Totally Legit
Mike sends us pictures from his Facebook group of real CPOs. Earlier this year, weddings seemed to be the place to find phonies. Now it looks like they’re infesting funerals. These two showed up together at a funeral in West Virginia;

There just aren’t enough Holidays and Parades for these ass clowns to attend, now they are going to Funerals. I dread the day I come face to face with one of these shit bags. I suppose I should start a go fund me account for Bail Money!
Combine it with a legal defense fund, and you’ll be good to go.
So sad. A caning would be too good for this lot of losers.
Why is it not legal to just strip these clowns of the uniforms they are disrespecting… to show up at a funeral dressed like that… WTF!! Assholes!!! They went together? What are they gay lovers and F’ing poser narcassist?
I’m sure they were given “honorary” ranks, right?
I’m sure there’s someone west of the Mississippi who can answer that question, NHSparky.
Ohhhh, they’re just honoring a deceased family member or friend.
Legit.
I might ask Archangel Group to hire these true warriors as trainers or Starka Inc. to hire them as salespeople for the BattleSling(r).

No way man.
These two are All-Points Logistics material.
I would be surprised if Commander Monkress is not already attempting to recruit them.
I recently saw some of the guys from All-Points Logistics. I thought I had kicked their asses years ago. I really need a to-do list.

You had better step it up, my man.
Felonious Phil is on the move. Well, not until he regains his driving status from his “5 year” DUI.
And he is bringing in more and more unscrupulous individuals to shore up his already nefarious and apathetic senior staff.
Mr. Thumb
No worries. I beat anorexia. Once a person has beaten that, what do they have to fear from these guys?

Holy Sweet Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ!
WTF?
Someone PLEASE find me the pedigree on these two … They deserve some love MCPO style!
Khakis at a funeral … NEVER!
I rather like the keelhauling on an aircraft carrier suggestion. Time to make someone “Internet famous”!

A couple of years ago, I attended the funeral of Command Master Chief Petty Officer James Dale “Jimmy Two Feathers” Fairbanks, United States Navy Seabees, who served as the Ombudsman here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi.
http://writesong.blogspot.com/2011/05/command-master-chief-james-d-jimmy.html
Because of the heat, I was very surprised to observe all of the Naval personnel attired in dress blue uniforms.
I attended wearing my full sized medals on a short sleeved khaki shirt with a necktie, black dress levis, unbloused black suede Western boots with spurs, “US” cavalry belt, and cavalry stetson.
I couldn’t imagine wearing a coat under that hot sun, yet even civilian personnel employed by the Armed Forces Retirement Home wore suits and ties.
It’s difficult to recall, but I think even the United States Air Force personnel possibly wore their Class “A” Uniform (if that’s what the Air Force calls their dress blues – – – I’m using United States Army terminology, for that’s what I’m familiar with).
Well golly gosh! You must’ve been quite a sight in that clown suit.
@ MAJMIKE:
Major?
Major of what?
When I comment or post, I use my real name and my real location.
Why don’t you go and do thou likewise?
What are you so deathly afraid of, MAJOR?
As a veteran, existing on a meagre monthly pension, unable to purchase a proper uniform, everything I was wearing was in compliance with AR-670-1: 30-6, “WEAR OF MEDALS ON CIVILIAN CLOTHES”.
Here is what I’ve posted on the subject:
http://writesong.blogspot.com/2011/10/proper-civilian-wear-of-military-medals.html
I’ve also worn that same attire (but with a white shirt, coat, and tie) with no confrontations, questions, or problems, when attending the United States Army’s birthday party at the Pentagon.
Anyone who’s served with the United States Cavalry is always very proud to wear their authorized paraphenalia.
I reckon maybe you’re just envious?
Or maybe you’re just a bit of an elite snob, you know, being an “ossifer” and all?
Actually, I had to do all of my research, with help from a couple of my Scottish clansmen, and a United States Marine Corps gunnery sergeant, as I wasn’t taught anything about AR-670-1: 30-6 when I attended III Corps NCO Academy or the Military Police Advanced NCO Course.
Shucks, I didn’t even know anything about the United States Army’s birthday until years after I was out of the Army.
Remember, in the years that I served, troop morale was in the toilet, and officers generally only aggravated the problems further.
