Richard Wayne Jowers – Fake Army Airborne Ranger, Combat Wounded, Blog of Shame

| February 12, 2020

The nice folks over at militaryphony.com send us a case on Richard Wayne Jowers.  There are a few updates I will add before the MP case appears.  This was done last night by KTXS12:

 

Here are some additional claims made by Jowers:

 

Here are a few more:

 

Sadly, tragedy strikes most of us at times during our life.  How we deal with it weaves the fiber of our character.   I do not believe Jowers made false claims about his military service as a jerk knee response because he was mad at his opponent.   His attempt at faux humility and false statements seem to be a bit more systemic than that.

To go from actually being a Private that was kicked out of the Army for Desertion with an Other than Honorable Discharge to claims of being a Wounded Army Ranger Staff Sergeant is repugnant at best.  Did he file a false employment application with his current employer?  It appears he was obligated at the time of his hire to report an Other than Honorable Discharge.   Did he provide a DD-214 at the time of hire and if so, does it match his official military records? How long has he been making false claims about his service?

I bet some good people around his part of the world know some of the answers to those questions.

BACKGROUND

Richard Wayne Jowers comes to us from Baird, Texas. At the time of this writing, February 2020, Jowers is 53 years old. He more commonly goes by “Rick” and / or “Ricky.”

Jowers is the Chief Deputy for Callahan County, Texas.

Jowers is currently running for Sheriff of Callahan County with the election being held on March 3, 2020.

In some of the debates leading up to the election, Jowers has claimed to have been a US Army Airborne Ranger. Here he asks candidate Leroy Foley if he was an Airborne Ranger and then affirms that they both were.

In a Clyde County Town Hall meeting designed to hear from the two candidates, held on January 6, 2020, Jowers states that that “was in the military – took a bullet for his country.”

There was some question about Foley, the other candidate, and his military claims. Foley eventually dropped out of the race.

STATEMENT

We had received submissions about Jowers and his military claims having to do with being at the Black Hawk Down event in Somalia in 1993, being wounded, killing hundreds of the enemy, etc. We largely ignored these claims because many were wild and most all had no proof associated with them, therefore it was hearsay. However, we started hearing similar claims over and over again from separate sources and gave us reason to pause. Again, we largely ignored these claims due to lack of credible evidence.

Jowers came out with what struck us as an odd statement. According to bigcountryhomepage.com, “Jowers goes on to explain that even though he claimed otherwise during public forums for the Sheriff’s race, he is, “not a Navy SEAL, a Green Beret, or an Airborne Ranger.”

This would be similar to someone saying they were not an astronaut and at no time did they ever walk on the moon, or that they never played football for the Dallas Cowboys.

Why would someone make such statements unless they made those claims?

Jowers also made the following post to his Facebook page. We at Military Phony had not heard that Jowers’ military service was in question, just the type of service and his experiences.

What became apparent about this post was that OTHER THAN HONORABLE appears instead of a Reenlistment code. HONORABLE as a stand-alone designation does not appear there. Stated another way, this area should have a reenlistment code. The word HONORABLE should not appear here instead of a reenlistment code. The only other things that would appear here are DISHONORABLE or OTHER THAN HONORABLE CONDITIONS.

Jowers called one of our investigators and admitted he had been discharged under OTHER THAN HONORABLE CONDITIONS.

Many were skeptical and contacted Military Phony. Others were wanting what they characterized as fair and equal treatment of the candidates. However, Military Phony only investigates claims of Stolen Valor and has no vested interest in a local Sheriff’s election in the state of Texas.

Since a quick sweep showed that Jowers spent about 18 months in the Army, our interest peaked. He could have been wounded and been discharged early because 18 months is not a typical enlistment.

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY

LENGTH OF SERVICE

There is a shortened length of service from what is expected for a normal enlistment.

Based on the entries common surrounding this, it appears that Jowers went AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave) in March of 1989.

The military generally classifies unauthorized absence in excess of 30 days as a desertion. This is also documented by the “DMR” annotated in his records.

He was “DFR” (Dropped From Rolls) at one month in April 1989 when usually the soldier is declared a Deserter.

In July of 1989, Jowers had an entry of “RMC” which is “Return to Military Control.”

He was then sent to Fort Sill, OK Personal Control Facility (PCF) while awaiting probably a Court Martial. PCF is NOT REALLY a Stockade or Prison. It is a Facility to house Trouble Soldiers who needed to be Retrained or Soldiers who are awaiting Court Martial Procedures.

It made sense he was sent to Fort Sill PCF since he was FA.

The Personnel Clerk recorded an incorrect date by putting his Discharge as “870822” instead of “890822”.

His unit was in Germany and he appeared to go on leave and did not return to Germany. He turned himself in to Fort Sill. He was then discharged under “OTHER THAN HONORABLE CONDITIONS” for desertion.

