Henry “Steve” Marks; phony general
Someone sent us their work on this Henry Stephan Marks, who is known around the Beechmont Racquet and Fitness Club as Steve Marks, or “The General”;
They got the idea that he was a general because of this DD214 that he flashes around;
When I look at a DD214, the first thing I look at is the document version. This one is the 1966 iteration. That’s strange because the document was supposed to be for service as late as 2014. I retired in 1993 and my DD214 version was 1988 and there have been at least two versions since then.
Nothing about Marks’ discharge is correct. It’s supposed to record his service from the rank of private soldier E-1 to flag officer Brigadier general. That would never happen. There would be a DD214 when he finished OCS and went from being an enlisted soldier to an officer.
I could go through the DD214 point-by-point, but why – the National Personnel Records Center says “Who?”;
On the date that Marks claim he was promoted (August 1, 2014), the Pentagon had no record of him being on active duty;
He told folks that he’s been called back to active duty this year, but the Pentagon doesn’t remember asking;
Just another old liar

Another addition to the APL hiring pool. I wonder if this booger-muncher will Bernath on us?
Go big or go home.
Just another lying bastard wannabe.

HENRY MARKS LYING SHITBAG: YES
That’s “Bossnia”, with two ss’s, it said so on his “DD-214″…
Ah, Bossnia. Isn’t that near Employeenia? (smile)
Can’t take the time to Google the correct spelling of his “bullsshit”.
What, no claims of a Combat Tour in Paprika as well?
Just don’t mention that raid over Macho Grande.
I’ll never get over Macho Grande… or Elaine Ricci
Too bad about Wlaine Ricci. The demons got ahold of her, and she gave in to her addiction to placebos. Psaul had to put her on extended medical leave, and he has assumed the position of a proud woman.
Does he don his spandex with holes cut out in strategic places when he “assumes the position”?
Like Caitlin Jenner “proud woman”?
This Gym is an hour from me. Think Ill go visit tomorrow.
“Hi. I’m here in the hopes of seeing General Marks. We’re old war buddies.”
“General Marks? Sure! Which war? He was in them all, you know.”
Just remember Chris Kyle’s technique – get out before the MPs arrive. And maintain plausible deniability.
His DD-214 is from 2014 but his last duty assignment was in USARV (US Army Republic of Vietnam?)
I like how he was in Bosnia in 1979 – 80. Pretty sure it was just called “Yugoslavia” back then.
Aw, hell, you’re right, it’s not worth it to go through this soup sandwich of a DD-214.
I think even the late Ballduster McSoulpatch was a more convincing “General” than this shitbag.
“Soup Sandwich” is the right term; that is ONE JACKED-UP “DD-214″…
I miss Soup. Now, there was a phony.
Yea Ole Soup had it all going for him didn’t he?
“…I like how he was in Bosnia in 1979 – 80. Pretty sure it was just called “Yugoslavia” back then….”
He served as Marshal Tito’s chief food taster and court eunuch…
9 weeks of Jump school,,or as I like to say 3 times recycled.
15 Jump Chump
He kept getting lost on his way to the ground.
Well, it is close to half a mile…
Nine weeks of Airborne School? I was tired and sore after three. This dude is seriously hardcore.
Its obvious from his DD214 that nobody knows who he is because he spent 27 years, 7 months and 11 days either at sea for deployed to foreign lands.
I would like to take this opportunity to say:
Welcome home you goofy bastard.
He’s the Dilbert of the Army. Been there for decades and nobody knows who he is or what he does.
We fixed the glitch.
You noticed that as well Dave. Lot’s of “G.I. wanna hump time”.
“Brigadier General” Henry Stephen Marks, please go and politely fuck yourself…
That is some funny $hit right there. The multiple misspellings, assignment to nonexistent units, and a non-US citizen working in the intel field. So many things wrong with that thing.
I hope that his little pseudo country club tosses him out on his ass, but we all know that they won’t.
