In the above video's comment section, I was confronted by "romeomoon2", who claims 29 years of military service, yet when I asked for his MOS (mine is 19E), he did not do so, and in fact posted a FAKE mos "1369".
I was unsure who to contact, so I sent this to you. If this is not in your perview, plz forward to the appropriate department.
Thanks in advance,

I looked at some of the comments of "romeomoon" and if this dirtbag was in the military, I'll kiss your butt!!!
I asked my husband what his MOS was. He retired in 76 and he said that it wasn’t called that when he was in. He couldn’t remember his. Thought it was 3 hundred and something, but wasn’t sure.
so there is a Marine MOS 1369 [(Vietnam) The MOS for an unlucky c**ksucker. ] ??????? :)
B.G. Burkett (of “Stolen Valor”) reknown loves to unmask fakes. Track him down.
your thoughts?
looks like it to me.....I was in the Army, though. (91C30)
All of the far left needs to migrate to S.F. Then the few good people need to leave, cut off the peninsula and tow it out to sea.
The 1369 “MOS” was a gag we used... Had no basis in reality that I can recall.
Hard to forget ones MOS in the Army.Mine was special GFU or at least thats what my platoon sergeant always told me.
Never heard of that MOS, but officers had four digit MOSs. The two I still remember were 1203 [tank officer], and 1542 [infantry officer]. I had a third for recruiting officer, but I can’t recall it.
CPT ARMOR
MACV, Class of ‘71
Mine was 231X1 when I started out.. but by the time I retired it was 3V0X1.
Graphics Specialist when I started.. but then renamed to Multimedia Production Craftsman - Graphics when I ended.
Yeah I was told about 94 or after they changed all the AFSC’s.......Mine was 46490 when I retired. EOD.
At least your AFSC still exists..
Mine was eliminated a month after I retired...
I know you said graphics but what are some examples of work you did ?
I designed over 92 different squadron emblems. The last one I did was to recreate the 37th Bomb Wing Expeditionary Emblem, but that was a unofficial logo. Fifty or Sixty different artwork sets for coins for Commanders, Units, Operations.
I lost count on how many briefing slides I made before Power Point canceled me doing that.. But I did do some fairly decent power point briefings for big events too. Right after the 9/11 attacks.. It was against the rules but I made some custom maps of the SouthWest Asia region for planners at Hill AFB and their Deployment Control center.
Brochures masters, Program Masters, Posters, Temporary Signs, Retirement Certificates sets. For awhile I made allot of artwork for computer based training programs for the B-52, KC-135/KC-10, A-10, F-16, F-15, MH-60, C-17, C-130, C-5, C-9 aircraft, and video shows for all kinds of subjects. It all depended on the customer.
At the last base I was at.. I control the base cable channel and made the slides for it.
But the powers to be decided that Graphics was a waste of resources and everything else could be done by contract or by themselves (I have heard some horror stories on how some of that is turning out though).
It was a fun career field to work in.. Working with the Photographers and videographers who got folded into the Public Affairs career field.
Wow..... yeah when I had to do dog and pony shows etc I used power point. It was new back then and was a basic tool for projects and such. Little better than the old overhead projector.
I did too much time on range clearances at Eagle Range etc ....TDY living at the range complex or at the State Line Casino in Wendover. Hill had a great NCO Club yet I saw little of it due the location of our work.
Is that real old bar / diner in Huntsville still up there ? Can’t remember the name yet it had sawdust floors.
