Dennis Chevalier; phony Air Force LTC/Pilot

| February 17, 2014

Dennis Chevalier
Scotty sends his latest on this guy, Dennis Chevalier, who claims to be a member of the Civil Air Patrol and a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and a pilot, but it turns out that he’s just a corporal in the Texas State Guard (not to be confused with the Texas National Guard). He even claims to be a Stolen Valor “Hunter”, but he has yet to bust any posers.

Here he is posing as a LTC in the Civil Air Patrol;

And he claims to be a retired AF LTC;

The Air Force says “Who?”

Yeah, I know he doesn’t look like he’s wired too tightly, but still, phony is a phony;

CAP Guy

A few more holes in the story.

Surely a CAP Lieutenant Colonel would know that the correct format for name and rank is this: Your Name, Lt Col, CAP
He was using LTC–the Army way. I had to learn that lesson when I rejoined CAP as a senior member.

He also referred to a T-41 Bird Dog. Wrong. It’s T-41 Mescalero. An O-1 is a Bird Dog.

Attention to detail…gets them every time.

Cap-Guy

As a current CAP member, I can confirm the following:

1. He is NOT a current CAP member, but I am inclined to believe that he was at one time.

2. We fly Cessna 172s, 182s, and the Gippsland G-1000. That’s it.

CAPmember

In picture 2 from “SOS” in 2011 the guy is wearing a blue nametag with CAP insignia. In CAP we reserve blue nametags with white writing for Cadets. Senior members wear grey with white writing unless they wear a blues jacket then it is polished metal name tag AF style. I am a 1LT and served as a cadet from 13 to nearly 21. As someone who has spent more than half a lifetime with the organization, this stood out immediately.

He put his “stolen valor” page back up after scrubbing the hell out of it. He’s still claiming to be some high speed tactical trainer. He’s also using Don Shipley’s course in his bio. I’m sure Don would love to have this guy’s name so he can watch out for him. Maybe pick ol’ Denny boy out for some “special love.” I still find it ironic that Dennis claims to be a stolen valor hunter.

fedupexwifeofdhc

Huh? He never took shipley class?

Hondo

I wonder if Don Shipley keeps records of who takes his course.

I was able to locate the SETI logs you say he says he is a retired USAF on. It bothers me that there are TWO email blocks there and as I read the entire 17 pages of it is says by others that he answers from across 3 accounts. Its looks like (to me) he might of simply got tired of typing and didn’t finish his email signature.

As for the other things here, I called Wilmer PD where he was a police LT in their SWAT teams and he was!

I called the Texas Wing of the Civil Air Patrol and he is a twice retired Lt. Col. (he had cancer and retired, then got better and went on to continue and retired again in December 2013.

I also checked his publications. He is featured in several books and papers for investigations AND his son was shot and I think killed by a serial killer in Frisco, Texas.

This guy is the real deal I think aside from his typo I’m giving him benefit of the doubt because all over FB is asked if he is AF and he says NO.

I can’t find the flight aware entries but the FAA says he is a Commercial pilot and instructor but his medical is expired.

I think you messed up with this guy but what do I know…keep up the good work.

GDContractor

Linda – he wasn’t tired of typing when he posted on the flight aware forum that he used to fly C-130H Compass Call in Iraq. Now that post is gone, as if that burrito never happened. Apparently he wasn’t too tired to do some house cleaning. On Facebook he claimed to have flown the C-130 and T-38 among others. Also, as pointed out in post #151 above, he doesn’t apparently know the difference between a taildragger and a tricycle gear single engine Cessna. As Green Thumb so succinctly put it, the guy is a turd.

GDContractor

So much for the shot and killed by a serial killer hypothesis:

@ 157– Civil Air Patrol Retired Status. A member in good standing with a minimum of 20 years service as a member, not necessarily continuous and not including cadet time, is eligible to retire from Civil Air Patrol. Also members having 10 years service as of 1 December 1994 may retire with 12 years service.

All this means for the CAP member is once retired, members will not actively participate in any capacity.

Regardless he has no Federal military commission and no Federal military commissioned officer rank.

Hondo

GDContractor: yeah, and that one about his son has also been captured – just in case it too “disappears” somehow.

GDContractor

@160 Bravo. I didn’t figure he could go back and clean his tracks but that shows how much I know.

