Larry Warren was On Duty- Part 2

David Young has not heeded the warnings of those trying to prevent him turning himself into a public laughing stock. First he tried to convince us that Larry Warren was not on duty when the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident happened, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/03/larry-warren-was-on-duty.html. Now he reckons Larry was not even a qualified security guard. David has once again been joined by his collaborator Donald Laisure to propose some more claims. First of all, they once more bring up that old chestnut of Larry faking his documents. This is because Larry is listed on his D Flight assignment form, dated December the 3rd, as an Airman First Class. Donald thinks that it's not possible for him to have achieved that rank so soon after his first deployment. His title should simply have been Airman, as it was when he passed out of training on October the 28th 1980. It takes six months for a recruit to reach the level of A1C, which means Larry should only have been able to be called Airman First Class in late March at the earliest. However Larry has a photo of himself at a social event in February 1981 wearing his dress uniform; he was part of the honour guard. (This also disproves Col. Halt's assertion that Larry was on punishment duty, cleaning up rubbish etc.) It distinctly displays the US Air Force A1C badge on his arm that is illustrated above. Source: https://youtu.be/qpW_HX-neuk?t=5654; also see illustration below. This means it must be possible to reach A1C in a shorter time period than six months, from which we must conclude that Donald's timeline is actually not evidence Larry's document is faked. The same goes for "PRP", the qualification to allow a serviceman to work with nuclear weapons.

Donald Laisure notices some other discrepancies between his own paperwork and Larry's welcome letter to RAF Bentwaters-Woodbridge. Both men are told to report for duty to a Sergeant Kiner when they arrive in the UK; yet according to Larry's letter, Sgt. Kiner gets into his office at 7.30 AM while with Donald it is 8 AM. This is a discrepancy, but it could be explained by Sgt. Kiner's office hours being altered slightly. Isn't that a more likely explanation? This happens regularly in any large institution. David and Donald bring up a few more technicalities like that which, in my view, can be explained in similar terms. It is very speculative to use them as evidence that Larry allegedly forged these forms. They do present a second group photo, this time with just four other men, and it's a lot clearer than the last one. It has the caption: "Heading back to the US in May 1981. Larry Warren with Greg Battram, Larry Walls and two members of D Flight." Don does not recognize any of these men as being members of D Flight. Again, this is a weak point that can be explained through other causes than fraud. Anyway, the caption was written by Peter Robbins, not Larry. Then the two men really clutch at straws when they highlight what they claim is a mistake Larry made mixing up a photograph of security police at RAF Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire with those at Bentwaters. Who doesn't make errors like that occasionally? However, Larry says he didn't even make that mistake at all. He just said he didn't recognize the people in it. The Capel Green social media team have also said: "We chose this image to represent what a flight team looked like back in the day, no claim was made that it was Bentwaters, it is marked as D flight 1980 Upper Heyford, but it sure has produced some great comments. Also we liked it because of the M60 on the right hand side, some people have claimed that you guys never had access to such weapons! Thanks all." David and Donald also claim that Larry doesn't know how to handle a service rifle because he holds it wrongly. Their basis for this is not any old photo of Larry actually in the USAF, it is a single publicity photo from the location shoot of Capel Green, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/09/capel-green-update.html. However, there are other photos in that series of Larry holding the weapon correctly, in fact he was coaching the actor playing his younger self how to avoid common errors you sometimes see in films with military scenes. There is another photo of Larry holding the prop correctly. Donald also criticizes Larry's actor for wearing his beret wrongly. Donald and David obviously belong to the Kevin Randle School of Cinematic Purity. So what if the actor's beret is worn incorrectly? How does this effect whether or not Larry is a liar? Besides that, a later shot shows Larry helping the young actor fold his beret flap down in the correct manner. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTgXY2wxlrE. I really hope that this tiresome rigmarole soon comes to an end; however, I will be speaking publicly to refute any deception made about Larry Warren's involvement in the Rendlesham Forest incident as and when required, and so David Young and his fellow detractors had better learn to expect that.
