While you’re wasting your time off tomorrow afternoon getting a safety briefing from your commander, think of Taylor Patterson, a Fort Hood soldier who was found by Harker Heights, Texas local police unresponsive in his car. They put the young soldier in cuffs and strapped him into their patrol car. Somehow, Patterson got loose from the seatbelt and cuffs and tried to steal the patrolmen’s shotgun, discharging it in the process. Then he jumped in an ambulance that had responded and left the scene, damaging some of the cruisers in the process. From KWTX 10;
Police scanners crackled with radio calls during the chase as the driver of the stolen ambulance was talking with the officers who were pursuing him.
He told them he was heavily armed and had been trained by the Army as a Special Forces soldier.
The man drove east on U.S. 190 to Belton, where eventually he lost control of the ambulance, which crashed into a light pole at the Simmons Street exit, police said.
I checked the TO&E of the 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, the unit Patterson is assigned to, and they don’t have any Special Forces soldiers, so I seriously doubt his claim. Those of you with AKO access can probably fill in some blanks about his duty position.
Thanks to Top Kone for the links.

I would NOT want to be that goose turd’s Squad Leader or PSG for anything, let alone any other part of his CoC or NCO Support chain. I bet they’ll let the State of Texas have Peimary Jurisdiction where he’ll be the property of Bubba & Thor in no time!
I can hear his PSG’s screams of rage from here.
He is probably an office cluck!
What you’d probably hear was his PSG laughing. He probably told the little turd he’d seal his own fate. His PSG told him “I’m not out to get you, you’ll hang yourself.” And this little turd promptly stepped up and did it. NCO support channel only goes so far. NCO’s teach their troops to be self sufficient, but they can’t live with their troops and manage every minute.
rant over
But on the positive side, he was wearing his reflective PT belt, so he had that going for him, which is nice.
The PT belt factor may keep him from getting a fast track to the street. Now, he will just get a slow boot in the ass. How in hell did he get his booger hook on the bang button for that cop shotgun anyway? He is as screwed up as a sky diver that has to rely on gravity to find earth after a jump.
More fucked up than an eight mission Kamikaze Pilot.
Now that’s funny.

Stolen.
The only person I see by that name on AKO is neither male nor in Texas and should be left alone. I didn’t look for long but I didn’t find any close spelling that would be this individual.
There are three Taylor Pattersons on the global that are in the Army. The only one with a Fort Hood address listed is a SPC in the ADA. The other two look like they are either in BCT or DEP.
The one listed from Ft Hood looks like he is/was a HIMARs operator.
Whether that is him or not, I do not know.
Fair warning on the above individual. While their address listed is the 0615 ASB at Fort Hood, their duty station still lists Camp Humphreys ROK. The C also stands for Cherise. No gender listed. I’m going under the assumption that there would not be TWO Taylor C Pattersons in the same unit and that Korea just hasn’t been updated yet as it says he/she got there in 02/15.
2007 in Germany we had a solider who lost his atm card in a atm and tied a chain around the thing and dragged it back to rose barracks didn’t make it past the pond guys at the gate but the next day we had a recall formation at 0600 on a Sunday talk about a ton of pissd out people ???
Off and not out holy crap spell check on this thing sucks
So, was he able to get his card back?
No idea on that one he was a 11B and a whole lot of pissed off people
If I remember right every body had a IG complaint on Monday
A lot of unhappy people
That is just awesome. I know it was a time but awesome anyway. Infantry – follow me! To the ATM!
A crime… not a time. Spellcheck
🙂
It just had to be 11B huh?
I see how it is 😉
Signal Corps woulda hacked it, engineers woulda picked the lock, intel woulda interrogated the bank manager, SF woulda drawn TDY and max per diem while training the locals to hack it…
Oh holy shit, dude! I remember that whole ordeal. Riscassi and Martinez were not pleased. I also remember meeting that dude at that little bar on post by 4/2’s barracks while he waiting to be read. Listening to him tell the story was so damn funny. That was a fun unit to be in back when it first re-activated as 2CR from 1/25. Reckless as fuck.
I kinda miss the slot machines they had to here ???
In the back by the hair cut place and the coffee show that had been he patriot energy drinks
It always reminded me of Vegas the first and not the ladder
Google says he is a 22 y/o SPC from Hood. Well, whatever he is and wherever he’s from, I’m thinking he’s out the gate pretty soon. I’d be hoping to not be screwed for life with an OTH.
I was there when 615th formed. Our first CSM “retired” from a DUI. Looks like things haven’t changed much.
Nice job, soon-to-be PVT Patterson.
Dimwit.
Gotta be a new record for dumbassery. And he got hold of the shotgun how? Somebody has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Some of the in-cruiser shot gun mounts would be loose enough to allow an 870 or a Mossberg 500 to be racked, still locked in the mount. From there a hole in the roof of the cruiser was a short step away.
He got from locked in the back to unlocked in the front. Not good. He never should have had the easy access you describe.
There’s something wrong with that young man, and not just between his ears. He’s swollen. I’m not sure if he’s on steroids or not, but he needs to be medically worked up before his brain leaks out of his freakin’ ears.