RANK

He left the Army as a Private (E-1) which is probably due to the trouble just before discharge. This is in contrast to Staff Sergeant / SSG (E-6) that he claimed in the debate video above.

ASSIGNMENTS

Jowers does not show assignments indicative of being a Ranger.

MEDALS

There was no Purple Heart listed in his records. There were no medals listed that would indicate combat.

When Jowers claimed that he “took a bullet for his country” a military member or veteran would see this is a direct claim of being combat wounded and one would expect to see a Purple Heart in his military records.

TRAINING

There is nothing in Jowers’ records reflect RANGER or Airborne training.

We don’t see any Ranger School Training or Airborne Training on his Summary Records.

MILITARY DISCHARGE AND WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

There is a Texas State policy that says that one cannot work in Law Enforcement if their military discharge was DISHONORABLE or OTHER THAN HONORABLE. This can be found here:

http://tcole.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/le_careers_lic_requir_11.pdf

So how was Jowers allowed to gain employment in Law Enforcement in the state of Texas?

Did the Sheriff’s Department know about his OTHER THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE when he was hired? Or did Jowers submit other information?

This would have happened years ago but it appears there was an amendment last year.

People can have their military discharges upgraded from a lower status. Jowers claims that he has worked in law enforcement for two decades, so he would have had to done it before securing employment.

STATEMENTS TO THE MEDIA

Jowers put out the following statement:

“I have something that I would like to say to the citizens of Callahan County, I deeply and wholeheartedly apologize for misleading you about my military service. I do have discrepancies on my DD 214 from 30 years ago and I’m currently working on correcting those. The problem was this, I had a couple of tragic accidents that happened in my family that caused me to be released from the military a year early. I received an “Other Than Honorable Conditions”. I feel that that is no one‘s business but mine and my family’s. I’m not a Navy SEAL, a Green Beret, or an Airborne Ranger.

I sincerely and completely apologize for saying that at the forums. I was upset and angry at a certain person, and let my emotions get the best of me. If I have offended any military or citizen I do apologize. I love my country, I love my military, and I love Callahan County.

I am not and have not attempted to use my military service to sway citizens to vote for me. My military service is NOT a part of my platform as I have said many time.

I feel that this is an extremely ugly race and I know that people are tired of seeing ugly things on Facebook. I pray that this will soon be over and we can all get back to our normal lives. I am not perfect and I have made many mistakes and I’ve learned from all of them. Thank you and God bless.”

Although Jowers came out and seemingly played down his prior claims saying that he was not running on his military record, he still made the comments about being an Airborne Ranger and “taking a bullet for his country.”

There was some value gained from such statements. One cannot deny that. Maybe some people didn’t care, but others do.

Although it is hard to measure with each individual voter, it could be valued in terms of influence.

. . . . .

STOLEN VALOR

It sounds like Rick Jowers had some tragic mitigating family circumstances that contributed to his OTHER THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE. However, he had a very long time to have those records corrected. Instead, it appears that he chose to embellish upon the lies he was already living.

If the claims by Ricky Jowers were used to leverage work, military or civilian promotions, or anything else of value, he may have been in violation of Stolen Valor laws. State laws may also apply.

Rumor has it the Texas Rangers intend to involuntarily recall Cordell Walker from retirement to lead his agency’s investigation into Foley, Jowers, et al.

Jowers may try to make a run for it, and Ranger Walker will have to conduct some Norris-Fu on this sorry deserter’s ass…

Karma IS a Bitch. She has GPS and She WILL find you, it just may take a while. Has they ever been a more epic shit show from a TAH file than this? NOW is the time to jump into the Callahan County sheriff’s race. Hell, just go down there as a lowly, lowly cook.

“I may have been only a cook…but at least im HONEST.”

Combat Historian

It was mentioned from an earlier thread that the filing deadline for this race was back in December 2019, so the good folks of Callahan County are truly stuck between a Rock and a Hardplace…

Daisy Cutter

It seems like they could have a special election or have a judge open it up again due to the circumstances.

By “circumstances” I mean lying and debauchery – not to put too fine a point on it.

SFC D

I’m not sure how it works in Callahan County, but a few years back, Cochise County AZ had to replace their candidate for sheriff well past the filing deadline, due to his very sudden and very unfortunate death. County election regs specified that the replacement candidate was to be selected by the local republican party committee. The local dems bitched about this, but the truth is that it would have been exactly the same thing if a dem candidate would have had to be replaced. Callahan county may have a similar procedure in place.

Don’t mess with cooks.

Especially on nuclear subs.

