Wilson Ryan Tinsley; phony Ranger, Special Forces

| March 25, 2018

Someone sent us their work on this fellow, Wilson Ryan Tinsley who claims that he is a special forces soldier and he has a Ranger Tab tattoo;

His Instagram account is peppered with pictures that he wants you believe are pictures of him in combat, but they’re pictures that he snagged from elsewhere;

On his resume, Tinsley claims to have been in Delta and the 3rd Ranger Battalion;

Mr Tinsley, was in the Army from September 3, 1999 to December 27, 1999, he never left the basic training company;

Another real over-achiever. And oh, yeah, he’s also served in the St Augustine jail for felony battery.

Did he even get to draw TA-50?
Prick.

Combat Historian

Did he even ever took a record APFT?

Castro Hawk

Didn’t even make exodus. Was told don’t come back cockfag

CPT11A

If he wants to be a badass so desperately, let’s drop his ass off on the Iraq-Syria border with nothing but boots and a K-bar. If he makes it back alive, we’ll agree to not remove his dumbass tattoo with a handsaw.

jonp

He might have a smile on his face and a briefcase full of money

M1 Hound

And a Ranger tat

The Handy-Dandy Julian Date Calendar says Wilson Ryan Tinsley “served” a grand total of 115 days.

But Wilson Ryan Tinsley was able to suck up on both the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals at the mess hall while he “served.”

Barely enough time spent “serving” for good back-to-back Pinon Canyon/NTC Rotations./smile

Hondo

But not enough time to qualify for many VA bennies, if I recall correctly.

Doc Savage

He never would have survived the dreaded “whales gap” or a night in the dust bowl.

rgr1480

Ohhhhh …. you brought back some memories, Doc!!

I was a platoon OC on Green Team back from 1983-5. Spent many a night on Furlong Ridge [had to be renamed because the CG did not like topo features named after “legendary” OCs], passed through the “Valley of Death, dodged barrel cactus up in Afghanistan, raised huge sand clouds at Bicycle Lake, blew up my jeep in front of a battalion AAR near Dolly Parton (not far from the Chinaman’s Hat), and even got to see brine shrimp when the rains came. Even killed me a sidewinder by stomping on it.

Ahhhhhhhhh … back when Ft. Irwin was the last of the army frontier posts!

Ex-PH2

Never would have survived 10 days at WAVES boot camp.

Are those ‘guns’ he’s flaunting really his?

Claw

Nope. Betcha those “guns” came in a package marked “Roid Rage.”

Ex-PH2

In giving it dues consideration, Claw, and taking everything else into consideration, I would surmise that those photos of the weight-liftin’ guy probably are not photos of Mr. Tinsley.

I think the only real photo of Mr. Tinsley is the mug shot. He does almost look like he’s got a goiter going in the mug shot.

Claw

Ex, I saw a picture of Wilson Ryan Tinsley with a family group before he deleted his Facebook page.

He had “fisted” up his “guns” in that picture also and his left arm had that same Ranger tattoo on it as in the lifting picture, so they’re both of the same turd.

What you’re seeing (I think) is the effects on the face and body of too much steroid usage from one picture to another picture.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Probably has more time in poundhimintheass prison as Mr. “Tiny’s” bride than in the military.

rgr769

But didn’t he beat the vaunted Gunga Dan Blather line by four or five days? If so, he has that going for him.

Claw

Yep, Wilson Ryan Tinsley did beat out Gunga Dan. The Gunga Dan Blather Line was a grand total of 111 days “service” in the Corps.

But I discount both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day while Wilson Ryan Tinsley was in OSUT/Admin Hold Awaiting Discharge Status, so Wilson Ryan Tinsley really only beat Gunga Dan by just two days total “service”./smile

NHSparky

Rancid cherry, shit sundae, yadda yadda yadda.

2/17 Air Cav

Looks like a Mario from New Joisey, w/o the thick gold chain.

26Limabeans

Sad puppy mugshot. I’ll bet he cried in jail.
Just like in Basic.

thebesig

Notice how his head is turned slightly left in the mugshot, but his nose points towards the camera, angling right? I wouldn’t be surprised that he’s a veteran of many a fist fight. The trend of his making piss poor judgement calls is strong with this one.