“So (quoting John Wayne in “THE ALAMO”), step down off your high horse, Mister!
You don’t get lard unless you boil the hog.”
Someday, you may find yourself where I’m at, doing the very best you can with whatever limited resources might be available – – – IF you’re as lucky as I am.
Major of Field Artillery, Captain of Infantry, for what its worth.
Either wear all of the uniform or none of it. I still say get up qualifies as a clown suit, regardless of how many merit badges you have.
My opinion and I really don’t care what regs you quote or what your service history is.
Don’t like it? Don’t read my comment.
I’m reading it, and I’m standing by every word I write.
I’ve been thinking about this and I once believed either wear the uniform or don’t. However; since I retired from active duty 19 years ago, I’ve changed my thoughts. I now believe it a matter of personal choice. I find no harm nor foul if you wear an old medal, shirt, or something, unless you do something foolish, for example, wear a boonie hat with a service blouse. There are some retirees who should not wear the uniform, some because of fit, some because the uniforms are not in good repair. I don’t wear my uniforms because I’d rather have people think I’m too lazy to shave then explain the scars on my face. By the way, Mrs Dennis – not chevy is fine with my beard, but she told me the Grizzly Adams look had to go. I have also noticed my uniforms shrunk in the closet.
There are alternatives. The little ribbon device makes a distinctive lapel pin if only one is worn. For more formal occasions, miniature medals may be worn with white tie, black tie, or a nice suit, if properly worn. Honor ties, if you can find them, are nice, but, they can be expensive and may not match the clothes you are wearing.
My point is if a veteran cannot afford to wear a properly tailored uniform, then wearing the medals and devices is a personal decision. When you retire and you want to wear the uniform, good for you! If for some reason you don’t or can’t, I will not complain if you wear a part of it that tells the world something about yourself.
I put mine in a box where it will stay.
Forever.
@MajMike~
With all due respect SIR, you are out of line and a complete ass. How dare you make fun of a Viet Nam Vet? One who is by far a gentleman in his posts and shares his experiences in a very informative way.
You SIR are the reason Officers have a bad rep.
There was absolutely NO reason whatsoever for you to write such a rude and ignorant post.
You owe John Robert Mallernee an apology.
If you want to make fun of someone’s “clown suit” or insult someone for wearing your perceived idea of a “clown suit”, perhaps you should limit it to those that are outed as posers and embellishers instead of a fellow Vet.
You should be ashamed of yourself. You have brought dishonour and embarrassment on your good name and your service for insulting a brother in arms who was only sharing an experience he had wearing his well earned medals and awards.
As far as John or any other veteran wearing medals…
Army. Army Regulation 670-1, paragraph 30-6, says that former members of the Army (including active duty, reserves, or Army National Guard), may wear medals on “appropriate” civilian clothing on Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day, as well as at “formal occasions of ceremony and social functions of a military nature.” “Appropriate” civilian clothes includes clothes designed for veteran and patriotic organizations, such as VFW or American Legion uniforms. You can wear either the full-size or miniture-size medals. You should place the medals and decorations in approximately the same location and in the same manner as for the Army uniform, so they look similar to medals worn on the Army uniform.
I myself would never wear a short sleeve shirt with a neckie, black denims, cowboy boots and a Stetson,, period.
I would probably smirk at that outfit with or without medals, but John broached no regulations or laws by wearing his medals on it.
Maybe he’s a bit out of fashion, but hes just showing his pride in serving his country.
Personaly I don’t wear as much as a T shirt or cap with any logo on it, much less medals.
For the few formal occasions I attend I have a suit and tie.
“Infesting” is right. Fucking cockroaches. Given everything that’s going on in the world right now, my patience for these motherfuckers is nonexistent.
The balls on these phony fuckwads to show up at a random funeral. Jesus.
Should’ve had two other funerals that day.
You beat me to it, Climb to Glory. 🙂
Perhaps that’s going overboard. And it would have gotten the police involved, and resulted in a sh!tload of paperwork and legal bills.
However, removing their ribbons/insignia/uniforms, then sending the two jackasses on their way in their skivvies? Yeah, that sounds about right.
We call that “inducing a voluntary surrender in a freindly manner”!
NO ONE GOES TO FUNERALS IN KHAKI. Service Dress Blue is the uniform you wear to funerals, but that is rather expensive for the faker set. This is an embarrassment. Idiots.
