Jose Alvarez; phony Green Beret
Our partners at Guardians of the Green Beret share their work on this fellow, Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky. He claims to be a special forces warrior, but his uniform says differently;
When the GB who sent him to us did a short recon on his FB profile, he saw a picture of him with a Combat Infantry Badge with a star, an Ranger and SF tab, Purple Heart and some comical SF crest on his black beret.
Wrong unit insig on shoulders, MP brass with Infantry blue disks, No Airborne Tab with SF unit patch (That’s part of the patch).
We reached out to ask him to remove his bogus pictures and were immediately blocked from further contact. The pictures remained.
In fact, the pictures are still there in spite of the egregious errors;
CIB w/ Star False
Special Forces Tab False
Ranger Tab False
Purple Heart False
Good Conduct Medal False
National Defense Service Medal False
Kosovo Campaign Medal False
Afghanistan Campaign Medal False
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal False
Humanitarian Service False
Armed Forces Reserve Medal False
NCO Professional Development Ribbon False
Army Service Ribbon Earned Earned
Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia) Service must have been performed in support of Operation Desert Storm and the liberation of Kuwait, between 17 January 1991 to 28 February 1991 False
Senior Wings False
Air Assault False
He had less than three years of service in the Texas National Guard, discharged as an E-2 Private petroleum specialist with only the Army Service Ribbon;
Category: Phony soldiers, Valor Vultures
I see he was awarded the highly coveted ” Army Service Ribbon” known to some insiders as the “road guard ribbon”. Yep, he was in the shit.
Also known as the “Expert Floor Buffer Operator Ribbon”.
AKA the gay pride ribbon for obvious reasons. They don’t hand that one out to just anyone, lemme tell ya! 🙂
And I never wore mine for obvious reasons! Hell … I figured the reason I was allowed to stay in the Army and wear a uniform ….was because I had Army service.
Of course we all wanted to wear stacks of ribbons right out of basic training … but there’s nothing embarassing about having no ribbons as a “baby soldier.” Hell, even privates right out of basic are getting “participation” ribbons …
Sheesh.
Then, Army started giving out ribbons in the 1980s for completing NCO Professional Development Courses … That’s what I thought hard-stripes, rockers, diamonds, and stars were for. I’m surprised they’re not giving away ribbons for Officers completing OCS, OBC, OAC, CAS3, etc.
Sheesh.
Okay … I’m starting to sound like my father …. and I’ve grown quite fond of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, etc.
Sheesh … I’ve *BECOME* my father!!
My daughter’s friend was over at the house looking at my shadow box in the Man Cave.
She is a lesbian. Not the Rosie O’Donut, man hating type but loves guns and I take her to the range with my daughter.
Annnywwwaaayyy.
She sees the ASR and asks me what the ribbon was for.
I said it was my gay award and the Army has a special program and requires people to be sodomized in Basic. AKA, Getting The Big Green Weenie.
Since everyone knows I’m full of shit, I ended up telling her the truth… about qualifying expert on the Buffer making the tile shine rainbow bright.
Jose Alvarez, phony Green Beret, is an Army Service Ribbon Veteran! Yet, that wasn’t enough for him. The only “special forces” that I could see him a part of itthh thha sppettthal kind. 🙄
We called it “The Live & Breathe Ribbon” because we all got one at the tail end of USAF basic in 1973 … we had no idea what it was!
Disregard … my brain was thinking NSDM.
That, of course, would be the highly coveted “I was alive in ’65” ribbon and medal of which you speak.
That’s the one! Except in ’65 I was at Ft. Bragg …. in Jr. High.
According to his Facebook page, works at Texas Department of Public Safety. His ass is grass and we be the lawnmower. You just know they are going to be overjoyed to get the news about one of their stellar employees.
Oooh, he done put himself in a world of shit!
I contacted Sheriff Tracy Murphree, the Sheriff in Denton County, who used to be a Texas Ranger (DPS). He’ll look into it.
We’ll see what happens.
OOH, tasty, tasty Schadenfreude…
Cocksukker
Betcha a dollar he’s also wearing an SF tab and/or Ranger tab on his right sleeve.
For some reason the SF fakers always seem to do that.
And as for that uniform: Hallelujah! We have another MSG Soup Sandwich!
