I actually talked to the guy on the phone circa 2006 when he was sending threatening legal-sounding cease and desist emails to Websan about how we were all slandering his good reputation. Absolute tool.
Is the "Head" call sign shown on his website a classic tool retcon?

Can we add the NewDay USA RADM to this esteemed list of grifters?

(Sidenote, what's this trend with mid-word capitalization? It's happening a lot with UAS: FireScout, TigerShark, etc. It's really dumb, unless you're a 15-yo picking a gamertag.)

Jesus Christ...I don't want to hear one more word from this guy about mortgage shit (either on commercials, or my mailbox)

It's amazing that retired 0-7's and above do this shit. It's embarrassing.
Especially since NewDay has been accused of fraudulent practices multiple times by the CFPB.


You would think he wouldn’t want his name associated with that, but I guess money talks.

This dude started popping up on my various feeds. He frequently appears in public wearing Naval Aviator wings on lapel.

He touts himself as a former "Marine gunship pilot" and a "Vietnam Veteran".

What's the real story here? He seems a bit questionable.

Holy fuck..29 accommodations (medals/ribbons/badges) Sign me up!

His teeth are very white also...

With teeth like Gary Busey, how could you say no?

Sadly, I know of Kiyosaki- he's an alumnus of my alma mater, the USMMA, was a helicopter pilot for something like one tour, and the school brought him in to talk to us at a dinner engagement once. Speaks well like many con-men. I actually read his book back then, but I can honestly say I got nothing out of it other than a realization that a lot of "business men" are full of shit. Kiyosaki's "poor dad" got raked over the coals though. At least he didn't try to get me to sell any Amway products. Ugh.

Side point: What's up with everyone saying "grifter" now? We used to just call them confidence tricksters or con-men. Is there a difference?

All this talk of Naval Aviators grifting made me think of our old pal, and God's gift to fighter pilots everywhere, Ed Rush, and I wondered what he had been up to. Turns out, his website details an "exploratory committee" to run for President in 2024, with a big red DONATE button. Hilariously predictable... that mindset is a form of mental illness, in my constitutionally protected non-expert opinion. :D
Are you implying I shouldn’t buy this?

How does one get to be " the #1 instructor in the Marine Corps for 1-against-1 dogfighting"?