The beefing up in the gym, Special Forces + Rangers claims, etc., rooster feather puff to those that want to reorganize him in the future… also there to bolster a phony persona that he constructed to fill a hole in his life… One created as a result of poor judgement and doing what he wants to do at the expense of what he’s supposed to do. 🙄

Wilson Ryan Tinsley is a phony Special Forces veteran, he’s a phony Army Ranger veteran, and he doesn’t appear to have been an operator either.

Calling him a “has been” would be too nice, and not reflective of his history. He’s an example of someone that’s a “never was”. 🙄

Could be the Army is catching up at the TAH starting gate.

Wilted Willy

Jonn, WTF is with Florida? I have lived here for over 40 years now and just don’t understand it. Most folks here love the military and when I wear my Army Vet hat, I always get thanked for my service. Most anywhere I go I usually get a free drink! Maybe that is why we get all of these lying cocksuckers? This asshat was a real deal hero huh???

Hondo

Maybe that is why we get all of these lying cocksuckers?

Well, that plus the (1) low taxes, (2) nice weather, and (3) tons of gullible folks, many elderly, who’re willing to accept outrageous stories at face value. Put all of those together, and Florida’s quite attractive to fakes and scammers of all types.

2/17 Air Cav

Don’t forget I95. I blame I95. It’s a straight shot from Jersey and New York to FL.

Hondo

Don’t forget I-75. It facilitates entry to Florida from Detroit and (indirectly, via connecting Interstate highways) Chicago.

rgr769

Floriduh is also full of savvy fraudsters because of its unlimited homestead exemption from civil judgments. You can own a multi-million dollar home with millions in furnishings and have no fear that those you defrauded can collect anything from you. I had an estranged wife of a crooked Iranian fraudster explain that is why her husband had a Florida license and owned a home there furnished with over a million dollars worth of Persian rugs. Needless to say, my client never recovered a nickel of the judgment we obtained against him.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Wilted Willy;
I retired in 2007 and moved to South Florida to reside in my late Mom’s residence and I always get the thank you for your service from adults and kids when wearing one of my Vet’s hats in Publix, on the street and in various stores that I shop in. In the short time that I have been on this site, I see that a lot more of the phony vets reside or have resided in this State than other States. Still a number of WW2 and Korean War Vets around wearing their caps that I see. Great to talk to these guys at Applebees and Golden Corral during Vet’s day.

HMC Ret

Ditto, Willy. I’ve lived here since 84; it was my last duty station. I only began wearing a Navy cover about year ago. I get thanks once in a while, although that isn’t the reason for the cover. I tell folks it was my honor (It was.) I don’t drink alcohol and never go to bars, so I’ve not been offered a drink. I was once offered a free cup of coffee, which I tried to decline but it was offered by such a sweet elderly lady, I had to accept. I sometimes feel uncomfortable when thanked for me service. Truth be told, I benefited tremendously from my service, much more so, I feel, than the country benefited by my service. I must say, though, Florida does seem to have an inordinate number of posing pieces of shit. Seems I see most of them on the street corners with signs stating veteran service and ‘any amount helps’ along with the obligatory blessing from God. Most posers say they wear their phony regalia to ‘honor’ their cousin or uncle or whomever. Bullshit. I, however, have simple Navy cover and I do wear it to honor the Navy service.

Rock
Wilted Willy

HMC, I wasn’t talking about alcohol, I mainly get free cokes when I go to five guys with my grandson, he always comps me a free drink! I don’t go to bars wearing my vet hat anyway, always some asshole wants to start something?

Claw

This Impacted Turtle Head (new entry for the Mountain of Insults?) needs to contact Shane Kunzeman over there in Palm Harbor, Floriduh and have his resume updated.

Weren’t Wilson Ryan Tinsley and Shane Kunzeman both Rangers during the same time frame?

Ex-PH2

If his brilliant career is a fake, made up out of dust bunnies and feral hog snot, could it be that his appearance is likewise impacted something “speshul”, such as – oh, I don’t know… maybe hemorrhoids? Is there another kind of ‘roid? They all cause swellings, don’t they?

Ex-PH2

I should add here that if you compare the two photos (mug shot vs. warrior shot), the facial hair pattern is not the same, however faint it may be on the real troop.