He took a weekend trip from Edmonton to the M&M Bar in Butte, MT, where some Army recruiters drugged him, placed him on a unmarked plane and dropped him in South America for training.
It could happen, ever been to Butte?
Yep, went through the MEP’s there and spent last night as a civilian in the M&M Bar.
My apologies!
My personal favorite is the signature of the officer authorized to sign off on the DD214: “jhA10.” I’m guessing jh is John Hancock, A10 pilot. I also like that he didn’t bother to sign the DD214 himself. He probably read on the interwebs (bonjour!)that a gov’t record isn’t falsified if it’s not signed, so he thinks he’s safe.
The spelling errors are horrendous.
* Disstuinguished Service Cross
* Grenada Servicice Medal
* Bossnia Service Medal
And of course, what John already pointed out.. a DD214 from ’66 that was meant to be for a typewriter – but now used with a laser printer?!!
And I also reacted to the length of airborne school. I am sure it was longer than 3 weeks at some point, but not in 69 FFS.
In ’63 it was 3 weeks
Give him a brak. After all he’s only a 1 star. Spelling and grammar are in 2 star school.
1968 and 1969 basic jump school was still 3 weeks, and has remained so unless it has been changed under King Putt’s marvelous administration.
Isn’t impersonating a general officer a felony? This guy might be meeting Julio, Bubba and Mr. “Tiny” soon…
So… does the rank of General help Marks pick up chicks at the Beechmont Racquet and Fitness Club?
I’m asking for IDC SARC…
Egad, country club lizards. I’d rather troll a truck stop.
Yes, he has used his Generalship to attract the ladies. I belong to the gym where he goes. (I’m not a veteran or service member) He drives around with vanity plates “2 TRS” and he has the Vietnam designation on his plate as well, plus he has a U.S. Army Ranger plate surround.
Doesn’t the state require proof (like a 214) to get VN plates? If he used the one depicted then, whoopsie.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! If the plates are VN Vet plates issued by the state, there is an opportunity to ding him for it.
According to the Ohio DMV site (http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/vr-sp-military.aspx) there are three VN Vet plates available through the state: Vietnam Service Medal with Service Star, Vietnam Veteran During Conflict, and Vietnam Veteran. The first requires that the “applicant must submit a copy of his/her DD-214 displaying their participation in the designated campaign,” the second requires that “an honorably-discharged veteran or active duty service member must submit either a copy of his/her DD-214 or a statement from the commanding officer verifying military service during August 5, 1964, through May 7, 1975,” and the last requires that “an honorably-discharged veteran must submit either a copy of the DD-214 or a statement from the commanding officer verifying date of in-country service in Vietnam between August 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975. Medals on DD-214 proving in-country service: Vietnam Service Medal (VSM, VNSM, Vietnam Campaign Medal (VCM, RVCM RVNCM). If no medal(s) are indicated on the DD-214, the DD-214 must show the established in-country dates set by Congress.”
Does anyone know a LEO in OH?
I’ll forward this on to the Clermont County Sherriff, maybe they can do something about this.
My bet is that’s supposed to stand for “Two Tours.”
I’m also betting that this plate was obtained by submitting a verification letter from “The Commanding Officer” instead of a DD214.
One would think that if two tours were done, the plate would have a service star designation.
But no, you have to submit a DD214 to get one of those. For the plate without a service star, it only requires a commanders letter.
And I’m also betting the letter was signed off by “jhA10”. Any takers?
Whoopsie….
Well, at least there may be a perp walk to the DMV to get new plates by 14 Nov 2016.
But who knows? After all, he is “The General.”
General Shitbag is more like it.
I live by and go to the gym where he is a member (I’m not a veteran or service member). I passed all this info on to the Sheriff’s office, waiting to hear a reply.
I guess that the DD-214 that he’s toting around has been seen by more than the chicks at the club. I love it when they go full retard. When they are just stupid, the only thing they get is a few Google hits and endless mocking. When they go full retard, they get to spend time with attorneys.
