Allen Mosher; Phony Army Green Beret
Our friends over at Guardian of the Green Beret send us their case on Allen B Mosher. Its seems Al couldn’t be proud of what he actually did do in the Army so he started making stuff up.
Not sure who he was trying to be with that ribbon salad on his back window.
Allen was making fun of one or our posers from a few years back. 
His official records were requested through the Freedom of Information act.
When Allen Mosher was confronted he figured it would be a good idea to scrape that stuff off of his truck and issue an apology.
Head over the Guardians of the Green Beret for the rest of the story.

he’d be better off using some of that “sticker money” on running his truck through the car wash…..dick
What a dork. Why not wear a patch that says he’s a Space Shuttle Doorgunner, too? That would get lots of attention and conversation from Sci-Fi nerds.
Third ribbon row, center, looks like the Combat Action Ribbon?
He’s seen ALL the combat.
Yep
And also the Purple Handjob Medal?
They don’t just give those away by the billions. Oh wait–they do.
I never trust a dude who puts his 201 file on the back of his truck.
Even if true…
My favorite are the guys who tattoo it on their body.
Mosher’s probably bitter over serving 9+ years in the Army National Guard then getting booted curbside as an E-1 (or E-4?). He legitimately earned the CIB. Even though he stepped on his crank, Mosher should be proud of that singular accomplishment earned while deployed in the early years of the GWOT.
Plus he earned the coveted Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal and NDSM. Usually, those two awards alone are chick magnets – no need to go down the Ranger and SF rabbit holes of embellishment.
Indeed the CIB requires no embellishment, the value of the CIB stands easily on its own.
I was wondering WTF he was able to obtain all those decal ribbons since I need some eye candy for my rear window next to the MAGA decal; and had a BFO (i.e. blinding flash of the obvious) for a business venture. We will shortly be offering NSDM license plates for those in single license plate states seeking special attention. The plate should suffice for numerous discounts, special parking privileges and probably attract chicks by the pickup truck load. Of course, a percentage of all sales proceeds will be donated to an unspecified veterans fund so you know this is the real deal.
Make an ASR version and I might consider that purchase /sarc
In Virginia you can buy a DMV issued license plate for just about any campaign medal you qualified for. https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/#splates/category.asp?category=M
Fortunately, individual medals are limited to the Bronze Star/PH level and above.
I’ll swap him my Ranger Tab for his CIB.
….. errr ….
Mebbys not. Still, wish I could have earned a CIB; all I got was a “CIB With Blank Adapter”.
Employers let you write your own check if you have a CIB.
Panties fall off when you enter a room.
Your cold water tap automatically starts to pour light beer.
Your divorce judge apologize profusely while they give you what’s in their wallet.
STDs cure themselves.
Etc…
I was wondering why I could not get my clothes clean…boss kept saying hey smelled like old beer when I knew I put on stuff I just washed…’cause it was folded.
How do I get that taken off of my file? Or do I have to go back to washing my clothes in the stream again?
Once you’re in the club, you stay in the club.
Remember, if your boss is giving you a problem you just wave your c**k at them.
9 out of 10 times it’ll get you a raise.
The remander, your boss gets the ‘raise’
YMMV.
You guys are killin’ me! Thanks for the laughs!
(^__^)
This dumb fuck has a CIB….there’s no need to embellish anything when you have a CIB.
You pissed on your blue cord and your CIB, very poor form dude, poor form indeed.
Shit on himself, and shit-spalled many of those around him. Jesus Allen, think before you act next time.
Some folks like to even pretend they have a CIB, even though they never had an infantry MOS.
Some folks get an Infantry MOS when they’re in the Navy…those are some really odd fukkers.
A CIB on a DD214 doesn’t really mean a whole lot to me. I’ve seen CABs / CIBs awarded for recieving or delivering indirect fire. And we’ve all seen how many posers get phoney awards added by their buddies in the S1.
Add to it that he has an expeditionary medal which means he wasn’t in any of the major combat zones that are covered by an Afghanistan or Iraq service medal. also, he is national guard. Their awards and promotions almost seem arbitrary.
Please correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. I might just have my head up my ass here.
You are correct about men getting CIB’s who didn’t deserve them. One battalion CSM in the Viet of the Nam I served with claimed he was entitled to and received a CIB for an RPG that came in one door of his Huey and out the other. The helo combat assault was into a cold LZ, and the air crew and others on the bird said it didn’t happen. But who is going to dispute it when the battalion commander tells the S-1 to put the CSM in for a CIB? I might add the CSM was a fat fuck who never spent a day in the field for many years, as he was a career staff puke recently serving a Pentagon assignment.