And another thing…. he never seems “too tired” to type most of this crap every time he pokes his head out:
“Ph.D., CPPP, ACOFEI Executive Director -Behavioral Science Unit Consortium of Scientific Investigation and Research ® Member -The American College of Forensic Examiners International”

He does, however, always seem “too tired” to say where he earned his Ph.D. Usually, folks that worked their ass off to earn one, usually state where the earned it. And another thing http://www.behavioral-analysis-unit.us is a dead link.

And another thing Linda, he was a RESERVE Police LT. This turd smells like a Bernath in a lot of ways.

OldSargeUSAR

@148

That “note” has vanished.

Hondo

Lots of places offer PhDs, GDContractor. Some of them are even recognized and accredited universities.

Some, on the other hand, are a bit different.

A Proud Infidel

WHA? WAIT!! Somebody like Dennis Chevalier using a “Degree” from a “Diploma Mill’ to gain acceptance? I’M SHOCKED, I TELL YOU, SHOCKED!!!
WAITAMINNIT, no, I’m not!! That falls right in line with the rest of the con games he’s played, just like DANIEL A. BERNATH THE FAKE CPO!!!

GDContractor

@165 yeah thanks Hondo. I actually think this guy is too much of a liar to order and pay for a fake diploma though. And hey, I don’t offer this proudly, but proof is where you find it. (It’s amazing what people put up on the internet.) To this turd’s son, you have my complete sympathy. I hope you made it to ESE by other means and I hope don’t look back.

@166 Proud don’t worry man. I’m not shocked at the ass wipe. Remember, when we were kids, he was the neighborhood whiny boy kid we would make play the German! Just so we could kill him…all day long! 😀 The dipshit!

GDContractor

Just in case nobody gets it, in the link I provided in #167 “Don” is aka The Hair…. and “ESE” is Extreme Seal Experience. What a fucking asshole of a Dad… complete fucking asshole….

Linda

on his FB site is the following oh and BTW 163 is TCOLE account shows Wilmer as a paid full-time position. I saw it and also see the other carnivores are still drooling…oh well…its interesting how they only print what they want and not complete messages. when I was asked about what I fly i was driving and using Google voice translator so many things get jumbled up, no matter they are just to stupid to and lazy to do any real investigating………………….. comma’s and periods get lost (I.E. Bird Dog AND T-41’s AND T-34’s and so on. what many don’t realize is I was flying WAY before most of those idiots were ever born and in CAP WE DID have and USE all of those A/C. In today’s CAP they are now all corporate aircraft and are just G-1000, C-172, 182, 210’s. But when I was flying we had the really fun plans. CAP allowed me to get training and check-rides in aircraft types I wouldn’t EVER been able to afford or normally have access to. But AGAIN …………..NO ONE EVER ASKED ME A GODDAMN QUESTION…… They just decided to fuck over what they have no ability to understand. This is the mentality of the bully, a person so full of self-hate they spread it like wildfire into every space of the world. I also see they made comments of my son as did you……..Bryan was not killed he was shot twice………………everyone thinks they are a goddamn expert on my life without asking the one person that put it all together…ME! —— Guys I did check and there are alot of articles out on Chevalier and he is the real deal. All I see is your hoping on the ONE entry of “USAF, Retired” and folks that just doesn’t fly with me. When asked he always say NO to being or having ever been USAF so really folks…I am really disappointed on what you have done to this man. it seems he has been through some real hell. and before you start guessing like you have been doing all… Read more »

GDContractor

So google voice just threw in C-130 and T-38? What about his claim of flying the C-130H Compass Call in Iraq? Google voice again? Where did he get his Ph.D. Linda? That would seem easy to ascertain and verify by someone who is a professional background checker.

Linda

WoW you don’t care what you throw out there do you?
Do you have any ethical standards or are all of you just like he wrote about in “YaHell” about bullies behind computers…I’m out of here

Linda

One more thing, is it true you never asked him anything?

Sparks

@172 Linda…GDContractor just asked an easy and simple to answer question. From where did Dennis get his PHD? Easy enough I think, don’t you?

GDContractor

Hey Linda, I didn’t write it… I just found it. Sorry it does not conform to your hypothesis. In my experience (and yes, I was born when Chevalier was flying T-38’s or whatever) quite often, people that have been through hell have had some part in bringing it on themselves. My sympathy goes to the wives and the kids. Ciao.

Sparks

@175 GDContractor. I’m with you there. All sympathy for wives and kids of this guy. For him…zippo!

GDContractor

@173 I never asked him anything, I am just a God Damn Contractor. Picking up the phone is above my pay grade.

