Nearly a year ago, we talked about Joe Teti, one of the stars of the Discovery Channel’s TV show, “Dual Survivor”. We proved that he was who he said he was, a Recon Marine and a Special Forces soldier. We also proved that he wasn’t a military veteran of the War Against Terror, although he did participate in the war as a civilian contractor. Those facts aren’t in dispute.
Joe thought that the characterization of him in the comments needed to be edited out and I refused to do that. It’s not the purpose of this blog to present only the opinions that we like. So that pissed Joe off and he called to make a thinly veiled threat to sic his lawyers on us. When that didn’t work, he started attacking us on his Facebook page and we got some threats from Teti-huggers.
The last few weeks, we’ve had about 20,000 visitors to those links above because Dual Survivor started it’s new season, I suppose. The publicist of that show contacted Military Times to do a puff piece on Joe. Of course, the first Google search result for Joe Teti is TAH’s post. So they called me, and I predicted correctly that they couldn’t use anything I told them in the interview. But he did lift some of my comments from the blog. From the Air Force Times;
Retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Jonn Lilyea runs the popular military blog This Ain’t Hell. He writes that while Teti’s military records largely check out — he was in the Marine Corps and Army Special Forces — “he could hardly be a ‘combat veteran of OIF and OEF’ as he claims in his bio in the way that most of us understand the term ‘veteran.’ ”
Mary Schantag, who heads both the POW Network and FakeWarriors.org, has investigated some 5,000 contested claims of combat experience and valor medals. She contends that a contractor simply cannot earn the same status that a military member can.
“I don’t care if you’re a veteran of however many contracting scenarios,” she said. “It does not make you a combat veteran.”
I’m convinced that Teti intended to portray himself as a military veteran of those wars by hinting at it. I didn’t say that in the post, but now that he has proven himself to be drama queen and a diva over my posts, I’m more than willing to say that out loud. He doesn’t like your discussion over his veteran status in his claims, so there must be something to it.
He liked that I let him have total control over what I wrote (we stayed in telephone contact through out the process) but he didn’t like that he couldn’t control your opinions. I’m pretty sure that he doesn’t like the direction that the Military Times article took, either. Needless to say that I didn’t watch the show before I wrote about it, nor have I watched it since. I’m just not interested in the subject, or in Teti, honestly. If I wanted to watch whiny little bitches, I’d watch another reality show where at least there are whiny little bitches with boobies.

What a clown.
Slowly, ever-so-slowly, the tables are turning and the winds of change are bringing TRUTH to the shores of those who would hide from it. Time is no friend to those who LIE for Greed and Profit. Teti is finding this out right now as we stand with the SFA and Captain Hawke in the SLAPP lawsuit teti instigated and now Discovery shall be forced to face the horrible things they allowed to happen to the Hawke family due to teti and his LIES….
The Truth WARRIORS stand with you, Captain Hawke, in this fight against DISCOVERY. This is a long time in coming and TRUTH, HONOR, & INTEGRITY shall prevail.
Discovery practices this as does teti:

Jonn,
How do you know that whiny baby Twinkle Toes Teti doesn’t have titties??
/jes sayin is all.
Oh, I’m sure he does: two in front and one in the back for dancing.
Maybe Jay Kerwin could give him some pointers….
Dizzam, Ex-PH2, give a guy a little warning!
Note to self:
Nothing clears the nasal passages like single barrel bourbon.
My pleasure!
I just happen to have a bottle of Four Roses Single barrel here…..my house, or your’s? 🙂
Pretty well steared clear of this discussion from the get go, probably opined once or twice but to me it was an argument for other folks to have.
However having read the article mentioned and linked above… Wow does he lay it on freaking thick with the “if I told you they would lock us all up and throw away the keys” shit. If it is seriously that big adeal for him to talk about it, that it could get someone tossed in jail for knowing who he allegedly worked for then he probably should not even be mentioning it at all.
My take on it is this, he worked for someone. Maybe even an alphabet agency, maybe… but even if he did, he shouldn’t be talking about it at all, and they would simply say “Joe who? Never heard of him”, not go throwing folks in jail.
