Drathaar,
Ever wonder why my company changed our webpage that you "wished you had taken a screen shot of?" Do you suppose it had anything to do with the fact that that page was posted on this forum along with some really threatening emails to me, and my company was protecting it's employees and interests? Do you think my company took that situation lightly?

Is this something that you, a Federal Officer with the TSA really wants to open up again? Your post above is starting to sound a bit threatening in it's nature. Do you and me BOTH a favor and let that issue drop. Do NOT forget YOUR emails that YOU sent to me as well.

This is a p*ssing contest between me and rug, and I really suggest you NOT try to develop this into some sort of cyberstalking situation as HockeyDad "gently" nudged you and Hooyah about earlier.

Clear?

Okay guys... I'm going to jump in because it's clear to me that you are fighting a losing battle... this has nothing to do with whether adroomi has given adequate proof of his military status, or career/relationship achievements.

You guys are grilling him and quizzing him on his past, over and over again. You are mocking him for claiming a good job, a good education and success in getting the women he wants.

So, here are two possible scenarios:
1) Adroomi is telling the truth. In this world, stranger things than a varied and accellerated military career have happened. People have, believe it or not, gotten good jobs which allow them to travel and meet girls. And, girls have been interested in sleeping with people who take them out and treat them well. If everything he says is true, then you just look stupid asking him to recant it, for memorizing and reposting links and demanding absolute fidelity. It just makes you look incredibly jealous.

2) Adroomi is lying about everything. This is also a possibility. But again, even if he said he popped mother theresa's cherry, you make a fool of yourself for constantly trying to poke holes in his story. You give it more life in trying to refute it, than it would ever have otherwise.

You guys do realize that if you truly didn't believe any of adroomi's stories, then you wouldn't be so wrapped up in trying to disprove it. When you truly think that a guy is making everything up and is pitiful, you just ignore them. This aggressive behavior shows clearly that you consider him in some way a threat. The only way (it seems to me) that he could be a threat (on an internet cigar forum of all things) is if you actually do believe what he says.

I don't really think people think he is a threat. I just think people like teasing a him because he's such a moron. You have to admit he's like that loser in high school that always had to one up everyone. It's just now we're all adults and you can call him on it. So just like always everyone will back off right when he's running scared. Then in another 2 weeks he'll be back doing something else and the same cycle will happen.

They cared so much that they waited how many months to change it? Five, six, eight? No matter, it still showed you working behind the Help desk.

I remember your threats and lies well, as does the TSA, FBI, and the FAA...not to mention GE. But please, humor me. Show me on this thread where I threatened you.

Cyber stalking? You're cracking me up adroomi! Asking you to post a picture in your Captain's uniform is stalking now? Classic adroomi. Get caught in a lie and accuse, threaten, lie some more. You lie so much you can't keep track of them anymore. Luckily other can.

I suppose you're still on your laptop while entertaining your date? Hehe, you kill me! Did you take it in the shower as well? Or did you have it on the terlit and type with one hand?

As for my emails to you, as I remember they were letting you know of the crimes you were comitting and how MY "company" didn't appreciate it. And letting you know what was happening with it over here on this end.

Did folks make rude comments about your photo, or your wife? If no, why do you feel the need to do so to others?

Unless of course Victor was right.

My train is arriving. It's time to log off. I have a dinner date with some colleagues.

The offer to chat via email with you is still open. Of course, cursing me out in an email doesn't quite give the bravado feeling that doing so in a public forum does, but perhaps you'll still make me quiver a bit.

Good luck to you, and I hope I've made you feel better by being your dog to kick.

You realized that in post 210 you defended your behavior by referring to high school activities.... That's not exactly a real support.

You're teasing him for being a moron? I think that's the last thing you should be worried about. Whether he's telling the truth or not, Adroomi has been pretty consistent with his stories (As you can tell from rugs scrapbooking)... I know if I were making **** up I wouldn't be able to remember anything... I'd be telling stories about being somewhere well before I actually graduated highschool... I can't even keep that **** straight when I actually did it. If adroomi is lying, he's doing a good job of writing everything down so that he's consistent. So, teasing him for being a moron seems a bit of a stretch.

