is still a lying sack of shit….
ASF you have to be shore duty with at least 18 months. I was ASF while I was IN AIMD Norfolk
Good point, just trying to figure out how a reserve HT would get both weapons quails. His DD 214 is screwed up.

Feel free to leave comments at https://www.stevensmagic.com/contact-us/. I did!
Please tell us if you get a response.
How about buying a surplus uniform and having it tailored to fit. His is 3 sizes too big and you gotta love that tie. That has to be reg. Shit stain.
I think he misunderstood the term “mustard stain” in the context of “combat service”, Sparks. (smile)
The guy behind him is also sporting a crab…wonder what he would think (assuming he’s legit)of the “commander”.
Looks to me like he’s thinking, “That can’t possibly be David Byrne wearing his ‘big suit’ – can it?”
(smile)
LOL…That was my second thought after I got past the geegaws and dingledangles on his suit.
Couldn’t find the photo I wanted – the dark/black version of the “big suit” with Byrne wearing glasses.
Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
The guy actually kinda looks like Byrne. Don’t know which of them to feel sorry for.
Come on, give this guy some slack. The life of a Turd-Chaser (as HT’s are affectionately known) can be pretty harrowing. Bustin’ open the piping for a CHT system (the ship’s septic tank!) has all sorts of dangers and worries. Maybe he’s just a little confused by PTSD or something – the clogged pipe suddenly emptied on the guy in front of him, burying the guy in shit and he got hit in the legs by a few wrinkle-neck shitter trout which really would mess up his legs.
He’s also sporting the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with a bronze SS between his Battle “E” and his NDSM on his white shirt. It looks like he doesn’t have it on the blue jacket. I think that he’s a little young to be a WW II vet.
Hey, Foster, let’s see how good a magician you really are. Make this jackpot you’re now in disappear.
He’s more fucked up than a gay black Jewish transsexual NeoNazi in the KKK! Maybe he was medically retired due to mental issues, that’s all I think he would qualify for.
FTS or Fractured Taint Syndrome does make people go crazee… just look at Noah Gas!
Is that a VFW, or AL cap on his head? I wonder if anyone has contacted them yet about this turd.
You know I am starting to think they don’t give two shits about guys like this. They take the money and look the other way.
Yep.
Yet they get offended when one of their members is called out for douchebaggery.
It looks like DAV.
DAV Chapter 55 is in Simi Valley, CA.
He’s in quite a few pics on the DAV FB page.

I’ve kindly asked him on his and the Simi Valley Chapter 55 FB page to help me clear this up. I would certainly hate for an EOD “brother” to be falsely accused of fuckery. There’s another guy sporting the crab in DAV Chapter 55. I’ve asked Jerry to get this “Tech” to vouch for him. I will keep yall posted.
I was less kind…cuz he’s all over the fukking place in that clown suit, so I left links to TAH with a number of veterans groups that he’s frequenting.
This morning my FB comments with the TAH link at the VFW and Marine Corps League are gone…still there at the DAV
I’m actually surprised they aren’t all gone.
All I got from him is the ol PV9 Gainey cricket serenade.
I reposted my comments on the DAV FB page…they are gone and I’m locked out of commenting. All the D-Bag’s pics are still up, so if anyone isn’t locked out ya may want to hit them up with a question or two about this member.
https://www.facebook.com/DAV-Simi-Valley-Chapter-55-467523803322754/
Please tell us that this guy is never allowed around children.
Okay, cut him some slack. After all, he’s wearin’ the ribbon rack on the pocket flap – definitely legit!
Re-read that first caption. He has two purple “ARTS”. ROFL
Blimey – ‘e must be English! (smile)
Someone should kick him in the arse.
Bloody well right!
Did anyone else catch that his ‘career’ was split between 22 and 25 years in the story? FFS…the reporter and proofreader never caught that much?
Unfortunately, because the newspaper business is not what it used to be, most community newspapers like the Simi Valley Acorn can’t afford proofreaders any longer.
Hey Jerry, you lying sack o` shit-You`re gonna be way more famous now than you ever would have dreamed. Your magic act has failed, and in spades.
Loser.
Well, if you put on some glasses on “Weird Al” Yankovic OR have Foster grown out his hair and get rid of the glasses, you may say they are twins separated at birth (And yes, Weird Al IS wearing a WWI Marine Corps uniform with Bling Bling; Rolling Stones Magazine thought it was a Russian Uniform:
http://whnt.com/2016/02/23/weird-al-yankovic-to-perform-in-huntsville-on-june-17-as-part-of-mandatory-world-tour/
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2014/08/03/rolling-stone-doesn-t-know-the-difference-between-a-u-s-and-a-russian-uniform/
Check out his Facebook page…he has totally grown out his hair…but he looks more like Weird Al’s mentor Dr. Demento.