“Welp, looks like we’re in this safety briefing until Friday. As in Friday, June 3rd.”
Thaailor isthh a ghood name! Do noth prejudgth uth, we can counth tho pothato! Onth thwo POTHATO!
Drunk and it only Thursday ????
Knock it off, dipshit.
The best you can come up with is troll over the fact the is first name is also an extremely common last name?
It is like you are ten years old.
Evenin’, Lars. I see your hand turned you down yet again.
Remember how you said it’s “foolish” to fear communists? I challenge you to repeat that shit to my father-in-law. I’ll have the camera rolling as you get your ass stomped flat by a quiet 61-year-old 5’5″ slim-statured southeast Asian gentleman with diabetes.
He fought the Cong, NVA, and Khmer Rouge. He got better at fighting after he received training from Americans. He killed communists to defend his hearth, home, and kin. In the end, it wasn’t enough, as the superpower helping him, his countrymen, and their neighbors to the north and east to resist the communists decided to abandon them.
The communists who took over sent him and his family to a “reeducation facility” (known internationally as the Killing Fields) as “enemies of the people,” not because he had fought against them, but because he’s half-Chinese and could read and write in two languages (Khmer and French). The communists made him watch while they gang-raped his wife. They made him watch when they shot his 4-year-old son in the back of the head. He eventually escaped with the help of a communist who got a little too careless and wound up a little too dead to need his AK anymore, broke his wife out, and made it across the Thai border, where my wife was born. A few months later, they got off a plane in San Diego, and stayed here ever since, becoming naturalized US citizens along the way.
Come on, asshole. Tell that man that he’s “foolish” to fear communists. You’ll survive, but only because he considers you not worth killing.
“Knock it off, dipshit.”
How many people have said this to you?
And how many have you heeded?
I’ll go with, “EVERYBODY” for $1000, Alex.
Lars, I would tell you to BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS but that’s what you always talk out of. You said more than once that you’re a Bernie-head and your candidate praised the hell out of Venezuela’s policies a few years ago. What say you about them NOW o walking goose turd?
This person has troubles and, under a Bernie presidency, it would be everyone’s responsibility to fix him so he is all better. SO, all of you need to contribute to Taylor’s legal defense and mental health care so he can be a leach on society, like me!
You have sand all over you, my other personality, let me help you brush it away.
Thanks!
BTW, I have this BERNING sensation? You know where I can get some vagisil?
“It is like you are ten years old”. And you think you have some remotely reasonable command of the English language? Hell no you don’t! Lars, you write as if you are an uneducated ten year old who spews shit to hopefully say something remarkable.
No shit loudmouth! If you will agree to meet the father-in-law of The Other whitey, I personally will pay your transportation (of MY choice) to meet the gentleman. Think I’m kidding? Wrong! Just man up for once in your life and it will cost you absolutely NOTHING to get to a safe location where you can run your mouth to the gentleman in question. If I had any sense I’d have it put on cable television and sell tickets. My hunch is there’s a LOT of folks, especially on this site, who would spend their last dime just to see you have to answer for your idiotic behavior.
BTW Lars, check out this link on killing Communists. Not that old a link and I’ll bet it makes you fee awfully important to this thread. Please enjoy.

Lars. Your hit-and-run posts have gotten tiresome. If you don’t have anything to contribute, then leave the keyboard alone.
If I marry the above named individual, and he took my last name, would he be called, “Taylor Taylor”?
T square?
Lars… your candidate and his wife have a little PR problem:
http://freebeacon.com/politics/vermont-republicans-ask-feds-probe-sanders-college-loan/
Someone felt the bern… and a college closes its doors today because of it.
You guys know me to a “T”! That’s scary! As you can see, I have split personality disorder. One of my personalities is retarded. I also love to talk to myself.
As to the meeting with the above gentleman. Which one of my personalities should go meet him? It’s not enough that you guys are smacking me silly here and calling me Willy?
This Dutch Rudder Gang? How does one join this gang? Who do I need to talk to?
L. T’s Narc.——Which personality? Take the one in which you are a loud mouth, arrogant know-it-all candy ass POS, always complaining about people not listening to you, pseudo intellectual, Communist Sympathizer and all-around supporter, one who tells the world “People who are afraid of Communism are foolish”, Berkeley panty waist waste of humanity, abuse-lovin’ POS.
Wait a minute! You’re just another ONE trick, Single personality pony, since all those describe you to a “T”. A simple Willy Han Jive Taylor. What would have made us think you are anything less???
Betcha the flag with the hammer and sickle are flying high in your front yard this weekend. All you CWP folks just gotta rub it in our faces. Here’s another good read for you Lars http://icwpredflag.org/AboutICWP.html
This will make your weekend Lars.
A bunch of children.
I’m talking about my different personalities here, not you guys. That one personality of mine will never again not be retarded.
Lars reminds me of a Slinky. Not very useful, but fun to watch when you push them downstairs.
You Commie bastard….if you are an adult, I DON’T ever want to grow up!
Your reply lack a verb to make it a complete sentence. What is missing? Were you intending to tell us how excited you get by watching Commie Children PrOn? CWPCCP…yep, that would be expected from you lefties.
