JOHN WHO?

 

 
It's a digitized book from Amazon titled "Vietnam Veteranos:  Chicanos Recall the War."  The section I'm interested in begins on page 84 and recounts the adventures of "John" who claims two tours in Vietnam.  John's story is as bizarre as it is phony -- he claims to have joined the Army at age 16, got out, then was recruited by "DIA" after which he went through training including "airborne, ranger, and Green Beret" -- all lasting a few weeks at a time.
 
Among "John's" adventures were service in "Operation North Star" in Vietnam where he was part of an elite unit (what other kind are there?) that tracked down and killed US deserters.

REAL SOLDIER IN THIS IDENTITY THEFT HAS BEEN ID'D.



SEEMINGLY A NIGERIAN TYPE ROMANCE SCAM -
IDENTITY THEFT OF A REAL SOLDIER??
NAMES IN USE -

David Banayele

Thomas James

Master Sargent James

Terry Walker James

Joel Willenburg <joelloves2011@yahoo.com>

Jerome Taidi

LESLEY JAMES SMITH    <lesley_ramy4u@yahoo.com>

POSSIBLE LEADS:
  • He's wearing a pathfinder torch and a drill sergeant badge.
  • In one picture on the left he's wearing a maroon beret. This should narrow the list even more to someone who is or has served in an Airborne unit.
  • In the picture on the upper right, above his nametag, he's wearing bronze German jump
    wings.

Soldiers are only required to do 1 partnership jump to earn the Bronze, 3 jumps to earn the Silver, and 5 to earn the Gold.  Ft Bragg:  They do a Toy Jump every Christmas season and its open to the post.  It’s usually on a Saturday and the entry requirement is you have to bring a new, unwrapped toy, for donation.  Then you just stand in line and hope there’s enough parachutes for you to get one.  The Toy Jump is a partnership jump, usually with the Germans, but sometimes the Polish.  It’s a guaranteed way to get foreign jump wings without leaving the country. 

  • Possibly an Aviation Unit.

The person who started the thread (username "SFC Brad M.") has a shadow box in their signature which can be viewed here:

"SFC Brad M." is the person who originally started the thread.  So far he has made the following claims:
-Is assigned to the unit "SOT-A 7th SFG(A)"
-SIGINT Trooper with 7th Group
-Brad is his middle name, not his first name
-"I conduct signit and ew op along with other things your average SIGINT soldier doesn't do. I am a 35P (Crypto Linguist)."
-According to the shadow box on his signature (http://militarysignatures.com/signatures/member15047.png), he has a Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Ranger tab, Sapper tab, as well as numerous other decorations and badges.  Being a Marine I am not familiar with many of the devices.  I asked Team Sergeant, and he said that it was possible, but highly unlikely, to have the combinations that he has.

               

"......the badge next to the foreign jump wings is the German Armed Forced Proficiency  Badge in Gold. The wings look German too."



"Vundy" is a person who claims to know "SFC Brad M." in the real world.  He made the following statement on the forums:

"Brad isn't lying people. I know this because I fucking know, and don't question it. I could find any of you, it's easy for me. so stop jumping to conclusions like retards. Also, the Silver Star registry is really, really fucked up. I have a Silver Star, got my citation, all that, and I'm not in the official registry, my cousin isn't either. It's not a surprise."

 

They both claim to be on active duty.  "Vundy"'s name is listed on his Facebook as "Jarrod Griffith".  Looked him up on AKO -  and he wasn't listed, but this is supposed to be "Vundy."

 

No E8 serving in Afghanistan would be carrying on these type of conversations on a discussion board.

Naval Hero Misses Tragic Helicopter Crash In Afghanistan

Posted: Thursday, August 18, 2011 9:26 am | Updated: 9:32 am, Thu Aug 18, 2011.

Had it not been for a small Coke can in the road in a tiny Afghan village, Carl would almost certainly have been aboard the U.S. Army helicopter shot down in Wardak province in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, killing 22 U.S. Navy SEALs and decimating the proud, elite commando team he once led.