Wearing quite the braided ponytail on the DAV FB page
Twenty bucks to your one that either the long hair or the ponytail are fake. Better yet, ten bucks each that both are as phony as this damned fool is a magician. A hundred to one HE is a fake warrior in most all he claims, including being a Navy Commander. The only thing he could be a commander of would be the minds of those who live in State-Run institutions.
What a scumbag. I think I’m going to have a discussion with him about his illustrious EOD career.
Like Jerry Foster, I’m a bit of a magician myself. The difference is that I’ve been making erections and crotchcheese disappear in truckstop restroom stalls since my lawsuit in 2012.
sincerely
John “Faker 6” Giduck
The Gloryhole Warrior, aka Faker 6
That’s some magic trick that he pulled with his “military career”… He pulled all that shit out of his azz. 🙄
That picture of the freak with that creepy grin shows me he’d be right at home in a windowless van parked near a playground.
In TOTAL agreement with you CHLO…..That’s just about as big of a fake smile as a contestant in a beauty pageant. Look at his “I’m a Commander, make way!” Look at the first picture up at the top with his “serious” 10 yard stare he is wearing. Don’t know if you are old enough to know who I am talking about, but years ago some dude named Walley something or other was referred to as Mr. Peepers. The little ditty that always popped up when he came around went, “Jeepers Creepers, Where’d You Get Those Funny Peepers?” This assclown remembles him very much as his probably 14″ pencil neck gets lost in a man’s size 16 or 17 shirt.
My guess is he usually buys his second hand uniforms at “Leroy’s Big & Tall Used Uniforms” at the Halloween sale every year.
SERIOUSLY, there is something clearly evident in this man’s personality that he wishes did not show up on his face. Hence the makeup and costumes for his magic show. Some turn to clown outfits out in public to hide the real darkness within. Others turn to fooling a gullible public with military outfits….even if the outfits are three sizes too large. They practice staring people down knowing naive people fold easily when facing a menacing stare. Folks like us can see right through it and just HAVE to call their hand.
Are you referring to the late Wally Cox, who portrayed Mr. Peepers and was also the voice of Underdog?
Bing Bing Bing!!…..and the newest member of the Old Farts With Good Memories club is none other than Hack Stone. Congratulations Hack. Careful when you make your pick. Kate Smith is behind door number three.
He looks as creepy as Bernath in an ill-fitting suit sporting his bogus rank and medals, like the type you’d expect to see prowling around grade and middle schools in a windowless van with “FREE CANDY” spray painted on its sides.
Jerry Foster, Google hit, reminds me of Ball Duster McManus. 🙄
I bet his magic act is more fucked up than Bernath’s performance in a courtroom!
Here’s a vid of some of his act:
Must be edited.
I don’t see any kids.
Fucking freak.
Gross.
Wow, why is it that when we post Phony’s videos, the videos do a magic trick and “disappear?” Same thing happened with the Michael “Phony POW and 2 PH” Killiam and William Joe Gainey, “1st SEAC of the JCS” and ” Born in 1956 and Graduated from High School in 1975 Awardee of 3 NDSM” interview Video where Killiam could not even spit out his MOS when asked what it was! Amazing. Completetly Amazing. Time for the SV Tournament with their Co-Stars/Supporting Enablers being identified and nominated.
Looks like someone is all asshurt over their newly found “fame” as a SV thief and real deal anal buttsekks warrior!
Deal with it Jerry. YOU. ARE. A. LIAR.
Nothing proves to be a Desert Storm veteran like a traezoidial arched top patch stating “Desert Storm Veteran.”
Turd chaser 2nd.. Jeebus.
And magicians are creepy.
When does the Demented Magician meet up with the Demented Disbarred Attorney?
Jerry Foster, the phony Navy Commander with a phony 22 year service that included phony combat tours “during Desert Storm and the Gulf War”. Google hit.
I was referring to our infamous non-attorney spokesman/TSA Agent/Tour Guide/Glider Pilot.
I knew who you were referring to, I took the opportunity to make a statement that would give Jerry Foster google hit opportunities in reply.
http://www.simivalleyacorn.com/news/2011-09-16/Letters/People_need_to_mind_own_business.html
“To the gentleman that had nothing better to do with his life than complain about people that are laughing, I’d like to introduce myself. I am Jerry Foster, a retired Navy Commander that has put 22 years in and completed three tours in Desert Storm and two in the Gulf War. The park and my dog and my friends are very therapeutic to me due to my PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I am a model citizen and I mind my business. If laughing is a crime, then I am guilty. By the way, the dogs get noisier when they get worked up for one reason or the other.”
