Seems like over the past couple of years or so we've seen more and more high speed low drag posers. Add them up and you'd think everyone in the military is a Marine Corps Sniper or SF, or a Navy SEAL, etc etc. I don't understand it. I was never in any branch of the military, but I give respect to anyone that was, no matter what their MOS and how small a part they may have played. I just don't understand why some people have to make up a fantasy about being something they are not. Well, big surprise, there is yet another one. This particular guy is pretty much a complete lunatic, especially if you read his history with this stuff and some of the stunts he's pulled that have temporarily fooled the FBI and others in the past. I'm posting this in the hopes that if someone on this board is in Alaska (where this guy may supposedly still be as far as I can tell), hopefully they might see this and keep an eye out for this douchebag. So here's to helping swing the hammer of justice a little harder at this POS, and hoping it hits him full force in the face:

WHAT'S QUOTED BELOW IS NOT MINE, JUST RE-POSTING TO HELP OUT:
This will be a brief rant about what happened in gizmo's life today:
So, I went to a gun show today with a friend of mine. We were in the mood for some deals, and in general just wanted to go play with some guns.When we get there we immediately notice an individual in ACU's. Since this is on Aug 7th, a Saturday, this came to us as being odd. So, my friend and I both being active duty NCO's start to eye ball this guy and notice his badges and awards. Before I list his extensive record let me describe this individual first. 30-40 yr old white male, approx 300 lbs, Blonde high and tight hair cut and a goofy overall appearance. He was wearing glasses on the back of his head, a belt on the outside of his ACU top full of gadgets and a radio with a hand mic wrapped around him self and clipped on his uniform.
I wanted a closer look at this guy so I told my buddy I would be right back and conducted some good ole fashion recon. He was at the polaris dealer talking to the sales rep about buying 4 quads "for his guys." I jumped in the conversation
Me: Jokingly "4! Can I have one!"
He chuckled and I asked him what unit he was in.
Him:"10th Special Forces."
Me: "Really? What are you guys doing up here?"
Him: "Oh Im just helping out some friends of mine"
I took note of all his uniform bits and pieces and walked away. He went about his business and I later confronted him again and asked him if I could talk to him outside. He and I walked out to the back of the gun show and I began to ask him a series of questions that only an individual with his experience would know. He failed miserably and I then decided to level with him. I produced my ID and asked for his. He told me it was in his car so I said lets go get it. Of course he did not have one and I began to lay into him. I yelled at him for a good 30 minutes and made him remove all the items he had never earned on his uniform. I called him plenty of names and said that he was wearing a uniform that my friends have died in, and that he didn't even deserve to touch one.
This guy began to apologize and back pedal, and asked me not to "tell on him." I began to tear into him and lower his self esteem even more hoping that he attempts suicide tonight.
All in all this is everything he lied about and what he was wearing:
Special Forces Qualification
Ranger Qualification
Airborne Qualification
Combat Infantryman Badge with 2 stars
Senior Parachutist Badge
Air Assault Badge
Military Police Badge
US ARMY Tape
and last but not least, Captain Rank.
Later people came up to me and told me what he had told others about himself:
He has served 20 yrs in the Army
He just came back from a 49 month deployment from Afganaland
He goes back and forth all of the time on "Special Mission"
His numbers referring to himself as an SF officer:
William Clark AKA "Capt Clark" 760-974-6579
This number is a FT Bragg number, so he has wandered around SF land before to buy the phone
William Clark AKA "Maj Green" 910-705-2260
Here are some iphone pics I took:
Everything I made him take off of his uniform

I was angry, he was scared, and I got a good deal on some ammo at the show...
So, How did your day go?
It doesn't take much to figure out how to easily out these types. If someone says they were a SEAL, ask them what BUD/S class they were in and when. Someone says they were SF, ask what group and when. That will give you a timeline that might help you figure out if it was even possible. Ask what MOS they were, and if they can't rattle it off IMMEDIATELY, they are full of sh*t. If for whatever reason a DD214 were involved (say a job application or something), if it's not on there and they claim it, and when asked they say something about it being "super secret" and it couldn't be listed or their records were "lost" somehow......they are full of sh*t. The list goes on. All of the former high speed types I've ever met (a very few) have all been the consummate quiet professional type, many of which you would never have a clue as they don't wear it on their chest.
