08/2006 12/2007 |
Salt Lake City, Utah | Larry was an academic advisor in
1986, at the Hospital Corpsman Training School, in Great Lakes Illinois.
He was known to all at that time as a decorated NAVY SEAL, and claimed among
other things, to be a recipient of one of the nations highest awards, the
NAVY CROSS. In 86, he walked around the halls of the training facility
as though he owned them. He demanded respect, and took command of
every classroom, or in any social atmosphere by wearing his khaki Navy
Officer uniform, with pride. He was on the Mike Douglas show, talking
about his exploits in Vietnam, as a war hero. Amongst several of his
claims, he claimed to be the only surviving member of SEAL TEAM 13, which
apparently he walked in battle in Vietnam with this team, and was the only
member to walk out of that jungle alive. In 1988, during a combat awareness
drill, on Camp Pendleton compound he showed up, still wearing the NAVY SEAL
Trident, jump wings, and this time, the hardhat emblem that symbolizes being
an expert diver as well. By then, he was a Lieutenant Commander....
========================= WOW…….shit………I actually remember seeing this MF When I was in Hosp. Corpsman school in “Great Mistakes” in 1985. Jacobs was wearing a Medal of Honor ribbon (blue with stars) over his right chest pocket by itself and I saw him (then a lieutenant) walking with two enlisteds and someone saluted him with the left hand…. ...the
story I heard……..that he survived an attack that killed everyone in his
unit and “crawled out of the jungle after 2 months” (or
something…….). I never could find him listed as
SEAL-MOH winner…. |

The Plain Dealer 1993
Michael Jacobus wore a Navy uniform to his father's funeral, dress Whites at his wedding and a flight suit on military bases. He also Never served in the Navy, an investigator said yesterday. Jacobus fooled two ex-wives, other relatives, girlfriends and the Navy for nearly 10 years, said Diane Nelson, an agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. "His motivation appears to be that he was the, quote, black sheep in his family," Nelson said at a detention hearing. "Being in the Navy Was an ego boost for him." There is no evidence Jacobus collected military pay or attempted to fy an aircraft. Ruth Pavilonis of Willoughby, who is Jacobus' fiancee, said she had Given a statement to naval investigators. But she declined to comment further and referred questions to his lawyer. Jacobus has Said Pavilonis did not find out he wasn't really an officer until His arrest. He was arrested Oct. 29 after Navy officials became suspicious after He posed as a test pilot at several bases. Yesterday, Magistrate Susan Novotny ordered Jacobus, 38, held Without bond until his Jan. 3 trial for allegedly impersonating an Officer. She said she did not believe Jacobus could be trusted to return for trial. Jacobus, who is being held at the Escambia County Jail, earlier Yesterday pleaded not guilty before U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, a former naval aviator. But Assistant U.S. Public Defender Robert Dennis told Novotny he was unsure whether the case would go To trial, and Jacobus said he wanted to get it over with. "I need to get my life straightened out," Jacobus said. He is Originally from the Fort Pierce, Fla., area. Witnesses have described Jacobus as acting and dressing like an Officer since 1984, and the Navy has documentation of a 1986 Incident at Pensacola Naval Air Station, Nelson said. Jacobus said he stopped the charade after the Navy confronted him in 1986 but resumed it recently when he became depressed. In October, he posed as a test pilot at naval air stations in Pensacola, Marietta, Ga., Patuxent River, Md., and Oceana, Va., where he was arrested Oct. 29 after Navy officers became suspicious and reported him, Nelson said. The Pensacola station, home to the National Museum of Naval Aviation, historic Fort Barrancas and the Barrancas National Cemetery, is open to the public. Jacobus used forged travel orders at the other bases, Nelson said. Several women believed the ruse, and a woman in Akron has accused Jacobus of taking $56,000 she gave him to invest for her, Nelson said. No additional information regarding that lawsuit was available. While Pavilonis apparently did not know of Jacobus' background, he said he told his second wife and relatives he was a fake in 1988. Jacobus could face three years in prison, but sentencing guidelines call for no more than six months, Dennis said. |
He is still claiming to be a Navy Pilot and goes as far as to claim that he
was working in the Pentagon the day of the 911 attacks and flew several
sorties over Afghanistan the following year.

| Johnson, Art | December 06, 2002 | . | "... like most of his friends, and men his age, Johnson enlisted in the army on January 13, 1942. To get into Army Special Forces, you have to possess a higher IQ than most, and it was something that Johnson qualified for. He didn't advance too far because he was considered too "wild." They called him "freight train" back in those days.... When he left for the war, he weighed 250 pounds. When he got out he was around 120, and the man stands tall at 6'6". The drop in weight was due to the fact that he spent 15 months in a Korean Prisoner of War camp after he was wounded in combat and captured by the Koreans. "I played as dumb as I possibly could and during interrogations they couldn't get anything from me," he said. Counting anything around him was how he survived the 15 months, and was the only way to "remain sane ... It was suicide to attempt to escape."... (Suffolk Life Newspapers 12/06/02) | . | |||||||

Highway Patrol honors life-saving truck driver and officers Montana Jones is a lifesaver, but he isn't making much of it. “I don't think it was anything special,” said Jones, a Tennessee-based truck driver and former Navy SEAL. “I did what I've been trained to do in my life.” Friday at the Buellton CHP station, Jones and four local CHP officers received certificates of commendation signed by CHP Commissioner Michael L. Brown for their actions after a September rollover accident in the Los Alamos area. Jones was behind the wheel of his big rig, hauling tomatoes, on the night of Sept. 26, 2006, traveling south on Highway 101 near Los Alamos when a 1991 Ford Probe driven by a 43-year-old Santa Maria woman sped by him. In a split-second the car, driven by Sandra Gomez, entered the center divider. Gomez reportedly overcorrected, causing the car to roll and eject her, and then she was pinned from the waist down when the car landed on top of her. Jones, who had extensive pararescue training in the Navy, along with another driver who happened to be a nurse, rushed to Gomez. Jones - who said he keeps two full medical kits in his truck - worked with the nurse to clear Gomez's airway until it was deemed safe to lift the car off her with the help of CHP officers and other drivers. After a search with a flashlight along the roadway for a passenger who
may have been ejected - ultimately, searchers realized Gomez had been alone
in the car - Jones jumped into his truck and continued his drive. .... |
