This is getting all too common.
KALISPEL, MONTANA - Glacier International Airport, is an airport in the northwestern corner of Montana. Earlier this week, Erik Whelan was spotted by airport police walking through the airport in uniform. A few of the officers were Veterans and noticed his uniform looked off, so they approached him at the security gate.
Once approached they noticed he was wearing CPT bars, Ranger tab, CIB, Airborne, among other things. When they began questioning him, he showed an old expired military ID. When he realized he was caught, he used the excuse that he was going to see his girlfriend and she wanted to see him in uniform. They made him remove all of his patches and tabs, as in Montana it is not illegal to pose as a Soldier.
They sent us the info on Mr. Whelan and we began to do some digging, we found his Facebook and he also had photos of him in uniform on it as well.
As you can see in the below photo, he is a Corporal instead of a Captain.