Update! El General has quit the gym. The Clermont County Sheriff turned the info over to the Director of Veteran services in Clermont County. Veteran services has filed an investigation with the license bureau. The gym owners know now and they are sick about his guy and how he used them. (The Gym owners are great people) They tried to do a nice event for veterans the last 3 years and El General was the MC. I have it from reliable sources that he is sticking to his military claims and he says he has his real DD214, strange since his name and SS#, and birthdate are correct on the fake one, And NPRC couldn’t find him.
Splash
I just met him today at the Mercy Healthplex Anderson. He didn’t tell me of his heroics but when I spoke to someone else, they mentioned that he was a general.
“just met him today”
What was he doing at a hospital in the wee morning hours?
Cruising the wards looking for bedpan breakfast?
Well, ‘The General’ wanted to be famous, and so now he is.
Just not in the way that he had hoped.
Shitbag!
Who the hell carries around their DD214? Aside from tards.
^^^This^^^
I keep one in the car. I challenge phonies, so I figure I need to have one around if someone challenges me.
I’ve only seen it once. Worked at a big box hardware store that I won’t mention but rhymes with Lowe’s before I became an eebil gubmint contractor. Had a vet with Navy service ’65-’69 come in for Memorial day, Independence day, and Veteran’s day sales with an old 214 in a ziplock bag. Looked legit to all the Vets working there, got him the 10% discount.
I would have shown you my DD2 (retired) ID card or my VA ID.
The only time I use my DD2 is to get a 20% discount from my favorite Taco place.

Yum Yum.
Gotta love how America sent a aged 17 years, two month old Canadian Private to Indochina to fight the Commie horde.
And he reported for duty in Indochina five months before he was inducted back in Chicago.
Way too sekrit squirrel for me.
He’s legit, Wave “Sticky Bums” Rayner was his fire team partner!
They probably worked together “glazing” those “sticky bums”…
Isn’t forging a DD214 a crime? I didn’t think one was allowed to write a pack of lies and place them onto a Federal document and pass that around as the real deal.
Why isn’t this being prosecuted as a forgery? Or does this not rise to the required level of importance for a DA? Just another old fucking lying shitbag so nobody cares?
It’s probably a good thing I’m not in charge of this sort of shit, I’d give that old turd a nice tune-up as a not so gentle reminder that lies of this magnitude are not to be tolerated, goofy bastard or not…
same reason tens of thousands per year supply bogus info on their 4473s and ATFE never bothers to go after them. They are violating laws that no one has any real intention of enforcing… but when there was a concern of some kind, the politicians who passed said laws can say they “did something.”
Other than the Stolen Valor part (which is a misdemeanor), forging a DD-214 is not a federal crime, believe it or not.
I looked through the Federal Forgery statutes and could not find one that applied. I believe Hondo did too. We were both surprised (and disappointed, I think.)
Submitting a fake DD-214 to obtain benefits one is not otherwise entitled to (like VA benefits) would be a fraud, but otherwise using a DD-214 that has been forged or altered is not a crime, sad to say, at least at the Federal level.
http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:18%20section:498%20edition:prelim)%20OR%20(granuleid:USC-prelim-title18-section498)&f=treesort&edition=prelim&num=0&jumpTo=true
For those of you playing along at home, that’s 18 USC 498:
§498. Military or naval discharge certificates
Whoever forges, counterfeits, or falsely alters any certificate of discharge from the military or naval service of the United States, or uses, unlawfully possesses or exhibits any such certificate, knowing the same to be forged, counterfeited, or falsely altered, shall be fined under this title 1 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
I’ll send the story and his info to the Clermont County Sheriff’s office. Curious to see if they have anything to say about this matter.
Yep.