That’s giving him too much credit. MMSG Soup is a class by himself.
*was*
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=40011
2014? Damn, that makes me feel old.
I remember the original posting here, his death apparently not so much.
I cut the original Soup Sandwich a lot of slack b/c he was out of touch with reality. This guy is just a freaking valor thief and I hope he gets his due. He’s a toad.
The original Soup Sandwich had issues with drugs that he let take his life, the assclown featured in this thread needs a few shittons of ridicule.
It’s a souper day in his neighbor hood.
Don’t make Zombie Mr Rogers claw his way out of his grave and shoot you from a zip code away…
He was a Marine Scout Sniper don’t ya know…
(And yes I know he wasn’t but for the sake of that visual…a zombie Mr Rogers hunkered down behind a Barrett 50 cal…I’ll pretend otherwise.)
With John Denver as his spotter.
Ah, Dear ol’ Rcocky Mountain High. Who knew he would make the same but fatal fuel management mistake as our favorite disbarred Commie/Mexi-fornia lawer. Another pseudo-pilot who might still be alive had he stayed away from the flight controls of an aircraft.
One of the many reasons to prefer motorcycles to airplanes.
If my bike runs out of fuel, all I’m looking at is a long walk.
I’ve done both. Still ride moto’s; couldn’t afford to stay current on my pilot’s license. I will say that flying requires a great deal of attention to detail. Possibly why there is an opening in the DRG’s membership roll.
I learned over the years to never mock John Denver’s musical or aviation abilities to women my age…they revere that dude like they do Yani or that homo Kenny G.
Fuel Dude! Been drinking JP-8 directly from the fueler I see.
GOTGB said he’s also apparently posing as a State Trooper.
What a gnard gargling shitstained cumqueef.
it is important not to sniff the fumes…that way you do not become “Master Bates”
Atomic Dingleberry.
But he looks VERY special.
He’s probably got an inferiority complex that his parents named him Igor.
That face says it all, “Lubricating Oil Specialist”
You ever want to reach through your monitor and punch someone in the throat over TCP/IP?
Because this is how you make me want to punch someone in the throat over TCP/IP?
http://i.imgur.com/y8cTmmz.png
If we use UDP we can punch him over and over again…
With a smaller size payload….
But with UDP, you’ll never be sure you’re actually hitting him.
TPTP (“Throat Punch Transfer Protocol)?
CIB looks small. Like it is for the mess uniform.
Greens went out years ago.
No Green Beret wear shooting medals. They are assumed to be expert shots.
Greens have been gone for less than a year.
I thought the wear out on the greens was 2014?
I wonder if this turd like to pump fuel or be pumped with fuel?
Three-year, E-2 = Turd.
Looks like he’s DORKED a few SQUEAKHOLES in his lifetime (and other have done him in the SQUEAKHOLE in return).
Is this guy the 1SG at All Points?
They had to, um, ‘fill his position’ before he could fill his position.
Blue disks and no cord?
Legit.
Does it chap anyone else’s ass that this ahole had the uniform put together, tailored then had the grapes to get professional photos taken?
Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky enjoy the internet fame! Stay away from the kiddies!
I’m wondering what the cost of uniform, insignia and medals is total all said and done… on top of tailoring that is a lot to spend on a lie.
Apparently, some POSers figure if you are gonna lie, go big; even if it costs several benjamins. Although, he likely could have picked up a set of greens on eBay for around a hundred bucks.
In the other set of professional photos taken at the Walmart studio, he’s lounging seductively on a divan while sporting a pink feather boa, a sombrero and not much else ..
I’m assuming he also had one where he sat in a James Bond style pose with his Colt Woodsman .22?
Close…except Jose(y) is a Bond girl
Texas National Guard? Jose Alvarez, you done stepped on the honor of my Great State, vato.
Makes me wonder if he is a wetback. He is certainly an embarrassment to all Tejanos everywhere.
Well, remember that Heavy Chevy was briefly in the Texas National Guard.
Nope, ‘ol “Blobfish” Chevalier was briefly part of the Texas State Guard, not the NG.
He enlisted and was in briefly before getting bounced for some kind of fraudulent or erroneous enlistment. The Texas State Guard came later. Of course, he also got booted out of the TSG.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=56903
“SM not available for signature” which IMHO means they got rid of him as damned fast as they could!