You're "teasing" him because you want to knock him down a peg. If you truly pitied him, you wouldn't be trying to knock him down, would you? Again, I go with my first assessment, you're trying to bring him down because some part of you is afraid that what he's saying is the truth, and that is for some reason threatening. You want him to be a regular schmuck like the rest of us, you want to make him cry and say that you're right, that he's been living a lie to make himself look cooler just so you'd talk to him. Because that would make you feel good about yourself.


I've never met adroomi, I don't personally give a rats ass how many women he's slept with or how much he earns. It in no way impacts how many women I've slept with or how much money I earn. (unless he's sleeping with my money and/or earning my women... then we have to have a talk). But I'm amazed at how some people really can't handle hearing about other's lives without trying to turn it to crap.

victor, people would leave him alone if he wasn't such a mean, nasty person. But his constant attacks on people here just piss people off. Nobody has been spared his wrath, women? Nope. Children? Nope. Christians? No way. He is rude, crude, and disgusting. He brings it on himself.

As for posting names, people do it all the time. Just look at half the email addy's posted here. Names all over the place. It no big deal.

Drathaar,

When someone does something mean and nasty, you address the mean and nasty thing they have done (rug referring to adroomi making fun of his children is an example of that, true or not). If Adroomi were mean and nasty, and kept talking about all the overtime he was earning as a trash collector, would you be questioning that? If he talked about how he was promoted faster than anyone else in the spitoon cleaning company, and talked about his participation in the great toilet bowl massacare of 1992, would you keep asking for details? No. Because you'd just think to yourself, whatever, who cares. You may actually feel sorry for him, because it makes you feel good when someone else has a worse job than you. You may still call him an ass for his actions, when he's mean and nasty, but you wouldn't bother to question his impossible (yet really pitiful) background.

As for posting names... yeah people do it all the time. but it's a very important thing to remember, you never post someone elses name. Companies routinely google a name as part of their hiring process these days. If you post his full name, and he's in the process of a job search or meeting with new clients, a google search can direct them here. That puts him in a very difficult situation when he has to explain in a meeting why he has to defend his life to a bunch of jackasses on a cigar forum.

Well, if he claimed to be a trash collector nobody would think he was lying. But when you claim to be on the Board of Directors, collecting million dollar commision checks, zooming through the ranks in the military, be 100 pounds soaking wet and SF...people tend to call you on it. Especially when your company website has you listed working at the Help desk. If I remember right his region was most of Asia.

If he were a nice guy and wasn't constantly putting people down and calling nice people bad names I'm sure nobody would say anything. But he does, so it happens. It shouldn't come as a surprise.

Adroomi, re#194

I see you had to wait half an hour to makes sure I went to bed, couldn't keep playing our little game?

As far as you being a paratrooper you NEVER were. First of all a paratrooper never calls himself that. I was Airborne. Most legs (non airborne personal) knew this. Only civilians asked if I was a paratrooper. It's an airborne unit, not a paratrooper unit. Had you ever been in an airborne unit you would have said "remember I was Airborne too"

Second, everyone on jump status knows the rules about jumping. How often one must jump to stay current, how many jumps needed to go to jump master school, what happens if they refuse to exit the aircraft, and that they can voluntarily terminate their jump status until the moment they are listed on the jump manifest for an upcoming jump (terminating at this point is the same as refusing in the door and is a punishable offense).
Once someone voluntarily terminates their jump status they are removed from the unit and give up the right to ever go back on jump status.

Had you even went to jump school you would have know this as they explain it in great lengths.

I could ask you a few questions and really put the matter to rest but I have too much faith in your ability to google until you could find the answers.

Just as HOG knows you were never a ground operator due to the lack a **** in pants (I think that's how he put it) I know you were never Airborne.

Never Airborne means no Halo or Special Forces or ranger training.


That you have tried in desperation to turn this into a thread about me is understandable as you are really getting hammered here but it won't work.

How about a bit of speculation about why a guy that made O-3 in the legal minimum time (42 months) and was the only captain to get a company commander spot the same day (except in combat of course) in the history of the Army would leave in 4, 5, or 6 months (depending on which of you tales we use)?? An injured Captain would take longer then that to evaluate medically and be out processed.