So yep, I got my waders on now because that shit just got really deep. He has a really big mouth for someone who portrays himself as some huge black ops operator.
I also got the feeling that many folks that read that…..were it to be hard copy…would start fanning themselves after reading that tripe with said newspaper, to drive the *stank* away from themselves.
“He has a really big mouth for someone who portrays himself as some huge black ops operator.”
That’s because he has a show to hype and by talking about being a high speed contractor gets the non-military types to tune in. It’s all about the ratings. Maybe he’s a great guy? I don’t know. I do know that I haven’t watched a minute of his show and now won’t entertain watching it ever, even out of curiosity.
Just another self-aggrandizing POS unable to control the “spin” on his service.
“Double Secret Contractor unit,” my ass. Wait…Wait…Lemme guess – He was contracted by the CIA to eliminate HVTs that CAG and DEVGRU didn’t have the balls to go after.
Or maybe he had OBL dead bang, but then couldn’t get clearance to pull the trigger and that’s how OBL escaped Tora Bora.
Why someone takes honorable service and churches it up is beyond me.
Dalton Fury actually wrote a book about Delta going after OBL and not being able to get permission to chase him into Pakistan. And a lot of the blame for the failure of that mission fell to the muj, according to his work.
I’ve heard that from a couple of different sources as well.
Impressive. He worked for groups so secret he can’t even discuss them. Wow – “Don’t even guess about it because that will get you in big trouble. Don’t even take liberties at guessing because you’re actually crossing a legal line right there. … I am not at liberty to discuss — ethically, legally, morally — who I worked for.”
So I wonder what he put on his resume for his little TV show? Hell, Gomer Pyle was more entertaining this this crap. Most of what he does we learned in Boy Scouts 40 years ago.
Indeed, some of those whiny bitches with boobies have nice big fake ones and they aren’t afraid to show them off…you can just turn the sound off and watch them flop about…..
Teti is a non starter, that simple. You did stuff in the military Joe, but you didn’t enter combat in the military. You got paid contractor cash with contractor bennies….ain’t the same animal at all bro and claiming otherwise doesn’t change it.
Just cuz I was in Panama once on a job and beat the piss out of a couple of dopers doesn’t make me a DEA agent on foreign assignment….
For realz!? You need your own reality based show on Discovery, Bro. You don’t have to say that you were never in the DEA, just say that you were a part of a secret government drug interdiction task force that you can’t talk about and that you got major kudos and medals and stuff that are all totally off the books. The mall ninjas will eat it up.
You’re truly missing out on a gold mine. If Discovery will put a douche bag like Teti on, ANYbody’s got a decent shot at getting a show or at least a pilot.
I am doing my own Reality Show!
It is called: Hoey vs. Bernath – The Story of a Genuine Master Chief Petty Officer Taking on a Phony CPO
It will be about 9 – 12 months long and in the end … I win!
Dude! NO Spoilers.
I would watch that. Oh HELL yeah I would watch that!!!
I totally want a guest appearance.
Where do I send the donuts?
12 jellies please! I knew it was Don … standard CPO humor!
😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 !
I’d buy a teevee just to watch that … And for you, Master Chief, my personal Holy Grail, a dozen Maple Creme Drizzles from Dunkin!
But it needs a catchier, punchier title. Something like “Master Chief Versus Total Queef.”
Holy sh!t … funny … coffee spurts out of nose … over pressurization of sinus canals … ears now clogged with joe!
I offer this as theme music for the show:
http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=41735
Bring on the popcorn, cold ones, and folding chairs. I’d pay good money to watch that.
Combat veterans can quit in combat…but they end up PCSing to Leavenworth. Civilian contractors can quit ANYTIME and they are sent a plane ticket home.
Teti is a contractor who is a veteran with outstanding training-qualifications but is NOT a combat veteran.
Splitting hairs for one’s personal gain can be construed as being a untruthful.
If he is so wound up in the minutia, then he has the problem(s).
One of my ex-wives was an Indian, does that make me an Indian Fighter? The reason that Mercenaries are shot at by both sides is that they fly no flag. And face it, that’s what this guy was, a mercenary. “have ya seen a lot of Combat?” “I’ve seen a lot on TeeVee!” Animal motha to Joker. FMJ.