There doesn’t seem to be any Federal statute regarding forgery of Federal documents in general (if one exists, I certainly couldn’t find it). But there are a few specifically defined forgery crimes in Federal law – and forging a DD214 is one of those few. If I recall correctly, the other types of forgery defined in Federal law by and large deal with financial instruments used in interstate commerce or banking.
I stand corrected. Still not a felony though.
Who asserted it was a felony? I guess I missed that part. But if it’s a felony you want, there’s always Ohio law, which has two flavors for document tampering, and using an altered or bogus DD214 to acquire a fee-free Vietnam Veteran plate would appear to qualify for the felony flavor.
“Isn’t forging a DD214 a crime?” Yes.
“Why isn’t this being prosecuted as a forgery?” Because someone has to give a shit.
Yep. Only a Federal misdemeanor, and it’s my understanding US Attorneys only rarely bother to prosecute those.
“Have you ever been convicted of a crime?”
“No, not really. It was only a federal misdemeanor.”
“Okay, well, thanks for stopping in. We’ll be in touch.”
My little exchange was meant to convey that misdemeanors can mean much, depending upon the specific crime committed. Tampering with a DD214 and speeding though a federal park are both misdemeanors but not in the same class nor viewed with the same regard. The former, at least for me, goes to deceit and signals a lack of trustworthiness. And it’s true that the bread and butter for US attorneys is the felony case but there are many thousands of misdemeanors filed in fed magistrate courts yearly. The prosecutor can file an information. No GJ is needed.
True. But according to DoJ, in FY2013 authorities filed charges for less than 8,800 misdemeanors – and over 80,400 felonies. I’d say that means “US Attorneys only rarely bother to prosecute” misdemeanors is an accurate assessment.

It looks like he’s sporting Petty Officer Third Class Crows (E-4) on those desert cammos. That picture must have been taken prior to his O-7 promotion.
I’d love to know where he got that DSC he claimed.
Defense of Hoth, or over Macho Grande?
He got it for helping the Enterprise and Captain Kirk get out of the Tholian web…
No general in the United States Army would wear his decorations in such a sloppy manner, especially at a formal event.
Interestingly (to me), his DD-214 has him in the old Republic of Viet Nam during the same time period that I was there (i.e., December 1969 – February 1972).
Also, to the best of my knowledge no 75th Ranger unit existed in the United States Army at that time.
Instead, they were designated the 75th Infantry Regiment (Airborne Ranger).
The 75th Infantry Regiment (Airborne Ranger) assigned one company to each of the Army’s divisions, to function as Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (i.e., “LRRP”, pronounced, “LURP).
Company L of the 75th Infantry Regiment (Airborne Ranger) was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), and their compound was located right next door to my own unit, the 501st Signal Battalion (Airmobile).
They wore camouflaged jungle fatigues with black berets.
Their perimeter guard bunkers were located between the bunkers of the 501st Signal Battalion (Airmobile) and the 801st Maintenance Battalion (Airmobile).
I once participated in a joint perimeter sweep patrol composed of the LRRPs and the 501st Signal, and that’s when I got my souvenir punji stake to bring back home (now stored at my sister’s house in Virginia).
It was the LRRPs, with their experienced eyes, that detected the booby traps.
O Co./75th Inf (RANGER) was stationed in Alaska during the latter part of the Vietnam War period, I believe, to support the LIB stationed there. I can’t find my most recent copy of the 75th Regt. Assn. magazine, “Patrolling,” to confirm. However, he lists his last assigned unit as “HHC, 75th Ranger Group, USARV,” which is about as real as his rank and service. As most of you know, Ranger School was 8 weeks back in the day, not 12, unless you were recycled and had a “do over” for phase one (Benning phase). But since he thinks jump school was at Ft. Bragg and lasts 9 weeks, fake General Marks prolly thinks his numbers make sense.
I too will never forget the battle of Macho Grande. I remember that Spring of 1847 and being surrounded by thousands of Mexicans just like it was yesterday. I think I need my PTS drink in a safe space now.