Must have been something that made the Army want you gone fast. We know you are very entrepreneurial and smoke a lot of dope... you weren't dealing to the enlisted men were you? Get burned on a piss test? In bed with the general's daughter? Son?

And yes, your comment about hiding behind my wife and kids does sound familiar, you use it all the time to try and piss me off.

It's how I know you're desperate.

The only reason people attack Adroomi is that he does not support the war in Iraq. He was quite liked on these boards over the years right up until that moment.

The training that we have provided dictates that when someone does not support the war in Iraq, you start with a simple comment like "When did you serve?" to imply that non-military people should be second class citizens. Once you find out they served, their careers and character must be assassinated until they change their mind and support the war in Iraq or are destroyed. As I said before, people are just following their training but I'm a bit worried that we can't turn it off because we created it too well.

One day we'll turn the machinery up on those that speak out against anthrax vaccinations for our troops. Anthrax vaccinations are an important part of the War on Terror and actively encouraging members of the armed forces to refuse the shots and get court-martialed is treasonous. We just haven't turned up the heat yet.

HD re: 227

I gotta call BS here. I've stated numerous times that I think GWB is an idiot and I voted for his dumb ass.

I've also disagreed with the way the whole Iraq war is being handled and spoke up about how Cheney's former buddies at KBR (a subsidiary of Haliburton) are making MILLIONS on the war.

Nobody has slammed me for it.

While I have to agree with SteveR@CBid that adroomi does get sucked into threads for no apparent reason at times, there are also times he brings it on himself.

As you know, I am active duty Navy. I have over 19 years in and will retire this year, honorably, as a Senior Chief (E-8) which is certainly something to be proud of. I have no reason to be jealous of adroomi's military career, and even I am skeptical of all the exploits he claims. It doesn't bother me enough that I keep a running tally of the stories he tells, but I do shake my head sometimes.

I'd still like to meet him for a cigar and a drink. Just to get the measure of the man myself, in person. I have a lot of respect for wjmiskelly and he seems to think he's a good guy, but he's met him in person.

I do not know Adroomi other then from these boards...

As a matter of fact I do not agree with most of his positions on matters (sorry adroomi)...But he has been called out many many times and has been asked and provided detailed answers to your questions, you may not like his answers but he provided them when asked...

Why is it that you feel that you do not then need to provide answers to his questions...

I usually stay out of these arenas, but this is starting to get out of hand...there seems to be a group of "people" who just cant seem to "let it go" and thats fine but if you are going to ask / demand answers then you need to answer his questions also...

And just for the record I spent a total of 10 years in the Army/Reserves...or maybe it was 9.42 years or it could have been around 10.78 years it was a long time ago so I'll just stick with 10 years if thats ok with you guys...

I Love my wife, I have 2 kids, I'm pro-Gun,Pro-Iraq War, Pro Abortion(under certain circumstances),Pro-Breast Cancer Research (in fact I try and help Mrs.Tank do a Breast exam daily)..Anti-Gay(not that theres anything wrong with that),Anti-Da Bears/ViQueens and still willing to sit down and have a cigar and a drink with anyone on these Boards...even a Bears or ViQueens Fan...

So either answer his questions too or quit asking him to answer yours..!!...Scheeesch...!!

I believe the term is Quid-pro quo...you get one he gets one, you get one he gets one...see the pattern here..??

Rugrunner,
You never said you ETS'd. You said you got out because you terminated your jump status.

Here's what I think....I could be wrong. If I am correct me:

1. Your unit was set to deploy for 30 days to NTC in California.

2. You didn't want to go because you put your own personal needs above those of the Army's, and used your wife and kids as an excuse (sound familiar?).

3. You did something stupid (faked an illness or injury) to get "PULLED" from jump status (NOBODY terminates their own status....You CANNOT do that...don't forget, I was a paratrooper too) so that you wouldn't have to deploy.

4. By doing what you did in #3 above, you effectively became redundant to your unit and they booted you out of it and tried reclassifying you to another job (thus your statement that you didn't like legland...otherwise known as support units) which you failed to do effectively as well.