Roger in Republic sez:
“…One of my ex-wives was an Indian,…”
“Dot” or “feather”?
Spewed bud light on computer screen….
A Wahoo McDaniel or a Union Carbide recipient?
I was in 1st grade with Wahoo McDaniel’s daughter.
His daughter? That is cool…did she bring him to school for “Show and tell?”
Who’s killed more Indians than John Wayne?
Union Carbide.
TSO and I were tag teaming this on his facebook. I’m still blocked and I’m pretty sure TSO is too.
The worst thing about all of this is that I actually liked Dave Canterbury. He an Cody had an odd chemistry, almost like a married couple. And he seemed to be a good-ole-boy who was more natural with all of the survival skills. Teti is an uptight a-hole who went to some military survival schools. The Discovery Channel panicked and hired the first guy that came along and got burned again – not by necessarily by Teti’s record, but by his character.
Not claiming to be an expert here, but I have run into a couple of guys (not many) who are/were former SEALs, Green Berets, or other high-speed badasses. One thing they each have in common is that they don’t talk about it. Period. They don’t do the “I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you” bullshit. They just don’t talk about it.
So what’s this guy’s deal?
The Other Whitey…Thank you and thank you. My same experience in any of the very few conversations I had with high speed types. Quiet, nice fellows with not a word of good to say except about some other outfit or unit. Never about their unit or themselves. All spoke in the highest respect for other service members and branches, regardless.
“But troops who served with Teti aren’t impressed with his combat claim, especially in light of the fact that he left the military right after 9/11.
“If he’s claiming to be a combat veteran because he’s a ‘veteran’ of ‘combat’ as a contractor, then that is unconscionable,” says a current field-grade officer who served with Teti. “We had two SF operators badly wounded on that [post-9/11] deployment, and they are the real ‘combat veterans’ in my book.””
It is odd that such a high speed war fighter would get out when the super bowl is en route but maybe he wanted mega bucks for some of the same duties as a civilian instead? Either way he knows he’s wrong with the wording he used.
What a stubborn ass.
FatCircles0311…I agree. Teti is not a stupid person. I say…follow the money and you’ll find his true motives and intentions.
As I said earlier:
“His is not a bully … he is just an outted embellisher who is seemingly disliked across the board and lashes out like a high school cheerleader who has just had her bra snapped by a 9 year old boy!
So in review:
Not a bully …
Panties in a wad …
Any questions?
Oh one other thing … that whole triple secret decoder ring quip “I am not at liberty to discuss — ethically, legally, morally — who I worked for” notion is quite humurous!
Master Blaster – panties in a wad? More like sand in the mangina…
Sh!t … Beer spit across bar … Everything is funny today …
Master Blaster rules Bartertown.
Do not mess with Joey. He is a member of the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association. Or at least his bio says so. (That’s $25 for LEOs and private citizens and $50 for businesses. Hey, you get a decal!)
Jonn said “boobies”… I like the cut of his jib… I like the boobehs too!!!
‘He doesn’t like your discussion over his veteran status in his claims’ — and I don’t care.
His status is all made up out of whole cloth in that dormant organ in his head. If he actually was a contractor in GWOT, there isn’t anything he was involved in that wasn’t on the nighly news. Was he working for Red Adair, Boots & Coots, or Halliburton, putting out oil well fires in Kuwait? That was dangerous enough in itself. But it was ON TV, FFS! And everyone could see it. I doubt seriously there was ANYTHING tetsless was involved in that was classified in any way, but hyping it by hinting at it is supposed to stir curiosity.
My guess is that he was a desk jockey in whatever he did as a contractor and if anyone finds out about it, he’ll lose his TV show, and he knows it. And his ‘survival skills’ stuff? I haven’t watched his show, but from what others have said here, it’s twaddle. ‘Survivorman’ was better because that guy did not have a camera crew following him around.
You’d be better off with ‘How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse’ and a copy of one of Tom Brown’s or Euell Gibbons’ books.
He could always land a job with All-Points Logistics.
