Turns out that Dick spent some time in the Air Force and rocketed all the way to Airman. Seemed odd for an Air Force veteran to be claiming Navy SEAL so they checked the manpower database just to be sure.

Maj. Gen. Darrell K. Williams demonstrates death by limp grip.
I am sure all you steely eyed warriors in the Army have at least seen the Beretta M9 at some point. Holding one seems to be intimidating for a few folks. Can any of you Army guys explain this new technique in weapons handling?
The good General appears to be demonstrating some kind of new MTC (modified tea cup) grip. Thumb clinched at a perfect 45 degrees and some kind of new RMTF (radically mangled trigger finger). The problem I see here is way too much NTH (nose to hammer) space. He has great duck lips for the Pew Pew Pew but if the slide brings that rear site just under the helmet…for a brief moment there is no glare in your sight picture.
I thought the MTC grip with the RMTF was something new in the Army. But after doing a bit of research I found that others have been demonstrating proper NTH space.
Can anyone explain this new method to me? General John Wick here has me mystified.

US Navy Has A Pregnancy Problem
It seems the Obama administration has been going out of its way to understate the ramifications of pushing more and more women into deployments.
A record 16 out of 100 Navy women are reassigned from ships to shore duty due to pregnancy, according to data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.
I have been saying for years that “Fan Rooms” aboard ship are responsible for way too much sexual activity while underway. Having personally flushed a gallon or two of salt water down the shitter at sea…I knew what was cumming long ago. Back in 1991 Fan Rooms were a problem. Back then people seemed concerned when 10% of the WAVEs aboard one ship returned from deployment pregnant.
For those of you that have never had the honor of riding a Wave, let me just say I did my best to make up for your absence. Life at sea can be monotonous but it hardly fosters monogamy. Sitting in the Old Goats Locker aboard the USS Shreveport a wise old Senior Chief told the following tale about Sailors who had to face disaster:
A ship with 30 sailors and one woman strands on a desert island. After one month the woman says: “I can not proceed in this way.” And she suicides herself. After another month, the sailors say: “We can not proceed in this way.” And they bury the woman. The next month, the sailors say: “We can not proceed in this way.” And they dig up the woman.
Hey, I just heard the story I didn’t come up with it…those poor bastards.
The evacuation of pregnant women is costly for the Navy. Jude Eden, a nationally known author about women in the military who served in 2004 as a Marine deployed to Iraq said a single transfer can cost the Navy up to $30,000 for each woman trained for a specific task, then evacuated from an active duty ship and sent to land. That figure translates into $115 million in expenses for 2016 alone.
Seems to me that doing away with Fan Rooms would save the Navy a boat load of money. But what do I know? There is probably nothing wrong with setting condition Zebra aboard ship when you need to make a hole in the ladder well. I am sure having 30-50 pregnant women milling about has no adverse impact on operational proficiency.

James “Jimmy” Brennan (The Mick); Fake Navy SEAL
Guess what? The people over at militaryphony.com have exposed another fake Navy SEAL. James Brennan has been posting his exploits as a Navy SEAL all over social media for a while now.
Evidently he is a big supporter of the First Amendment. We thought it would be only fitting to exercise a bit of that right ourselves.
In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes. That ought to about cover our First Amendment Rights.
Of course a retired Navy SEAL has to be friends with Chris Kyle .
You can view a bunch of other nonsense this guy has posted online HERE
Ya, so it turns out that Jimmy Brennan never served as a Navy SEAL. He was a BM3 on the opposite coast from Chris Kyle. He did manage to get a Navy Achievement Medal while he served, but I guess that was not good enough for little Jimmy. It seems he had a perfectly honorable career that anyone should have been proud of as it was. No combat of any kind and therefore no “wounds” from combat either. I hear the members of the SEAL community frown upon those who claim to be best buds with one of their fallen. I will go out on a limb and guess that most around here don’t care much for that kind of blatant disrespect either.