Richard/Ricky/Rick Wayne Jowers whatever you call yourself, you have reached a low not often seen in the Halls of asshattery Stolen Valor Dip Sh^ts. Despicable AND Repugnant. You are even lower than old Festering Lying Lester Brown (stain) of the Elko POW/MIA Awareness Ass(ociation). Lying Les “just lied and embellished.” You effing DESERTED you POS. And then you stood upon the bodies and in the blood of proud Patriots who gave their all for this Country. And you used your lies to further your career and standings in the Community. I do hope that you are shunned and run out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered with chicken feathers to symbolically show what chicken sh^t you were. You weren’t even being shot at and you deserted your post. Barely a year of continuous duty and ran home crying. NO family emergency is so great that would cause someone to desert. All you had to do was go to your chain of command, and some arrangements would have been made. Missing Mama’s Sugar Teat? Jody banging your girl and doing it right.

Here’s hoping the State of Texas does the right thing and prosecutes you to the fullest extent of the law. And when they get done with your lying ass the Feds gives your chicken sh^t sissy punk ass to Bubba and the Boys at the BTJ&T Deli and Cell Block C of the Gray Bar Hotel.

You are disgusting and have smeared the Artillery Branch worse than anyone. We are just grateful that your sorry ass was thrown out of our Army before you did any more damage. ESAD MOFO!

The Stranger

As the Pappy of the Artillery, the “Defenders of the Keep” hereby also disown this worthless loser. Fortunately for him, the Brotherhood of the NDSM was not also tarred with his loser-dom, however, the Brotherhood is not amused since he did steal honor from members of our order. Fuck this guy.

I think he prefers to go by the name “Dick” now, 5/77. Rumor is, when he takes Viagra he just becomes a little taller.

5th/77th FA

Damn Bim, I didn’t know that Viagra would have any effect on a pussy. I learn something new everyday here. Is he a trans Dick? Does he identify as a Dick now since he was such a pussy back when he deserted? Thanks for the heads up. Richard/Ricky/Rick/Dick Wayne Jowers the lying, chicken sh^t deserter pussy will be hearing a similar statement from the BTJ&T Deli owners and Cell Block C; ie…Thanks for the head.

A Proud Infidel®™

If the State of Texas DOES put him in the Greybar Hilton they’ll likely have to keep him in PC, Protective Custody, known as “Punk Central” to the General Population. In PC inmates are one to a cell with one hour a day for exercise in a pen and live completely segregated from others. Kiddie Pervs are one genre that ends up in PC, ditto with Ex-LEO’s that went dirty, either way his life will be complete and total hell. I heard earlier that the Texas Rangers were also looking into both of those SV assclowns so it’s only going to get more interesting!

“…I had a couple of tragic accidents that happened in my family that caused me to be released from the military a year early.” Thirty years later and Jowls still can’t admit he’s a DESERTER.

At least this POS didn’t earn the highly coveted, rarely awarded NDSM. Our brotherhood takes some small comfort in knowing Jowls is not counted among our elite, patriotic defenders.

STANDBY for TRUE NO SHIT STORY

One of the guys in my unit Tom retired at 60 some years ago. We still keep in touch on social media. i think he’s one of the few guys in my unit that was a 3 time award winner. THAT’S FUCKING SOMETHING!!

The only thing more impressive was a friend of mine when, in the 1990s, had a Blues showdown at Christmas Reserve Weekend showed up wearing this…

At first we were all like “Oh Ray, you were statined in Korea, and he was all like, No Fucker, i was in the Korean War…..(mic drop)

W.T. F?!??!!?

He went in the Marines in the 1950s and made NCO, then he went Army Reserve and then went active Air Force and when I met him in 1988 when we both went TDY to Dover AFB (he was my old crotchety roommate), he was Reserve. He retired at 60 up in Ohio, and passed in 2013 so, yeah, he had three too.
He was a smart ass but as mild mannered as they came.

rgr1480

Cool … it has two crossed-penises … who was it upthread talking about “dick slapping”???

Dennis - not chevy

I think it was about ’83, a really old SMSgt sat across the table from me. I only remember three things about him. 1. He looked real old. 2. He took his teeth out to eat. 3. He had a Berlin Airlift Device on him Occupation Medal.
I figured he was about the oldest Sergeant on active duty there was, until I got to my next base. My boss’s boss was a CMSgt who had been drafted in WWII. He joined the ANG after the war but got Federalized so many times he said the heck with it. He stayed on active duty the last time until he was retired at 60 years old.

SFC D

“released” doesn’t exactly equate to “kicked the fuck out”.

Frankie Cee

The Callahan County Sheriff has locked down the Facebook page, not allowing comments, or possibly, just blocked me from comments?

marinedad61

Both. CCSO has been deleting comments and blocking commenters since Foley broke.

Difference is,
they were correct in deleting Foley comments,
since Foley has nothing to do (presently) with CCSO.

