Clayton Pressley III, steals troops’ IDs
According to WAVY.com, Senior Chief Clayton Pressley III stole the identity of two of his subordinates and used their information to get some pretty hefty loans;
Senior Chief Pressley enlisted in 1997 and worked his way up to a specialized bomb disposal unit. He served in the war on terrorism and earned a Bronze Star, according to a biography provided by the Navy.
But on April 14, Pressley was arrested on bank fraud and identity theft charges. He’s since been released on bond, but required to wear a GPS monitor.
According to an affidavit, in August 2015 a sailor identified by the initials, JB, found out that his name, address and social security number had been used to apply for a loan. JB followed the chain of command to notify his supervisor, Pressley.
But then in October, a bank’s fraud department contacted JB to notify him that the name “Clayton Pressley” was listed on an account under JB’s name.
I can see how it could happen, but it’s a huge violation of trust between leadership and troops. I hope they slow-roast his ass. Thanks to BNG for the link.

What a scumbag. I thought FB was the place where you left yourself wide open for ID theft. This is worse, because Pressley was in a position of trust.
Keelhaul the bastard.
From an aircraft carrier.
Amen, no more senior chief, no more retirement, and many years with bubba and the boys in the joint!
Another shitbag stealing from the very people he’s supposed to watching out for, fuck you Pressley may you rot in that cell you thieving bastard.
Looks like the alleged thief was in the midst of a divorce last June and needed some bucks. If he thought he had troubles before, he ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
I would imagine that the divorce will now be uncontested and whatever stuff he had accumulated will now be gone for all eternity…
What a friggin’ dumba$$
‘“As the supervisor of both JB and NH, Pressley would have had access to their personal identifiable information, including; full name, full social security number, addresses, telephone numbers and pay information based on time in service and rank,” according to the affidavit.’
So much for looking after the troops placed in your care, eh Senior Chief? Uh huh.
The word is out about you and what you did, and I hope that you run into some of the senior enlisted Marines and SEALs that are stationed at Little Creek while you’re slinking around over there awaiting trial. You’ll definitely enjoy the encounter.
By the way, if you’re still an active duty Senior Chief in the U.S. Navy, what’s up with that ratty-ass beard? Along with all of the other crap that you’ve pulled, did you also write yourself a “laminated no shave chit”?
And you’d better keep practicing that tough guy thug-wannabe face that you’re making in your booking photo posted above.
You’re gonna need it where you’re headed.
That’s not just regular growth either. That is well groomed and trimmed facial hair. Looks like he’s had that going for a while.
It looks like he enjoys playing “Ride ’em Profile”.
Asshole has a lot of cockmeat sammiches and tubesteak entrees in his future. Hope he’s looking forward to hourly anal dilation therapy session with the boys.
Congrats E-8 Pressley… you’re looking at some hard jail time for fucking over the people you were supposed to protect.
Don’t forget the extra manmayo sauce.
Yes, an E-8, NOT a SCPO. Potentially sending to financial ruin those who turn to you for guidance? Scumbaggery. What’s going to happen to you in the slammer? Priceless. Rot, you turd.
Fucking Disgrace! Probably wasn’t the first time.
When crap like this finally comes to light, it is never the first time.
It’s just the first time that he’s been caught.
A perfectly good and honorable, even admirable, service (Bronze Star, EOD), shat upon. Why? What were you thinking? Or were you?
This POS should burn in hell as a Chief Petty officer we have the trust of the junioer troops so we can help lead them now this ass holes actions he has added one more thing for troops to not trust senior leaders and that is our job to ensure the troops have trust in our leadership.
From what I know and understand he earned a admin Meritorious Bronze star while serving a 1 year Army tour of duty 2007-08 in some office job on VBC Base Baghdad and he is a Sk not an EOD TECH. He left his fleet command for a TAD Inidvidual Auggemmentee Assignment and then went back to the fleet command and recived oders to EODGRU 2 Joint Base Little Creek AS A support TECH. He was DTS (defense travel system)guy and this is how he had access to troops information and for now it was two troops that had checked in around 2015. So he probably had them fill out the credit card info and when he inputted it in the system copied it POS. He is a support TECH and not EOD type TECH and does not deserve to even be near the tittle EOD or for that matter any NECC Support sailor tittle.
