A Long Island man was arrested after he allegedly posed as a soldier and scored a bump-up to a first-class plane seat from New York to the Dominican Republic. Rock Diaz, 22, had the basic look—he was wearing a standard Army uniform—but he flubbed the details, the New York Post reports. When he was asked his rank, his answer didn’t match the staff sergeant insignia he was wearing; his POW patch was in the wrong place; and his dog tags offered an amusing misspelling, emblazoned with “USA Marines Corp.”
“If you knew anything about the military and you looked at him, you could tell he wasn't really a soldier,” said a policeman. It’s not the first time Diaz has tried the stunt: He once used his fake uniform to land a visit to a jet cockpit. He’s now been charged with second-degree impersonation, though he maintains he “never asked” for special treatment. “The stewardess offered me a new seat and I asked why? They explained it to me in English and I did not understand,” he said. (More US Army stories.)