11B-Mailclerk says:
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!”
Couldn’t let this gem slide down into obscurity. After all, it’s the “Ballad of the Green Beret Posers.”
Too bad we can’t have Barry Sadler sing it, as he is no longer with us. But maybe we can find a pretend singer who can belt it out.
EXCELLENT!
Love it!
Your guys are SO DUMB!
What he meant to say was, “Buttroleum Supply Specialist”.
That is all … carry out the POD!
I-gor here is apparently the character who received the aybee-normal brain transplant. Many of our SF posers know “triple tab” means three tabs. This ass-clown forgot the Airborne tab which is always part of the SF patch. No one who actually served in a SF unit has ever worn that patch (correctly) without the airborne tab.
As I love to do, I left some love for ol’ Jose Igor Alvarez Gretaldezky ” Jose Alvarez, we can be sure a person is a phony when we see their actual records, like at the link below. I know they are also a coward when they block me after giving them the link. You make phony claims to be some kind of famous. Asshole, we are helping you with your fame. Every time we mention your name in a comment at the link below, Gooogle grabs it so that anyone checking into you will see that you are a piece of shit, standing in the blood of better men than yourself, claiming the valor that they fought and died for. By the way, there are no MPs in the Special Forces, why are you wearing MP brass? Dead giveaway there poser. Fuel handler. Are you gonna be a pussy and block me now?” I dropped the link on a couple of his friends too.
COCKSUCKER CUBED!
MSG Soup Sandwich was in a class by himself…
This souper-trouper needs his own moniker…
How about MASTER SERGEANT TACO SOUP !!!
OK I laughed way harder at that than I should have.
Tortilla Soup!
Or Burrito Stew.
Well, if you’ve ever had a “Guisado” burrito, you’re basically eating a burrito filled with a thick, spicy beef or pork stew….
Damn, now I want some Mexican food!
MSG Manudo. Loaded with tripe.
It’s spelled Menudo…damn, I haven’t had a bowl of Menudo in forever.
And I’m trying to keep it that way
Well, to each his own. I love me some menudo.
Just funnin ya! I’ve on occasion partook at the mom and pop places around Houston…the “locals” sort of amazed at this gringo…it’s really damn tasty once I moved on from carefully considering the ingredients
Not if it is comprised of “Man-parts”!
Someone needs to photo chop a picture of MSgt Soup Sandwich looking down disapprovingly at Alvarez….

I read you five by five,
((((OVER))))
How does he not rate the NDSM or GWOT Service medal? Do those require command approval?
Doesn’t rate either medal because:
His time spent on Federal Active Duty was in a Only for Training Purposes Status (Basic and AIT). Then returned to Texas for duty in the NG.
Never activated from National Guard service to Federal service in support of GWOT before discharge, therefore not eligible for either the NDSM or GWOTSM.
Ummm… isn’t Gretaldezky Polish or something? And his other names are Hispanic?
What is he? A chia pet? Oh, sorry! I forgot that you all did nearly all the honors on this person already. You left out some of those more simple terms I’ve come to admire in Green Thumb, to wit:
Clown.
Lot of half Polish, half Mexican folks up Chicago way. Just saying it’s possible. Also, there were a fair amount of Germans and Czechs who settled in Texas in the 1800s; as I recall, parts of Poland were under Prussian rule back then too. That other last name could legitimately be a family name. His Green Beret claims, not so much.
Around the San Antonio area are a large number of descendants of Poles, Czechs, Germans, Wendish and other central- and East-European immigrants. As well as the expected Hispanic population.
I had a brother-in-law, since deceased, who grew up speaking German in the home until his older sister came home from her first day of school upset because she didn’t understand English. He retained a good eastern-Germany western-Poland accent all his life. He was like 3rd or 4th generation as well.
Back to the point – it is quite possible that Jose Alvarez has a female Pollock ancestor. The question is, would they claim him now?
Your brother-in-law’s case reminds me. Waaaay back in 1976 we had a new NCO come to Germany who was something like a 6th genereation German from Pennsylvania. His family had migrated in the mid-1800s and maintained a dialect that was very close to the local Rheinland-Pfälzer dialect — theirs might even have been the same dialect, but frozen in time.
