Joey Galindo – Green Beret Fake
The Guardians of the Green Beret just posted a case on Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo. Galindo lives in Fresno, CA and is 60 years old at the time of this write-up – Aug 2021.
Joey claimed to be both a Staff Sergeant and Master Sergeant but used the abbreviation ‘SSGT’ instead of the US Army accepted ‘SSG.’
He also has tattoos suggesting he was a Green Beret.
The rack posted to his Facebook account suggests he was awarded the Bronze Star with “V” as well as a Purple Heart.
The military records obtained by the GotGB from NPRC shed some light on what Joey actually did…
It appears that Joey Galindo was an SP4 (E-4) wheeled vehicle mechanic. SP4 which was later changed by the Army to SPC. Point is he was an E-4 before he achieved the lower rank of Private (E-1). This is opposite in direction from the claimed ranks of SSG (E-6) and MSG (E-8).
There was also no indication that Galindo started or completed the necessary training to become a Green Beret.
There is no listing of a Purple Heart in his records.
There is much more to this case over at the Guardians of the Green Beret. We encourage you to visit Galindo’s case over there to get more detail.

It appears the only combat this guy has done is fighting to stuff his face. If this guy falls on you it will be truly death from above.
Cue the Meal Team Six jokes, of course…
You forgot Gravy SEALs. 😜
His Sooperdooperwonderwompus Secret Code name was “Sta-Puf”!
The last time he wore a yellow raincoat he had people running up behind him yelling “TAXI!!!”.
😂🤣😂🤣
Hey, there’s footage of him in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nph-3nljPJ8&t=15s
And him jumping at Bragg. Of course they had to LAPES his big ass in ..seen at
1:07
hey now! Stay Puft man was actually in combat, unlike that fat shitbird.
Joey Galindo looks like a human Amoeba!
Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo participated in the Battle of Buffet Gorge.
Good one, I’m jealous I didn’t come up with that!
It’s an old insult, APL. Feel free to use the line in the future.
Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo got over a Macho Grande burrito at Juan’s house of Tacos
And survived the events at Bent Fork…
I flushed a face just like that a few minutes ago !!!
The photo of Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo looking down over his double chin, is the last thing many an innocent burrito saw before being devoured.
Achieved being a screw-up… now compounded with lying.
Nice combat jump!
Definitely a three-chute heavy drop…
Right into the toilet at All-Points Logistics.
He looks like a MEAL Team Six Commando, one who has never met a buffet that he didn’t like. He ought to chin up, ALL FOUR of them! Who am I kidding, he has more Chins than the Hong Kong phone directory. That short of a Time in Service has “DICKSTEPPER” written all over it and no NDSM as well.
A Proud Infidel@,
And the probability is 99% that
Blowy Joey is bullhorning the long line
with tales of derring never done,
and then stealing free food,
from the annual Veterans Day buffet at Golden Corral.
This November, he can microwave a Totino’s personal pizza.
Or 20.
This fat fuck qualifies as his own duty station.
His favorite combat film is Pork Chop Hill.
The only reason this fat fuck was never deployed to Guam is because they thought he would tip the island over.
He wipes his ass with a roll of Bounty Paper Towels.
When he was on active duty, he wasn’t on weight control. He was on weight out of control.
“This fat fuck qualifies as his own duty station.”
He was assigned his own UIC.
No buffet is over, you just don’t turn it off!
His face looks like Hillary Clinton’s ass.
I just threw upin my mouth….
How were you able to see HRC’s a$$?
Asking for a friend.
Or you saw her in Spandex and extrapolated the data? 😉
tshe,
Huma knows…. Probably better than Bill.
Reminds of the line in Caddyshack..

Just so there is no confusion:
Joey = Despicable FIFY
Well, Well, Well, been a bit bit since we had a lying, embellishing POS claiming the Green Bay Rhett like the lying, embellishing POS found in the personage of Joseph (Joey) Paul Galindo Jr. Bet that Mr. Galindo Sr. is real proud of his bouncing baby boy. NOT!!!
Wheel mechanic? Naw, meal mechanic is more like it. Seems as if you have worked your fat slovenly face thru many a meal as a buffet assault commando. Surprised you didn’t add SEAL and sniper to your lies. You look like a seal, walrus type 1 each, AND you look like you ate a seal, walrus type 19 each.
The lying embellishing POS Joseph (Joey) Paul Galindo doesn’t even make a decent phony. Where’s your doo rag, moto sickle, PTSD Claims, the Service Dog? It like you’re not even trying. You do have the sissy ass mirrored shades, the punk ass tats, and the vest, so there is that. There’s a group near you that you may need to be aware of that loves people that wear vests…and lies and embellishes. Got a taste for chili, Joey? I doubt it, you’re weak sauce all around.
