Jaycee Collier sentenced for defrauding Army
Chief Tango sends us a link to an Army Times article about Jaycee Collier who defrauded the Army’s recruiting bonus program out of $125,000 while he was a civilian working at the Military Entrance Processing Station in Denver.
Prosecutors say Collier, a civilian who worked for the Department of Defense in Denver, processed enlistment packets and was ineligible for recruitment bonuses. He was accused of having current reserve soldiers fraudulently fill out forms indicating they had referred the recruits.
Prosecutors say reserve officers received the wired bonuses and paid Collier a $500 kickback. Collier allegedly received $28,000 in kickbacks between March 2009 and July 2012.
Yeah, he got a whopping six months of home detention, five months of probation and must perform 30 hours of community service. I’ll bet that slap on the wrist still stings.

My recruiter had me fill out a paper saying I referred the next guy he recruited, but there was no kick-back involved. If this guy was getting kick-backs, then he should have gotten far worse than the wrist slap.
I recall a Dispersing Clerk in my old squadron who would cut a per diem check for himself every time a crew was sent on detachment ops. Saw all those cool (and not-so-cool) places and never left Sigonella! Made a pile of cash, too.
He was last seen wearing stainless steel jewelry under armed escort, walking to the unmarked sedan. Bu-bye!
When I was going through NACCS, I ran into a former DK1 who was also a compulsive gambler. Talk about a toxic combination! He was in the midst of an 18 year sentence.
What is it with Disbo’s and DK’s swiping the gooberment’s money and thinking they’ll get away with it? Just like the mob, you steal from the gooberment they are get you. Th government world hard to steal your money and they won’t tolerate a thief stealing from them.
God I hate autocorrect.
When they get away with it, we don’t hear about it.
It might not be a harsh term, but a federal felony conviction will basically relegate him to being a fry cook for the rest of his working life. He certainly won’t be making that sweet GS-7 pay plus retirement or whatever that he was used to.
That reality probably depends upon which union he is willing to join.
He’s got that “I squeal at the thought of large men creating scar tissue in my keister” look about him.
He’ll do it somewhere else, perhaps even in another government position. They’re very forgiving you know. We haven’t heard the last of him for sure. TURD
Also the officers who gave him a $500 kickback, should be facing their own brand of justice.
So, ah, what about the reserve “officers” paying him the kickbacks?
Nothing to see here, citizen. Move along.
No kidding. I’m an officer out here in Colorado and I’m very interested in hearing about this.
I know these turds are dirty, and I know they fuck around.
When this program was instituted I remember thinking that it was wide open for gaming. I’ve heard of several people getting caught, but I’ll bet a whole lot of fraud has gone undetected.
There was plenty of it, he’s just the one stupid and brazen enough to get caught. I wonder if he snitched on any of his accomplices, thus the light sentence?
That program had more holes in it than the Southern Border. Oh, wait a minute, that’s secure isn’t it?
Now he will be on welfare or unemployment, and hosing us taxpayers out of even more money.
Or he could cry “racism” and say he was set up by Republicans, Fox News, George Bush, the police in Ferguson Missouri, or whatever.
Human debris.
He’ll probably get hired on by the VA.
