SGM charged with stolen valor?

Wondering what people know on sgm Perry McNeil. I personally served with him years ago. They claimed he wore a ranger tab and went through ranger school as well as pathfinder. I never once saw him for years wear either one of them.. figured that some of you guys might have recently served with him. People have been bashing him and honestly it's disgusting in my opinion.

I think that certain people are being targeted as part of the draw down.

Just look at all the reliefs going on these days. I have a hard time believing that all these people are as bad as what is being reported.

He may have been an outstanding NCO when you served with him, hell he may still be an outstanding NCO. The fact of the matter is he was tried under a Summary Court Martial and found guilty of falsifying official documents, wearing unauthorized awards, and lying. He wasn't given a "bad rap", he was investigated and found guilty.

I personally do not know him but, he brought all the bashing on himself. He did not live up to the Army Values and his character is in serious question. How many NCOs did not get selected for promotion because his record looked better than theirs so, he was selected over them? He went against everything that NCOs are supposed to be, blatantly ignoring the NCO Creed and Army Values.

Personally, I think he got off light on the punishment. He doesn't deserve to continue being a NCO.

Bad rep and not living the army values. Why a crock of bullshit. That is all the army values are. All NCOs do whatever they have to in order to get ahead. They all lie they all cheat they all steal.
No one here can tell me they have never seen falsified paperwork on a chapter.

McNeill did wear the ranger tab in 03 when he wa my platoon sergeant. But you have never met a more honorable and professional NCO than him.
Ok he fucked up. Well maybe someone loss some paperwork. It doesn't matter. Anytime court martial proceedings are brought against you it's more likely your going to lose.

According to the charges he wore both the Ranger Tab and the Pathfinder Badge wrongfully and without authority on multiple occasions: on or between March 4, 2011, and Feb. 28, 2014. It also says he submitted an official record to the Centralized Selection List Board for the fiscal year Active Component and U.S. Army Reserve Active Guard Reserve Brigade/Battalion Command Sergeant Major and Key Billet Sergeant Major Board, a falsified enlisted record brief stating he had graduated from Ranger School in 1994.

I think CSM Private RallyPoint Member got all the important points except one.

It's what's inside the uniform that counts, not what's on it.

A badge never packed a parachute, or did JMPI, or fixed a rerouted static line, or taught marksmanship, or counseled someone to become a better soldier, or stood on the wall between our country and the barbarians.

No idea, unknown to me- is this coming from the Stolen Valor group?
