The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Matthew Eric Rumple<\/a>, who lives in Pensacola Florida and is 44 years old at the time of this writing.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Rumple, who has the nickname “Punisher,” works for Healing Paws for Warriors.\u00a0 On their website<\/a> under Rumple’s biography it\u00a0claims he is a retired Master Sergeant (MSG \u2013 E-8) and \u201cserved over 21 years in the United States Air Force and United States Army Combined in the Special Operations Community.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Rumple’s LinkedIn profile page, it claims he served in the US Air Force from May 1991 to May 1995 for a total of 5 yrs 1 month.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although it is now removed from Rumple’s LinkedIn page, it once was posted that he was awarded the Silver Star “with valor” in 2006. Other claims involved medals awarded multiple times.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n
Navarre Press had an article that claims that Rumple was wounded in combat.<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

SOURCE: https:\/\/issuu.com\/navarrepress\/docs\/march_19_2015_blackhawk_crash_cover<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the following article Rumple writes in to weigh in on the topic of medical marijuana. This is 2018, which is five (5) years after Rumple was discharged. Note that he signs it Sgt. First Class (ret.). The official Army abbreviation for this is SFC which is an E-7.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n
But on his Healing Paws for Warriors bio page, he claims he is a Master Sergeant (ret) which is abbreviated MSG and is an E-8. If he had retired in 2013 when he left the service, how could he have achieved higher rank?<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n

So what does the NPRC have to say about all of this?<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Rumple was in the USAF for a little over one year.\u00a0 He was in the Army for 13.5 years according to the NRPC Summary Sheet, but according to the DoD Manpower Data Center service dates, it was 14.5 years so we suspect a typo on the NPRC Summary Sheet.\u00a0 Even still, Rumple was in either 14.5 or 15.5 years and this is different than the 21 years claimed.<\/p>\r\n

RANK<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

His final rank is listed as a SSG (E-6) which is lower and different than his claims of SFC (E-7) and MSG (E-8).<\/p>\r\n

Here is Rumple on deployment. On his Enlisted Record Brief, it lists his Date of Rank (DOR) for SSG as 20090701 (01 July 2009) so it would have been difficult to make E-8 by 2013.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

ASSIGNMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

There were no assignments inconsistent with claims.<\/p>\r\n

MEDALS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

There are\u00a0no<\/strong>\u00a0medals listed that would support Rumple\u2019s claims of having a Silver Star or Purple Heart. If he has TBI, this is a condition that a Purple Heart is not awarded for, so there is some question about the claim of \u201ccombat wounded.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u2026..<\/p>\r\n

STOLEN VALOR<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

If the claims by Matthew Rumple were used to leverage work, military or civilian promotions, or anything else of value, he may have been in violation of Stolen Valor laws. State laws may also apply.\u00a0 The Silver Star claims was in direct conflict with Stolen Valor laws.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Yea,\u00a0 “Silver Star with Valor”.\u00a0 \u00a0He took what was a perfectly honorable career and pissed all over it with this kind of nonsense.\u00a0 \u00a0I found this extra bit of asshattery:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Field Sanitation Field Course…he burned shitters w\/V\u00a0 \u00a0and a lot of supervision.\u00a0 \u00a0 I am sure that Jonn is wanting me to mention that the IAVA\u00a0 should be proud.\u00a0 How many posers have we busted that have been assoicated with that group of shitbirds?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