A Public Service Announcement (Strong language)
For some reason unknown to me, family and friends alike keep sending me this video. It seems to have something to do with me laughing while watching the Notebook and constantly using the word Pu##y during Hacksaw Ridge. I try to find hope in everything, so I thought maybe the posers and embellishes we expose here can make a valuable contribution to society after all. Besides, isn’t Valentines Day all about offering your heart to someone? Won’t you join me and Coleman Sweeney on this day and spread the word that there is hope for everyone…eventually.

Arthur Murray; Dances with Stolen Valor (Updated w/apology)
Our brothers north of the border send us their case on Arthur Murray.
Arthur Maclennan MURRAY of Cornwall, Ontario came to the attention of Stolen Valour-Canada (SV-C) when we were asked to comment upon photographic images of him attending Remembrance Day ceremonies in Cornwall, Ontario. According to a SV-C supporter in Cornwall On, Murray claims to have been an airborne artilleryman serving with E Battery (Para) of the 2nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (2 RCHA).
LF042015-0102-09Commander Canadian Army, lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse and Army Sergeant Major, Chief Warrant Officer Alain Guimond salute at the Cornwall Cenotaph, during the Remembrance Day Ceremony on 11 november 2015 in Cornwall, Ontario.Photo: Sgt D.G. JanesArmy Public Affairs#StrongProudReady#FortsFiersPrets SV-C conducted a thorough review of all available records including websites, newspaper articles, photographic images, regimental journals and tour books, searchable data bases of medal recipients and extracts from military documents in Canada in order to determine the legitimacy of his claims.
No record can be found that would confirm his claims although, Murray did have a number of images of 2 RCHA in action on his FB page, and he claimed to be the subject of those pictures…. The images have since been scrubbed from the page however, many of them are still available in the image gallery of the the Royal Canadian Legion Branch (www.cornwall-legion.ca) where he serves as the 1st Vice President/Army Cadet Liaison Officer. Interestingly, Murray holds identical Legion branch appointments to recently exposed and self-admitted poser Curtis “Jack” Roush of Smithville, Ontario. (http://www.niagarathisweek.com/news-story/7018926- smithville-legion-vp- remorseful/) He attended the Canadian Forces Recruit School at CFB Cornwallis in the Spring of 1982, after enrolling in Ottawa however, he left the Canadian Forces with less than two months of service and did not complete recruit training. His release from the CF, prior to meeting the most basic military qualification, would have precluded any follow-on training, employment or deployment as an Artilleryman, a paratrooper, a member of the Canadian Airborne Regiment Battle Group or, United Nations service in Cyprus.
So, unless he has been subjected to a series of administrative errors, and/or perfected time travel, Arthur Murray has absolutely no entitlement to the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal, the United Nations Forces in Cyprus Medal, the Canadian Armed Forces operational parachutist insignia nor the hat badge of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery…It’s SV-Cs opinion that Murray is likely committing an offence under s419 of the Criminal Code of Canada – “Unlawful use of military uniforms or certificates”. This is an offence that several individuals have been recently tried and convicted in Ontario including Clayton Donoghue, Franck Gervais, Donald Lemmond, Eric Janssens and former LCol Deborah Miller.Mr Murray was contacted by SV-C in order to discuss the surrender of the medals and insignia that he has no entitlement to… Meaning, SV-C would arrange for a representative of to take the items into his care and custody for their eventual disposal by the authorities. We also insisted that he provide a written apology for his actions, as it’s long past time for him to own up to the steaming pile of shit he left on the parade square!
Arthur Murray’s actions are yet another example of why Stolen Valour claims are so outrageous and injurious to those who actually served. He made a choice to stand in the blood of our wounded and fallen, and for that, there is a price to be paid!Lest We ForgetUPDATE-APOLOGYWe have been informed by SV-Canada that Murray has surrendered the bogus medals and insignia to a SV-C Rep. He has also given an apology for his actions.
That is at least a start. Maybe we here at TAH should have Award Recovery Representatives and Tattoo Removal Specialists. Volunteers? -
Christopher Edward Hoskins; phony Army Ranger/ Triple Canopy
CE Hoskins is no stranger to military groups on the interwebnet thingy. The investigators at militaryphony.com received reports that people were beginning to doubt many of the claims he was making. Someone engaged him in a conversation online to find out if there was any truth to all these claims. Here are portions of that conversation.
It seems they also received reports of Hoskins claiming he was an E-7, served in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan, saw buddies get shot, and watched people die. In an effort to sort fact from fiction his official records were ordered through a FOIA request.
According to his official records, Private Hoskins is not exactly what he claims to be. Little Christopher was never a Ranger but spent some time as an Army Equipment Records and Parts Specialist. It seems that his military career spanned a whopping 14 months before Chrisy was sent home. The investigators at militaryphony.com also uncovered a rather extensive criminal history. You can see all that and the rest of their investigation HERE.
From what I read of their case it appears that CE Hoskins likes to play Keyboard Commando with anyone that questions his claims. He should probably divert some of that attention to the Army because they are at the top of the list when it comes to saying his claims are not true. I am probably a close second. I figure there are a few around here than might try to take that position away from me.