By the way as of 2009 the Navy does not allow Admin Bronze stars from the Army the award has to go through NAVCENT Bahrain the same time it goes up the Army chain. The only way a Sailor will receive a Bronze STAR now is if in contact or chance of contact outside the wire. They have cracked down on the Meritorious shit. The most they will receive from a Army Joint Command would be a DMSM Defense Meritorious Service Medal
I just found out from a Chief friend at GRU 2 that he is an EOD TECH and he was in a DTS position so this is how he was able to obtain the info. He is at EODMOB UNIT 6 and has been placed over at NECC HQ command awaiting trial in civilian court.
My bad herd from someone else then another friend in the know I will shut the fuck up now. He is still not a CPO he is fucking E-7 POS..
I was really hoping he wasn’t a Tech. It sucks even worse when some asshole does this shit in such a tight knit unit like EOD. From day one of training it is impressed upon you just how reliant you are on one another. It takes an extra special kind of scumbag to fuck over another Tech.
When he gets out of prison, I hope his asshole looks like a freight train makes frequent trips out of it.
Ya, I’m with you and was hoping he wasn’t a Tech or a Bee, but I new wasn’t Bee. He was a TECH for a while and a Chief He needs to burn in hell.
Brings a bad name for EOD,CPO Mess and NECC. Fuck him…
Yup, he’s a Navy Spec 8. 🙄
If he enlisted in ’97, that would have put him as of now only one year from retirement with bennies. Now a boot in the rectum and conviction of a felony will see all that washed down the river. That said, this is worth keeping an eye on to see that manipulative attorneys and a rigged system will go out of their way to avoid the FELONY conviction…so he will still be entitled to certain other bennies not related to retirement…but bennies just the same. Call me callous, but it does happen. Don’t forget…Bank Fraud and Identity Thieves’ Lives Matter. This will definitely be another case of the CARD being considered and used. Two to one would be my guess for it to play a big role in going easy on such a fine outstanding person. Yep, he apparently excelled in his MOS and fulfilling his duties…but it’s the CARD which will muffle justice. Somebody follow up with this and I’ll gladly eat my words publicly if I am wrong. You see, it is nearly a given when it comes to the “entitlement due crowd”.
Not sure how far the card will go on this one, Jarhead. He’s not OJ or an “activist” or some such. Either way, the card certainly won’t help when he’s assigned to the very low circle of hell located near the child molesters…
Holy shit. Nice that the scumbag is sitting right around 19 years active. Hopefully they’ll bounce him before retirement. G’damn Senior Chief at that. Fucking disgraceful.
Maggot.
Shitbag.
Roachturd.
(and the one word expletive/description game starts)
clodpole
crapweasel
maggot in Satan’s hairy ass
How’s that?
VERY nice EX….having obviously spent time around some “Gyrenes”, you are excelling at our vocabulary. People wonder why we are the way we are. It’s because of the week spent in boot camp attending USMC Charm School. You never forget how to smile in a person’s face while you are holding a machete to their throat. Your last comment shows such wonderful progress. D. Hardin and myself especially are to be proud of you. S/F
I am honored, Jarhead.
Need a ruling, folks. Are “em-effer” and “low-life” considered hyphenated compound words or two words?
‘Course, “a**hole” and “bastard” still work, too. In fact, IMO the collection of all 4 of those terms – taken in whatever sequence you like – works pretty well for this jackass.
You’re good either way, as long as you capitalize ’em.
Agreed. Feel free to also add other descriptive words after. For example, “Mother Fucking Cocksucker”, “Low Life Bastard”, “Low Life Lying Asshole” etc. etc. Clayton will soon hear these kind words while spending quality time in the Ghetto Penthouse.
I like the hyphen for em-effer, but have to disagree with its use for low life as “low-life” appears to indicate a poor style of living as in, “Don’t go livin’ that low-life, my friend.” Whereas “low life” strikes me more as applying to a person. I dunno tho, on reflection, I might have that backasswards.
Or use the acronym MFr. I like that one, and use it frequently.
BCD.
Yep, a possible #6 seed in the East Regional of the upcoming Blue Falcon Tournament.
And Elvis has left the building.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Captain John Philips of the Revenge said, “If any Man shall steal any Thing in the Company, or game, to the Value of a Piece of Eight, he shall be marooned or shot.”
Seems fitting.
He’ll spend the 20th anniversary of his enlistment in someone’s prison, thinking about the check that he would have been collecting if he hadn’t been so stupid.
During my last tour in Germany, we had a couple of BN PAC clerks pull something similar. They both were short, so when we rolled out for a 30 day Graf rotation, they stayed back as they would be gone by the time we returned.