Green Thumb…once again you nailed it. He’s All-Points Logistics material from start to finish. Not even an interview, just sign here son.
From the Army Times:
Joe Teti says he had two goals when he decided to become a reality TV star.
“One, I wanted to be a good role model for kids. My second goal was to represent the special operations community as a whole in a good light,”
Errr .. isn’t that an oxymoron? “reality TV” and “good light”?
And as for guessing, I’m just guessing he worked for DoD what else would actually put you in tier 1? (well technically NSA also but he doesn’t strike me as a very crypto technical/spook dude so that’s ruled out) *facepalm* dude has a bad ass resume why go all overboard with a lie like that? I swear is like pissing on a perfectly good 12 oz steak because you think a 14oz steak is just so much better .. (not saying combat veteran is a small thing, but for his show who cares if he was a contractor? most civilians couldn’t make the correct assumption so trying to just put “combat veteran” was too much of a stretch)
But again, what do I know …
PS Feels good to start posting back again 😛 *waves to all hi*
LostOnThemInterwebs…Yea I can see it now, a guest appearance on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. Now there’s reality TV no one can deny. Am I right or am I right? 😀
He is all about the drama! When this first went down he and I got into it because he couldn’t understand what he was reading. He kept wanting to blast Jonn, when Jonn was the only one agreeing with him. He is just one of those people who aren’t happy unless they have lots of drama happening, kinda like my 13 year old daughter. Hey! Any press is good press, right?
I want to see the actual background of that guy who was doing the reality show where each episode was a one hour wargame against alleged ‘operators’ and the like, where he would assault a position or what have you. I watched an episode and noticed his AR upper changed back and forth between three COMPLETELY different barrels, and that he wasn’t carrying an extra barrel, so laughed and called bullshit on him.
And I’m getting pretty sick of people saying ‘well, I didn’t CLAIM to be’ when they were overtly hinting at it. That’d be like me walking around in a Vietnam Veteran TShirt with a boonie hat telling tales of other’s exploits in ‘Nam then acting surprised when everything thinks I was there. Complete and utter bullshit, through and through.
That’s Wil Willis.
The video below is the most Tei I have ever viewed. Watch him act the ass as the other guy–who appears to have a brain–laughs at him. It’s only 2 1/2 mins long.

Oh, my God! Bigstuff joeytetsless is afraid of snakes!
Holy venom sacs, Batman! Call the paramedics, just in case the idiot gets bit!
(Walks away giggling, shaking her head.)
See snake. Eat snake. That’s what they are for.
That’s just pure gold, watching him just try and fail to pin down a rattle snake is just …. priceless
For anyone who is reading this, North American poisonous snakes are slow-moving critters. You have time to walk away or back away from them.
Here’s a clue: if you don’t know what kind of snake it is, leave it alone.
I took a snake to school one morning. Found it on the sidewalk, sunning itself. Picked it up and put it in my purse. It was a gorgeous common garter snake, very dark green with yellow stripes the length of its body. Biology class was my second class in the morning, and we were discussing vertebrates. Mr. Johnson (who was afraid of snakes) started talking about reptiles and I said “Oh, I have one with me” and took it out of my purse.
Mr. Johnson turned sheet white and stepped back from me about 15 feet.
Yeah, if you don’t know anything about snakes, leave them alone.
I used to always walk around with a garter snake in my pocket. I was the only girl in my neighborhood and the only kid not afraid of snakes. If I couldn’t beat up the boy I just threw my snake on him. I was a strange child.
Stop it … More wasted beer … This time all over the mirror behind the bar … Everything funny today!
Is that a garter snake in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
There were only about 100 softball sized rocks around he could have thrown from a safe distance and bashed the fucking snakes head in with.He gets a two foot stick to hold it down with so he could use his 300 dollar survival knife to cut it’s head off with.
The guy sounds like a complete fucking dick.
I’m betting he had very little respect among his units in the Military.
Yeah, there was a kid like Joe (serious and alarming about dumb stuff) in Junior High that we used to torture at every opportunity.
That is, without a doubt, the funniest thing I have ever seen on TAH.
