Not defending anyone , but do remember most states have something separate form their national guard, called a state militia or State Military Reserve Force (also known as SMuRF's). Many of those people are former military, don' want to do NG, but still want to help out during disasters, medical issues, and training. They are normally limited to work in their own states. They hold rank, wear uniforms, but their uniform will not say U.S. Army. It will normally have the name of the state they represent. Don't get your self into a contest with some one who a uniform on who may have a tag that says California or Texas on it and a O-6 stuck on it. Often ones I have met are Doctor's, Lawyers, or prior service. They really are an O-6 in the SMuRF's, and somewhere they know a real 1 or 2 star that can help straighten you out.

Colonel?? He's in the wrong fast food joint. Needs to find a KFC where greasy chicken feels more at home.

You would probably have security guards attempting to restrain you from beating the crap out of him. Correct me if I'm wrong SSG Blanco!

1) Ask if he is in the military.
2) Ask to see his ID card.
3a) If he provides one, verify it is current, and legitimate.
3b) If he cannot provide an ID card, confront him about not having an ID card. At this point, he is more than likely guilty of Stolen Valor.
4) Correct his uniform deficiencies using military jargon that only a real military person would know, digging to see if he is guilty of Stolen Valor, and either confirm or deny your suspicions.
5) Follow him around and ensure that everyone he is trying to fool knows he is not a true Service Member, if he is.

@SSG R. Aaron Houde - Why go through all that? You can tell from the get-go this idio's a poser. It's not necessary to go down the checklist.

I have seen some people in my day that, at first glace, would look like posers, but were just, if I may go a little old school, 11 up and 3 down.
I guess, depending on where I am (outside the acceptable radius of an installation) I would jump to conclusions, but assuming often leads to being embarrassed. Valid question, and I always appreciate your advice, 1SG.