Dialects in Germany vary from town to town. My maternal family is from Idar, and they make fun of people that speak Obersteiner. Idar-Oberstein is on town (sort of). My Dad is from Bayern, he got made fun of for the way he talked also.
Dad was a rural Mississippi boy raised in Texas, didn’t start learning German until he was in the Army getting ready to go to Europe. Our German ancestors came over in 1778-ish, so the family had lost that before the War of Northern Aggression.
One of his buddies was always after him about his Southern accent when speaking German: “Never with that accent. Never with that accent.”
Then they ended up in the Bavarian region together, needed to ask a local about something, and the Yankee said “Let me speak, your accent is too bad.” The lady could not understand the Yankee, so Dad spoke up and asked the question. Her response was “Well, why didn’t he say so?”
Dad ended up speaking German and Bernish fairly well.
FWIW, the folks in Fredericksburg, TX, kept their German language and accent pretty well intact until this latest generation.
The next initiate into the Dutch Rudder Gang? He looks like someone set his face on fire and beat it out with an Ugly Club®™️ and a pair of golf cleats.
As a former 77F (I know that the MOS numbers have changed but that was the Petroleum Supply Specialist MOS when I was in 89-92) … I can’t say I’m surprised. I had no idea what stolen valor was back then, but I do recall several of my quartermaster school classmates bragging that they had either “almost joined” the Marine Corps or “were in line for the next Special Forces class.”
What a total assclown, I hope this shit burrito stays away from children! Why can’t any of these phony ponies just tell the truth? At least if you served, be proud of what you did, all jobs are important. Don’t shit all over a good record asshole! You are a punta and a pendaho!
Now eat shit and die!
Willy,
I have shit on the Mountain of Insults®™ 26 times but no burrito.
I really want to add it but I want to punch it up a little.
Bulbous Bleeding Batrachivorous Butthole Burrito
Yeah, I like it
😉
Jose…you suck.
I thank the Lord that I removed the Un-Authorized Expert Infantry Badge from my brand new custom embroidered Army National Guard (NY) cap the other day so I don’t get blasted from the TAH Vets. Whew, that was a close call.
Count yourself lucky!
And full of common sense.
(^__^)
Hey Jeff LPH 3, 63-66, you’re legit! YOU had the conscience and foresight to do the right thing by getting rid of it .
Everything he claims…Phony.
Full time cocksucker…Check.
Well shit. Did he block me or close his page? I just tried to go there but couldn’t make the trip.
Pussy boy blocked you like you predicted.
I still see your two links to TAH.
Just one link on his page now
You have to scroll all the way down to the bottom Frankie replying to “Luis Orona Felicitaciones” comment, it’s kinda hidden.
He blocked you, Frankie.
I can still see it via the link.
Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky, you panty wetting coward. You think that blocking me will make it easier on you? Now that you have done that, watch how many of the comments following mine will use your full name, lighting you up at Goooooogle, like Las Vegas Neon. Ranger School Class 1-82? No way in hell. Special Forces Long Tab and Ranger Tab with no Airborne tab? No Phucking way, Cabron!
Hmmm …. I don’t see him here:
http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/rtb/Graduates/images/1-82.jpg
I love the pic that this ass-wipe wasn’t in. Our class motto was “icicle rangers.” But the cadre started calling us the “Christmas Rangers,” because we were the first class that was allowed a 7 day X-mas leave.
I was looking for your class photo, but see that year-group 1969 has *only* one class photo on-line: 12-69.
Gee … I was a sophmore HS student in Bangkok in 1969!
I was a rug rat back then!
Yeah. They don’t have our class picture on the website. Our pic was taken in Floriduh at Eglin Camp #7 right after the graduation formation, IIRC. One of the NCO’s in our G Co./75th association that was in my class has a copy. Unfortunately, I don’t have one, or I’d post it.
You must have experienced some “lub you long time” if you were in HS in Bangkok, when the rest of us were just trying to get to 1st or 2nd base.
My school was the International School of Bangkok.
My girlfriend was Japanese. I didn’t need to resort to “lub you long time girls” (woo hoooooooo)!
Loved her for years — she became an inflight translator for Cathay Pacific Airlines and met up with me in Germany in the mid-70s; SF & Tokyo in the mid-80s … then I got married in the late ’80s and had to erase her from my hard drive.
I’ve watched “Forensic Files” … Regular Joes can *never* totally erase their hard drives.