Now, it’s about Jowers, an employee,
and there is LAW against LE deleting citizen comments about their agencies.

CCSO is in deep shit for deleting the Jowers comments.
Several are screenshot and posted in the CC rant groups.

Frankie Cee

Halfwit media person: We will just block or delete comments we don’t like!

Attorney: you know that is probably unlawful?

Sheriff: Maybe, but my boi Jowers has the butthurt and we need to stop it.

Attorney: it’s your butt on the line.

Sheriff: mmmmmmm…butt….

I wonder if deleting comments on their Facebook page is a violation of the state’s public records retention laws?

I also wonder if Jowers runs the Callahan County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page? My guess is that he does.

marinedad61

Yes.
Someone from Clyde commented with the exact law.
CCSO deleted that comment, too.
Someone else saved the screenshot, before it was deleted.

IMHO, Jowers does not run the Facebook page,
(He’s too distraught right now)
it’s one of his friends and allies, who is (poorly)
trying to cover Jowers’ ass.

Good points all there SGM Ret-25X. I did me a google foo on The Chicken Sh^t Mama’s Boi Lying Deserting POS Richard/Ricky/Rick Wayne Jowers’ unit that he served in. You have more reason to be pissed as any of us, being at Ayers when this dirtbag was. Can understand that a Troop of your caliber didn’t know this piece of sh^t, even tho that was a small place. I am purely disgusted even more since I have read the proud history of this unit, it’s lineage going all the way back to the War of 1812, with outstanding service in the 1812, Seminole, Mexican, WBTS, Cuba, and WWII. (Unit was deployed for WWI but hostilities ended before they got their guns. The Chicken Shatted Deserter Richard/Ricky/Rick Wayne Jowers deserted before the wall fell, and had already been thrown out for DESERTION when Desert Shield/Storm broke out. They fired 1455 rounds in support of that action. The Bitch Boi Richard/Ricky/Rick Wayne Jowers even had a cool unit patch to wear. Phuque Heem.

Dahell is ChipNASA with the requested TOT HoI? And since I haven’t seen this descriptive adjective used to describe the POS DESERTER Richard/Ricky/Rick Wayne Jowers yet, I’ll just leave this here.

2/3 may have been the finest FA Battalion in the Army back then.

It is still active as part of the 1st BDE 1AD out at Fort Bliss.

1/1AD traces its lineage back to 1/3AD and still calls itself “Ready First”

Sadly, all of the other units have been renamed so the 32nd and 33rd AR regiments are no longer active although 1/36INF is active.

My lower back is pinchy as is my pelvic and hip joint and then the tendons are burny. It’s just weird shit but I’m extremely thankful it’s only my ankle/shin area.
I’m going back to revisit with the Med Director and the Nurse Practitioner for review.
My sainted mother said that they have a newer vaccine which is not live virus for shingles. i told her after this is over, I’d gladly take 15 shots directly in the ass to avoid having shingles ever again.
It feels like I’ve had sunburn and very localized flu symptoms in my body for about a month.
That being said, glad it wasn’t on my head/face around the eyes, or the waist or chest/breasts as some woman have and glad it hasn’t lasted like 3 months as some folks have told me, it can with others.

Well, well, well. Leroy Foley and Rick Jowers, military posers and both in Texas law enforcement. A real “Texas Twosome.” I suspect all of the “Hero” praise from the media and public being heaped onto both the military and law enforcement over the past few years, was too much for these idiots to ignore and wanted “double hero” status. Well, that didn’t work out for them. They ended up with double phony status. Callahan County looks like the kind of place where everyone knows everyone. Both of these phonies will have to explain to their families, friends and neighbors why they lied to them. In the future, every word that comes out of these disgraced law officer’s mouths will now be evaluated for truthfulness, as it should be. If these clowns were willing to make up fantastic lies about military service, lying about other things is easy, and I am sure, frequent for these guys. I would have to question the honesty of their law enforcement work. I would also question the integrity of any law enforcement agency that would employ them now that these liars have been exposed. I will give some credit to Leroy Foley. Once his lies were caught, Leroy Foley did the right thing and resigned. He only needs to withdraw from the sheriff’s race. I suspect that Rick Jowers will not do the honorable thing by resigning his position with the Callahan County Sheriff’s Department but will continue to obfuscate the facts. His twisted strategy must be, “If they believed my bullshit once, they will believe it again.” I have three pieces of advice for Ricky Jowers: 1. Resign today. People will appreciate your decision as it will eliminate all of the future public controversy about the sheriff’s department employing a liar. Do not seek law enforcement work in the future. 2. Withdraw from the Sheriff’s race. I doubt if anyone other than people financially dependent on you want you to become the county sheriff. I am sure the Governor can appoint a Sheriff until one can be elected. 3. Get rid of that stupid… Read more »

Daisy Cutter

I think that Foley resigning was the right thing, but I would not attach anything noble to it. He was probably faced with eventually being found out and was presented with the huge distraction it would cause.