After reading this guy’s crap, this is one of the few times in my life that I have genuinely been rendered speechless.
What in the hell does he think that the U.S. was doing in Bosnia (a.k.a. Yugoslavia) from 15 Feb 78 – 15 Mar 80?
What in the hell is a ‘Grenada Servicice Medal’?
What in the hell is a ‘Bossnia Service Medal’?
What in the hell is a ‘Distuinguished Service Cross’?
Hopefully a real U.S. Army combat soldier will give this assclown a proper ‘counseling’ ASAP regarding that phony CIB.
Training Bosnian snipers in case a future FLOTUS landed?
“What in the hell is a ‘Grenada Servicice Medal’?”
Guess a bunch of us in the 22d MAU got ripped off, cuz all we got was an AFEM…though being a Corpsman, I did get a spiffy EGA to wear on mine.
Gotta hand it to the “General”, though. It’s not everyday you see someone claim a nonexistent decoration – simultaneously and manage to eff-up spelling the name of said nonexistent decoration. (smile)
“Brigadier General” Henry Stephen Marks – ballsack warrior!
You get promoted super fast when you attend “Office Candidate School” not the non-high speed Officer Candidate School. You go from butter bar to one-star in no time. 9 week jump school at Bragg, pfft.
Is this bozo even a citizen?
In Box 7 of his DD214, the “U.S.Citizen box” is “x’ed out” as a “No”.
Did he become a citizen after that date or since his DD214 is bullshit, did he ever become a U.S. citizen?
Isn’t a chapter 5 discharge he’s claiming similar to the section 8 M*A*S*H’s Klinger was always pursuing? Someone help me out please.
Among others.
https://armypubs.army.mil/Search/ePubsSearch/ePubsSearchDownloadPage.aspx?docID=0902c85180010729
Technically, Chapter 5 discharges for enlisted personnel are “Convenience of the Government”. Significant headspace/timing issues are only one of multiple types of Chapter 5 discharges. Another is the discharge of a non-citizen found to be in the US unlawfully.
Don’t know of any “Chapter 5” discharge for officers.
Plus he was able to sneak in 8 years going to school at Northwestern and Notre Dame. I’m surprised his code name wasn’t 007.
Whiskey tango foxtrot… Oscar
He prefers to be called “El General” since he was commander of Mexico Command.
Yep, the devil is always in the details.
One would think that if he took the time to phony up a Selective Service Number for that piece of garbage he calls a DD214, he would at least have spent some time researching the breakdown of the number and:
— Not used the state designator for Massachusetts (19) instead of Illinois (11).
— Failed to Match up both the board number and year of birth correctly.
— And lastly, there is now way in Hell he would have been the 1,440th registrant to that local board. The digits for that block only went up to three, not four.
But that’s what happens when you have Sticky Bums fingers and rely on a laser printer to type out a 1966 form.
Dumbass.
Interesting. My Selective Service Number hass four digits in the last block. Granted, the leading digit is, “zero”; as in, “0225”. But there are four digits in that box.
This guy is 1000 time more legit.
Go, go general, may you do hard time!
The Tux with the decorations sort of screams out fuckstick, but hey what do I know?
Dipshit. A one star (phony) dipshit but a dipshit nonetheless.
He does make one want to slap his stupid face with a brick bat.
100 times.
Accidentally.
AR 635-200 is “Enlisted Separations” and Chapter 5 is for the “convenience of the government.” It is the separation given to officer candidates, effective the day before they take the oath as officers. The text on the DD 214 reads “For the Purpose of Accepting a Commission.” Since he (falsely) claims “Office[r] Candidate School” he may have modeled his fake DD214 — at least in part — on that of a real soldier who graduated OCS.
The thing that caught my eye is the induction date of 15 June 1969 but his service dates for Indochina begins 21 January 1969.
Do these tards even do the math?
No. Next question?
