Meet Rock Diaz from Long Island who tried to scam the airlines out of a free upgrade for his flight and to get VIP treatment. According to the New York Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Rock Diaz, 22, of Freeport, has a history of pretending to be a military man to get VIP treatment, cops said — he once even smooth-talked his way into a jetliner’s cockpit, where he was photographed sitting at the controls wearing a goofy grin.<\/p>\n

The mile-high huckster was finally brought to earth Friday afternoon when a sharp-eyed customs official at JFK asked him his rank — and he gave an answer that didn’t match the insignia on the uniform he was wearing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How sharp-eyed do you have to be to spot a plus-sized phony. he looks like he ate a real soldier. According to Perth Now<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Diaz – who sources said never served in the military – also had a black POW patch on his sleeve, which an actual soldier would never wear in that spot, the sources said. His dog tags were comically engraved with the words, “USA Marines Corp.”<\/p>\n

The Spanish-speaking Diaz said that he did nothing wrong and blamed any confusion on a language barrier.<\/p>\n

“I never asked to get upgraded. The stewardess offered me a new seat, and I asked why. They explained it to me in English, and I did not understand,” Diaz said. “I moved where they told me to sit.”<\/p>\n

He was charged with second-degree impersonation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, he didn’t do anything wrong only expressing his freedom to say and act however he wants. I’m sure his cell mate will enjoy the fact that he does whatever he’s told. <\/p>\n