Foley doubled-down and as far as I know still maintains that the bogus DD-214 is factual. Therefore, he did not resign because he felt he was wrong, he most likely resigned because he realizes he will eventually be found out.

There was no confession or apology from Foley.

There is nothing noble about Foley. He has zero integrity and morals and has for a long long time (think about Sr year of high school long time).

The “Callahan County Crash” could have bodies laying all over the place. The wreckage itself will be hard to scrape up.

Terry Sheehan

The way I see it, here is the slight difference between Foley and Jowers:

FOLEY – Most likely forged a DD-214, then used it to get employment as an LEO, then points to it as proof of his claims.

JOWERS – Most likely did nothing with his DD-214, avoided using it to get employment as an LEO, then keeps it out of site when he makes his claims.

I could be wrong, but this is my educated guess. Both are most likely guilty of Stolen Valor.

OWB

The difference may only be in the degree of “altering.” Foley obviously submitted a completely forged document. Jowers used one that had something blanked out, either accidently or by design. A well placed piece of paper covering some of the reenlistment eligibility block? White out? Careful placement on the copier glass so that some of doc wasn’t copied? However it got that way, it was HIS responsibility to submit a correct and complete copy.

marinedad61

Those 2 snippets of DD-214 was amateur redacting and deception, by Rick Jowers, for the internet, since he knew whatever DD-214 he put out there, would be scrutinized.
(He saw the Foley story unfold.)
He was working on putting out his whole DD-214, lightly redacted, as of Monday evening, but he was too slow, and now, too late.

Unlike Leroy Foley, who had no fear of scrutiny,
and pushed his long time Fake DD-214,
and even brandished it to TV,
the same TV that soon after filmed his perp walk.

these d-bags used to go AWOL from Germany and leave everything in the barracks…

the squad leader usually had to inventory everything so we started doing this BEFORE they went on leave.

Soldiers always appreciated these guys after a long exercise because the TA-50 that disappeared when they went AWOL was used to make up damage/lost field gear.

Not that I know anything about that…LOL

Claw

Did some quickie Google-Fu research. Back in 1989 the base pay for a Buck Private under two years was $699.00 per month. At 40 days pay coming to him at final discharge, he would have been up to a total of $932.00

IIRC, the cost of a complete set of TA-50 from that time period ran about $1,040.00.

So Jowers may have caught the last bus home still owing $102.00 to the little old ladies in tennis shoes at the IRS an unpaid debt to the government./smile

FOR THOSE NOT UP TO SPEED ON HOW TO READ THE ACRONYM FILLED RECORDS OF JOWERS’ ASSIGNMENTS REPRODUCED ABOVE: (Start with March 10, 1989 as dates are rendered YEAR, MONTH, DAY). DATE STATUS EXPLANATION 890310 {XXXXXXXXX} Redacted to cover the entry “AWOL” (Absent Without Leave) 890401 DFR When he did not return in 30 days, he was administratively classified as a Deserter (a soldier who quits his unit with the intent never to return). As a result, he was D[ropped] F[rom] the R[olls], that is, he was struck from the unit roster, freeing up his position/ billet to be replaced with another — and hopefully better — soldier. 890712 RMC After being on the run for 3 1/2 months, he R[eturned] to M[ilitary] C[ontrol]. This could have been everything from walking into a military facility — even a recruiting office — and surrendering; or it could be an arrest by the FBI, Military Police, or civilian law enforcement, perhaps even an arrest by a Texas Deputy Sheriff. Wouldn’t that be ironic? He was then at Fort Hood, TX. 890713 RETURNEE He was sent to Fort Sill, OK in the status of a “returnee.” Since at this point he had been Dropped From the Rolls of his former unit, and he was an artillery soldier, he was returned to the Personnel Control/Confinement Facility at the Headquarters Command, United States Army Field Artillery Center and School, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. [PCF, HQ CMD, USAFAC&S, Ft Sill, OK]. At this point, if he had a valid excuse for his 3 1/2 months on the run, he would make his excuses to his PCF Commander and his Judge Advocate General (JAG) Attorney from the Trial Defense Service. Even at this late point, if he was a young, dumb, first enlistment low ranking soldier, he MAY have been able to accept some punishment, but then be reinserted into the personnel pipeline to return to another artillery unit.

Two additional bits of information since there is sometimes confusion about “desertion” and being a “deserter.”

“Desertion” is leaving your unit with the intent never to return. Some think that a service member must be absent for over 30 days to be considered a “deserter.” WRONG.

Don’t confuse the crime of “desertion” (or “UCMJ Desertion” under Article 85) with administrative “desertion.”