“This compromises our security.” I nearly fell out of my chair. For crying out loud, it’s a 3 1/2 foot snake! If one of those guys suddenly started to look or smell like a mouse or if they threatened it, the snake might become potentially dangerous. Otherwise, not so much.
The guy with the braids seemed to be very amused by the show. They are in the desert. What did Teti expect to find, salmon?
“This thing is 100 feet from where we bed at night this compromises our security!” – Joseph Teti
BWAHHAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA! 😈
During the FTX portion of infantry OSUT, all we had for bedding areas were our poncho lean-to… with us set up in a triangular formation. No snakes crawled in with me, but a crap load of snakes crawled through our AO without bothering us. 😀
We knew what was out there to, because one of the drills found a dead rattle snake that was about 3 feet long and thick during the STXs that preceded the FTX.
Joseph Teti knows better, and is just making a scene. 😀
I actually had a working relationship with some civil servants in DIA — they spent most of their time doing stuff like that (one moved on to “management” the other was still in operations). This one particular feller was on one well-known rescue op …. and the military side of the op was highlighted in the news. Said DIA person said they worked with “civilians” who were very scary.
This coming from someone with verifiable “scary” chops himself. [More in-depth info on him briefed to us so we could understand the project better].
So, could Teti have been one of these types of TLA [Three-Lettered-Agency] subcontractors? If so, I could understand him claiming combat experience as long as he said he was a civilian combat veteran. After all, don’t we tend to classify the Marquis of WWII fame as civilians; and, didn’t they have combat experience?
LTWCFMO
[Leading The Way Comfortably From My Office!]
Nope, he doesn’t make it clear he was a civilian contractor and stands by his comment of “combat veteran of OIF & OEF”.
“Teti worked in Israel for Dyncorp on a PSD; then for Custer Battles and then Triple Canopy. It’s believed he had to leave Triple Canopy for claiming CAG to a real CAG SGM. Teti had put CAG OTC on his resume (when he’d only hacked 3 days), so that makes sense.” ~ M. Hawke
It’d be funny if it weren’t so bloody stupid.
I dunno, this guy’s always been legit enough for me. Certainly the ‘most correct’ terminology wasn’t used, but compared to the rest of the folks that get drug around here, the guy’s pretty damn legit. Also kind of a dick, IIRC, but it’s still a free country.
The “most correct” terminology is usually the difference between fact and fiction. He knows exactly what he is doing and saying by splitting the “combat veteran” hairs in his bio. That get’s viewers and sponsors cause everyone wants to see a war-hero. maybe he did some serious shit as a contractor – good for him, but playing with words around folks who know the difference gets him zero cred points.
I’ve “handled” 3 divorces over the past few years. Does that make we a divorce lawyer? No – only a poor judge of women and sucker for punishment.
The only time I want to watch Joe Teti is like 20 years from now when VH-1 has a program detailing “where are the reality stars from yesterday now?” type show.
Never watched Dual Survivor and I never will.
If I ever come across a snake three things might happen:
1. I scream like a child!
2. I shoot it at a safe distance.
3. I back off and think how I will kill it with a large rock or a long stick.

Black or rat snakes are very cool creatures. Val is one of the few people who doesn’t incorrectly say garden snakes when they should be saying, as she does, garter snakes. Timber rattlers an I brushed a few years ago when I was weedwhacking. For some reason, I turned the thing off, and heard the rattle. I guess he heard me when I said, “Stay right there, buster. I’ll be back with a shotgun in 5 minutes,’ b/c he was gone when I returned with my Biden. Copper heads are nasty, mean creatures–and do not scare. They attack. Okay, I’m done.
Well, before someone points out the obvious, the rattler couldn’t have heard me. He read my lips, though!
“With my Biden”.
Hehehehehehe!
Snakes are okay. They just don’t want you to step on them, is all. I’ve had them for pets and had them all over my farm, and never had any trouble with them.
My friend found pygmy rattlers all over her kitchen once, but it was very dry and I think they were looking for water.
Most snakes in this country are nothing to worry about, MCPO. Only 4 are dangerous: rattlers, copperheads, water moccasins, and coral snakes. And if you’re not in the extreme south, you can forget corals.