Could care less about your tales of derring do and all the other unearned bling you are wearing, you sissy punk. However, by claiming the Purple Heart, you are standing on the bodies and in the blood of Warriors that are waaaaaay yonder better than your lying, embellishing, despicable POS ass will ever be. That alone gets you a Motion Made for the deployment of the TAH As(s)teroid of Insults. Enjoy your inherwebz fame, BITCH…unlike fakebook, it can’t be scrubbed. And like the disgust we have for you, it is forever.

Looks like the truck slipped off the jack.
DD-214 should show medical discharge.
Bathroom selfie – “Get some!”
That actually looks like him in the picture. You just need to put a silly beret on him and he could be a “Green” beret. Not an actual Special Forces qualified Soldier but a kind of pistachio green beret wearing wannabe!
Funny, he had the unit right for the 82nd to get a combat star on his unearned jump wings. They were the ones that decided to jump in anyway even tough the Rangers had secured the Air Field…they didn’t bother telling their Soldiers and they ended up shooting at the Rangers. Luckily the Rangers had enough discipline to not fire back and to contact them on the radio before someone got hurt!!!
Of course this Samich Master never even made it to ‘Bragg so what would he know about that!
Has anyone found Joe Blow’s page on the Book of the Fake?
Perhaps 4 days of GGB exposure has already pushed him to POOF.
That Expeditionary Medal with non-ferrous fruit salad is a pip.

Joey “I ate 10 bags of donuts and have this quadruple chin” Galindo = COCKSUCKER!
Joey the Hutt
Disgusting! This morbidly obese POSer was apparently a high level dickstepper to manage a general discharge and reduction in rank to E-1. Looks like the only thing he accomplished in his brief service was successful completion of basic and AIT. It seems odd he ended up in a personnel services company as a wheeled vehicle SP4, but couldn’t even hack that and had to be given the boot with only about a year of service in what should have been at least a three year tour in beautiful Deutschland. Maybe the great German beer and food was his downfall. But he is a success as a stolen valor POSer. The only things missing in his fraudulent performance is a Harley and a “service” dog to assist with his fake PTS of D.
Having a 63B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic assigned to work on the company’s jeeps/trucks is standard procedure, but I know where it all went wrong. A little bit of research reveals that the 257th PSC was stationed at our old stomping grounds (Baumholder) while he did his 11 months./smile
Beautiful Baumholder was our major training site. I watched the first moon landing on a shitty little black and white tv in the battalion HQ office when it went down. During my tour with the 2/509th I made two trips to Baumholder. The most difficult thing was getting our M113’s and M106’s to and from Baumholder; they had to be loaded on railroad flatcars and sent by rail. Then the wheeled vehicles went by road.
My first FRG tour (stationed at Wiesbaden AB) ’76-79. we road marched our tanks there for off cycle gunnery (went to Graff for the big shoot)every year. Nary a fog marker survived.
wasn’t the unaccompanied tour at that time 12 months?
I know it was 24 months in the late 80s, but was shorter in the 70s and early 80s.
Don’t think so. No short tours. I knew single soldiers (in the mid-70’s timeframe) who spent their entire three year enlistments (after BCT/AIT) in Germany.
Same in the early 90’s.
The only reason I left at only fifteen months was because I had orders to the Viet of the Nam. People who had MOS’s that weren’t in demand or had already recently completed RVN service could expect two to three years in the FRG, irrespective of whether they came with dependents.
Yeah, that European tour seems a little short…plus the fact that he lost a few ranks on the way out the door! Can someone say Big Chicken Dinner!!!!
Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo the walking obscenity was booted while Jimmeh Kahtuh was in Office, that was during a time it took some serious dickstepping to get kicked out!
As a “LIFE” member of American Legion Post 6 in Vernal, Utah (whose meetings, because of disability, I’m unable to attend), I am particularly dismayed to learn that his false documentation has been prominently displayed on the wall of his American Legion post.
Don’t believe he was ever a SP4. (regardless of the notation on the 2-1) Not enough time in service to have zoomed up the ranks from E-1 to E-4. Also, if he had been a SP4/SPC when he rotated back to the states after that harrowing 11 month tour in the 257th Personnel Services Company, there would have been an entry on the 2-1 for a EER (Enlisted Evaluation Report) covering that period.