If PFC Joe Tentpeg cleans out his locker, burns his uniforms, tears up his ID card, and heads for the airport with a one-way ticket to a home far away, he is a “deserter.” He could be apprehended at the airport 30 minutes after leaving Camp Swampy and brought back immediately, but he’s still a deserter and he is subject to court-martial.

If PFC Joe Tentpeg departs Camp Swampy in uniform, with his ID card, and a round-trip ticket, always with the intent to return, he might overstay his leave by 30-60-90 days, but when he is apprehended he might successfully defeat a charge of desertion by showing that mom was sick and he had to take care of three minor siblings, then he was in a car wreck, then he was kidnapped and held for ransom, but always and everywhere he intended to return … he could be found not guilty of USMC desertion at a court-martial.

But the unit isn’t going to wait forever — with an empty bed and a gap in the front line — to see if Tentpeg has a good excuse for being gone. After 30 days of unauthorized absence, the unit commander can declare Tentpeg an administrative “deserter” and drop him from the rolls. That frees up the position/billet so the unit can requisition a replacement soldier to get back to full strength.

During my liver-destroying tenure as a rear-d 1SG, I had a handful of chronic AWOL’ers. The rear-d commander and I found a quick and easy way to cure that. We’d change their status to “deserter” after 24 hours, and stop their pay. Fixed that problem quick.

Started off as a pretty good gig. But some brigade level geniuses got bonked by the good idea fairy. My rear-d kept gaining troopies from 2 battalions. 1 was moving to Bliss following deployment, do I got all their new folks. I got all the new folks from the unit I was in. Plus, we’d deactivated a large company, but Big Army was still sending me people to fill it. So. Rear D grew from about 25 troops to over 250. No equipment. Nothing to train on. And a bitch MAJ from BDE that needed a stake through her little black heart. Damn little to keep people busy. Not exactly a recipe for success!

During DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM, my older sister, myself, my younger sister and her husband were all on Active Duty. My older sister a nurse deployed with an Air Transportable Hospital in August. In late September my mother was hospitalized, diagnosed with terminal cancer and died all within about two weeks. We all got Emergency leave and they shipped my older sister home before my mom died and then she returned to her unit after the funeral.

My brother-in-law deployed between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The three of us still stateside had Thanksgiving dinner at his units chow hall at Ft Benning. He was a MSC officer.
He pinned on Captain at an intersection on the highway of death.

I deployed in January off the staff as an augmentee to CENTAF and managed to get in 7-8 flights during the Storm.

There is no doubt in my mind that my younger sister had the hardest, lousiest job of all of us. She was the rear Det commander for her battalion (also MSC officer) I spoke with her regularly right up until I deployed and listened to the stories of having to deal with the sick, lame, and lazy as well as the AWOLS and ne’er do wells. She got stuck with.

Any easy metric using the “new stereo rule” (remember, this was the 80s):

If the stereo disappeared before they left, they were deserters.

If they left the stereo in the barracks, they were Santa Claus.

One of these clowns showed back up like two years later and wanted to know what happened to his TV, stereo, etc. 1SG just looked at him like he had lost his mind.

The barracks was a pretty tight knit place and the troops usually knew about an AWOL before the NCOs…by the time we showed up to clean up the mess there was a bunk with a bare mattress and empty wall locker left. Usually, even the boots were gone.

WRT Jowers wearing a badge, I note that the excerpt above that lists the qualifications for being an LEO in Texas (and prohibiting someone with an OTH) is from 2011.

In order to know whether Jowers concealed or omitted disqualifying information, we would have to know two pieces of information, first, when did Jowers first apply to be an LEO (I think he’s claiming “20 years” of law enforcement service and second, what were the requirements WRT military discharges at THAT TIME.

I think the civilian world has evolved regarding discharges. I recall from some very old job applications that it only asked if I’d received a dishonorable discharge. If Jowers entered law enforcement when only a “dishonorable” was a disqualifying factor, he might have squeaked in because technically, “other than honorable” is a step above “dishonorable.”

Once he was in, likely he would not have been able to be held to the higher standard, at least not without some due process (that’s because legally, a government job is usually considered a property right, that cannot be taken without due process of law.)

There was also the incident with the ex-Airman who shot up the church in Texas a few years ago who, I think, had gotten either a general-under-other-than-honorable or even a BCD, but because it wasn’t a “dishonorable” discharge, it didn’t show up on his background check to buy the gun. That caused the military to start “reporting” certain discharges that had not been considered “reportable” before then.

Bottom line is that there is not enough information to know whether Jowers obtained his LEO position fraudulently. As I said above, citing the law from 2011 is irrelevant if Jowers entered law enforcement before that time.