Of the other 3, the water moccasin is likely the one you need to worry about most if you’re in the south. They love swampy areas, they’re aggressive as hell, and they can kill an adult if the bit is left untreated. You’ll likely hear the rattler, and a copperhead isn’t generally life-threatening dangerous to healthy adults w/o underlying medical issues.
Moccasins are silent. And they CAN bite underwater, too.
In general, though, other than at mating time if you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone. And they do take care of a fair number of rodents.
Yeah, the mocks are a bitch. When I was a kid, we were at a state park in TN. Lots of kids swimming. A moccasin shows up in the water and starts chasing the swimmers.
Everybody got out of the water and moved up stream to swim. The damned snake followed them! Everybody had to vacate the area.
The “Mojave Green” rattlesnake is territorial and vicious. It was no problem to stomp on sidewinders because they never got too large — maybe a foot long; but the Mojave Green was about 2-3 feet long and would chase you. I never got chased … but avoided them when I could.

[blockquote]…the Mojave Green snake is known for having the most lethal venom of all North American pit vipers….[/blockquote]
Well thanks a lot Dr. Snakeman! Where did you go to school Serpentian University? Now I won’t sleep tonight knowing that at least 3 of the 4 (that live in my area) can slither in to my house and bite my testicles resulting in death!
Again, thank you!
If a poisonous snake chomped down on your nuts, I very much doubt you’d want to live anymore, anyway!
One of the rotation unit’s troop was bit in the butt one night when he bent down to answer nature’s call. He was medevac-ed to the Irwin hospital; the attending PA removed several cholla spines. He didn’t live that down.
In a separate incident, an Observer-Controller was actually bitten by a sidewinder — he put the snake in an ammo can. The snake died, but the OC had no ill effect. We figured the snake either made a dry strike or the venim was absorbed into the BDU leg [dunno if that is even possible, but it was the prevalent theory]. Of course we made fun of the OC … because the rattler that bit him died!
Too much fun in the desert.

Master Chief sez: Where did you go to school Serpentian University?
I spent 3.5 years at the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin — in the Mojave [our north border was Death Valley]. My “mentor” was Maj. Don “Snake” Dickenson who often said, “What the hell does THAT have to do with killing Communists?”
Anyway, being in the desert for two weeks out of every month for 13 months … one learns about the local critters. The huge green scorpions are okay … it’s the tiny brown ones that you want to avoid.
Vinegaroons look butt-ugly, but are harmless.
Snakes all over the place, though. Rat snakes, racers, rattle … you’d see them in the evenings warming up on the asphalt roads.
Tarantulas won’t bother you — they can’t even bite a human; You actually kill a lot of them when they cross the hard-ball during mating season. Lots of slick spots on that 28-mile stretch between Irwin and Barstool (I mean Barstow).
And … do NOT touch the land tortises — if they lose their water they die.
And, saw a cougar on the rocks once.
SSSSSssssssssss ….. Rrrrrrrrrrrr….

I ran over a cotton mouth yesterday. I didn’t mean to, I’d much rather have the snakes around than what they eat. Mice just creep me out! Yeah, I’m a girl about mice and rats!
I had a coral snake crawl out of a wall in my screened in porch once. My dad came and caught it and took it to Sea World. They pay for them alive, by the foot. We had a very nice steak dinner that night.
Anyone ever been to “Rattlesnake Round up” in Alabama? You can eat rattlesnake anyway you can think of to cook it. Good eating!
I think I would rather watch reruns of Melrose Place than Turd Teti’s show.
Green Thumb…along the same thought I was trying to think what would make me stick pencils in my eyes faster. I came up with reruns of Beverly Hills 90210 though. I’ll take the BH 90210 every time.
I’d rather watch “Brady Bunch” reruns instead, and I’d rather crawl naked through poison ivy after wallowing in broken glass and bathing in rubbing alcohol than even THINK of watching that show!!
Hey, Marcia Brady was my dream girl growing up and Mrs. Brady was a hottie too!
🙂
Rattlesnake is good. Very bony and sweet. Damn good with beer.
Cody was right . you would want fluids to consume before you ate it.
Teti is a wimp. A Real snake eater would have caught that serpent with his bare hands.
