“BTW, and Ive been out of the Navy for awhile, I dont think thats a Navy uniform.”
Is that a Coast Guard uniform? I have seen Coast Guard people in similiar looking blue uniforms, but fat boy’s uniform might be black.

>The guys pretty chubby for a Seal<
He IS chubby for a “Seal”...not a S.E.A.L.
To: oldleft
The only uniforms I have ever seen SEALs wear is either BDUs, khakis, or Dress Uniform. To something like a school visit, I would expect khakis. To an awards ceremony, I’d expect Dress Uniform, regardless of venue.
To: forgotten man
Yeah I noticed it was black too. The CG and Navy coveralls are both legit blue. Dress “blues” are actually black.

The “stolen valor act” was NOT a violation of free speech (you leftist moron judges) any more than any other type of FRAUD would be.

This is the guy who was wearing a CIB with two subsequent awards - in other words, he would have had been under direct ground fire as an EM with an infantry or SF MOS or as an officer at the brigade level or lower as part of his regular duty for more than 30 days in WWII, Korea, and any other conflict since 1961.
Of the 23 million men who have served in the US Army since WWII, 303 have received this award.

"and some sort of badge" It's an MP Badge...
They were worn on the Class B uniform back in the 'white hat' MP days. Like the sleeve brassard, they were only worn by MPs on-duty as identification and were not considered a skills badge or personal decoration. They have subsequently been issued to MPI Investigators which, when presented with their credentials serve as ID when working in plain clothes. This guy is truly a buffoon.

Seeing BULLSHIT (please pardon the language) like that infuriates me almost to the point of incoherency. I am surprised this MF'r doesn't have a Pathfinder Q badge too. I have a CIB with a star and my “boomerang wings” (Air Assault) as well as Ranger (I have the tab but never served in a Ranger Batt) and Sapper tabs and I worked my ever loving ass off for then. I started Ranger school at 155 pounds and got my BLACK(!!!) beret weighing 129 pounds. Some of the people at Auschwitz looked better than I did. Some of the guys in my class lost even more in terms of % body weight. I almost could not wear my Class A's to graduation because they were falling off me. My last Guard unit was a Sapper unit and I went through Sapper School at age 47. I thought I was going to DIE, but I persevered. I am not an overly strong swimmer and that part almost did me in. I think the instructors took pity on me because I was the oldest person they could remember who ever went through the school.
People who never served but don the uniform and fill it with Q badges and tabs (and an MP Badge to boot) like this fool, are an utter slap in the face to those of us who served honorably and sacrificed a great deal in the defense of our country and our Constitution. Ooooh to have five minutes alone with this son of a bitch. I hope he has good dental records.

One more dead giveaway ~ Unless uniform regs have changed drastically, no one, and I mean NO ONE, in the USNavy wears a black under shirt. Black turtle neck, possibly with dungarees, but never a black undershirt.

I’ve got a good friend who is a decorated vet of OIF, however he also greatly exaggerates his service. For example he claims he was in Desert Storm - he wasn’t. He claims he went to SERE school - he didn’t. Very odd as he has no reason to make this stuff up. The things he actually did are hooah enough.
To: Joe 6-pack
K...thanks! I had an MI badge after completing 35E school and looks nothing like the MP badge. Got to see them all of 10 minutes until my active duty deployment. Hell, they shipped our BNCs to a SCIF in theater!

Interesting idea..that only active duty should wear uniforms..it has merit, but will never happen. Of course, I'd estimate that 95% of vets couldn't fit into their old uniforms after 10 years separation.
I was USMC from 68-72. When I got out, all mine went into several garment bags, with mucho mothballs, in the attic, where they stayed for years. In the late 80's my then two teenage daughters asked me if I could drive them to an Army-Navy store, because the kids in school were starting to wear military stuff...I guess it was a fashion statement. Living in the NYC suburbs, I think I was the only parent who had served in the military. So I told them..we don't have to go, there's several bags of my uniforms up in the attic. Girls had a ball...

Yeah, the 35E badge looks similar to the USACID badge...

Yeah, but ours were fatter, and darker, kind of copper or bronzish....said counter intelligence special agent.
