Blast From the Past; Jerry Foster, the phony Navy Commander, Demented Magician
Jerry Foster, the phony Navy Commander, Demented Magician still likes to prance around as a Navy Commander. The Simi Valley DAV 55 promised that Jerry would behave, however, Jerry still likes to play dress up.
AverageNCO found this guy, Jerry Foster in the news in Simi Valley, California. He calls himself “The Demented Magician” and he entertains in the area with his little magic show. Magic is what his military career was. He claims to have spent 22 years in the Navy, retiring as a Navy Commander because of injuries he claims that he sustained in the Persian Gulf War and again in the war against terror;
Foster put in 22 years, retiring as a commander in 2002 due to injuries he sustained during tours in the Gulf War and Desert Storm. The master EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) technician—a special operations job—has two Purple Hearts: one from a bullet wound and one from a land mine.
“The second one was the one that tore me up. That was a mine that I lost an EOD man to. He was ahead, I was behind,” Foster said. “It tore my legs to pieces.”
During his 22-year military career, Foster served several tours in the Gulf War and Desert Storm, where he earned two Purple Hearts—one from a bullet wound and the other from a land mine explosion—and a number of other medals and commendations.
When a mine check mission went awry in 2002, Foster’s dreams of becoming a naval captain, a position attained after 25 years of service, were shattered.
After spending three months in a coma, the veteran said, he felt lost and had no idea what to do with his life. On top of that, he had PTSD, a mental illness that can be triggered by experiencing a terrifying event like war.
First of all, the Navy EOD Warrior online Memorial doesn’t list any Navy EOD folks killed in 2002.
The National Personnel Records Center disagrees with his version of his career trajectory;
The Navy says that he was an E-5 Hull Technician – “HT’s do the metal work necessary to keep all types of shipboard structures and surfaces in good condition. They also maintain shipboard plumbing and marine sanitation systems, repair small boats, operate and maintain ballast control systems.” Nothing about explosives. His only award was a Good Conduct Medal – no Bronze Stars, no Purple Hearts. I don’t know how he squeezed in three tours of the Gulf War, it only lasted a few weeks – three years after he got out of the Navy. And if you don’t believe his records, he has a certificate for the war against terror;

Added 5-16-2016; Foster admitted to DAV that he was deceitful in the wearing of unauthorized awards and rank and he’s promised them that he won’t do it again. He hasn’t admitted it to us, but here;

Ah, Yes, it all comes rushing back now.
I believe this is the only turd polisher we’ve ever had on TAH that wore four (4) Bronze Service Stars on the NDSM.
OK I found out where the problem is…the news article said he received “two purple ‘arts”! the sucker is a blooming limey! lol 😉
Another lying sack of shit standing in the blood of others. I hope you enjoy your new internet fame you sock puppet, now do us all a favor and make your sorry ass disappear!
Oh yeah. It’s him, my idol, the Magic Man. (DJ, if you please.)
“…When a mine check mission went awry in 2002, Foster’s dreams of becoming a naval captain, a position attained after 25 years of service, were shattered…”
So if you do 25 years of service, you automatically make O-6? My O-6 promo board lied to me, I’m going to sue…///
Hey why actually serve and attain the rank when you can just PRETEND after the fact? Makes sense….
Fucko already has the tombstone ready too. Fuck him now and fuck him into the great beyond.
No Command at Sea insignia? Laughing boy here missed a trick.
Nicely done, ex-OS2. The hook is baited, perhaps we’ll get a nibble.
I didn’t see where anyone went back to DAV so I’ll drop them a note and ask WTF. davcahdqt@aol.com I just loved their 2016 response written by someone with a broom stick up his butt trying to sound all formal and official, “We wish to inform you” rather than, “We cut his dick off.”
That jacket is like five sizes too big.
He looks like a turtle in a shell.
“When a mine check mission went awry in 2002, Foster’s dreams of becoming a naval captain, a position attained after 25 years of service, were shattered.”
Yeah, getting promoted to O-6 in the Navy is based on cumulative years of service. It’s automatic. Everyone knows that.
And did he steal that Big Suit from David Byrne of the Talking Heads?
Another Snipe discracing the Engineering Dept. This guy likes to “Foster” his Navy career and he may be a succesfull Magician but he isn’t playing with a full deck on the Navy embellishment. I don’t remember any stories about him while I subscribed to the now defunct Magic Magazine which lasted 25 years and now subscribing to Genie Magazine. He could have been written up, but I don’t remember if he was. I see he reviewed a Magic routine or two when I googled his name before writing my comment.