Some idiot this morning cut in front of a beer truck driver on an off-ramp. Beer truck driver tried to avoid hitting the bad driver. Truck flipped.
25,000 gallons of Leinenkugel on the pavement.
Pity.
That is outrageous!
Oh, the humanity! It really is true – The good DO die young.
would explain all the pebble bits stuck to my tongue….
Just a parting thought:
One could certainly consider Joe’s relative unimportance by the way this thread quickly devolved.
“One could certainly consider Joe’s relative unimportance by the way this thread quickly devolved.”
Joe? Who the hell is Joe? I thought this thread was about snakes. Is one of them named Joe?
I thought it was about snakes, also. Snakes are the villains of one of my stories. Not Earth snakes, but Snakes. Big, ugly, stupid, but they could easily make a meal out of some TV-star idiot.
I think the late Frank Herbert beat you to that storyline, Ex-PH2. (smile)
Those were sandworms, Hondo, a natural, native species of Arrakis.
My Snake villains are a bipedal, genetically engineered species constructed of human, reptile, and avian DNA.
Is their natural habitat the halls of Congress?
Yes. It’s true. They are all aliens, they come from planet Barstow, and the Greys are their inbred slaves.
I’ve seen ’em.
More titty, I mean Teti.
This dude is good.

No mention of him stealing, though.
I wonder if he knows Alex Popovic?
Triple Canopy = The Top Secret Contractor .. i’ll wait outside for the black Helicopters to show up. There isn’t anything secret about this idiot !
You’re shitting me, right?
Yes, Triple Canopy it is. Told to me by a very reliable source.
I have some experience from the legal side of the house with military and civilian personnel engaged in what Teti describes in the article… I cannot recall one person who speaks so openly and cavalierly as Teti. That’s a huge red flag for me. I get that he’s promoting a reality show, but the civilians who did the real civilian work simply don’t speak this way nor do they do reality shows. It’s inappropriate and improper. I seriously question his credentials as a contractor based on my own experience in this field.
JAGC: another possibility is that the guy did in fact once do that type of work, but now believes he will never do that type of work again.
I won’t speculate on the “why”, and I have no idea if that’s the case or not. But IMO that scenario could also explain his somewhat looser-than-the-norm tongue.
Hondo, your speculation prompts me to believe that Bigstuff Joey tetsless may have compromised the safety of the group he was working with and was sent packing, back to the US. And upon arrival, was told by TPTB that his position was being ‘deleted’.

Again, this tells me every single thing I need to know about this show. What a dipshit! The snake clip is classic btw!
Something tells me this idiot couldn’t survive in a real emergency. He’s giving out completely bogus advice and doing everything wrong. It’s people like this that gets other people killed.
I learn more survival tips watching The Walking Dead. Which btw is the reason I’ve asked for a crossbow and lessons for Mother’s Day. Heh!
He is an oily self-promoter. He MAY (or not) have been a “high speed” civilian contractor doing “high speed” missions. So what? Who cares? Keep it to yourself, like 99.99999999% of real combat veterans do.

Could this be a problem?
Anyone ever hear of CIA Special Activities?
FOIA that and see what you get. Nothing. The guy never lied. He said all he could say.
Have you ever heard of a non-disclosure form? If he was in one of those units he would have signed one. And, if it was as elite as he says it was he would not be able to even admit to being involved with them.Those groups do not take scrubs, just saying…
As a former spook (intelligence analyst), Joe Teti is full of shit, plain and simple. Sorry to re-hash a blog that has been dormant for a few months. One does not simply say, I was in a uber secret operator group, and that is all I can say about it. If he was legit and spouting off about that specific group, he would be snatched up quick as hell and tortured for all his super secret information. He reminds me of the assholes who would get a few drinks in them and start spouting off shit to sound cool and get laid,total douche bag…
Do not be sorry.
Teti is a shitbag who craves attention.
And attention is what he is receiving….
i SAW THE BIGGEST FREAKEN SNAKE IN MY BUNKER AT LZ OASIS IN VIETNAM IN 68 i STILL GET NIGHTMARES from that dam thing.