But as things worked out, a lapse in communication between Carl and the driver of his Humvee a year earlier resulted in the vehicle's passing too close to the crude IED (improvised explosive device), triggering an explosion that killed two SEALs, wounded six others and ended Carl's active-duty career after 31 years as a SEAL.......

Regarding the photograph you took of the "soldier...observing the memorial" in your UKMail article (See hyperlink and attachment), I would like to humbly request any additional information you might have regarding him (full last name and any additional statements).
 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011001/Santa-Monica-Los-Angeles-beach-Arlington-West-crosses.html
 
I am a soldier of the US Army and have been for over 13 years. I have an extensive knowledge of military protocol when it comes to dressing in military uniform and representing the U.S. Army in public. It is my suspicion that this individual is NOT who he claims to be, but an imposter. My suspicion is for the following reasons:
 
1. He is wearing his "dog tags" outside his ACU jacket. (Violation - must be tucked in under t-shirt)
 
2. He is wearing a subdued US Flag on his right arm. (Violation - current regulations only authorize colored flag in CONUS "continental US")
 
3. He is not wearing unit patch on his left arm. (Violation - regardless of whether he was in a "special ops" unit, he would be wearing a unit patch. A "spec ops" individual would not be broadcasting their military service by wearing a uniform if they were concerned with anonymity.)
 
4. He is wearing a "Command Sergeant Major" rank on his chest. (Oddity - A "CSM", highest enlisted rank, would know better than to dress in public this way.)
 
5. Performing a search for "d*enberg" with the rank of CSM on our internal "address book" produces no individual. Performing a search for the same last name with any rank, produces no individual living / serving in state of California.

 

There are thousands of individuals who falsely represent themselves as heroes for personal gain - in absolute disrespect for those who truly deserve the notoriety. In preserving the integrity of soldiers serving and sacrificing themselves for our nation, I humbly submit my request in order to verify this individual's status and report him to Army command, if necessary (in the case that he is a soldier of the US Army, but falsely representing his rank/status).
 
Also....was he wearing camouflage sun glasses??? Those aren't army-issued. Interesting for someone who was so concerned with anonymity.

 
Very Respectfully,
ws
===================================================
Hi. Thanks for reading and for writing. Your email is very interesting. I don't have any more details about the gentleman in question, he wouldn't give me his name or any other details. He actually did tell me that he was purposefully not wearing proper unit patches in order to keep anonymous. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not.

Individual attempts to request for military identification card at the San Jose MEPS
Who: Unidentified male
What: Dressed in green fatigue uniform requesting for ID card
Where: San Jose MEPS
When: 13 1500L September 2010
Summary: State and Federal authorities were notified about probable impersonation of a member from the Armed Forces. Stun gun was discovered and confiscated by the San Jose MEPS. Report was taken by the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office and NASA police. After questioning was complete, authorities did not have enough to detain male. Male was released.

                         

                       

10/2011 -  RE"  San Jose MEPS phoney.      Santa Clara University ARMY ROTC in 2008,.. in the middle of the fall of 2008 he came into the office and tried get recruited into the ROTC and be contracted. While he waited for our COL he was talking  about being a former enlisted man but he was coming back. The way he acted we thought he had few screws loose.  As soon as the COL got back  - he  took him in the office  to talk to him. 10 mins later the COL shoosed him out and he looked not happy....  he never told us his name. But later that day at leadership Lab the COL told us if the person some of us saw earlier comes around or seen please contact him and the campus police. He called himself  Johnson to us cadets!

This individual has spent the better part of five years prowling this portion of Fort Jackson.  He has prior contact with Military & civilian law enforcement agencies in South Carolina and Afghanistan; multiple SARs related to Traffic Incidents, Solicitation, and violation of General Orders; and prior Housebreaking charge involving indecent assault. 

