Theft by uniform
Chockblock sends us a link to the story of James Silbaugh who stole a pool from Walmart wearing an Army dress uniform. I wasn’t aware of the fact that loss control officers will just let you wheel stuff to your car without paying for it if you wear a uniform;
According to investigators, James Silbaugh, of Fairchance, walked into the store wearing a United States Army Class A uniform.
Authorities say Silbaugh grabbed a $500 backyard pool, put it in a shopping cart and marched out of the store without paying for it.
Once in the parking lot, state police say Silbaugh, who’s Myspace page has pictures of the 36-year-old in a U.S. Army battle dress uniform, unboxed the pool, threw it in his car and took off.
The news story says police don’t know if the Silbaugh is in the military or not, well, I know he’s not in AKO, so….

Maybe he is heading off to Recruiting Duty, and was told that he need a pool of potential recruits.
+! 🙂
Genius. Wearing a Class A’s is good blend-in attire. No way he’d draw any attention to himself. And, nowadays, few stores, especialy Wally World, have video cameras and wearing Class A’s and pushing a large box, well, he must have been tough to spot on the tape. Genius.
2/17 Air Cav Do they still wear the green Class A uniform? I thought that was out.
4th quarter FY14
And I suspect that will be extended because the manufacturers aren’t supplying the demand required to meet the deadline.
O-4E Thank you sir for the answer.
No problem Sparks
Just had a big to do involving the Division CSM because random Joe told him Supply wouldn’t/couldn’t get him ASUs and of course by the time this made its way down “The fucking Supply Sergeants aren’t doing their job”
So I had to sit him down and show him in the system that unless Joe needed sizes that would fit Willie Church or a midget it was going to be a while because they aren’t available. Oh and random Joe’s shit is on back order.
Damn! I am going to have my National Guard cousin dress up and go shopping for me! Double damn!! I have two ( 2 ) nephews in the Navy, one on each coast, should be able to get alot of stuff wearing cracker jacks!
Not sure if the photo of the green blouse shown in the video is the one he wore or just a file photo the reporter got from the Web, but it shows not only a CIB and what looks like a Silver Star but also an Army Staff Badge and a Joint Staff Badge indicating service in the Pentagon on the Army Staff and the Joint Staff. The broad black piping on the sleeve designates it as a general officers’ blouse. Makes me wonder what kind of headgear and footgear the ass clown was wearing.
BCousins…Reporter stated “a Class A uniform, similar to the one in this photo”. If he’s AD someone should be able to find him in AKO, right?
This looks like a double whammy….theft and Stolen Valor.
Hmmmm. I’ve had my eye on a nice HD TV!
Guess I’ll break out the ole dress blues.
Excuse me while I go pray that they still fit me!
I could wear my kilt, with full Highland regalia (which includes my cavalry beret and my military decorations).
Here’s the URL where you can view a collection of photographs of ME (!) in my Highland regalia – – – ;

Cool.
But be careful. Photos like that have a tendency to get Dallas and Bernath VERY excited.
I guess Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency under Turd Bolling was tasked with the security contract.
