Under penalty of perjury, Kalamaris is accused of claiming in court papers of not only being a Naval Academy grad and Desert Storm vet but that he served in the Navy for 22 years, was a fighter pilot, reached the rank of commander and earned an MBA from an esteemed university.<\/p>\n<p>Further, prosecutors allege, he attached forged copies of Naval Academy transcripts, a bachelor of science degree and photos of himself wearing a Navy uniform and medals of distinction. But he actually did not earn any of those, charges the OCDA, which adds the Naval Academy has no record of Kalamaris ever attending there, let alone graduating. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s brilliant, making false military claims in court testimony and providing the court with forgeries. This guy is a regular rocket surgeon. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he&#8217;s facing &#8220;two felony counts of perjury, two felony counts of forgery, falsifying documents and impersonating a veteran to defraud.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the fellas in prison are going to love him, literally.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=74407\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-74407\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Untitled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"268\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74407\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Orange County Weekly tells the story of Pete Kalamaris who claims to be a Naval &hellip; <a title=\"Pete Kalamaris; Stolen Valor in the OC\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74405\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pete Kalamaris; Stolen Valor in the OC<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