OWB

Heard a rumor that the OTH has been a requirement for many years in TX, but I have not substantiated that. Your points are well taken – yes, whether he violated the rule in force at the time is entirely germane. Got a feeling that he is in big trouble in that regard.

It might also be interesting to discover if the intent of that rule might cover discharges which occur after initial certification, for reservists. If not, perhaps it should.

A Proud Infidel®™

IIRC, Military Discharges were ranked:

Honorable
General
OTH
Bad Conduct
Dishonorable

And usually OTH Discharges were doled out to get rid of the dregs with Big Chicken Dinners coming from Courts Martial.

Martinjmpr

Maybe Charles can chime in (or someone with S1 experience) but aren’t there “General Under Honorable Conditions” and “General Under Other Than Honorable Conditions” discharges?

I seem to recall that those who were put out for homosexuality were usually given “general under honorable conditions.” Ditto for those who were discharged for fraudulent enlistment. And I think “discharged for the convenience of the service” was also under this category, hardships for example.

I always thought that “General Under Other than Honorable Conditions” was a sort of code for “discharged in lieu of court martial” or those who were discharged because they were arrested and imprisoned for activities outside of the military, etc.

Have I got that right?

Charles

There is no “General Under Other Than Honorable” discharge.

Under Army Regulation 635-200, there are three administrative discharges that will include a characterization of service:

1 – Honorable.
2 – General (under honorable conditions). 3 – Under Other Than Honorable Conditions.

There are two types of punitive discharges (punitive = punishment = sentence following conviction by court-martial):

1 – Bad Conduct Discharge.
2 – Dishonorable Discharge.

And there is one type of discharge that is classified as “uncharacterized.” It is given to entry level personnel with less than 181 days of active duty (when VA benefits have not vested) and is usually and descriptively referred to as the “Trainee Discharge Program” or the “Expeditious Discharge Program.”

The “Other Than Honorable” discharge is the administrative equivalent of the “Bad Conduct Discharge” that may be a sentence following conviction at court-martial. Both deprive the soldier of virtually all of the benefits administered by the VA and the Army establishment.

The now-extinct separation under Chapter 15 AR 635-200 for homosexuality could carry either an “Honorable” discharge” or a “General (under honorable conditions)” discharge. That is to say, if the only reason a soldier was being involuntarily separated was homosexuality, he or she would receive either all or nearly all VA benefits.

An “Other Than Honorable” discharge COULD be the result of a Chapter 10 “Discharge in lieu of Court-Martial” but it could also result from a Chapter 14 separation for Misconduct. Misconduct = a single serious act of misconduct (one rape, one murder) or a pattern of minor misconduct (curse out an NCO, start a fight in the mess hall, be late for formation several times).

Each “Chapter” is literally a chapter in the Army Regulation that describes how a soldier should be handled when he/she is discharged. While most soldiers would be insulted if you ask: “Were you Chaptered out of the Army?” the reality is that the only way to leave the Army other than a Chapter is to die on active duty.

Retiring after 20 years of service? You’ve been chaptered out under Chapter 12.
And so it goes …

Martinjmpr

Charles: Thanks for the clarification.

Now, the sticky wicket here is how does the CIVILIAN world classify these types of discharges for purposes of things like employment, ability to own firearms, etc?

I remember being told that a “Dishonorable discharge”, that is, the lowest on the pecking order, is equivalent to a Federal Felony conviction and is reported as such to NCIC and shows up as such on an NCIC or NAC.

HOWEVER, it is not clear to me how anything ABOVE a Dishonorable discharge and below a “General under honorable conditions” is characterized for those purposes.

I assume that that is something that has varied over time and varies by state. I know some job applications require you to report a “dishonorable” discharge.

The word “dishonorable” is a specific term with a specific meaning. IOW, someone filling out a job application who was discharged from the military under “other than honorable conditions” or even on a “bad conduct discharge” could arguably state that he was NOT “dishonorably” discharged.

On the other hand, if the application in question asked “have you been discharged from the armed forces under other than honorable conditions?” (as I think they generally do TODAY), then anything below a “general under honorable conditions” would have to be reported.

These may seem like nit-picky things but they can have important consequences.

Green Thumb

Substandard Discharge = Shitbag.

PTBH

Not enough to definitively say, sure. But enough doubt and pointers as to what needs looked at.

Sort of like Foley. We don’t know if Foley registered that forged DD-214 with Williamson County, and we cannot find out due to privacy laws with that type of information. However, someone doing an investigation in an official capacity will have access to find that out.

Same with Jowers, not enough info to conclude, but someone following up can find out when and where he applied for LEO positions and what paperwork he submitted, along with what Texas policy was at that time.

Claw

Good to see a check-in from you, its been a while.

Steve Balm

Jowers’ Facebook profile said that they were married in 2018, so I’m wondering if she knew about his military history.