Hondo

Yeah, we have standards, “Linda”.

We don’t claim to be stuff we aren’t, or do stuff we haven’t done.

Hondo

Yes, Linda – what “university” conferred the “good doctor’s” PhD? What year? In what field of study?

I don’t believe we’ve seen that so far. And the absence of that information – which most with a PhD are more than willing to make public – does raise a few questions.

Who loves ya, baby? Here, have a lollipop.

Yeah, I know, the mind is a teribble thing.

GDContractor

Re post#170 “everyone thinks they are a goddamn expert on my life without asking the one person that put it all together…ME!”

I find that statement very revealing…..”one person that put it all together…ME”. If I was a criminal profiler instead of just a God Damn Contractor, I might observe something along the lines of: “very often, pathological liars feel the need to control the narrative and the information stream.”

2/17 Air Cav

So is my spelling, sometimes.

Linda

oh I must say that all of you here have done a wonderful job of insinuating, inferring, guessing and outright lieing in my opinion resulting in the screwing of this guy that until now was providing free training/licensing and investigative services for all vets and active duty persons and their families.
You have vilified this man in such a way that I thought was not possible by human beings.
As as far as his son is concerned you went to far.
WAY TO FAR.

-L

2/17 Air Cav

Is it true that you did not depose him? Yes.

Is it true that you did not certify your questions, under notary, and give him and his counsel at least 30 days to respond? Yes, it is.

Is it true that you have based your speculative conclusions mainly upon his own writings? Yes, it is.

Well, then, you got nuthing! You should be ashamed! Yes, we are. But I still say he is Telly Savalas reincarnated.

Hondo

Proud Infidel: please – I did not say Chevalier got his PhD from a diploma mill.

I don’t think that anyone here knows where he got his PhD. If we did, that could be easily enough verified by contacting the school.

I do wonder why that information (the institution granting his degree) seems to be so difficult to find, though. It almost seems like that information is being withheld for some reason.

Linda

I haven’t asked him about his PhD or DM but I know the later if from Colorado Technical University I think. Haven’t checked that as there was/is no need to in my opinion.

2/17 Air Cav

Hey, and John Wayne Gacy made a lot of kids smile–many more than he killed. So, there’s that.

Hondo

By the way, “Linda” – it’s spelled “lying”.

Linda

I see that this place is as he described in his book YaHell. and you all really should seek psychological help.

-L

GDContractor

Hey Linda, I got news for you. The father son thing was public info. One of the parties involved in the correspondence posted it PUBLICLY. It was not password protected in any way shape or form. If you feel that it should not have been disclosed, it would appear that your issue is with the person that posted it on the INTERNET with a Expiry of NEVER.

You come in here from God knows where politely insinuating and implying that Chevalier is a good cub scout. However, there appears to be evidence to the contrary. Why is it going “way too far” in pointing out that evidence exists?

Where’d that PhD come from again?

2/17 Air Cav

I knew a fake Ph.D. once. She was head of a MD agency. She absolutely insisted that no one call her doctor. She thought that was so snooty. Well, turns out that her insistence was to save her from constant reminders of her Big Lie. You see, she had no doctorate and, within 24 hours of that being learned by the governor, she had no job either. Dr. Chevalier has a nice ring to it.

Linda

GDContractor see #186

leaving the circus now

2/17 Air Cav

Linda: Can you recommend a good Ph.D? Does Doctor Chevalier take patients?

GDContractor

@192 you came of your own free will I assume. Clean up the peanut hulls on your way out please.

OIF '06-'07-'08

Is Linda a sock puppet, or is “Linda” Dennis himself? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Just An Old Dog

He has did everything to himself. Him bullshitting about his background, the way he treated his sons and spouses. He can go back to teaching his half assed classes and feeding people in his living room and garage all he wants. If people want to check him out this site is here.

2/17 Air Cav

Toby Tyler, Ph.D.

Green Thumb

Here we go again.

Maybe it was an “Honorary” PhD.

He could work for the VA seeing patients or APL.

Sky is the limit.

Mr Blue

#195: If Standard Phony Procedure is to be followed, Linda is most likely the current gal pal of Dennis.

Linda

Well that would be funny and normally I like a good joke but I am not Chevalier. I did however just get off the telephone with his son Bryan and he said “That was a private letter how the fuck did they get that”

I am recommending to him that criminal charges be filed. it seems you hacked that information.

WOW a lot of criminals calling Chevalier a criminal…simply WOW
