Alex Popovic Subway sandwich shop commando

| June 13, 2012

A lovely young lady who will remain nameless here sent the following piece to us about a guy she met in her local Subway sandwich shop while he was slicing and dicing and telling his war stories. She thought it was a little odd that he’d being working in a sandwich shop after he told her that he’d been advising President Bush on strategy for the global war against terror and did some research on the guy.

She’s been looking for a venue to publish her research when she discovered TSO’s battle against uncommon stupidity last week and settled on TAH.

This is Alex Popovic, CEO and Founder of Greyside Group; you can view his website here www.greysidegroup.com.

By their own admission they have the “Highest Legal, Moral, and Professional Business practices in the Industry”.

Let’s look at the first paragraph of his bio:

“Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Mr. Popovic immigrated to the Unites States in 1986, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1994. Earning a degree in Chemical Engineering at Florida State University, he garnered minors in mathematics and physics as well. In 1993 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, rising to serve in elite U.S. Special Operations units for 10 years. Mr. Popovic participated in classified and unclassified missions throughout the world, including Liberia, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He was awarded the Silver Star for valor and the Purple Heart for wounds sustained in combat. He has briefed former President George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and various national security advisors and national military command council members on strategies and tactics during the Global War on Terror after the events of 11 September 2001. ”

WOW! Impressive!

– Silver Star Recipient-
– Purple Heart Recipient
– Briefed former President George Bush and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld

The Real issue. Confirmation from the Marine Corps-

NO SILVER STAR. NO PURPLE HEART. NO CAR.

NOT EVEN A COMBAT ACTION RIBBON!

A degree at FSU? I see an Aleksandar Popovic with a degree from FSU….but he is a Serbian politician.

What a Coincidence!

Sounds like this guy would be working at a Subway store, not briefing former President Bush.

Which reminds me……he WAS a Subway manager, and managed to work his way up to owner. Maybe the CAR is a sandwich, not an award? (Chicken Avocado Ranch?)

Question of the day – With the Stolen Valor issue- doesn’t it seem like this poser has built an industry on military honors he has not received?

I’ve seen her documentation, but I’m not publishing it here at her request since she’s also approached ABC News.

@300 – GT, you’re killin’ me… Just spat a perfectly good mouthful of Napa Valley Cabernet out my nose…

Green Thumb

@302.

“Napa Valley Cabernet” sounds like IVAW’s drink of choice.

Just kidding.

Enjoy the evening.

I am giving my buisness to Robin Hood. And that sucks!

Out.

avngrl

I am going to call that reporter tomorrow.

Its unethical not to fact check. It ruins careers. Its like she paraded around a show monkey and he played right into it.

Maybe the real story IS the video itself.

Isn’t this meat slinger disabled? How is he “guarding us from the dangerous pirates” if he is not physically 100%

He fell out if a truck. That is his war wound.

Who the fuck is he to comment on anything?

He fell out of a truck and played it for all its worth.

rabbi

Green Thumb

A foot long turd this man is…

defender

I have been involved and known Alex for years. He IS a true hero. How dare you accuse a disabled vet with METALS of being a liar.
He is a hero and has top secret clearance.
He cannot defend himself because of top secret missions.
He is considered the elite force of securityhe is complex and and must stay under radar.

NHSparky

Well fuck then…if you say so! Screw those silly facts, some dude on the Internet says so, and it’s a rule you can’t put it on the Internet if it ain’t true, right?

Green Thumb

@313.

This clown is a double decker turd!

With half the meat.

Loser.

Hondo

defender (or should I say “apopl”): oh, that’s very different. We’re sorry to doubt Popvich. What METALS does he have? Lead? Iron? Brass? Stainless Steel? Aluminum?

It’s “medals”, you idiot. Metal is what a military medal is made of.

Figures, though. Anyone who’d defend this tool has to be an idiot.

A Proud Infidel

#313, did you even make it to the fourth grade before you dropped out of school and started drawing welfare?

OldSargeUSAR

@313
METALS??? Top secret missions??? You fool.

Total moron.

malclave

@313

If he cannot defend himself because of his top secret missions, how do you know about them?

Ex-PH2

Hey, Alex, you phony twit, don’t make yourself look any stupider than you already do by getting some braindead girl to defend you online.

Seriously, has that dog you have in a chokehold run away yet?

A Proud Infidel

Ex-PH2, I’m certain that the dog went back to his true home next door after poser-boy gave him a biscuit for the photo op!

Ex-PH2

One can only hope, Infidel!

aviatngrl

I hope he doesn’t kill that girls dog for spilling his secrets about his “top secret missions” and I want to see these “metals” – which may in fact be an accurate statement. He may have “metals” – what he does NOT have is “medals”.

Or a chest to pin it on. Hiding behind a skirt. Nice.

She must have attended FSU with him (by his own admission). Laughable.