*IF* he’s an adult? That’s a pretty big “if”.
Whatever you say, “daddy.”
I’m not even mad. I’m impressed.
Promote ahead of peers.
With a bullet head like that, he does NOT appear to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Or is that just the hangover look?
Al-Cohol has done far more damage than Al-Qaeda ever will…
Ft.Hood, No wonder…Hated it.
Going from passed out drunk to ambulance stealer. Turning a misdemeanor into several felonies. Keeping the special in specialist. Doggone, if the dude was any more ate up, he’d be chemical.
Stay away from alcohol; it lies when it tells you it’s your friend.
Glad to know I’m not the only one dealing with screwed-up Soldiers today. Sheesh!
“Sloth love chunk”
Poor bastard. It’s going to suck to be him.
I’m reminded of another “indiscretion” one of the highest-speed soldiers I ever knew was involved with. We’ll call him “Jughead”.
In the 70’s, USAREUR soldiers were automatically extended in their tours for 90 days. My section chief, a SP5 Radio Mechanic, had elected, instead of taking an accompanied tour (36 months), chose an unaccompanied tour (24 months) and brought his wife and child to Germany at his own expense. Back then, this meant the Army wouldn’t pay for travel or shipping of household goods for dependents but once in country, he did qualify for the basic add-ons to his pay (BAQ, BAH…back then we didn’t have any other additions such as COLA).
When this 90-day extension was announced, Jughead had just sent his family home for the end of his tour (remember…at his own expense). Here’s the rub. The 90-day extension left him with less than 12 months left on his enlistment. This meant the Army wouldn’t PCS him (under the rules at that time).
Effectively, he got “extended” 14 months…so his total tour now was going to equal 38 months…or two months more than he would have gotten if he had sucked it up and gone “accompanied”.
Jughead was…upset.
That night he went out and got hammered beyond belief. I believe multiple adult recreational substances were involved…legal or not. I was on Charge of Quarters when he got in.
He walked into the front door and stumbled to the vending machines in front of the CQ desk. After searching in his pockets and separating all manner of coins and lint, he found enough to put into the machine. He put his coins into the machine, pressed a button…and it presented him with his drink…a pint of chocolate milk.
Enter problem 1: He thought he was putting his money into the soda machine. He didn’t want a chocolate milk. He hated chocolate milk.
He went into a rage. Screaming and yelling at the “thieving cock-suckers” responsible for this travesty…he head-slammed the milk machine…and broke it. He also cut open a wide gash over his eye and was bleeding profusely.
I tried to calm him down but he ran out of the building and began screaming at anyone who wanted to listen (or didn’t want…I don’t think he cared). I called the SDNCO and the Dispensary across the highway from us (our Kaserne was split by a German primary highway).
The first people to arrive were to MP’s in an M151 jeep. At this point, he decided it was a game. He began running in circles in the parade field across from our billets, one MP on the ground chasing, one MP following in the jeep. As he ran from them he was singing “You can’t catch me! I’m the GINGERBREAD MAN!”
As this was happening, the field ambulance with two medics showed up…both being somewhat petite (and pretty attractive) females.
The MP’s managed to snag him and convince him that he needed medical attention…but not before the MP driving the jeep managed to crash it by driving over what he thought was a curb…but turned out to be part of a large retaining wall at the end of the parade field. Fortunately, the jeep got hung up there…or it would have fallen over the wall to the lower elevation (about a 15-foot drop).
They bundled Jughead up in the jeep (unhandcuffed) and dashed off to the dispensary.
While at the dispensary, the Duty MD was called in because the cut above his eye was considered serious and needed to be evaluated to see if he would require plastic surgery. At some point, the duty MD (another attractive female…wearing civilian clothes (a dress), decided all she needed to do was stitch up the wound.
Sometime during this process, Jughead, who had sterile drapes all over his face and who could only see with one eye (the one they were stitching over)…noted the attractiveness of the young duty MD.
He managed to get his hand up her dress and, as it was later explained to me by one of the medics, gave her “a goose to end all gooses”. This…while she was stitching him up.
This…escalated things a little bit. The MP’s then restrained him and after he was taken care of medically, they informed me they were taking him in. I then called the Company Commander and 1SG. The 1SG came in a couple of hours later and he and I went to the MP station to sign for “Jughead”.
By this time, Jughead was pretty remorseful. We got him back to the billets with no drama and put him to bed.
What happened to Jughead? He was called in to the Battalion Commander’s presence (and the Battalion Sergeant Major). He had his ass thoroughly chewed. They decided he would make restitution for the broken milk machine and, in lieu of any other punishment, informally required him to go through “extra training” for two weeks…maintaining the cleanliness of the area around the CQ desk and policing the parade field he had made his last stand in.
There was no official paperwork, except for a “local” letter of reprimand. (For those that don’t know…this is placed in your local 201 file…which you carry personally to your next duty station. It was *NOT* forwarded to official records.) These “local” letters of reprimand typically disappeared somehow during the change-of-station process.
When I remember this, I still marvel at the changes we’ve gone through over the years. What would have happened to Jughead of this occurred on today’s watch?