In Navy Writing, it would be written as: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). They may have changed that since I was in the Navy, but I’d imagine that it would’ve been similar to the rules in place during the periods he claimed he was in. I don’t even need to see the results of an FOIA to see that this turd chaser wasn’t an officer. 🙄
I wonder if he read Richard Marcinko’s Rogue Warrior books and decided to adapt part or all of one or more of the characters represented. 🙄
Pretty sure DoD’s accepted writing style regarding acronyms today is still to spell out the acronym the first time it’s used, with each word capitalized, followed by the acronym in ALL CAPS in parenthesis. Best I can tell, that’s been the case since at least the early 1980s.
If this tool had served 22 years and made O5, doing that would be damn near automatic for him.
It was when I retired in ’08…spell out first, the you could use acronyms after.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry…calm down and get hold of yourself. You’ve got it back-asswards. It’s NOT about a gentleman complaining about people laughing; it’s about a gentleman laughing about people complaining. Such as the shit-for-brains so-called magician laughing because he thinks he has all us dumb farts fooled. If you did 22 years, then I swear my Johnson is 22 inches long, and I don’t even play in the NBA. If you are a model citizen, then I am a 70 year old male model with a 32 inch waist. You are not guilty of laughing, you are guilty of causing smoke to enter the anus of many people. So tell us how you get the dogs worked up and noisier. By any chance do you promise a hand job to the pooch which does not laugh during your performance? The YouTube video of you driving a nail up your nose is REALLY special. Haven’t seen that since junior high school.
he is a mutual friend of mine, who is a very well respected magician…Going to have to send this link to him. His dad was a very proud and honorable Navy Veteran. Sure this will go over like a lead balloon.
I have been trying to get anything out of our demented magician and he doesn’t seem to want to help me clear his name. In fact he won’t respond to a single message that I’ve sent him. Curiouser and curiouser.
EODJay: Foster and his Co-Depedent Enablers have all joined a Cricket Brigade (for reference, see Michael Killam and SGM William Joseph Gainey of Texas as well as Edward William Richards and Bill Schwartz of Colorado). Perhaps time to call a News Station that services their area and touch base with an investigstive reporter? Pumblic humiliation, i.e. a camera or microphone shoved in their face may work…and then again it may not (thinking of DB in Coo-Coo Nut Land). Thanks for your persaverance. Do you think he knows what FITH means?
The DAV Simi Valley Chapter 55 is definitely giving me the cricket serenade. I’ve been messaging back and forth with one of his supporters. A very nice and well meaning lady. I think she is finally seeing that she has been lied to but still thinks we are the bad guys. A wise man recently told me: you can’t wake someone pretending to be asleep.
Damn, I forgot the Google hit.
Jerry Foster phony EOD Tech and shitbag extraordinaire.
Jerry Alan Foster phony EOD Tech lying asswipe.
Jerry Foster phony Navy Commander, phony EOD Tech is trying his best to cover his tracks. He appears to have editor right at the Simi Valley DAV chapter 55 Facebook page as well as to a company named Salute to Arms. All of my posts at Salute to Arms have been scrubbed and I am banned from posting at the DAV page. The VFW Post 10049 is still open for posting though. The DAv’s phone is going to start ringing soon. He can’t ban me from calling.
Jerry Foster, phony EOD Tech and phony Navy Commander, why did you block me, buddy, ol pal? Come clean, Jerry. Admit it to all of the VSOs that you lied to. Write a letter of apology to http://www.eodwarriorfoundation.org for your lies. This is not going away. I am not going away.
One DOES NOT piss off the People of TAH sans consequences.
Jerry Foster, phony EOD Tech and phony Navy Commander, you should damn well be ashamed of yourself. You’ve brought an innocent, albeit gullible, lady into this. I have been giving CLW (I won’t use her name) all the facts. She still doesn’t want to believe it and I understand. She seems like a trusting soul and boy have you done a number on her. Again, you should be ashamed. She used the term “ghost soldier” in describing you. Did she pull this from thin air? I doubt it. I’m sure this came from you. If you are such the secret weapon, why are you parading around in your clown suit for the world to see?