In addition, the noses are completely different, not just the nasal bone, but the width of the nostril flare. (I don’t know if the nostril flare has anything to do with the amount of dust in the air in the Middle East, but there is that, too.)

And (spew alert!!!) then, there’s that real problem-o – the curve of the lips. The real troop has a rather wide mouth with relatively thin lips, whereas the perp’s mouth is small and feminine, with lips that are round and firm and fully-packed.

Claw

“round and firm and fully packed.”

Hmmm, sounds like an L&M.

One things for sure, Wilson Ryan Tinsley is getting his ass smoked right now./smile

Claw

Oops, my bad.

Should be Lucky Strikes, not L&M.

Mea Culpa

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Lucky Strikes Mean Fine Tobacco.

Claw

I miss the Hamms bear.

Hondo

Ahh – good old Hamms beer!

2/17 Air Cav

One of the best beer commercials evah!

Claw

That may be the best commercial evah, but the best jingle evah was:

“Kegs, Cans, or Bottles, all taste the same. The three best is one beer — Blatz is the name.”

((Smile))

The Stranger

Nice voice, but I prefer the “Drink Schlitz or I’ll kill you” commercials. Especially the one with the mountain lion.

Claw

Ha. Speaking of Schlitz, I wonder if the life-long theme song of Wilson Ryan Tinsley is that 1968 tune from Jerry Lee Lewis:

“What’s Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)

I’m thinking, Yah.

Ex-PH2

Nobody knows how to make ice cream chocolate or strawberry sodas any more.

Claw

I know what you mean. I’ve been looking for years for a good drugstore that still makes cherry phosphates and haven’t found one yet.

But my search continues.

One of these days……..

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Circa 1953 we had a drugstore that had a marble counter and a malted if I remember cost 25 cents and a NYC style egg cream was a dime.

Ex-PH2

Cherry phosphate and a copy of ‘Green Lantern’ or ‘Aquaman’….

Kids today don’t know what the real world was like.

Claw

Yes, Ma’am, time was that with a two-bit piece you could get a Sgt Rock or Superman comic book, a small cherry phosphate, one of those big old in a blue wrapper Hollywood candy bars and have enough left over for three penny Bazooka bubble gums.

It took almost all day long pulling a Radio Flyer with a wobbly wheel up and down the gravel or dirt back country roads collecting beer and pop bottles for return on the penny deposit, but it was worth it.

Those were the days./smile

rgr769

I can see you now, draggin that wagon to the corner drug for your redemption and big pay day. Wish I had a time machine so I could join you for a cherry phosphate. It reminds me of my times at the Rexall Drug in Am. Fork, Utah in the 1950’s.

Graybeard

Many a time I would pickup empty coke bottles on the way home from school and turn them in for 24-cents. Comics were 12-cents each. Tax wasn’t charged on 12-cents, but was on 24-cents.
I’d turn in the bottles, get my 24-cents, buy one comic, walk out the door, then walk right back in and buy the 2nd comic – avoiding the tax.

I suspect the guy behind the counter laughed at me, but I didn’t pay that tax!

rgr769

This faker/phuker has a long nose and a short chin, whereas the real trigger-puller in the chopper photo doesn’t. It is obvious this is not our phony pony in the pic.

Ex-PH2

No, and I’d like to know who the real troop is. I get tired of these phonies stealing photos of real people in real combat zones and claiming “that’s me!”

Why not claim that Michelangelo didn’t carve the “David”, but you did?

Bim

If my Google-fu is strong today, this is his LinkdIn account as well. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryantinsley/

He seems to have hidden under his rock rather quickly after being exposed, so I suspect it won’t stay up for long. Thank god for screenshots.

He’s currently the Director of Operations (uh, huh) for Reddy Ice, fwiw.

Bim

And *poof*… that was fast, Ryan. You can run and hide, but stuff like this will always catch up with you.

Claw

No blocking involved. Everything has been wiped off the board.

thebesig

What’s pointed out above regarding his social and linkedin profiles “hiding” all of a sudden?