How the ever-loving fuck do these people think they’ll get away with it? Just how? Even I can spot the flaws in those uniforms; these maroons go to military funerals and think none of the dozens and hundreds of vets there will call them on their BS? I just don’t get it.
What do you mean by “these maroons go to military funerals….
Do you mean Marines? Do you somehow mean the color “maroon”?
You should explain yourself.
The only thing that I can find that fits here is “moron”.
@ BIG JOHN, Et Alii:
Gosh, gee whillikers, where have YOU been?
“MAROON” is how Bugs Bunny pronounces, “MORON”!
I wonder if these 2 knuckleheads swap back and forth between one playing chief and the other admiral
Plus the season is under way here, I think our selectees look better than these 2 low lifes
Too bad these two khaki cockroaches were allowed to slink away back into the woodwork; they should have been politely led away and stomped into sand jelly in a back alley somewhere away from the actual funeral…
I love the CMC badge – as a Seniorchief… I know there have been some Seniorchiefs to do that job ( my dad being one) but it doesnt happen that often.
The CMC badge can (and is) worn by SCPOs. It’s a mark of being the senior enlisted member of that command, regardless of actual rank.
Submarines can have someone as low as E-7 eligible for COB (Chief of the Boat), provided the E-7 is eligible for E-8 and holds the COB NEC.
While not common, Senior Chiefs have been assigned as Chief of the Boat. Just FYI.
This is one of the main reasons I have decided to be cremated and my ashes buried at sea. The US Navy will still provide this service to any honorably discharged veteran, regardless of their branch of service. No way any posers show up for that.
Here’s the FAQ link for anyone who might be interested.
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/questions/burial.html
AW1 Tim…Thank you for this information. I did not know this was available to non Navy veterans. Really gives me pause for thought.
Yes, thanks a million for that information !!!
I’ll pas it on to my readers over on Biker or Not.com.
Well, those biker trash people that can read…
We have a lot of Marines over there, we have to put up pictures for them…
But, they can spot a puke like these morons a mile away, and are NOT particularly fond of letting them slip back into the woodwork…
Think pissed off bikers with a grudge against anyone trying to pose at a biker funeral, not a pleasant experience for the offending puke !!!
It would have been nice to see a picture of these two with their head’s shoved up each other ass’s
I got nothin’……However, thanks for the chuckles. It provides some comic relief out here because these clowns just don’t learn.
🙂
Geez, could they at least IRON those khakis, for pete’s sake? And get the freakin’ gig lines straight?
And when the hell have any of you EVER seen a flag officer wearing a garrison cap at ANY function, unless he’s on flight skins?
I think they’d make GREAT APL employees. They stick out like sore thumbs. Probably could use the cash, too.
When I was in the Navy, we called those, “piss covers.”
In the Army we called them “cunt caps” before we got “Shinsekied”.
You don’t have to go to the above events to find phonies. Strike up a conversation with some of the patients at a VA outpatient clinic (CBOC).
I had one guy try to tell me that he was one of two Navy Sailors that had a USMC MOS, back in the early ’80s, and that he had shot someone in the head at 2 miles, through the jungles, in Columbia/Panama. I called him out in front of the other waiting patients. He responded by saying, “I don’t want to talk to you about the war anymore!”
Yup, I saw that sniper movie too. 😀
At my more recent visit, I had a guy try telling me that he deployed to Vietnam as an 11B, that he left the service as a SFC, that he had multiple MOSs, and that one of them was earned via correspondence course.
I asked him when he joined. He said “’73 to ’79.” I reiterated by asking if he served from 1973 to 1979. He said “Yes.” I told him that the US pulled combat units out in ’73. He tried to change his story to say that he came in back in ’72, but later stated that he graduated in ’73 and joined afterwards.
I asked him if he was a “grenadier”. He replied that he was an “ammo bearer.” I asked him what squad he was in. He said, “Bravo, you didn’t want to be in ‘Charlie’ squad, man, whoo-hooo no you didn’t!”
I called him out again, and explained how we actually did things in the infantry. The guy did say that he was in USMC ROTC, so he probably thought that we all operated that way.
Keelhauling by Aircraft carrier,one added condition at air ops speed. Navy what is the correct term for that speed? Joe
That would be a flank bell.