Back in the day at least as far as USAF concerned folks with 4 years JROTC in High School or that enlisted for a six year initial hitch graduated boot Camp as E-3. Could that account for the SP-4 before him being shipped back to Ft Jackson to be shown the door?
USAF Retired,
USAF (80s) also gave 1 stripe (E-2) for enlistees with 15 college credits,
and 2 stripes (A1C E-3) for 45.
Stripes only authorized to be put on the last week before graduation at BT.
IDK if Army had similar.
That entry of (SP4) on his 2-1 was put there as an erroneous entry by a unknowledgeable personnel clerk or by the turd himself.
I stand by my conjecture that he was never a SP4/SPC/e-4 to begin with.
I find it interesting that the only pictures of Joseph Paul “Joey” Galindo we see are the “boot” picture, just like the one I had taken shortly after we got our heads shaved and BDU’s issued, we wore fake Class A’s that were held together in the back with Velcro!
Ballad of the Green Bidet
Dedicated to Joey “Bag’a Doughnuts” Galindo, fake Green Beret.
Faking assholes, like this guy,
The fat slobs, who always lie.
Men who failed in every way,
Try to steal,
The Green Beret.
Unearned bling on pudgy chests,
Doo-rag and dog, check out the vest!
One hundred times, they’ll boast today,
“Believe me man,
I’m a Green Beret!”
Blowing winos, at bus stops.
Sporting Medals, like stage props,
He never earned it, but he’ll say,
“Look at me,
A Green Beret.
The Internet, has found him out.
Gone his name, and his clout.
His own shit, upon his tray,
Served to him,
A Green Bidet.
Comfort dog, at his side.
Shiny HD, for his ride.
He will pose, another day,
Because he earned,
The Green Bidet

Outstanding!
There’s a hush in the crowd as he enters the All You Can Eat Buffet.
I had 20 years in Recruiting and Retention and reviewed many a 201 file. I’m curious to see his actual DD 214 and his Separation Program Designator (SPD) code. I think it was the type of “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out and don’t come back” level.
As for his DA 2-1, Current and Previous Assignments, grade (SP4), is not an authorized entry for Principle duty and is suspect.
Well, he did receive a general discharge. If you look closely at the 2-1, the word GENERAL before DISCHARGE is not completely blackened out and is readable.
My bet is he got a RE-4 coded DD214./smile
The SPD code narrows it down more, for instance:
BLM: Homosexuality
BMN: Unsuitability (reason unknown)
GLK: Unsanitary Habits
GMJ: Motivational Problems
GMK: Character or Behavior Disorder
JJC: Court Martial, Desertion
JMC: Enuresis (Bedwetting)
Putting my money on SPD code JMC.
He was in that ultrasecret group:
Specious Farces
Why do they always mix and match parachutist badges? It is a small thing I know but it shows lack of care about their fuckery. If they are going to go to the trouble to pretend to be a long tabber the least they could do is get correct matching T-Shirts. Maybe it’s a special order to get in the size but still….
He also was a little lax in his care for schooling! His claim of the rank of SSG or MSG, do match with his “long” career as denoted by his Good Conduct Medals. However, he seems to have not passed BNCOC, or ANCOC (nothing on his NCOPD ribbon).
I am also wondering why the different sized campaign stars on his Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. Wonder which one he got the Arrow Head for? Urgent Fury or Just Cause? He also seems to have not gotten any more AAM or ARCOMs his entire career! Strange!
With apologies to Green Thumb…
Turd.
Oof. This guy really likes to photograph his chins. Needs to up his selfie game and go with the shot from above angle.
Oh oh. “Major” incoming…
EMail already sent to admins, with screenshots.
Some idiot brought a shadowbox to his 1980 HS class reunion,
and a classmate put a post (with photo!)
on a Stolen Valor group on the Book of the Fake.
(paste (redacted))
This guy Walter P. K—— from Dearborn heights Michigan
came to our Fordson High School class of 1980 reunion.
He put his awards box on the table where people sign in.
Claims to be a Major General, graduated from West Point,
Silver Star, 7 Purple Hearts, Served in Delta.
I did some digging and found all of the above to be a lie.
Does anyone if he ever served? Any comments on his awards?
(end paste)
Yes, the photo of the shadow box is a doozy…
with gooned up ribbons, medals, and way too many devices…
EXCEPT for his NDSM, which has none.
(Not so funny) Comic gold, worthy of a national exposure.
Stay tuned. 🙂
(For those who wish to dig the interwebby…
the last name matches a new Supreme Court Justice.)
Comic IRONY – I already saw on WhitePages…
that he lives on Westpoint Street.