Jerry, you claim to have been injured by a mine strike in 2002. You said that you lost an EOD troop that was right in front of you in this mine strike. The truth is, there were three EOD fatalities in 2002. They were not Navy Techs and all three happened in one incident. These fine men served under a very good friend of mine, their First Sergeant. This man pinned my EOD badge on my chest with a fist the size of a canned ham. You see, Jerry, EOD is a small community. You may be able to bullshit some well meaning ladies that want to see the best in all the veterans but you can’t bullshit us in the know.
I WILL NOT GO AWAY. I WILL NOT QUIT.
Admit your lies to all the VSOs that you have weaseled into and write a full apology to http://www.eodwarriorfoundation.org
Jay, I’m not sure if you’ve seen this but he has put his e-mail out on a few different sites: thumbtip1@yahoo.com
I’ll just leave this here . . . .
http://www.davmembersportal.org/chapters/ca/55/Web_Pages/officers.aspx
I’ve been calling them and leaving messages but they don’t want to talk for some reason.
I’d guess USPS mail/return receipt – signature required would work. (smile)
They are circling the wagons around him. They have even made it public on their Facebook page. Of course, all of us that are actually telling the truth, are a bunch of meanies and we’re attacking poor Jerry. Not one word about him lying to them and everyone else for years.
Then perhaps contacting the local press who Foster hoodwinked by lying to them would be a good next step.
Very few people like to find out they’ve been lied to and fooled. But reporters are in a unique position to get even when that’s brought to their attention. (smile)
That is next on the list. I’ll keep everyone informed.
I sent an email to the Navy EOD school via my official mail outlining the situation and asking if they can provide any info on this turd.
I was going to call them today but I’ll wait to see what you get. I just emailed the reporter from the original story asking her if she would find out why the DAV is taking the stance that it is.
They acknowledged my email…but no results yet
From the DAV Simi Valley Chapter 55 Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/DAV-Simi-Valley-Chapter-55-467523803322754/): “The mission statement of the DAV is to help build better lives for Veterans and their families. The mission of Jerry Foster’s attackers, is the complete opposite. They are interested in hate , vengeance and destruction. Their efforts will not stand , their efforts show us the worst side of humanity , cruelty , aggressive hatred and total ignorance. They have already lost.”
Yeah, we’ll see.
One thing is fairly obvious – truth has little meaning to whoever posted that screed on behalf of the DAV.
Yeah, I wrote that down earlier before it disappeared like everything else.
Thank you for the heads up, though. I do appreciate it.
The heat has just been turned up. Jerry Foster is about to get all the attention that he has so desperately been seeking.
I wish to inform you on this page that an investigation of Commander Jerry Foster has been completed by Washington Veterans Administration and 3 Veterans organizations and he has been found fully vetted by the US Navy as serving 22 years in the US Navy. The Veterans associations in which Comm. Foster serves have all been made aware of this information. Comm. Foster served 15 years in Special Ops, and 6 years as a Naval as a serviceman in various positions, and one year as a reservist.
I would hope before setting out to destroy a fellow mans honor, you fully investigate your claims, and not all jump on a bandwagon. This result should put this to rest.
Sure, on your word, we’ll just jerk his records. Show us the docs. And by the way, check on how the USMC abbreviates rank while you’re at it.
Jonn, you are mistaken. Brian Augert is a Mystery Science Theater Sergeant..
Geez, it’s as if these sock puppets are not even trying anymore. What’s next, will Will Chamberlain be coming to his defense?
If you say so, I thought he was a Masturbation Service Technician.
Brian,
Are you still an active duty Marine, or have you retired? In that abortion of letters I see in your name, I don’t see an indication of retirement. I’m sure that, by now, one of our Marines has already pumped your name into their database to see if anyone named Brian Augert has ever been a Marine.
Given your inability to string together a few sentences coherently, and without basic grammar and punctuation errors, I’m guessing that you barely made it out of high school, much less becoming a senior NCO.
In case there was any doubt – there is no one on the DOD global e-mail with the last name Augert. Lots of Augers, but not a single Augert. So, that should rule out active, reserve, civilian, or contractor.
Yeah, I checked that before I posted.
An investigation done in 6 days? By the “Washington Veterans Administration and 3 Veterans organizations”? Do you really think that this was a high priority item for the VA to do?
I’m guessing that the IP address is somewhere in CA near Simi Valley?
(smile)
Spec Ops….yeah that’s the ticket. Spec Ops and a Naval…lol
What did anyone here do “to destroy a fellow mans honor?” Honor is one of those things that either an individual has or does not. It is not controlled by anyone other than that individual.
Assuming that this Jerry Foster person ever had any honor, any destruction of same he did himself. Honorable folks do not lie about who they are. Honorable people are not necessarily rich or famous, but they all share an ability to be successful at things without lying about or embellishing their accomplishments.