Then again, lest people think I’m cruel and unfeeling, I could have suggested they be keelhauled on a submarine…at test depth.
Now that would be unusual.
Whoops…misread the question. The FASTEST bell is flank. Air ops? Hell, I’m no target puke.
Just use ‘All ahead full’. It covers a lot of things.
Personally, I think being towed behind the Enterprise at Warp 2 is appropriate. And no spacesuit.
Is it me or does the senior chief kind of look like Walter White in a military costume?
Maybe someone should check his RV for phenylacetone.
Sparkly Flank speed will work for me. Test dept is also very good. Flip a coin? Joe
If somebody was released from active duty prior to 1980, they might not know about the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.
I was released in 1976 and did not realize I was eligible for one (and only one) until over 20 years later.
Also, my WWII Pacific War Navy veteran Dad, age almost 89, received a Combat Action Ribbon, among various medals, this spring.
My Dad was released in 1946, but the CAB did not come out until 1969.
Ribbon and medal ignorance might be fraud. But it just might be plain ignorance.
Been there, done that.
Since leaving the Army, I’ve discovered several awards that, at the time, I didn’t know I was entitled to.
I accidentally discovered two additional unit awards, i.e., the Meritorious Unit Commendation, and the Republic of Viet Nam Civic Action Honor Medal, with Palm, Unit Award, only when reading my unit’s history.
The Korean Defense Service Medal and the Air Assault Qualification Badge didn’t exist when I was in the Army.
I found out about my entitlement to wear the Infantry Branch Cord when reading my old NCO manual.
When they gave me the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, I was confused and thought they’d made a mistake.
But, as time passed, and I further examined the criteria, I found it was authorized.
Naturally, I got my Certificate of Cold War Service, and while serving in the State Militia (i.e., the Utah STATE Guard), I earned my diploma in Basic Emergency Management from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and my diploma in Military Police Advanced NCO Course from The Army Institute For Professional Development.
This is not all that unusual.
I’ve found that there’s a LOT of veterans who have awards and decorations they know nothing about.
My own father died not knowing of the comparatively recent medal awarded to Korean War veterans by that Country’s President.
So, I bought it and put it in the display case with his other awards.
Need some more Navy help. What kind of wings is the phoney chief wearing? If they are flight wings? Where are his Air Medals? Joe
It’s a fairly low res picture but I’d put a few bucks on those being an ESWS (Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist) pin.
Not terribly difficult to get compared to say, dolphins, but not exactly easy either.
Looks like an Enlisted Surface Warfeare Specialist pin to me.
How do these clowns decide on what rank they want to steal?
“Oh, a six star Admiral of the Navy might not believable but a three star is totally my speed.”
Here’s a bit of trivia you might not know about – – – ;
The United States of America currently has one (01) SIX STAR FLAG OFFICER ! ! !
For our Nation’s Bicentennial on 04 July 1976, the Congress of the United States of America unanimously passed a resolution posthumously awarding the unprecedented rank of “General of The Armies of The United States of America” to George Washington, now our first and only six star general.
Washington was awarded the title of “General of the Armies of the United States” in 1976, but there was never any documentation, either in Congress or the Army of a “Six-Star” rank in his case. It was a billet, not a pay grade.
In 1955 Congress did propose the same title AND a six star RANK for Douglas MacArthur, to be presented to him on his 75th Birthday, however it was shelved.
To add to JaOD’s comment above: the intent of Congress’ resolution and the Army’s action in 1976 was to make Washington the senior military officer in US history. Doing that would only require 5-star rank with DOR backdated to the Revolutionary War. This would make Washington senior (by DOR) to all other GOs in US history.
FWIW: Pershing was also appointed to this same rank (General of the Armies of the United States). Pershing elected to wear 4 starts vice 5 after his appointment – but gold stars vice silver ones. It never became an authorized Army rank insignia. The same is true of the proposed “6 star” rank and insignia bandied about for MacArthur in 1945, and later postwar; neither was ever formally approved by Congress or the Army.
Washington’s 1976 appointment explicitly gives him seniority over Pershing, however. He’s thus the most senior military officer in US history.