“combat assault was into a cold LZ,”
Just a word of advice,: (from a former Huey Crew Chief/Door Gunner in the Viet of the Nam)
Never!!, I Say Again, Never!! try to land in a LZ that’s been marked with white smoke./smile
You mean like from a willie pete round or an artillery smoke round, which come to think of it, may be the same thing.
Nope, like white smoke = CS.
Hey Allen – “Somebody kick this douche-nozzle in the vagina for me”.
Kind of appropriate for you, huh?
Fucking assclown….
“Overseas Service Bar”
Just the one?
Where did he deploy for 6 months?
Maybe it’s on the continuation.
AFEM but no campaign ribbon, no GWOT. It’s odd.
Is the RC eligible for GWOTEM? I know that window wasn’t open for long, maybe it the same reqs for AFEM…?
I’m too damn lazy to look up 600-8-22.
I know our guys (USAFR) who deployed to Qatar got the GWOT-EM. Would have been ’03, right after the Iraq war started.
I was awarded the GWOT-EM twice in the RC. Once for Afghanistan and once for an OIF deployment to Kuwait.
My guess is no ICM or ACM because the awards hadn’t yet been approved (I don’t think they were approved until 2004 or 2005.) Prior to the ICM and ACM being approved the standard campaign medal for a GWOT deployment was the GWOT-EM regardless of which country you went to.
When I retired in early 2004 the criteria for ICM and ACM hadn’t been established yet. Same for the KDSM.
Probably a 12 month deployment that got cut short. Happens quite a bit.
My unit deployed to Kuwait for OIF in 2004 (when it still counted as a “combat” deployment) and we were told we’d be there for 12 months. But we arrived in late January and departed in mid December. Total of about 10 1/2 months.
But for the OSB any part of a calendar month counts as a month for award purposes, so we got 12 months of “credit” for OSB award purposes (since we were in-country for 12 calendar months, January through December.)
I’m guessing his unit probably left in month 10 or 11 so he only qualified for one OSB.
“we arrived in late January and departed in mid December”
Same here for Viet of the Nam. My DD-214 says two bars even though I had 11 months and change.
What were the two bars? Places where alcohol was consumed. Personally, I drank in many more than two.
Never mind, I see you are all talking about Overseas Service Bars. Since I have 21 months of overseas service, sixteen and fifteen months respectively for Germany and RVN, how many do I get?
Only for combat zones. Otherwise, I’d have 4 for Germany, 2 for Korea, and 10 for Japan!
Thanks, I knew I had some. Many officers back in my day never wore them. Never put any on my greens; I think I only wore my greens about four times after I returned from the RVN before I left AD; I never wore my greens when in the reserve components, only fatigues.
It could have been up to an 11 month, 29 day deployment.
You only get credit for 6 month deployment blocks for awards and reduction in pension waiting time for NG.
Nope, see my comment above. 11 months and 29 days is 12 calendar months.
Any part of a calendar month counts as a month for OSB purposes.
Now, a 10 month and 29 day deployment could earn someone only one OSB if they departed CONUS on the first day of the month they deployed and arrived back in CONUS on the last day of Month 11.
So, say Private Snuffy departs CONUS on May 1st, 2003 and returns CONUS on March 31, 2004. He would get an OSB for his first 6 calendar months (May through October) but would not qualify for a second because November – March is only 5 calendar months. His total deployed time is 11 months exactly.
Same situation except that Private Parts departs CONUS on May 31st 2003 and returns to CONUS on April 1st, 2004.
Private Parts earns 2 OSBs because he was outside CONUS for 12 “calendar” months even though he was actually deployed almost a month less than Snuffy (10 months & 2 days vs. 11 months.)
EDITED TO ADD: I believe the “any part of a month counts as a calendar month for OSB purposes” is no longer the rule. IIRC it changed sometime within the past 3 or 4 years and now they count days, rather than calendar months.
But when Mosher was in, the old rule applied, i.e. any part of a month counts that month towards OSB credit.
So 5 months and a day will get you a bar?