LOL
MarineDad61 I saw that post also in the ‘Stolen Valor Exposed” FB group. I laughed at the Shadow box, and the fact it was setup at the Reunion Sign in table like a HEY LOOK AT ME!!
Sandman,
Really.
Too bad it’s a FakeBook Private Group,
or I’d put the linky here. Like this.
(Note – I emailed this photo to MP admins.)

Sandman,
So everyone knows…
“MG K” told war stories all night long at his HS reunion,
and it was a CIVILIAN who scratched his head,
did some interwebby searching,
and then posted the shadow box photo and story in the SV Exposed Group.
Interesting development…..
Fordson High School is in the area of Dearborn, MI
that is the largest ARAB community outside the Middle East.
[…. where approximately, as of 2006,
95% of the 2,700 student body is of Arab ancestry.]
Is this perhaps a reason why “Major General WPK”
brought a faked up shadow box to his 40th HS class reunion???
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordson_High_School
He was Army not Navy it’s Delta Forks- not meal team
Jesus, did he eat the rest of his ODA?!
I am thinking this is his face book https://www.facebook.com/joey.galindo.756
Yep, and drawn back and locked down due to a few days of GGB fans
dropping truth bombs on his page.
VG fans were a few days too late to share the love.
Purple Heart, with no combat ribbons.
Must be from the first time he exploded at the “all you can eat” BBQ Beef Bar.
Shell fragments.
Egg shells, that is.
CITATION TO ACCOMPANY THE AWARD OF THE BRONZE STAR WITH V DEVICE
FOR VALOR IN CONNECTION WITH GROUND OPERATIONS IN OPERATION ‘NO ONE KNOWS.’
PRIVATE GALINDO DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF ON 14 NOVEMBER 1979 WHILE SERVING AS A FOOD SERVICE TABLE WIPER ON MESS DUTY DURING SIMULATED COMBAT OPERATIONS IN GERMANY. TAKING POINT WHILE HIS COMRADE WENT TO THE LATRINE, GALINDO’S SECTOR RECEIVED SMALL ARMS FIRE IN THE FORM OF DAY OLD BAGELS AND FRUIT LOOPS FROM UNIDENTIFIED DISGRUNTLED, HOSTILE DINERS. ARMED ONLY WITH A SQUEEGEE AND WET RAG, PRIVATE GALINDO IMMEDIATELY TOOK CHARGE, KNOCKING OVER SEVERAL TABLES TO SHIELD HIMSELF FROM INCOMING FIRE WHILE MOTIONING FOR INNOCENT SOLDIERS TO TAKE THE CHOWHALL EXITS. WHEN GALINDO’S COMRADE RETURNED FROM THE LATRINE, PRIVATE GALINDO SUCESSFULLY ENGAGED THE ENEMY, SPRAYING THEM WITH LEMON-LIME “BUG” JUICE CAUSING TEMPORARY BLINDNESS, THEREBY ALLOWING HIS COMRADE AND INNOCENT BYSTANDERS TO BE EXTRACTED FROM THE KILL BOX. IN SPITE OF TAKING EGG SHELL FRAGMENTS TO HIS EYES, PRIVATE GALINDO REFUSED TO DISENGAGE UNTIL HE KNEW ALL OF HIS SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS WERE SAFELY OUTSIDE THE DINING FACILITY. AS A FINAL ACT OF DEFIANCE – DRAWING UPON SKILLS ACQUIRED IN THE BRIG, PRIVATE GALINDO THREW A PAN OF HOT SYRUP ONTO THE ENEMY AS SEVERAL OF THEM WRITHED AND CONTORTED TO COME TO GRIP WITH THEIR BLINDNESS. PRIVATE GALINDO EFFECTIVELY TRANSITIONED TO HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT ARMED ONLY WITH A PLASTIC SPORK. A COOK RECOUTS OVERHEARING GALINDO SHOUT “YOU WANT ME ON THAT WALL. YOU NEED ME ON THAT WALL” AS HE ENGAGED MULTIPLE ASSAILANTS. HIS ACTIONS WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN PREVENTING THE NEXT SHIFT HAVING TO DO A COMPLETE FIELD DAY IN ADDITION TO COMPLETION OF THE SUCCESSFUL AND SAFE EVACUATION OF UNARMED MILITARY PERSONNEL. PRIVATE GALINDO’S PERSONAL BRAVERY AND DEVOTION TO DUTY WERE IN KEEPING WITH THE HIGHEST TRADITIONS OF THE MILITARY SERVICE AND REFELCT GREAT CREDIT UPON HIMSELF, MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE ‘NO ONE KNOWS’, AND THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