Answer:
1. Saw it in a movie.
2. Played it in a video game.
3. Read it in a book (or for those who don’t read saw it in a photo in a book that had big words).
4. The rank that daddy had, yet sonny could not aspire to.
5. Needed a decent sounding rank for a forged DD-214 to be submitted to VA for fraudulant claim.
6. Chicks dig high ranking military dudes.
7. Military dress up night at the local ghey club requires appropriate rank and corresponding insignia.
8. New wife and or girlfriend loves the military.
9. Some small towns just don’t have enough senior military personnel living there.
10. When you lie about being in the military … Go Big!
More “SHITHEADS ON PARADE” as I see it. Those monkeys are out of their trees!
Doesn’t know what a Sea Service Deployment ribbon is? Now THAT is funny.

Most posers pick a low density area to be stupid in. They also count on people having common decency and not wanting to make a scene at public events, especially a funeral.
A lot of vets are also hesintant to call people out because of the change in regulations and the difference in service uniforms throughout the branches.
A wee bit off topic …
So I was curious and I clicked on the banner above “SingleMuslim.com”.
After reviewing profiles for over 3 hours … I am leaving my wife and moving to a counrty I can not properly pronounce.

Brother, if you want hot women who know how to handle a firearm, move to Israel. When I was over there for a training mission, I didn’t see a single unattractive female… and oh, my, GOD… don’t go to the beaches if you have any form of heart trouble.
What he said – – – ,
Amen, and aaaaaaaaAAA-MEN!!!
Preach it!
Here’s MY memories of my visit to Israel:

Become a Mormon and move to the high desert wilderness of rural Utah.
It’s just like Israel, loaded with hot babes who know how to handle a firearm!
It’s Summertime here in the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
I don’t want to get your hopes up, but if’n any of y’all find yourself attending MY funeral (which could be sooner than any of us thought it would be), be as comfortable as you can be and wear khakis if’n you want to.
It is HOT here, REAL hot!
I’ve had MRI scans of my brain, cervical spine, and lumbar spine, and they did the final CAT scan this morning.
I see the neurosurgeon Tuesday, and he’ll discuss his intention to cut my throat, in order to keep me from singing to the grand jury.
Frankly, I’m not doing all that well, but who knows?
Maybe the operation will fix everything, and I might even hang around for a few more years and piss you guys off some more!
I’ll keep you in my prayers.
@ FLAG WAVER, Et Alii:
Thank you.
Being a sinful mortal, I will always need all the prayers I can get!
John,
Write a note and tape it to the inside of our your door, it should read as follows:
“By the time you find this note, I am dead, yet probably not buried. Please contact “TAH” and notify that horrible assortment of miscreant Veterans that I have passed. The uniform of the day for my funeral will be whatever they want to wear because it is as hot as dog balls down here”.
So … Do that!
But based on your prolific and exactly writing here John, I don’t suspect you are going anywhere soon.
But if you do, the attending military personnel and those in retirement will probably wear the appropriate military service dress and or Class A uniform.
That is all!
Not going anywhere …
I wonder if they know each other are fakes?
Or are they bullshitting each other?
This is just bizarre as hell.
I am surprised Bernath was not with them taking pictures.
I know the answer to this:
These two truly believe they are.
Kinda link Robert Downey Jr in “Tropic Thunder”.
He was a white guy, playing a black guy, who believed he was really a black guy.
So the read neck, trailor living, high school drop out and phony Chief believes he knows what the the “USN” stands for the Chief’s insignia.
And the jacked up, fly boy, no gigline compliant 2 star is so convinced of his naval heritage … Wearing a piss cutter to a funeral is AOK with him … In fact being the senior ranking officer of the two, he no doubt specified the uniform of the day.
They both trade stories about their adventures on the seven seas … And those stories really happened …
NO SHIT … They were there!
Does anyone have a location where these guys showed up?
So I asked myself why these guys would show up at a funeral. Thew answer is simple to get attention. These guys wanted the attention that was rightfully the families and the deceased.
The idea of keel hauling them has no appeal to me. I dont want that scum disgracing the deck of any ship where brave men and women have to work.
Tar, Feathers and a good old fashion riding on a rail is my answer.
What?
Do my eyes deceive me?
Is this actually a Navy impostor that is not, I repeat, is NOT a wanna be SEAL?
Gentlemen, buy these guys a drink lol.