These idiots, like so many of the guests in the prison systems across the U.S. of A., are so convinced they are smarter than those around them they cannot seem to identify even the simplest of their errors.
Reality needs to bite them in the tail – hard.
“Do these tards even do the math?”
1966 version of the DD214 in a font that didn’t exist back then?
On block 11c of that form, he cites the Army Regulations that govern enlisted administrative separations. That SPN code 434 refers to an “early release” program, but he cites the message DTG as December 74 but his separation date is February 19, 1974 (several months before the DTG of that message).
If he had continuous service, shouldn’t his effective date of separation be the 1st of the month since he was “a general” who retired? (IIRC, the retirement date of officers is the first day of the month, not any other day).
Quick, down and dirty math from his date of induction to his separation date (after serving 35 years, 9 months and 24 days) comes to about April 5th or 6th, 2005.
If his DOR was 1 August 2014, then why does his DD214 show he was only entitled to $250,000.00 SGLI when that amount was increased to $400,000.00 after 9/11 (Public Law 109-13).
BMC Forman says “Dumbass!!” Enjoy your Google fame.
Comment #100.
When did he ever find time to get his 4 year degree in order to be commissioned. Northwestern University did not have any distance learning degrees back then and I doubt Notre Dame did either.
He did it all by correspondence courses during the four straight years he was in country in “Indochina.”
The Postal Service works twice as fast for 17 year old sekrit squirrels.
The requirement for a degree to hold an Army commission is relatively new. Under the new guidelines, though, he would have to have completed an undergraduate degree to stay in the military as an officer, and complete a Senior Service College for promotion to general officer.
least in the early ’80s, believe you had to have at least an Associate’s to qualify and it was generally accepted that to have any decent chance to be selected for OCS a Bachelor’s was almost essential. If you did have an Associate’s you could plan on getting that Bachelor’s before you got to O-3 because it was required to move up from there. I think the only officers I ever saw with an AA were warrants.
Back in 1973/74 the Army was engaged in a major officer RIF. In the 10th SFGA we lost numerous company grade officers because they did not have college degrees. Some captains I knew were prior enlisted and could only stay in if they agreed to revert to E-6. So the officer requirement of a degree has been around for a long time. This clown would not have been allowed to keep his commission and stay on active duty even as an O-3, let alone as an O-4 or 5.
I hope the local POPO have a nice long talk with HENRY “STEVE” MARKS followed by a long talk with the local DA… maybe there’s a jail cell with Julio, Bubba, Thor and Mr. “Tiny” waiting for him in his future?
The most we can hope for is they revoke his Plates and fine him. Not going to hold my breath though.
Dunno, JAOD. Depending on the state’s vehicle taxes, if that plate came with a tax waiver he might owe the state of Ohio a fair chunk of change.
Prosecutors sometimes get rather annoyed when someone defrauds the state out of tax receipts via fraud.
Hopefully the guy is in a jurisdiction that has a vet as the local prosecutor.
Don’t know what the fraud and forgery statutes are in OH but in Colorado what he did by submitting a falsified document to a public official would be a class 5 felony.
IIRC, wasn’t there a gent in Ohio who got a BCD, turned around and falsely obtained vet plates?
While my memory ain’t all it used to be, he got nailed pretty good for it, too.
Maybe it was Keith Chandler?
Not BCD I don’t believe but a Purple Heart Fraud nonetheless.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=58843
http://www.burnpit.us/2014/09/ohio-veteran-indicted-faking-dd214-purple-heart-license-plates
It was, and yes, he had a BCD, according to the 2014 stories posted.
You’re right SEA, I didn’t read all the way back to the first post….
According to the local authorities, Chandler had a bad conduct discharge for the military.
If the county sheriff holds jurisdiction, then yes:
http://www.clermontsheriff.org/sheriff.aspx
“Sheriff Rodenberg served on active duty as an Officer with the U.S. Marines during which he was appointed to the Commanding General’s Honor List for outstanding academic and leadership performance.”
