At the time of his offense relating to those criminal charges, MCMANUS had been wearing an unauthorized U.S. Army Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) of the unearned rank of Major (and with fraudulent U.S. Army identification papers naming him as an Army Captain) with attached unearned patches, insignia, and awards, on board a commercial aircraft in New Orleans and also falsely represented himself to the flight crew as a current member of the U.S. military and an \u201cAir Marshal\u201d, and where he attempted to gain access to the plane\u2019s cockpit. Due to the suspicious nature of his uniform and his suspicious claims to the flight crew, he was not permitted by the flight crew to remain on the flight. He was later arrested in California and convicted of these charges there.<\/p>\n<p> Official U.S. military records, which include MCMANUS\u2019 form DD-214, indicate MCMANUS entered on Active Duty with the United States Army on November 11, 1984 and separated on March 31, 1987.  During this period, MCMANUS attained the rank of Private First Class and a pay grade of E-1.  The form DD-214 further indicates MCMANUS was awarded or authorized to wear only the following awards: an Army Service Ribbon; Overseas Service Ribbon; Expert Marksmanship Badge &#8211; Rifle; and Marksman Marksmanship Badge &#8211; Pistol.  MCMANUS\u2019 type of separation is Defined on the DD-214 as \u201cDischarge\u201d and the character of service is defined as \u201cUnder Honorable Conditions\u201d, which is not the same as an \u201cHonorable Discharge\u201d. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>HERE IS THE BEST PART (after jump):<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Attorney CF admitted that MCMANUS was the person in the subject photographs and that MCMANUS told him he had discarded or destroyed all the evidence (i.e., the uniform, medals, insignia, etc.) allegedly because MCMANUS had become \u201cafraid\u201d when his photograph wearing the unauthorized military uniform and unauthorized military awards was posted on the internet <strong>and he became the subject of angry bloggers<\/strong>.