That’s an indication of his control issues. Wilson Ryan Tinsley, phony Army Ranger veteran, phony Army Special Forces veteran, has a felony assault charge (from above). If that was a result of domestic assault, or next in a series of domestic assault, it wouldn’t surprise me. The need for control is a player in domestic, or other types of assault that this individual may engage in.

thebesig

Wilson Ryan Tinsley, phony Army Ranger veteran, phony Special Forces veteran, is no stranger to committing assault, or to the prison From 2013:

HT3 '83-'87

According to Linkedin, he graduated from Fresno State with a business degree right after his cup of coffee with the Army. It seem like plenty of phonies are also earning college degrees in the same time frame of their supposed service. Although the background of his Linkedin profile has a uniform sleeve bearing SF, Ranger, and Airborne, he does not list any Army experience. I guess that he wants you to think he supports the Army’s elite warriors with out claiming to be one? Doubtful…I bet he boars ’em around the water cooler with all his “ops stories”

2/17 Air Cav

Bragging bullshitters defeat their own cause when they have to shut down or go private. It’s rather like Ahmed the mobile propane griller from the other day.

OldManchu

I’m wondering what in the hell a phony does with a tattoo like that after they get busted?

At what point do they look in the mirror and say “oh fuck… I am such a serious loser!”

Club Manager, USA ret.

Interesting how quickly their Facebook pages get taken down once exposed.

Here’s one résumé that Wilson Ryan Tinsley, phony Army Ranger veteran, phony Special Forces veteran, won’t be able to hide. This guy has a history of getting into trouble with the law:

Wilson Ryan Tinsley 2001 to 2017

Thunderstixx

So basically, Wilson Ryan Tinsley is a pukeface wannabe Army Ranger/Special Forces and the moron couldn’t even finish basic training….
Talk about the lowest of the low, this one is really low to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, and that’s over 5 miles deep…

Combat Historian

Fucker claims SFOD-D but couldn’t even finish OSUT. Total piece of shit with no redeeming value; none whatsoever…

He qualified OYFG

Out you fucking go….

Camp Dawson, WV would have ground this piece of shit to a can of Garrett Snuff within the first 24hours!!

Wilted Willy

I can only hope that someday, all of these cocksuckers will disappear and Jonn will be out of business. But I know that will never happen. Jonn will always have job security! I also hope my pos brother David “Doc” Shrum will be put in jail with the New Mexico Stolen Valor law, but I doubt it?? He has made too much money off of his PTSD disability scam for all these years!

Lars Taylor's Narcissism

I went to do my laundry this afternoon. I would have done it sooner, but got up late due to partying all night. Then that God aweful stench hit me. Someone shit in my washing machine and puked in my dryer.

I know that it was me, after coming from drinking all night, but I want to blame someone else. I am supposed to be perfect.

Green Thumb

This turd could not even cut basic.

What a loser.

Andy11M

He had enough time to smell the moth balls at 30th AG, then back on the street. I guess that’s just like being a Ranger and a member of Delta.

Martin

This guy goes to my gym. I recently approached him after seeing his tattoo, to question him about his unit. Upon asking him and him replying, it appeared as though he may have down syndrome. I was then quickly approached by a female asking me if she could help me and telling me that he had been in a tragic car accident and laid in a coma for 3 months last year. I asked her what she could tell me of his military service, and all she could tell me is that she knew he was medically discharged and that he gets disability but that was prior to his accident. Unfortunately, I don’t think he is catching the brunt of this as he should. Instead, his family are probably the ones now protecting him. Karma?

Does he hang around the men’s room at the gym?

Carlton G. Long

It’s ironic…fellow keeps himself in great shape … has biceps he could actually be proud of, but rather chooses to use them as a backdrop for his tomfoolery.

Landon

I think Wilson Ryan Tinsley is a disgrace. Is there any truth about anything he has done? On his Linkedin, Did Calif. Fresno College even have correspondent courses 20 years ago? I checked out the SJSO site on his photo and he has 7 charges there during the time he says he was enlisted. His favorite thing to do then seemed to be stalking and beating up women, oh and stealing cars.

Green Thumb

And diddling boys….

Casey

Give him this much: he got the 4 months part right…

Landon

Right, LMAO But I can still read he says he is Military driven and saw somewhere he is claimin’ 6 years and 4 months and is a SSGT before he hid it, so he is just Military Usin” to his BENEFIT !!!!! Did he really even give them the 4 months ?
