2006:
Hi there, here is an update on Peter Mckay. Just recently a new site
he is involved with, along with his myspace account.
I again applaud you on your efforts to keep track
of individuals who mis-represent their service for our great
country, and who also as Mckay did, lie about medals earned.
It appears he is still quite active on these
sites. I believe he is married, but this hasn't seemed to stop him
from trolling on myspace.
=========================================
Claims to have been a Major in the Army, and was in Desert Storm.
He claims to have been a combat medic with 3-187 Infantry, 101st
Airborne. He also claims to have done four combat tours
and a veteran of 24 years of military service.
Claims to be an Army veteran of three combat tours in Central
America and a combat medic
He also wears 1SG rank, Combat Medic Badge, Air Assault Badge, and
the 2d award of the CIB on his BDUs.
McKay's current story is that after he changed his name he was in
Special Forces so his record is sealed. It just keeps on going....

I
actually have two Purple Hearts, one for wounds during Operation: Just
Cause in 1983 (Grenada) and the second for early in Desert Storm. I also
have a Bronze Star with a "V" device, and above that is the
Army's Distinguished Service Medal, third in line behind the CMH and
Army Cross. The skills badges for this shot were (from the top) Master
Aviation Crewman (15+ years on active duty with an aviation unit),
Master Jump Wings (105 + 1 combat jump), Air Assault Badge (over the
101st Airborne oval), Combat Medics Badge and lastly my Drivers Badge
with the wheel bar. I don't usually post my Expert Weapons Badge, as a
medic us and weapons were not ususaly mentioned in the same sentence.
I actually have 4 unit citations, with the 3/187th Infantry, 101st
ABE in Desert Storm (we made the jump 45 clicks north of Bagdad in
January '91, and there was NOTHING between us and SADDAM), support of
the 1/141st during the L.A. Riots, with the 502nd EVAC in Kosovo in 1997
and aiding with flood control (36 straight hours of sandbagging in the
Delta) with the 601st AMMED in 1999.
My wounds were to my lower right abdomen (exited through my right hip),
both hands and left side of my face. I also got 2nd degree burns over
both arms and chest pulling people out of a wacked Scorpion. It was like
"OK, I'm on fire but I'm not feeling it..." I sure felt it
later. I have small fragmentation wounds all over both lower legs from
small arms rounds cooking off, looks like a midget attacked my shins
with a screw driver.
Mark, I sucked at real steel engagements, I can't remember actually
hitting anything I aimed at. I was a primo medic though, and I was
better at saving lives than taking them

"Actually I can identify...I did four tours in
three different theatres. I was a combat medic so include a collapsing
litter, trauma bag and field set up you can add another 25 lbs to that.
I never carried the AT4, I trained on it but the LAW was better IMHO. I
only carried the pig once, in an exercise in Texas during the hottest
summer Lubbock has ever seen. But being an officer I only carried it to
the nearest enlisted man, or about 1/2 a mile. The ballistic body armor
was a joke, as was seen on two different fatalities where GI's got hit
when they had their arms elevated and the entry wound was through the
arm hole. I hated the M9 when it was implimented, I trained on the
M1911, qualified on it and fought like Hell to keep it. I won't own an
M9, not even an airsoft copy, I'll use a Glock to the last BB before I
pick up a Barretta. As far as the SAW is concerned...I can't wait until
I can get an airsoft version, I have an M60 but it's in need of a
piston, when it worked it was awesome, catch me in a funny mood and it
may be for sale. My SR works great as a stop-gap SAW, those that I can
get to remember it, if not I remind them the next game. It's cumbersome
all by itself."
"I
started playing airsoft in the assault role from the beginning, being an
old time soldier that seemed the only logical choice. Airsoft is
different than real world combat though, the risks are not lethal, and
the thrill of the battle has less impact, physically and
psychologically. There is no traumatic stress on the body from the
"kill or be killed" enviornment. Still, the physical
requirement of running, hiding, shooting from varied positions and
squatting in place for long periods was more than my old and broken body
can handle. I recently suffered yet another injury, this time to my left
knee, ankle and foot, that keeps me from even the basic combat
activities."

| You
forgot "body recovery"...I've picked up more pieces of
people than I care to remember. It's weird, I can remember doing
stuff like that and it never bothered me much, but recently I
watched the execution of those workers from Nepal, the beheading
of one and the execution by head shots to a dozen others and that
got to me, for a week at least. I've seen them first hand, I saw a
nasty sword beheading in Kuwait even and it didn't rattle me, I
guess because this was just plain murder. Suicides are
particulatly rough, I can imagine the feelings of the parents,
especially if it had to be a closed casket because of the
condition of the body. There's always some comfort in being able
to say goodbye one more time. |

had a guy named Mark Milton in my squad from OMI. I don't know
what year he graduated but he was older than me so I'd say in the
mid '70's. Most of my guys were from Ft. Campbell, the 187th was
an AMMED from there. We spent time in the Lima but we also
deployed with the 160th SOAR in their Chinooks. Our guys did the
tirage of the PA-NG guys that got hit by the scud in their
barracks before evacing them to Ramstein. I made Major before I
retired (the first time in 1994), I came back in 1996 as NG as a
Captain and when I retired a few years later I was stuck there.
Still, can't beat that check every month and the free medical for
life. |

| Coyote,
you and I may know each other, I was with the 3/187th deployed
with the 101st. I was living in the 6000 area at KKMC most of the
time but went to Kuwait in late February '91 and stayed at Camp
Stanley. I was an officer as well, a 1st Lt. at the time. Most of
the AMMED guys came from the 178th where I was. |

