\"Robert<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Jeff sends us a link to the Chicago Tribune<\/a> story about Robert Kerkorian, the new police chief of Waukegan, IL who put on his 1987 application to join the police force that he was, what else, a Navy SEAL;<\/p>\n

But Chief Robert Kerkorian never trained as a SEAL, according to military records obtained by the Tribune. He was in the Navy for six months and never entered the rigorous training required of the special operations force, records show.<\/p>\n

Asked about his military career, Kerkorian repeatedly declined to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

“Anything that preceded my employment here as a police officer has no bearing on my 26 years as a law enforcement officer here,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, other than the fact that you’re big F’n liar, nuts which are numb. Don Shipley busted him, of course;<\/p>\n

By adding SEAL training to his application, the new chief essentially credited himself with undertaking “the toughest military training in the world,” said Don Shipley, a former SEAL who exposes military fakers online. People who misstate their service on applications, Shipley said, mislead employers and disrespect veterans’ sacrifices.<\/p>\n

“When you’re putting that crap on a job resume, you’re definitely trying to profit from it,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, the mayor doesn’t think it’s a big deal. <\/p>\n

Questioned about his new chief’s military record, Motley said he had not looked at Kerkorian’s personnel file and the two had never discussed his service. His military credentials are “not relevant to his employment as chief,” Motley said, describing himself as “very pro-Kerkorian.”<\/p>\n

“I think he’s doing an excellent job. He’s very well-respected,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, but can you believe anything that comes out of his crooked mouth?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