Wow, that’s convincing. You’re right, and we’ve all been swayed by the statements, without any documentary proof, and by someone who claims to be a senior Marine NCO but can’t properly abbreviate his rank, that someone who no one in the Navy EOD community can verify, that he did in deed serve for 22 years as a Navy EOD officer.
I’m also having trouble figuring out what a Marine “MST SGT” is. And what’s a “Comm” in the Navy? I think the proper abbreviation is “CDR”, but (to quote a certain Master Chief Petty Officer), what do I know?
I’ll answer my own question. I know that the documentation at the top of this page contradicts most of what you claim, Brian.
Don’t believe us? Submit your own SF-180, detailed instruction on how to do that are in this blog. But I’m betting you won’t.
Well that settles it all. The Washington Veterans Administration has sorted it all out for us. Clearly we don’t know what we’re doing around here. And the damage we did to Jerry’s honor. The horror. Hey sock puppet, that is called sarcasm.
I will say this again, if you can prove to me that this clown is a Navy CDR and an EOD Tech, I will donate $1000 to the DAV Simi Valley Chapter 55. How about you match me and say if he can’t prove it you will donate $1000 to the Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation?
EOD Jay… is there an EOD det at Mugu or Hueneme? If there is, maybe they should visit Chapter 55 and see if they can video a meeting with the DAV leadership about Jerry? Maybe meet Jerry in person and see if he’ll regale them with his tales of daring during his three DS tours?
MST – Masturbation Service technician?
I believe that “Brian” is a “Mist Sergeant” – when you try to pin down his identity, he evaporates into thin air.
Wow, a sockpuppet went full fucktard on this.
Jerry, is that you?
I think that Brian almost “augured” as badly as Old Dipstick Dan Bernath.
By the way, Foster couldn’t provide documentation for the reporter of the Acorn, but now he has enough to convince a Marine Master Sergeant? How did that happen?
Magic.
“This result should put this to rest.’ Yep. That’s good enough for me. He says he’s 100% legit so that’s the end of it. Questions?
Yeah.
What the hell is a MST SGT and why should I be concerned about the opinion of something claiming to be a Brian Augert?
New day, same loser.
Now Jerry, just waive your wand and magically disappear.
I’m sure that when people GOOGLE Jerry Foster, it will show that he’s TAH famous… and his business prospects with magically disappear!
He could always get a gig at the All-Points Logistics taxpayer-funded corporate Christmas party.
I’ve decided that Jerry Foster is, in fact, the greatest magician of all time. He is the only person who can make a Navy commission, 22 years worth of service records, and anyone who trained him or served with him in an EOD unit disappear.
Outstanding!
I know what you’re thinking. Has EODJay forgotten about ol Jerry Foster? Not by a long shot. Stay tuned TAHers. I think I have some more fuckery for you.
I am still here Jerry Foster. I am not going away.
Tell us more, EODJay!!! We’re waiting with baited breath.
Hey there Jerry Foster. I bet you thought this was going away, didn’t you? Guess who just got an email from the DAV Inspector General stating that this matter was going to be looked into. If you guessed me, then you get a gold star.
Admit your lies to all that entrusted you, Jerry. This is not going away.
Oh, Damn! DA PAIN TRAIN IS COMIN’ FOR YOU, JERRY! DAV is going to find out about your stupid ass and drop the hammer on you.
Deal with it…
I’m also hoping that the Simi Valley DAV Chapter 55 gets taken to task for the way they handled it. Or rather, the way they didn’t handle it.
Thanks for the update. I haven’t heard anything from the Navy EOD school beyond the acknowledgement they received my email.
Based on his hospital stay, he’s probably eligible for DAV membership. He sure as hell isn’t eligible for all of the bling that he’s been wearing.
So, he called (blocked his number) and left a message that DAV has “cleared” him. Foster claims that he has 15 years of service that don’t appear in his records because…Secret Squirrel!!! Of course, he’s not going to prove it to us, we’re supposed to take his word for it.
Gee whiz, what a surprise – NOT! Has he threatened to “lawer up” yet?
I got threatened with a law suit. Of course, not from Jerry but from one of his enablers. Does that count?
The DAV proved it huh? Oh sure, I believe that…
DAV cleared him in a week? Sekrit skwirrl EOD Commander? More like “Call of Booty – Anal Buttsekks Warrior”!
People are on you and your lies like a pit bull on a porkchop, Jerry… it isn’t going away because you said so.
Shocked face. Not.