They had set up accounts in Lithuania and had mailed letters to a bunch of our Soldier’s banks requesting that the funds from our accounts be transferred to the Lithuanian account. They pulled this on about 300 Soldiers.
What got them busted was the fact that I was to DEROS back real soon also and our bank account was in the same bank as my mother-in-law’s business account. When she would go make deposits she always talked about her “kids” in Germany, and how we were coming back to the States soon. During one of those conversations they asked her why we were transferring our money to Lithuania, weren’t we coming home soon? She called my wife who figured out real quick what was up and contacted the MPs. The guys were in custody before we even got back from the field.
Shitty thing is that some banks had already transferred money and it took the FBI threatening some of them to make things right.
I remember seeing something like that years ago (1985-86) – Disbursing Office on Diego Garcia was screwing people deployed there out of money, then decided to go on “vacation”. Picked up by civilian LEO’s a few weeks later living it up. Got to enjoy some time at that little “house” on the prairie in Kansas
NBC…You suddenly put a lot of thoughts in focus. Never considered it until now, but any criminal minded “shorties” really are in a position to do the same just prior to release from AD. That might well have been the case with this turd. These days we see so many folks affiliated with churches, schools and any organization run off with cash. Pretty much would have prevented the problem had they been required to be bonded. Since you pointed this out, the only logical thing to do with anyone in a position of trust and ethics in any branch of service would be to require them to be bonded, maybe at least the last seven or so years of AD. Thanks for sharing.
I saw this a couple times in the 80s. At A school at Dam Neck we had a student who copied the info off ID cards of guys in the shower. He went to PSD with a forged request chit for a new ID with the stolen information twice and got IDs with the stolen info and his picture. He then opened NFCU accounts in both names and started allotments from those guys checks into these accounts that were then sent on to pay his child support. They said he would probably have gotten away with it, since most A School students are not opening checking accounts or starting allotments, but one of the victims did try to open a Navy Federal account and the banker called the police because the account with his information already existed.
A couple disbursing clerks on USS Independence were busted skimming the loose change off checks. For example instead of getting paid 450.65 you were getting 450.00. Not a big number but when you are doing that a couple thousand times, twice each month, it adds up. I think I remember someone saying they got caught by obviously living above their means in Japan on E3 pay.
I wonder who took him down, McGee, Bishop, or Very Special Agent Tony DiNozo?
But we’ll probably have to wait a couple of years for Ducky’s autopsy report, which will probably read as:
COD: Blunt Force Trauma from a large pipe like object. NOTE: Traces of DNA belonging to GySgt Hartman where found in deceased individual’s empty eye sockets.
“Individual was found decapitated and with what appears to be fecal matter in his esophagus.”
Fucking. Piece. Of. SHIT.
Let’s hope a GCM and a BCD are in his near future.
If you really want to fuck him, appoint Daniel Bernath as his counsel.
He and Bernath deserve each other.
What many of you may not realize is that this asshole has probably screwed these sailors’ financial lives up for years unless a court orders all this criminal activity expunged from their financial records, if that’s even possible.
More than 20 years ago a female con artist in Texas used a phony SS# that was one digit different from my wife’s and it somehow got transposed so that her nefarious financial dealings got entered into my wife’s credit reports. It took years of letters and phone calls to get that out of our credit records and we still get calls from collection agencies, police and private detectives looking for that bitch.
Got two calls in the past week, more than twenty years later!
From our experience that I mentioned earlier in Germany, the banks appeared to square things away fairly quickly (crediting accounts, writing letters for folks, etc) but a lot of the credit unions that got hit seemed to have the “sucks to be you” attitude.
It was also very few banks that actually made the transfers as they questioned things a little more thorough than the credit unions too.
We used a bank and got lucky…
It’s people like this who have persuaded me that the best thing to do is to freeze your credit reports.
Mine is frozen. The government pays for it for three years because my PII was stolen from the government.
Lifelock. Even if you don’t get the super duper level shut, get something.
It’s amazing how often people will try thus bullshit.
I have always maintained that Identity Theft should be a capital offence. If I ever catch someone using my name I will commit suicide using his body.
Very well said.
Now that’s a new one for me! Love it!!!
19 years, made Senior Chief, had everything on a platter, and he screwed his whole life up by committing a felony – and all for a little bit of money.
I have NO sympathy for this stinking, poisonous pustule on hairy black ass of the Lord of All Seven Hells. None at all. He is worthless. Whatever money he gets as a prison allowance should go to his victims.
