Actually, it's a really good thing that he isn't in a squadron anymore...must have done an awesome job to not even rate a NAM or a mission commander qual on his way out the door. But if you go to his web-site you get to at least see a guy plug his business in uniform while apparently still on active duty.

Interesting way to announce your exit from the Naval service

You guys are merciless! 
(I was section leader of my OCS class for I think two whole days... expertly leading from the front to get everyone to PT, chow, and academics... on time and on target)
@slug: yep, concur. Most of my own FitReps and award citations are part reality, part exaggeration, and sometimes part comedy.

And now I've stared deep into the eyes of the new poster-boy of douchebags...chilling.
You mean like when he said that "he earned the highly coveted US Navy 'Wings of Gold"? That can't be true, cause we all know they just give em way like candy, right?
Because clearly the release was written with those with knowledges in mind. You're pretty quick to pull the trigger on the labels even though, as you say, you've never heard of him.Brett said:
How do you know? Besides, at his level, I'd expect at least a Navy COM.Short said:
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.
I just did, and HO - LI - SHIT. The press release pales in comparison to the awesomeness that is that video. Clearly, this man needs to harness those mad entrepreneurial skills and put together a steel cage match between himself and Anthony Robbins.
I'd shell out for that.
A NAM is a standard EOT out of a squadron, way it is, way it will be. I know because I did a sea tour in Prowlers, and thus know what guys leave with. Guys get COMs out of high profile shore tours, again, provided they do the job passably well. I'll go ahead and open my trap as I know the guy, and CIVPAC is welcome to him.
What squadron is he in?
From what I can tell he did the training and the deployments, so yeah, he can call himself a Naval Aviator. Good God, it's not like the dude raped a little boy. I'd say he's earned the right to put a countdown clock on his website. Do you remember when you were waiting to ship out to OCS? I'm sure you were counting the days. The same thing happens when you get out. Counting the days and hours down doesn't make you any less of a Naval Officer or aviator.
Sure I guess we can't text and drive... but at least the CoC hasn't come down on blogging and driving
after 1:15 he starts drivng.. and if you look on his blog on his website, he does all his blogs like this. I'm just getting the video from Youtube. "1st View" yea!
Yes.
I've got an old squadron mate that is doing the same type of shameless self promotion....not sure what happened to this guy.