Even better: 4 months and 2 days will get you a bar. Arrive March 31. You are covered for March. Stay through August 1st. You are qualified for 1 OSB even though you were outside CONUS for 4 days and 2 months. Again I would point out that I believe this changed a few years back I think it was about the same time the rules changed for Hazardous Duty Pay and Combat Zone Tax Exclusion. Those also used to be on the “one day during the calendar month qualifies you for the entire month” rule. Funny story about that: When I deployed to the Former Yugoslavia in 1997 for Operation Joint Guard, my unit (805th MP CO) was based at Taszar Air Base in Hungary, which was the site of the Intermediate Staging Base or ISB. The ISB was located in a “safe” country (Hungary, which later joined NATO) and thus being stationed in Hungary did NOT qualify a soldier for either Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) OR Combat Zone Tax Exclusion (CZTE.) HOWEVER, entering ANY part of a Former Yugoslav country DID qualify a soldier for both IDB and CZTE. Taszar is located in Southern Hungary and as MPs one of our frequent missions was to escort convoys in and out of Croatia (the convoys originated or terminated in Bosnia.) We also had to run route recon (Black 5) missions on the roads going into Croatia. So those of us in the line platoons (I was a squad leader) always qualified for IDP and CZTE because we would go into Croatia at least once or twice a week. But the soldiers in the Company HQ and others who had “office jobs” in Hungary did not qualify. Except – funny thing! It seemed like every month, around, oh, say the 30th or 31st, the Supply Sergeant and the 1st Sergeant, maybe the CO, would need to go down to Croatia, where we had a platoon. They’d often stay overnight and come back – yep, you guessed it – on the 1st of the month. Other times, big-wigs who worked at… Read more »
Somalia in ’93 was jacked up on the “combat zone” ruling. We drew overseas pay, imminent danger (“combat”) pay, family separation pay, yet we didn’t qualify for the “combat zone tax exemption” because Somalia was not designated a “combat zone”. However… Camp Doha, Kuwait, was. WTF?
How was this dude active for basic for 11.5 weeks but MOS q’ed for 11B?
Last time I went to Bang Bang sahcool it was 13 weeks.
I get the NG can OJT to an MOS, but…
Unless TRADOC did a shake-n-bake after 9-11, and his active time coincides.
I believe at that time 11B OSUT was only 11 weeks. It was 12 when I went through in 1980.
I know it fluctutes depending on what else is going on in the Army.
In the fine print of his fake book (?) page, Embellishing POS Allen Mosher also makes claim to sniper school. Didn’t see that listed on the 214. Why am I not surprised.
Honorably joined the Nasty Girls, didn’t plan on the GOT, NG unit got called up as a round out Brigade, maybe? Came home with honorable record then took the “King’s Shilling”, did some dick stepping and got throwed out of the NG?
Smooth move exlax. Nice sh*t sundae you conjoured up, Dippy!
Yeah he fucked up and shit all over himself, but he at least had the balls to admit it and scrape all that off of his truck instead of doubling down and making lawer threats like others have done.
Butthole.

Isn’t that a “Military Training Instructor Ribbon” that issued by the United States Air Force?
I thought he was Army……..
Be proud of what you earned, not what you can by catalogs.
Broke dick dumbass!
Criteria:
The Military Training Instructor Ribbon is an award of the United States Air Force that recognizes any member of the Air Force who completes at least a year long tour of duty as a military training instructor. Created in 1998 the award may be issued retroactively to any service member who meets the criteria as long as they were on active duty or a member of a reserve command as of December 1998.
……buy in catalogs.
Sure do look like it. He got some military training while he was in, so that’s like the same, right?
Maybe he was just coloring from the full palette of ribbondom. After all, he awarded himself a silver star, a bronze star w/ v device, and multiple purple hearts.
I just don’t get this crap. Just sign up, show up, don’t get in enough trouble to get thrown out, serve merely adequately, finish and go home.
Congrats. You are now in an elite of less than 1% of today’s America.
Just for -that- bit.
Apply yourself diligently and you will likely have some legit bling.
Why crap all over it with BS? You -will- be found out, and shamed. Why do it?
Maybe it is some kind of micro-penis/micro-brain syndrome.
He’s got a real Sling Blade look goin there, Um Hum.
Got some mustard for them biscuits?
Who’s the keeper of “The Green Bidet” song? Looks like a good time to bring it out!
AW1Ed is the keeper of the “Ballad of the Green Bidet.”
This fellow pulled a “Smullet”. Took a stable situation and trampled on his own crank (in Smullet’s case maybe it was someone else’s but that’s another story for another day).
As far as license plates I have to say the ones I seriously admire are the Viet Nam service plates. “Cook, baker or candlestick maker..you were there:..and thanks for your service when so many others avoided it.