5. You did NOT choose to leave the service, but rather were put out under Chapter 14 or something similar as being unfit for military duty....a quitter.

These assumptions of mine are further made evident by the fact that you left the Army with only an AAM. With 6 years in, you SHOULD'VE had two Good Conduct Medals, had you simply done your job. They are automatic for soldiers that meet the BARE MINIMUM requirements.

You show a great deal of lack of respect for authority, inability to get along in a team environment, and jealousy of those that have more than you (even though they earned it).

My career is so interesting to you because like all other things in our lives, I seem to be ahead of you (at least to you....in all honesty, we are both successful in one way or another).

I put guys like you out of the service quite a few times Rug.

You quit your job because you didn't want to go to California for 30 days.

You let your buddies down and used your wife and kids as an excuse to get out.

I bet you hated shining your boots too, right?"


Wow! The way you typed the above makes it sound like you have "been there and done that". Seriously is that how you got your discharge are was it a section 8.

MACS(SW),

You get a free pass because you are active duty and served in Iraq. Once you're out and over time if the war and its criticism goes on, your story will become one of a rear echelon guy who doesn't understand anything and will be discredited. That's just what we do. The tolerance level for military personnel who come back from Iraq and criticise is very low. You're still untouchable right now but don't criticize too much. Part of me thinks that maybe we shouldn't have built up the attack machinery quite so much but it is an ends. Divided we stand and that was the plan.

By the way, as a shareholder of Kellogg, Brown & Root and Halliburton, I thank you for your service. (I get a free pass for saying crap like that because it is completely in line with President George W Bush and the Pentagon. If it weren't party-line blessed, I would get absolutely hammered for it.) Halliburton actually is a wonderful company but it gets a bad rap and is hated.

Adroomi has to be attacked. It all started with Iraq. His pictures which we all loved so much and encouraged more of all of sudden became pictures of hookers, whores, and drugged women in our minds. Tales of Adroomi's exploits which we also used to encourage now all became fiction in our minds. All of it had to be attacked and destroyed. I've posted on these boards for around 6+ years so most here are newbees in my eyes. Adroomi is one of the few still here that was here before me. I watched him go from loved to hated purely because of Iraq. Everything else is an offshoot from that moment. If Adroomi would have just kept his mouth shut like he was supposed to, things would be different. Adroomi takes free speech too seriously and hasn't been silenced even with threats that would qualify as cyberstalking under a number of state laws. It is hard to turn the attack machinery off.

I don't know if his tales or his military record is accurately portrayed. It would seem hard to keep up nested lies for years. In my line of work, the travel I do, and who I work for/with, it all seems perfectly plausible. I just don't post my tales.

...But when I say George W Bush will be immortalized on Mount Rushmore and we ought to send 100,000 more troops to Iraq immediately, there really is nothing to discredit.

HockeyDad, dude you are reading waaaay to much into it. LOL

People don't like him because at some point he turned into an egotistical, arrogant, self absorbed, overbearing prick. It has absolutely nothing to do with his stance on Iraq. Personally I've always though him to be an ass nut he was rather benign so I let it pass and then something happened to him. Don't know what it was, don't really care at this point and I have asked him what it was.

I wasn't here back when adroomi's posts were encouraged. I think it has been just over 2 years for me here... maybe close to three, I am not sure, to be honest.

I'm not obsessed with the guy. To be frank, I don't much care other than the entertainment factor.

But, as a person who has traveled his area of the world extensively, I DO find some of his stories... a bit 'exaggerated'. But whatever. I ain't losing sleep over it.

I've been known to embellish a 'sea story' or two, but not so much so that I insult the intelligence of the listeners.

I enjoy this site because it is entertaining and I have met some very good people here. I'll be meeting some of them in person, finally, in Vegas.

Like Tank, I'd be willing to sit and smoke with just about anyone here.

I don't think there is anyone on these boards who I wouldn't have a beer and a cigar with anytime. I don't get wrapped up in all the hate but it is a decent cross section of our current society.

My experience has been that military and fishing stories often have a bit of embellishment. Especially the Air Force guys...they always lower their golf scores by at least three strokes!