If she did, then she had to have known that he was lying when he was saying he was an Airborne Ranger on the campaign trail. If not, then she first heard about it Monday when he released his “statement” saying there is nothing to see here.

The only reason I bring this up is it has to be uncomfortable at the dispatch desk since she works there AND at the dinner table in the evening.

It seems to me that Jowers AND the CCSO need to come out with a statement about all of this. I don’t see how they can defend not doing an “internal review.” How can they so quickly determine there is nothing to see here unless this has all been discussed between them on an earlier occasion. If that is true, they owe the public an explanation of their reasoning to not do a review. Either way, this involves a statement.

*** ATTENTION CALLAHAN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE – STATEMENT PLEASE! ***

Ricky Jowers may be working on it at this very moment….

Rick Jowers WILL drop out of the Sheriff’s race and Rick Jowers WILL resign his position.

He is trying to hold on but he just hasn’t thought through it all yet. It is difficult and he can’t bring himself to do it.

He is bringing both his Sheriff and his colleagues down. They are unknowingly and unfairly being enlisted in buffering him from all of this scrutiny and in the end, it is not a defensible position.

If he holds on too long, someone will lift that decision from his fingers.

Truth is like a good form of poison. Inject it, give it time and it will work its magic every time.

sbalm

I should say, to people like Les Brown and Rick Jowers — you may think you can ride it out. Much like a bull rider. You get bucked around a little but hang on and it will soon be over.

Well, the truth is your family and friends will pat you on the back and say they will support you to the end of time or other noble statements, but that flag has been planted. In the back of their head they KNOW you lied. They may never confront you about it and are first to talk bad about the people that do confront you, but which is better? — the person that tells you that your fly is unzipped or the person that looks the other way and doesn’t see it as their place to point it out or you’d think “Why are they looking ‘down there’ in the first place?”

Think about this Ricky Jowers … and Les Brown … you know it’s true.

You’re damaged goods and your lives will never be the same. The best you can possibly do is own up to it and repair and salvage the tiny bit of dignity you may have left.

You will never be asked to ride in the lead car of the parade representing veterans because there’s always a better choice than you.

Martinjmpr’s comment about about LEO disqualifications got me thinking about a couple of things.

If Ricky Jowers was found guilty by a court martial, is he considered a felon? I know a summary court martial doesn’t result in a felony record. I am unsure about a special court martial and a general court martial can result in a felony record.

Can Ricky Jowers legally possess a firearm? Felons can’t possess firearms unless they are granted clemency or have their right to own firearms restored by the proper authority.

Can felons run for state and local office in Texas? The Texas Attorney General says they can’t:

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/courts/2019/05/22/felons-can-t-run-for-office-just-because-they-can-vote-texas-attorney-general-says/

The Texas candidacy filing application law requires a signed statement that the candidate has not been finally convicted of a felony from which the candidate has not been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disabilities.

Just another bone to chew on folks.

I did a little googling the other day, and if there was a default judgement on that little child support bill he had, he’d be prohibited under Texas law.

I need to correct an earlier comment that I made on Jowers’ total elapsed time in service.

I originally calculated it as 1 year, 6 months and 19 days.

After seeing the Record of Assignments page and subtracting the 95 days of “bad/lost” time that occurred from 890408 – 890712, his actual good time in service is: 1 year, 3 months and 14 days.

February 27, 2020 POSTPONED (paste) American Legion Post 423 Cross Plains Texas ***ATTENTION ALL*** As many of you are aware we had invited both of the sheriff candidates to speak to the Legionaries as well as the community on the 27th of February. Since I announced that event, some things have come to light. There was dishonesty by both candidates regarding their military service. We as a Veteran Service Organization can not be a party to such shenanigans. We take these claims very seriously since it brings dishonor, and cheapens the accomplishments of our veterans who served with integrity, loyalty, and selflessness. As the Commander of this Post I take these accusations seriously, and over the weekend I spent quite some time making phone calls, writing emails, and researching these candidates to independently check out their stories. My findings were not near as complete as the sleuths on the websites mentioned on the local news, but I came to the same conclusions. Lies were told, and they had sullied their name. I wish each citizen and Legionnaire will move past this debacle, and begin the healing process to find the right person for the job. The appropriate law enforcement agencies will deal with the individuals, that is not our job as citizens. All of us need to respect each other, and now is the time to apologize if you were ugly to your neighbor. We must remain faithful to each other, and learn from this mess. Forgive so that we may heal. Post 423 will welcome any candidate from any party, running for any office, to bring the people into the process of government. Until we have a viable candidate for the sheriff’s office I am postponing the speaking engagement on the 27th. I can not have a candidate speak who so willingly brings disgrace to our proud veteran community. Any questions should be submitted through messenger.
