  • Larry Morgan Brown, Fake Navy SEAL, Fake Navy Chief

    Larry Morgan Brown, Fake Navy SEAL, Fake Navy Chief

    The people at militaryphony.com have sent us their case on Larry Brown.  Several of the awards he had on made some people question his military service.

    You can view his official FOIA records over at their site.  It is difficult to know exactly where to begin pointing out all of his embellishments.

     

     

    Larry Brown has perfectly honorable service according to his records.  However, he was never a Navy SEAL and as we all know now, is not a Chief Petty Officer.  There is so much to be said about what is wrong with all of his claims, I will leave it up to the rest of you to hash it out.  Larry should have been proud of his actual service…he had every reason to be.

     

     

     

  • Jack Vreeland, Fake UDT/SEAL

    Jack Vreeland, Fake UDT/SEAL

    At the risk of sounding redundant, our friends at militaryphony.com send us this Jack Frank Edward Vreeland guy.   Jack likes to dress up with lots of patches and pins that say UDT/SEAL on them.

    Jack takes his claims of being a Navy SEAL so seriously that he likes to leave comments on the  UDT/SEAL Museum page.  Of course people began to notice that something was not right about him.

    If people are going to fake being a Navy SEAL they shouldn’t try to “blend-in” at the UDT/SEAL Museum.

     

  • Saturday morning feel good story

    Residents in Manteca CA have recently been waking up to find their tires slashed, windows broken and other property damaged. In the morning a homeowner confronted a man breaking the windows of his truck…when police arrived they found the suspect DRT (Dead Right There)

     

    Charlotte, NC police say a man made a forced entry into an occupied residence.  The man grabbed a knife when the homeowner confronted him. Never bring a knife to a…well, you know.  Medics said he DTL (Died There Later)

     

    A  man delivering pizza in West Monroe, LA decided not to be the victim of a robbery.  One suspect was found DRT (Dead Right There) and the other one did a “Hasty D”.

  • Devil Dog Firearms rebuilding after Stolen Valor scandal.

    Last year, Jonn posted about the ordeal here.

    For the company, the road ahead will be challenging. When it shut down, some $500,000 in inventory remained — high-quality AR rifles with custom finishes and elegant features. But in most ways, the small team is starting from scratch. On the Devil Dog Arms website, a message announces that the company is accepting applications for “senior management, gunsmiths, machinists and sales.”

    Apparently, the investor who outed  Joe Lucania for Stolen Valor has decided to re-launch operations as opposed to selling off the equipment and inventory.  Marine RECON veterans Rudy Reyes and Walt Hasser have been brought into the company as development and brand representatives.

    That seems to be good news for all those who lost their jobs because of the Stolen Valor scandal.  This is another example that Stolen Valor is not a victim-less crime.

  • Sig P320 selected as Army’s new handgun

    The initial contract of $580 million has been awarded to Sig Sauer.  The P320 was selected over the Glock 17 and 19 models submitted for the XM17 MHS competition.

    A key feature of the pistol is its modular design. The main module of the P320 is an internal stainless steel frame fire control unit, which consists of the integrated fire control group (trigger, hammer and all necessary linkage and springs), ambidextrous slide release (one on each side of the pistol), ejector and four slide rails. This steel receiver unit is used in every P320 grip module, top end, and chambering combination and is inserted into the grip frame module and held in place by the axis pin of the disassembly lever.

    Although the Marine Corps and other services are not due to upgrade their handguns until after 2020, recent comments by Secretary Mattis may be a sign that it could be sooner than later.

    The Army’s program to replace the Beretta USA M9 came under fire during his confirmation hearings last Thursday.  I will say that the timing of the Army’s announcement seems oddly coincidental.