This may be were we get the term, “Bananas Foster”….
Fuck you Jerry Jerkoff.
I dare you to come in here and get your batch ass handed to you.
Pussy.
This Dude is out there. I think I got a contact high when I visited his facebook page.
A mine went off and it messed up his legs….
Okay, but does anyone have pix of him in – wait for it: shorts in the summer? Wouldn’t that kind of chill the ‘messed up the legs’ meme for him?
He has a rather lame and timid imagination.
In my imagination, I’m a beer Admiral on a Fleet Barship, and we don’t serve his kind in our bar.
Fuck you jerry Foster.
I seem to remember that when JERRY FOSTER was outed here at TAH, his “MOM” came by and defended him.
JERRY FOSTER = TURD CHASER
JERRY FOSTER = STOLEN VALOR ASSCLOWN
Take a look at the ribbons in that white shirt pic. He’s got an American campaign ribbon in there, which is a WWII award. And like 4 stars on the NDSM. Which makes him the only one ever to receive so many, or a senior enlisted advisor to the chairman.
An American campaign WWII Ribbon Mason? He must live in Boca Raton Florida and got one of those famous Botox Boca Babe Botox face lift shots on his face because he doesn’t look 90+.
2 Purple Arts? Watch out for this guy.
He doesn’t just practice the ‘Black arts’, Purple Arts as well, which he learned on Key West and Fire Island.
Hey, dipshit, if you enjoy playing dress up with a CDR’s blouse, why don’t you get yourself some dolls? You could sit around and change their outfits and what not. Get those Barbie dolls. Be careful, though, seeing them naked may give you a woodie. Glad I could help.
Hey, the other moron who was featured here today had his ‘lawer’ threaten us. Why don’t you do the same?
People ask me “how many tours” did I do in the Gulf War. I don’t fault them for it. My family still tells people I drove a tank and was the gunner – since you know, the gunner’s hand station is with the driver.
I was a Bradley Gunner, Cavalry Scout. I do tell people a Bradley is like a small tank. Filled with lots of whoop-ass but not the big ass barrel of fun.
I politely tell them that my total time in DS/DS was close to 8 months, the air campaign started in January 1991 and the ground war was officially over February 28, 1991.
I would say there were no “tours” between Vietnam and the Iraq War (2001).
And although I had front row seats and back stage passes in the Iraq 1990-1991 Tour, the band sucked and the music fucked up my hearing.
Maybe they think DS/DS/DS counts as three tours? Or, maybe I should claim multiple “tours” because there were several cities involved, and I didn’t do all the driving. At least one pilot gave me a running commentary on the sights as we flew over them. That might count as a separate “tour.”
Nobody ever asked me that. Had they, I would likely have just laughed at them.
How many tours did you do?
All of them. 🙂
Abracadabra-*POOF!*, and Jerry Foster the phony Navy Commander is STILL a piece of shit!
you didn’t even have to roll a 20…LOL!
“Abracadabra-*POOF!*, and Jerry Foster the phony Navy Commander is STILL a piece of shit!”
That’s some funny stuff. Yet another reason I come to this site. Highly entertaining.
After 5 years of active service he managed to get ZERO awards? Not even an achievement medal?
I know that awards can be hard, but hell, they aren’t that hard to earn.
Oh…wait…earn.
WTF was I thinking?
Nah, Navy has always been pretty fucking stingy when it comes to enlisted awards.
I remember a ET Chief in A-school. Outstanding guy, but his only awards were his 5 GCMs.
wow…no wonder retention is an issue.
Except in this guys case. The Navy won the lottery when he took off.
You could have at least pixelated the poor dog’s face
Dude looks like an extra from a SNL “Coneheads” skit.
This loser is intent on shaming his family from beyond the grave.
And there is nothing magical about that.
The real disgrace is the way the DAV closed ranks around this dickhead and tried to make me the bad guy when I asked them to do something about him. Those cowards never had the balls to even return my phone call.
Including the phrase “much to your chagrin” in their denial of having closed ranks to protect this guy speaks volumes about exactly what they did, and apparently continue to do. That was some kinda strange letter they penned to supposedly close the matter.
There is some real strange stuff happening in Simi Valley. That scumbag, Ed Tingstrom (phony Special Forces), is from The Simi Valley VFW 10049. And, just between us girls, there seems to be another phony EOD Tech in the Simi Valley DAV Chapter 55. Turns out his files were indeed lost to the fire but there are other ways to get at the truth. The wheels of truth turn slowly but they don’t stop. I suggest he just admit his deceit like Jerry did.