Not sure what that means, but he is a vet.
“…during which he was appointed to the Commanding General’s Honor List for outstanding academic and leadership performance.”
That sounds like he may have been one of the the top graduates in his class as a brand-new 2ndLt at The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA, and he could have been placed on the Commanding General’s Honor Roll in recognition of that achievement.
Looking forward to Jonn’s follow-up with the article about Marks’ arrest for fraud in a few weeks.
Really, Steve, the badly faked DD-214 was sad, but going for the Vietnam Veteran license plates was just extreme hubris. It’s always the cocky ones who are smarter than everyone else who fall first.
Ain’t that the way it always is? Jails and prisons are always chock full of innocent people that are smarter than the system.
His nickname is no doubt “Skid” Marks.
Weird… the Beechmont Fitness Club facebook page is no longer available. I could swear it was up yesterday. Any of you dickweeds know anything about that?

Wait… nevermind. Must have been user error. It is there now. Dang.
Dude strikes me as more of a used car or insurance salesman.
Go to the General and save some time!
SSG E wins the award for “Best lead of the month”. This thing called Esprit de corps is every bit the equal to Semper Fi. It might take a few days, but personal contact with the Sheriff will produce some good odds on Groucho having to face some music his C D player will not play. Bound to be the same with S F, SEALS, and a few other tight knit groups. When you find one of your own at the top of the heap today, they always lend an ear to another from the past. For the moment, I’ll start it at 50/50.
Meanwhile, “Hey Groucho, the secret word is gonna bring that duck down on you like a bat out of hell. George Fenneman is NOT going to be able to help you!”
Thank you SSG E.

About that license plate. Comparing it to persons with most any kind of military rating here, those folks receive a specific plate that not only says “Disabled Veteran”, but also shows the branch of service one served in. Conversely, anybody can get a very similar plate to the one on the back of his vehicle. Those type license plates are referred to as “Vanity Plates”, which cost the owner an additional $50 per year. The state sees to it that there are NOT two special order vanity plates in the state which are identical. Years ago when I was in business, mine read “I Show Up”…which did get me some business. Albeit only one in the state, but it was not an original idea on my part. Once while in Florida I had seen that on a Florida truck.
Worth mentioning the State prohibits special requests for vanity plates that could be taken as obscene. In other words, one could NOT have a special vanity plate that read, “Clark Schreiber is a con man!”
That “2 TRS” crap on the plate isn’t the issue. The issue is that he has plates that the Ohio DMV specifically limits to whom they are issued. In this case, the plates on his car is allowed only to be issued to vehicles registered to a Vietnam Veteran. According to Ohio law:
A honorably discharged veteran must submit either a copy of the DD 214 or a statement from the commanding officer verifying date of in country service in Vietnam between August 5, 1964, and May
7, 1975. Medals on DD 214 proving in country service: Vietnam Service Medal (VSM, VNSM, Vietnam Campaign Medal (VCM, RVCM RVNCM). If no medal(s)are indicated on the DD 214, the DD 214 must show the established in country dates set by Congress.
We know that he wasn’t in Vietnam, so the plates were obtained illegally.
Ohio BMV is investigating the General and his plate.
Better keep an eye on your mom.
Or just tell this maggot to get lost.
Hmmm, using a formal service uniform to lure kids and shows up uninvited to a hospital room?
Sounds a lot like COL Ken Crotchrot, Part Deux.
But I guess the act of impersonating a commissioned officer is not a crime on the books any more. But I would call it in just to see if the cops would confiscate the uniform the next time he has a touchy-feely photo session with kids or makes a hospital visit. He’s not authorized to be wearing a uniform with Flag Officer Rank.
And Yes, keep close tabs on your Mom and the kids. BTW, does he drive a windowless van?
He’s just not insane. This speaks of being a full blown predator of the innocent.
Nope, 18 USC 912 is still on the books.
And easy access to kids.
