Consequences will never be the same.

I'll bet he didn't expect the military to take notice

1) What is a TBI for non-military folk?

2) How do you put in nine years and only have one month in Afghanistan?

What is TBI? Also, dude needs to Have some serious smack down for lieing about a war injury.

I had to burn poo in Iraq.

Traumatic Brain Injury.

I hope asplodes on stage - d-ckhead.

TBI = Traumatic Brain Injury

I know that article was in Stripes, and they assume their readers already know. But the first time you reference TBI, you also need to write "traumatic brain injury".

This is like the country music equivalent of rappers claiming to have been involved in lots of violent crime and having hard childhoods.

Tat'dGreaser: Scumbag

I met a lot of guys that claimed to have been in Vietnam. If you asked them too many questions, they'd say "It's classified", even 20 or more years later.

One dufus told me he flew B-52's out of Danang.

MattyFridays: 2) How do you put in nine years and only have one month in Afghanistan?

National Guard + supply specialist

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone or every unit goes for extended periods of time.

There's another story that was on Gothamist yesterday about a SEAL impersonator who ran another con and ended up assaulting a girl.

I can't understand people who have such low self esteem that they have to stoop to the level to impersonate.

I can understand the reasoning why *young* men may do it, because the advantage, is obviously, girls.

But when old men do it, it's heartbreaking because it's just so pathetic.

I remember a couple of impersonators, not sure if they were on FARK, one young kid was obviously way too fat to be a SEAL, and the other one was an old man who looked like he was wearing a Halloween costume uniform and everyone bought it.

Inflatable Rhetoric: I met a lot of guys that claimed to have been in Vietnam. If you asked them too many questions, they'd say "It's classified", even 20 or more years later.

I remember during Gulf War I (1991), some dude on the news in Minnesota(?) claiming to be a F-111 pilot, flew missions, blew shiat up, etc, etc.
Turns out he was just an E-3 home on leave, and wanted a little fame. The TV station sucked it right up.

What an insult to the soldiers who really do have TBI, although they may not be able to know that they have been insulted.

MattyFridays: I can't understand people who have such low self esteem that they have to stoop to the level to impersonate.

I'm not actually a funny, witty and snarky person, but I impersonate one on Fark.

Hey, give the guy a break! The military is known for cover-ups. For instance, the Navy refuses to acknowledge my role as a marine core soldier because I went on many top-secret missions. They even refused to give me the Presidential Purple Star of Honor after I jumped on a RPG (that's Really Powerful Gernade, for you civilians) to save President Franklin's life when he was visiting us soldiers at our secret base in Albania.

This guy is probably a hero, but there's a conspiracy against him. It's more likely than you think.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Supply Specialist. Maybe he was in charge of those convoys of money paying of Afghan warlords to stop them from shooting at us? Probably a quick detail.

WOW!

Is this you with your marine core???

According to others who served with him in his unit, he was sent home after a month with an ear infection.

Easy, the U.S. has 662 overseas bases in 38 foreign countries. At least.

CSB, An acquaintance of mine did something similar on a much smaller scale.

While he was deployed to Iraq, he claimed to his family that he was shot when clearing a building. His family and friends of course applauded his heroism.

Problem arose when someone else in his unit caught wind of it, and had full knowledge that he was just fine. One anonymous letter to his parents later and the kid got the shame he deserved.

I hope Amurrikas got Talent calls this chode out on the air.

MattyFridays: 2) How do you put in nine years and only have one month in Afghanistan?

I've been in the reserves for 21 years.
Deployed once for 5 months.

Of course that's not me, I'm not that old. That does appear to be one of the marine core Seal instructors (notice the special seal-like costume?). He's demonstrating how a good soldier holds his gun when storming a beachhead on d-days.

Obvious his talent isn't lying.

These are my awards, Mother. From Army.

Know who else stuttered and made it in music? ...

"Ski-bop-bop-badop-bop!"

Of course, to be fair. The military really doesnt' ever like to admit that anyone ever has a TBI.

Of course, to be fair, you'd need one to enlist.

Just wanted to point out, if it was classified 20 years ago, it's still classified now. You are responsible for that information to stay classified for 75 years.

CSB:

Had a guy at a previous client site trying to claim he was former Army. I asked him what his M.O.S. was, and he responded with, "Huh?" Asked again what his M.O.S. was and he asked, "What's that?" so I responded with, "Your military occupational specialty." He next asked, "What's that mean?" By this point I was rolling my eyes, and I replied, "Your job." He says to me with a straight face, "I was a research scientist."

/CSB

He only said that because his real job as a mall SWAT officer is too top secret to talk about.

He'll be quietly removed from the competition to avoid controversy. Can't have the network look like they got snookered. I suspect no mention will ever be made of this on air, not even the fact that he's just "not around" anymore.

So what's his FARK handle, FlyNavy or TheConvincingSavant?

vudukungfu: Of course, to be fair. The military really doesnt' ever like to admit that anyone ever has a TBI. Of course, to be fair, you'd need one to enlist.

There should really be an expression to describe that sort of situation.

Didn't we have a guy like that here a few years ago?
Posted all sorts of crap about his military record until someone actually looked him up and called him out on it?

Some kind of a catch-all phrase...
