Eclipse

The story has been floating around since last month.







Some of the details are sketchy, but apparently he showed up to an Army  basic training graduation and then his day
got bad from there.  A couple sites say he was a USAF vet in the early 2000's with a questionable discharge
and nothing approximating that grade.

Clearly a young man with serious psychological issues.  Very sad.

Not to mention a CIB with two stars and command pilot wings!

I forgot the Desert tan boots with Blues...

And also the beating he's about to get from what I assume is someone in the Army in the last picture...

Apparently that is also a green beret on the table.

More than one site says this was at Fort Benning and went to complain about enlisted personnel hassling him.
That's when the fun started.

Wonder how much ordering 'one of everything' cost him?   :o

Persona non grata

He was there to see his step -son who is in the Army and happens to be older than him.  This guy definitely needs some mental health treatment help . You should have seen his FB page before he took it down.  Rumor has it that he was possibly a loadd master(not confirmed)

Those aren't Command Pilot Wings, they're Chief Enlisted Crewmember Wings.
Enlisted wings are round in the middle while Officer wings use a shield shape in the center.

Okay, this guy is so obviously mentally impaired that I wasn't even disgusted or angry, but merely sad.

But PHall pointing out that he had such great attention to detail made me chuckle. As if wearing enlisted crewmember wings with all that made him more legit.

Actually, those are about as close to legit as he got.

You can give him one, but I'd bet money he wouldn't be back after you give him a fingerprint card.

No, I earned my Chief Enlisted Crewmember Wings, thank you very much. Just takes 15 years in the Air Force and 10 years of flying to get them.

I don't think he was referencing you, PHall.

SarDragon, unless I'm missing something history-wise, the nametag is not actually his name.

Nickolas J. ANDROSKY is the poser's name. Check USAFAux's link above.

No, I wasn't!!! That was a bit unclear, my apologies. I know you are real deal USAF retired, PHall.

I meant that the poser seemed to think if he wore enlisted wings on the right uniform, it made up for all the other ridiculous ribbons and awards he was claiming.

I got a different result (?).

The Binford thing is one of SarDragon's trademarks. It implies that the guy is a "tool".
Geez, didn't you ever watch Tool Time? >:D
