I think that's the boy, the last I heard he was discussing housing
accommodations with a local arm of the law. Probably let him go.

last information I've seen is he was held without bail prior to trial.
That was in may 2007


Well, for the reading enjoyment of the general audience, I offer this:

Rumor is she got in a bit of trouble after leaving us for a new post but
I can't confirm it, yet.

That's why I don't want my tax dollars going after the relatively
small cases where some fool is just shooting his mouth off. In the case
of someone who uses fictitious credentials for personal gain or to cause
harm I'd say nail him to the wall.

In the days when all one needed to get a military discount for airfare
I'd see men wearing uniforms who were obviously not authorized. Little
clues like hair length and improper insignia would be missed even by
actual servicemen. I once pointed out to someone with whom I was
traveling an Air Force sergeant who was wearing a WW2 Victory Medal.
This was in the 1970s. The man with whom I was traveling hadn't noticed
and he had been in longer than I had.

Sometimes I wonder what the fakers are thinking. I once saw a soldier
in uniform getting carded by a noncom in front of the Ft. Eustis PX. The
soldier said he didn't have an identity card because he had "only been
in a short while." Maybe he wanted to go shopping and hang out with real
soldiers, but was it really worth the risk, albeit small, of jail time?

I thought you had to have ID or orders? I know they'd put you in First
Class if you were in uniform and there was room.

She was a phony in uniform.

subordinates names, first or last...

Name tags were universal by the sixties, if not before. Hardly a chore
to learn the names of coworkers.

Heck after two years most know the names of subordinates' kids at
least if they've been on deployment together.
