(26,405 posts)I knew served with several people who changed from the Air Force to the Navy. Should have thought of that!! Guess I'm getting old.
Admittedly, my mind always jumps to someone like Chuck Kaczmarczyk who was a mostly state side, non combat Vietnam era Air Force veteran but somehow got away with totally embellishing his career with forged documents and claimed to have been a war hero who was awarded a Purple Heart and many other medals. He also worked with veteran related charitable groups AND swindled the government out of around $900,000 worth of veteran's disability benefits.
He finally screwed up when he ran in to some men who served with him. They were pretty shocked at his 'accomplishments'.
Oh, and he murdered his best friend. A man who WAS a Vietnam combat veteran.