Leevon Ikuo Kuuleilani Otsuka aka Von Cruz; Unintentional Army Sergeant
Someone sent us a case on “Von Cruz” as he likes to be called. He was making claims that he was a Sergeant in the Army.
The poor fella claimed he was suffering from “scrapes and bruises” he sustained from being “deployed out”. Those “scrapes and bruises” were now causing him such horrible physical problems that he was in desperate need of money.
We were getting reports about many other claims that didn’t seem to make much sense as well. We asked for his official records through a FOIA request just to confirm the poor mans stories.
Otsuka/Cruz or whatever, was discharged as a Private and was a Water Treatment Specialist. The saddest part of this is he was busted before. Back in 2015 he was exposed and offered the following apology:
“I read the Bio and why im on here. Om completely sorry about the misunderstanding. I had an agent write the bio for me for my go fund me because i didnt kniw how to set one up. We talked about my military background among several other things. I just seen it says i was deployed out during the early 90’s. I seen it on this website. So i checked
On it. I am completely embarassed and sorry for that. It was NOT supposed to say that. It was supposed to say “I graduated and joined the army in the early 90’s where I suffered a few scrapes and bruises”. Im truly sorry for the misunderstanding. The Sergeant on my facebook was completely my fault, but unintentional. But like I said before, i never claimed to be a hero, or tried to take anything away from those who are, but i am enrolled in the VA due to injuries sustain while on active duty.”After that apology was posted a few people who claim to know him offered their opinion:
“To whom this may concern, I am a family member of Leevon. All I have to say is, he’s a chronic liar. He’ll do and say anything to get a free handout and it doesn’t matter if it’s a stranger, friend or a family member. He knew what was on the biography he wrote. Not some made up agent. If he has taken any of you for money, do something or he’ll keep leeching.”
and
“I agree with the family member that posted prior to me. (which I think I know who it is) I know the “history” behind Leevon for more years than you can count on your fingers and toes, combined. I agree, he is a Chronic Liar. I have heard many variations of the same “Lie” throughout the years. If you are “supporting” him, you need to stop, (ref: prior post) He just jumped over the 40 year mark in his life, with 3 kids, and as far as I know really never had a REAL JOB. (just leeching off of anybody he can) My biggest concern is for the KIDS. They are the innocent ones and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are taken away from him. If you are supporting him, you need stop and let him figure it out on his own.”
Now we are getting reports that he has produced a DD214 that “proves” he was in Iraq. We would love to see a copy of that because the Army does not seem to know anything about it. Maybe someone here can explain exactly what “deployed out” means. Or, why he has no awards for being in Iraq. We have done several FOIA’s on him just to make sure our information is accurate. It looks like he has had some issues doing the right thing in the past.
He left the following posted on one site:
It seems odd that a big time Chef with that kind of experience and an awesome flair, would have such a hard time feeding himself. We kinda figure he inadvertently claimed to be trained by Gordon and Emeril as well. Considering the stellar comments about his character by his own family, we have no reason to doubt the reports we are getting that he is still out there inadvertently making people believe all kinds of things.
Private Otsuka needs to get job, a real job that comes with an actual pay check that he earned.
