Interesting way to announce your exit from the Naval service

[Recovering LSO]

You guys crack me up. I remember a few years back when a Marine aviator (IP type) got out and did something similar, we had a few guys here on AW that jumped on the bandwagon to belittle the dude. Pretty fucked up in my opinion. Unless you have personal knowledge of the guy and the kind of officer/aviator he was or wasn't, keep your trap shut. Anything else is just speculation, and uninformed speculation at that.

Dude, get over yourself. I know the guy. I know his story. The guy enjoys pimping himself out - that's fine, do what you've gotta do - but, Steve, you're being a bit sanctimonious telling people not to ridicule this bit of buffoonery.

Big fan of the NFO delineating the difference between his day and night traps. Nice work!

The saddest thing about this is that he seems to really believe in this "be your own boss/harness the internets" scam.

All I had to do was read the disclaimer on the website to know it was new age snake oil.

I"ve personally got a problem with the guy acting as a shill for his outside company while he's still ACDU and wearing a flight suit. You want to put that down as your past credentials, fine. Don't do it on video for your own self aggrandizement when you havn't even gotten out yet. I guarantee that if this guy had been in my wardroom, I probably never would have hung out with him outside of the squadron. AND... his grammar fucking sucks. Easily replicatable/ duplicatable??....YGBSM

edit for Propstop: think JfuckinP

My wife and I envision ourselves entrepreneurs. At some point at least. Ask me what we want to sell, and I'll tell you. Please notice that he mentions "Carbon Copy Pro" in his video above. Go to Carbon Copy Pro's website, and there is no real definitive message of what they produce, or what service they provide. Lots of claims about how big the market is, who you can reach, etc... Sounds like a typical pyramid scheme that this guy has bought into.

Jack, go fuck yourself.

Good for you. I'm willing to bet that most of the folks spouting the hate don't know him personally, and that's my point.

Steve, you're being a bit sanctimonious telling people not to ridicule this bit of buffoonery.

So you're saying I've done the same in the past? To whom? A bit of reading comprehension would serve you well here. I'm not telling people not to ridicule the dude, just the ones that don't know what the fuck they're talking about. If you know him, hey...batteries release.

Is that when you disconnect the battery at an airshow so the kiddies don't accidentally start the APU?

Now that I would agree with. But I'm not gonna bust the guy's balls for leveraging the internet to market himself.

Dude's an R-tard; this probably ends in tears or a jail sentence. Thanks Mumbles for pointing out the whole "wearing a uniform for shilling for a business thing".

And so it goes. Don't like what someone has to say - just tell 'em to go F themselves. Nice.

On the plus side, I don't think he can critique your reading comprehension for this reply.

First you tell me I'm condescending (because you don't like with what I'm saying) and now I need to get over myself (because you don't like with what I'm saying). And I'm the sanctimonious one? Wtf? Clearly you have some beef with me. Did I not share my notes enough with you in college or something?

Yeah - definitely contrary to the DoD's ethics guidance and arguably a UCMJ violation - just an opinion.

Using your uniform to leverage any product, opinion, organization is classless and distasteful and illegal IMHO. Same reason active duty officers aren't pitchmen for Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman OR go to tea parties dressed in uniform. This guy breeched a code...and I hope he's reprimanded. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he gets a knock on his door from a DoD IG this week. And the countdown to freedom clock that this clown has on his page IS Uber Toolishness.

Maybe this asshole would be more convincing in his pluggery if he were auto-tuned like Billy Mays!
