Pork rinds. We sell em in big bags in the pub and call them pork scratchings.

For some bizarre reason ..

Is he like one of those cop strippers? If so I must say bravo! If not well familys been in the corps for generations so a nice lil one finger salute.

If you didn't earn it don't wear it. There is a Ranger site out there that has some amusing stories about known fakers. There are also some amusing stories about seals running into wannabe seals who claim they are legit...then don't even know what BUD/s is lol

No marksmanship badges or ribbons, belt undressed with that long flappy (uncut) tail showing, NCO stripe on his trousers non NCO rank on his sleeves, those very unshined sketchers, untailored paints, and white gloves.
There are two people in this picture one of them is a marine and the other one is lucky to still be capable of walking.

I was going to say those shoes would have made my Dad puke, and then hurt him. Badly.

Is this another English term? We call "Snoop Doggy Dogg" just "Snoop Dogg" in the States.

The other guy, who is doing a fantastic job of not killing him is apparently a gunny and a current or former DI.

Do we know with certainty this guy is faking it for attention and not going to a costume party or some other odd possibility?

Can't you get in serious trouble for impersonating military personal?

No. he's still going to get the provolone beatdown if he's wearing dress blues regardless.

I know for cops as long as you are not claiming to be a officer you cant. And I assume it is the same for military personal.

Ah, I see. You just let them make the assumption. That's sooo un-cool.

The word is "personnel."

Please continue.

Ha, thanks Monster...it's been a loooong day at work so far.

You get military personals as well.. you know.. them mucky websites where birds want to find perfect strangers in uniform to come and drill them in the back of their car while ten of their mates watch?

.....

That only happened to me then eh?

What is a pork scratching?

Well, when a pig has an itch in a very uncomfortable place, then the farmer has to reach around and scratch...

I think we just figured out why that lad has been playing dressup!

And 10 other people's, apparently!

I don't know about the car thing...but the rest
/have done.

Not even a good fake. That uniform is fethed up like a football bat, and I'm in the National Guard so you know it's bad.

That reminds me Matty, one of my favorite things is that I have some military buds and every once and awhile they have a girl that cheats on them while they're away on deployment as well as nudey photos of them. Needless to say I think its a nice ritual of what happens afterwards.

I believe the title of those texts/emails is: "Make this bitch famous" It is an epic tradition.

Look at this imposter:

Auston, did you take that pic? If so, he wouldn't happen to have a JROTC badge on the other arm, would he?

The guy looks like he got some kind of half assed Halloween costume accented by shoes polished with a Heshey bar.

No, and I'm guessing no again. I got it from a veterans group I belong to as a chain email the whole thing looked like this:

Another poser!

GySgt Ableman was keen enough to spot this douche-bag walking through the
Reno Airport in full dress blues with gloves and cover on. He stopped him
near the baggage claim and running into three Drill Instructors wasn't
something this guy had anticipated. If any of you know Gy Ableman, this kid
was lucky to leave with all his teeth intact.

From the get go, it was obvious this kid was not a Marine. He claimed to be
a PFC (wearing LCpl chevrons) and could not explain what a PFC chevron
looked like and then couldn't explain the NCO stripe on his trousers. He had
a collar emblem in the middle of his barracks cover and his belt was
sticking out. No ribbons or badges, his trousers were way too long, not to
mention he had on Sketcher boots instead of dress shoes and a civilian belt.
We found this out after we demanded that he take off the blouse and cover.


Turns out he bought the uniform from a surplus store and his dad is a
retired Navy Chief. Reno is a super-pro military area and this guy was
soaking in the atta-boys. Lot of posers out there, watch out!

Know any recruiters in the San Diego and Reno areas, send them a warning to
watch out for this turd.




I've looked around the interwebz and apparently its pretty old.

Mmmm... Hershey bars.

Thanks for the story, Auston. Yeah, kid's a douche.

I only asked cause he looks similar to how a lot of the new kids did the first time they had to wear their uniforms in our high school Marine Corps JROTC since they hadn't gotten to know their units yet so no one had taken the time to show them how to do it properly yet.

Wasn't as much a problem for us band members since we had gotten to know each other over the summer at regular band camp(a pre-req for being in the JROTC band was being in the regular band, too).