(NOTE SEE C: ABOVE)
We're
neither a US Army official team nor are we all prior service, although
I am. The use and display of our insignia and pathes are in accordance
with AR670-1 in regards to being a historical recreationist
participant. The particulars of my service dates and deployments I
don't discuss with anyone I don't know, the matter doesn't deem
relevant here.
If you wish to get
involved in airsoft my recommendation is to become a forum member at www.fresnoairsoft.com,
we have regular games conducted on provate property in accordance with
local law, we have members of the armed forces, both active and
retired, law enforcement and military dependants that play. You can
contact Mark Hobbs, the administrator of the facility, at the
Sportsmans Den in
Oakhurst
,
California
. I don't have his phone number at hand but he can be found in
directory assistance. Our games usually have some basis in actualy
real world events and vary from CBQ to wooded combat.
Hope
that helps you make a decision, contact Mark Hobbs when you're in the
area of check the forum for dates and times of the games.
=========================
He runs/ran a Fresno Airsoft website. These guys play airsoft wars in
the hills of CA.
He has been awarding the coveted Combat Infantry Badge to anybody he
chooses that plays airsoft with him. He awards the EIB, CIB, and
2d Award CIB to people that play airsoft with him. He awards the
Combat Medic Badge to kids who take a first aid course, and the Air
Assault badge for a simulated helicopter landing in an airsoft war.
(Not to mention the Civil Affairs DUI and unit shoulder patch, and as
a combat patch) All these awards and insignia are official US Army
stuff. Downright illegal under USC Title 18.
Claims he volunteers at a VA hospital and the vets there have told
him it's cool, they didn't mind.....

At
a recent team meeting we sat down and
discussed uniforms and if we as a team would
require a specific uniform when playing the
game. Eric Micheletti's book Special
Forces: War on Terror in Afghanastan shows
that A Teams deployed used mission adaptable
uniforms in the theatre, which could be
anything between full BDU's in either woodland
or desert or civilian clothing, or a
combination of the two.
During games I personally
have been using DoD woodland BDU's with a
matching boonie, but I recently obtained my
first set of woodland digital BDU's from FOX.
Their design is supposed to be within 5% of
the MARPAT design, and it looks pretty good.
Again, my personal choice is this pattern of
BDU with the tan current issue DoD desert
combat boot, and hardened headgear, such as a
"skaters helmet". This amounts to a
cross between what would appear to be a US
Army Delta Force soldier much the same as was
made popular in the movie "Blackhawk
Down" and a US Marine infantryman
stationed in a non-desert enviornment. It
works for me. I also have a set of standard
current issue DoD Desert BDU's with full color
patches that could be used in a pure desert
enviornment, but here in the Fresno area that
type of terrain isn't common.
At the meeting we decided
to adopt the ranking system found elsewhere on
the site, with placement according to DoD
AR670-1 regulations, that is officers rank on
the right collar with the special forces
insignia on the left. Enlisted men will wear
their collar rank on both sides. We had
already adopted the Special Forces patch and
rocker as the team patch but also approved
patches from the 513th Military Intelligence
Brigade, 173rd Airborne Division and 25th
Infantry Division as support units.
Skills badges were
discussed and as a team we decided if a person
has a current American Red Cross CPR and First
Aid certificate they can wear the US Army
Combat medics Badge in it's appropriate
location. Experience with the sport of airsoft
also brings a skills badge, the Expert
Infantry Badge for anyone with up to 6 months
experience, Combat Infantry Badge for anyone
with 6 months to 18 months experience and the
Second Award of the Combat Infantry Badge for
anyone with more than 18 months experience, or
that is a platoon leader or unit commander.
The Second Award is also offered to anyone who
has a minimum of 12 years of relatable
military experience as an infantryman.
| ...disregard
the foot.... |
|
| ..but
this is my personal woodland digital
BDU's with all skills badges and
patches properly placed. |
When it comes to
equipment once again we're mission specific.
In the summer here in central California the
rule is the lighter the better. You still
need to support your mission, carry enough
ammunition and life support materials such
as water. Once again my specific equipment
is the Enhanced Load Bearing Vest (E-LBV) in
woodland with web belt, one 1 quart canteen
and a large drop pack for empty mags.
Depending on the game I also have a compass
pouch that carries my Motorola Talkabout
radio. Other team members use the MOLLE
system of suspenders and belt with M-16
magazine pouches (left side empty, right
side loaded), canteen, drop pack,
compass/radio pouch and other small utility
pouches. In games where a handgun may be
used I carry my KWA Glock in a holster on my
right side with the spare mag contained in
the holster. In that instance I carry extra
BB's in prescription bottles and a can of
gas in the drop pack if the deployment is
going to be long.
Blackhawk makes a great
line of game gear, but it is considerably
more expensive than military surplus. Their
line includes SWAT and MilSpec approved
gloves, knee and elbow pads, bellaclaves,
uniform accessories and goggles.
I use a pair of leather
military gloves, in the summer without the
wool liners. These protect my hands from
hits and allow me to move materials around
in the field with a decreased risk of
injury. Others on the team use the Nomex
fighter pilot gloves often used in the real
world by the A Team and Delta Force troops.
Other items such as knee and elbow pads are
also used in certain instances. I usually
wear impact rated safety glasses with aide
protection, and while these don't give the
same coverage of goggles or a full face mask
they have been proven in the field to be
enough protection. At a recent game I took 2
shots square into the glasses from about 70'
from an upgraded gun. The glasses were
marked but were otherwise intact. I have
replaced them just in case there is a crack
ot other artifact that can't be seen that
would cause a later failure.
Our team is made up
of both men and women, and because of
that we become somewhat unique. Also
because of that we need to be aware that
certain things, language and behavior
especially, are not acceptable. While there
is always a lot of good natured ribbing back
and forth care should be taken not to cross
the line on subjects of sexuality, certain
bodily functions and anatomical features.