On 8 Apr 10, B Co, 3-60th IN Regt (TRADOC) reported a Soldier was sexually assaulted when an
unknown male entered her unsecured room in single soldier quarters while she was asleep. The Soldier resisted and the offender fled. The CID investigation later revealed that the suspect, a former soldier, had fraudulently obtained housing in the soldier’s quarters, denied the offense and offered an alibi witness who stated that he had called her and asked her to lie to the MPs. He was subsequently apprehended and is being held on a $100K bond pending a 19 Apr 2010 court appearance in US District court for Burglary, Sexual Assault, Trespassing, and Fraud.

......On April 24, 2000, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Three weeks later, I was shipped to Camp Pendleton for my 15-week long recruit training, and within the hour, I was prepared to pack up and quit once more, giving up not just another future, but giving up on myself. Much to my surprise, the Marine Corps doesn't allow for quitters. Once you join, there is no going back; you are theirs for four years. This was best thing that could ever have happened to me. The Marines taught me how to stand up and fight for myself, how to never give up, or abandon your goals. After my first month at basic training, I was a completely different person. I at last achieved the sense of purpose and a feeling of pride I had been searching for, and more importantly, I had a desire to achieve goals and to better myself. The Marines taught me pride and honor, self discipline and integrity, management skills and working as a team. All of the fundamentals that should have been passed on from father to son were instead instilled in me by the Marines. I loved the new me, so much so that after four years in the corps, and nearly 1,000 days fighting a war in four different countries, I re-enlisted for another four years.

I would not complete those four years, however it was not as a result of quitting. On February 8, 2005, only 274 days into my enlistment, I, along with several of my Marines were ambushed. I was told I was the lucky one. I returned home leaving my left leg on a dirt road outside of Karbala. I was told that the scars would heal, but I would never be the same person again. Five years ago, that statement might have been alright with me, but, in April of 2000, my life had already changed for the better. I refused to lose what the United States Marine Corps had given me, a new life. A life which saw many of my combat brothers lose, and one I was still thankful to have.

My second chance at a new life started with a five month hospital stay, four surgeries and 14 months of the most grueling rehabilitation I could ever imagine. I spent ten hours a day learning how to walk and take care of myself again. Several times I could have just given up and taken the easy road, but I was a Marine and Marines don’t quit. Every time the pain would limit me, I would close my eyes and picture all the soldiers who cant feel any pain, because they are no longer with us and I forced myself to fight through the pain and agony to carry on their honor. Nearly a year and a half later, I was healed up, discharged from the United States Military and awarded the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. I met the President of the United States and started a foundation for families of fallen soldiers. .......

I was flying out of Dulles today (more than happy to put DC behind me) when I went to the ticketing counter for

Delta. Was stopped by a gentleman working the lines when he stopped me (I was in ACUs, with CIB, Air
Assault Wings, 101st ABN DIV combat patch earned serving with 1 BCT, current USACAPOC unit patch) and
I referred to him, reflexively, as "Sir." What I always do.
 
He then asked me how I knew he was an officer and I drew a blank. He had an SF unit crest ("De Oppresso
Liber") on his blue suit jacket and claimed WW2 status at age 85. I drew a blank. I then asked him if he was
with 1st Special Services Force (aka "Devils Brigade") and then he told me he was with 5th SFG at Bragg.
That particular timeline places him in his mid-40s around then, which is not entirely unreasonable, but this
gent did NOT look 85.
 
He then told me a story about being a Naval Aviator (???) and then about being kicked out. All this while
peanut shards were falling out of his mouth as he was talking (I kid you not). I shook his hand, totally confused
(and I'm not about to bust out some 85 year old in the middle of a major metropolitan airport terminal when
he's literally drooling over himself) so I got my ticket and took the 4:10 out of Yuma, so to speak.
 