Ex-PH2

I think I recognize that coat and hat he’s wearing in the photo. There are Renaissance Faires everywhere in this country, and India ethnic-clothing stores, too, so he either picked it up at a Renny vendor’s shop or he stopped of at an India shop and it was on sale 50% off.

Anyone besides me ever notice that the Afghans still wear the hat that Marco Polo wore when he traveled to Cathay, back in the day? You can get the pattern for that hat at almost any fabric store or vendor that sells vintage patterns. I have several for the Elizabethan period.

Hondo

So, Ex-PH2: so, would that make him a “Renaissance Fairy”? (smile)

Ex-PH2

Heehee! Yes, it would! 🙂

@325.

Renaissance Fairy. Thats funny.

This guy is a shitbag.

Green Thumb

@327 ws me.

Sorry.

Guy is still a shitbag.

Turd.

A Proud Infidel

The “weapons” he’s sporting remind me of the airsoft guns I saw at one booth at a gun show a few months ago. One was a full-auto Airsoft M249, ONLY @$650! I went there to try and find any deals on ammo, but NOOOPE, that was priced like it was made of gold!

Subway Hero

http://www.greysidegroup.com is DOWN…nothing but a simple landing page. Must be related to his stealing the website data from other companies. See the Triple Canopy lawsuit against GreySide Group and Alex Popovic…Suddenly….they have a ‘new’ address…2010 Corporate Ridge Dr, Suite 700
Mclean VA 22102….What happened to the Regus “office” space at 12801 Worldgate drive???

Subway Hero

Another Regus Office….http://www.regus.com/locations/office-space/virginia-mclean-corporate-ridge

new phone number, as well. I may be giving him a call ;)…703.774.9567

Ex-PH2

So he’s not making sandwiches any more?

avigrl

That location is a virtual office. They provide a street address, a local number and a phone answering service but physically there is no office location. Commercial properties increase revenue by leasing office spaces, cubicles, and even virtual offices which allow companies to use the address.

$199 a month!

Here is a link to validate.

I was hoping it would be a subway but sadly this location only exists in cyberspace

Green Thumb

The number is legit.

Have fun….

Good stuff.

ScrambleF5

Popovics bio probably now claims he caught the terrorists who bombed Boston and then briefed Obama on his tactics.

Green Thumb

This clown is ducking me.

Told the admin assistant that we could speak or go to the papers.

We will see.

Turd.

Ex-PH2

Next time you call this guy, GT, ask him what the auto upholstery shop was where he bought that fabric for his coat. And tell him Marco Polo wants his hat back. 😉

Hondo

And be sure to compliment him on his “Renaissance Fairy” outfit, too. (smile)

A_Proud_Infidel

That, and ask him if that was his Neighbor’s dog, or a stray he “snagged” for his photo!

Ex-PH2

Just out of pure curiosity — well, mostly because people who say and do completely ridiculous things can be an inspiration for pure, unadulterated bull goose looneyness, I went to the link up top #16, posted by Blackfive, which leasd to the “Shrine of Mall Ninja”, and found this. It is precious, but swallow liquids before reading:

“I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas.”

And that is where his legend begins. Happy Monday!!!!! 🙂

#340

A Sandwich Sniper is a highly trained Meat Gazer who operates the sandwich bar alone, in a pair, or with a team of ELITE SUBWAY SHOP COMMANDOS. These sandwich snipers operate independently, with little combat support from their parent units. Sandwich Snipers typically have highly selective and specialized DELI training. They are able to add condiments using a single shot method.

“One bought…one fill” the elite sandwich tactical force motto for the lunchtime deli crowd

Green Thumb

This turd looks like he has filled a few holes in his day.

Green Thumb

@341.

No good.

Marine_7002

@340 – aha! An entirely new new category of poseurs!!!

Shopping SWAT? Retail Rangers? Meal SEALS (for malls with food courts)? The possibilities are endless…

Ex-PH2

I know how #313 has ‘been involved and known Alex for years’, per quote: #313 has a working vacuum with attachments and Alex is in love with it.

Triple Canopy Vs. Greyside

Link to the complaint Triple Canopy filed against Greyside Group…full compliant. http://goo.gl/djW1L

#340 Ex PH2: Thanks. I was in a frump and that link took me out of it. That is hilarious…but scary that clowns like that are amongst us.

BoBo

In reading the complaint and looking at the new website, it appears that TC may have gotten an injunction. Here are some interesting points…

1) Greyside group changed from Network Solutions to HostGator.
2) The “website” content was not transferred only a landing page. This is consistent with TC’s demands that the content be taken down but preserved in its entirety. By simply pointing the name greyside group from network solutions to host gater they can accomplish both.
3) the new greyside landing page is NOT soliciting for business and has no content at all. The only links are for “media” and “employment”. This is also consistent with the TC demands that greyside not engage in the business.

could this be the coup de grace for the greyside group?