(Well, we can at the agency where I work — DoD 5220.22-M data sanitization method — but I’m not talking about that sort of hard drive.)
“Thanks for the mammaries ….”
My “tour guide” in Taipei when I went on my first R&R in 1971 was half Chinese and half Japanese. Those were mamaries I will keep in my hard drive forever. She did lub me long time for the whole week.
The whole week? Did you get outside from the hotel at all?
(( (* ) ( *) ))
Lookit all the fun I missed by being 5 years younger!
Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky, I am making a call to the Texas DPS CID in Austin, in the morning to ask of what your position is with them since you claim to be associated with them.
He sure likes posting pictures of Texas State Trooper cruisers on his Farcebook page, he should have stayed a handjob cumstain in a rent-by-the-hour flophouse motel.
Petroleum supply specialist aka my GT score was not even high enough to be an 88M.
Those fumes must have killed all his remaining brain cells.
I remember that everyone who worked with OTTO fuel on a daily basis seemed ‘ a bit off’
sounds like he huffed MOGAS at every opportunity.
The good old 77F vs 88M tensions. My old platoon (“Trans” Platoon … HHT 1-3 ACR) had two squads … POL (77F) and Cargo (88M) … since our platoon sergeant was an 88M, it meant that any time POL fell behind on its work, the word was, “POL is ****ing up” but whenever Cargo fell behind, the word was, “POL, step in there and help; we’re all one platoon, you know…”
In the even older stone age days that I grew up in, it would have been the 76W (POL) versus the 64C (Cargo) in the Support Platoon.
Yeah, I’m a caveman.
Y’all, Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky needs his name mentioned. He is seeking fame, and using a pronoun in the comments just doesn’t cut it. Shape up and give him the recognition that his little ego desires. Use his full name so he will be etched in the altar of St. Goooooogle in proper fashion. Y’all are slackers.
Okay, I’ll mention his name while spinning the KAK Wheel for a solution.
Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky has went FRPR (Full Retard Past Rutabaga)(Hat Tip to API) and receives the following score:
76 x 7 = 532
Gotta love the KAK wheel. It is like cow bell; you can never have too much cow bell.
I LOVE IT when something I throw out there catches on!!!
Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky seems to have turned off public comments on his FB page. Too bad that Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky can’t turn off Google!
‘E-bay wings,upon his chest,
Trying to look, like America’s Best,
One hundred men, he’ll blow today
B’cause Jose is, a Green Bidet’
Now you are giving 11B-mailclerk a run for his money. Let’s have a TAH poetry rhyme-off. Either that, or you two should collaborate on the POSers’ “Balad of the Faux Green Beret.” There has to be someone here with the musical chops to sing and record it for us.
I am flattered that someone re-posted my effort at musical humor, and that someone else thought to add to it. Call it:
The Boasting of the Dream Berets
With a little teamwork, it can be a long amusing song like “Colombo”…
“eBay wings, upon sunken chest”….just helping you out
“Failing to look, like America’s Best”
Bravo, BRAVO!! *applause*
Fracking TURD Burgler
Thankya Very Much!
It is s a work in progress. Keep them ideas coming!
This fucking dick sniffer!! Since you’re wearing a metal replica 5th SFG(A) flash and SF unit crest on your beret and shoulders I’d like to invite you to the 5th Special Forces Group reunion this Sept. I also took the liberty of forwarding this info to a buddy of mine who is a Texas State Trooper but used to be the 2/5th SFG(A) BN CSM. Internet is forever motherfucker!
Whoa. I get from earlier comments that he doesn’t even have a NDSM or GWOT because he never went on federal active duty, but how the hell did he not manage to go on ADSW/ADOS at all in 3ish years of service?!?! It takes work to not ever go on active duty other than for training any time from 2001 – 2012. Even the Coast Guard reservists who went on ADOS for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill got the NDSM!
Let me be the first to mention Jose Igor Alvarez aka Igor Gretaldezky as the new day dawns…
Can’t find his page. He probably deleted it.
POL? hey, asshat…I WAS A 77F! grrrrr….ain’t nothing wrong with giving your comrades that luscious golden go juice for their mighty steeds of iron! tanks, light/heavy vehicles…tanks..choppers…
COME ON MAN!