Now that I'm back at home station, this BOTHERS me. I'm wondering if you have a contact in the area that
can track down and check. Gent is caucasian, white-haired, clean-shaven, no wrinkles, round-faced, about
5'5" and is blatant about claiming SF status. Wears the SF unit crest on the right side of his jacket (not the
heart side) mid-way up on his paunch. I should have checked for a name but I was in a damn hurry.
 
I know this is crazy, but if possible, let me know if there is any possible follow-up.

I just got back from a Caribbean Cruise, 20-27 March on the EURODAM, Holland America Line. There was an alleged Navy Captain in uniform so I talked to him. I think he might be an imposter. He was wearing a Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, etc. He told me he graduated from MIT and went in to the Navy in 1980. He was obese. He had all the Navy uniforms and wore them throughout the cruise. He said his name was BURTON and told me he was in submarines for the past 30 years. He also said that he just came from Arlington National Cemetery where he buried his first son who was a Marine; he said the son jumped on a grenade in Afghanistan and saved several Marine lives. Also he said he was going back to Afghanistan with another son shortly. He also said his wife was an assistant to the President and could not be with him on the cruise. He also said he turned down promotions to O-7 twice. Seems kind of fishy.

Poser strikes again at Wal-Mart.  As I was looking at DVDs, I saw this man walking/talking on the cell phone in the Service Alpha Uniform.  I did a double look and realized it was another poser.  So, as he approached the area I was standing in I asked to take a few photos of him.  So he struck a pose and asked me if I had ever seen a man in uniform and I replied by saying "no."
Then he said "not even in movies?"
Again, I replied by saying "no."  He really got off on my response by smiling a lot until I excused myself from choking him (that was my initial reaction when I saw him).

So what's wrong with this picture:  Obviously, he's not a Marine, he was walking/talking on the cell phone (check out right hand), the Service Alpha Uniform is not a leave/liberty uniform, he's wearing ribbons on the left/right breast pocket, no tie, no belt with uniform, right bottom pocket is unbuttoned, he's wearing a nose ring which is hard to see in the photos, he has a beard and he is wearing black boots.

I spotted him at Wal-Mart on Bruce B. Downes at 2140, 29 Jul 09.  Also, I was unable to get any information from him because he spoke very minimal English.

GREG the "Navy SEAL" ?

UNION CITY, UNITED STATES

http://www.navyformoms.com/profile/greg66

The man pictured on this web page is not now and never was a Navy SEAL, nor was he a legitimate Naval Officer. His poor spelling and horrendous grammar, and the manner in which he expresses his ideas, makes it absolutely clear that he is not a graduate of any institution of higher learning, much less the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, and most certainly not SEAL material. The sentiments he has express to mothers whose children are going in harm’s way as members of the US Navy are nothing more than repetitions of blasé statements made by others, while making a pathetic attempt to mimic those who truly earned the right to the title “SEAL” in a feeble and pitiable effort to gain attention. Pathetic as those efforts have been, he has crossed the line from meaningless braggadocio and idiotic chest-thumping to transgression of federal laws. He has even been so kind as to provide a photograph of himself wearing the uniform of a US Naval Officer (which is at least two sizes too large for him), and wearing military honors and awards which he has not earned (including the SEAL Trident insignia).

Whether he realizes it or not, real Navy veterans are paying attention to what people like him are doing, and are prepared to involve the federal authorities. Copies of everything he has posted, including chat logs, photographs, and communications headers which can be used to point directly to his ISP and home computer will be turned over to federal law enforcement authorities. They will be urged in the strongest possible way to prosecute you to the fullest extent of any/all federal, state, and local laws which your idiotic charade has transgressed. Sadly there are many like him who have attempted to steal the reputation earned by the real Navy SEALs, so the federal authorities has a lot of people like him on their schedule; while he waits for them to knock on his front door, he might think about looking online for information regarding the STOLEN VALOR ACT of 2005. If I were him I’d pay particular attention to the amount of jail time and the size of the financial fines you are facing.

This "MARINE"??

   
July 2009

.......  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.
