I have a feeling the keyboard is a vacation from something much worse.
I actually feel sorry for him... ?
I'm trying to, but he just keeps on acting like a clueless dick. I think it's the result of a lifetime mired in delusions of adequacy.
Same.... I’ll still Troll him... I do have “going to hell” standards to live up to.
The guy is a loser, trolling him makes you no better than him. Who's to say he isn't trolling the whole damn internet and you guys just fell for it?
My $.02.
My $.02.
Having at laugh at some loser, makes me the same. Nope, flawed logic.
Paparock's profile on LRH is no more. Seems he was item #3 on the Monday morning agenda. TTFN.
He's like a Will Ferrell character whos opinion of himself are so far from reality it's comical. From his more egregious embellishments it's clear that he is just spinning his yarns and gets carried away. Piling on bon fides and claims about expertise mean you cannot disagree with his "expert" opinion. I'm sure he wishes he could take some of it back, but this is the internet, where every keystroke is digitally tattooed on your forehead forever. That, and that he's ready to pull pistols over any slight invites,...no it DEMANDS, ridicule. It cries out and begs for it. If he was just a nice guy who liked to assume a persona on the internet it would be easy to let him be, but that's not the case. He plays a hardass who then goes and cries to mama if anybody stands up to him. That's the definition of a bully, or as my kid said when he was four, "A booly". Beating up weaklings who can't defend themselves and are scared ain't cool. Beating up shit talking bullies is a lot of fun. If they don't get beat up they will keep doing it, and be stuck there all their lives. Beating up bullies is preforming as much as service to them as to all the people they bully. We love Papparock and want to see him grow as a human being. We ridicule and berate him because we care.
Man, I'm off for a two shooting event, and all this happens while I'm away. WTF? I missed most of it...
The satellite tracking of the wolves was pretty entertaining...
Yeah, because the "No Such Agency" is out there dedicating space birds to license plate identification of poachers.
LOL! Exactly (never mind the physics of overhead collections and all that pertains to tasking a bird).
"I gave up hunting many years ago but don't mind those that do as long as they are moral and ethical in their ways. I've seen enough killing in my lifetime of animals and men. I was once a man of violence but lost my lust for it. It gains us little if anything but sorrow, regret, and pain. No one ever wins. I have regrets and miss so many who are no longer with me. Their faces often haunt me as I wonder why I am still here and they are gone. So many younger than me."

There’s slot of badness in the world.

For those of you who are inclined to feel sympathy and have misgivings about the rough treatment that Rocky Latham receives, consider this:
https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/10-round-max.1628695/
He's misidentified as a Vietnam vet, and in his next post he does absolutely nothing to clarify the fact that he wasn't in-country. Nothing.
To me, it's stolen valor, and no amount of hardship in his life can forgive him for cheapening the sacrifice of others.
I've said enough. May we never suffer his presence again.

His stories keep getting better with each telling. He's the firearm community's version of Frank Dux.
I am thinking of creating a Paparock list of self-proclaimed accomplishments and expertise, to serve as a reference, because I think for those teetering on the fence, once you see the Dead Sea Scrolls-length list of self-important/delusional, Walter Mitty-type accomplishments, it will be clear that what we have in Papa “Phoenix Eye” Rock Cal is an individual who is not exactly a sympathetic figure.
OK, Some how I was off the forum when all this happened but holy Sh*t, this is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen here or on any other forum. I don't post much but have followed for a few years. You guys are masters. I'll make sure I don't take off that much time again.
PS I'm disappointed TacticalDilhole took that avatar. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Too funny. carry on.

Yessir, exactly my sentiments.
Well said.
Ok- so let’s get right to the biographical sketch of the SH version of the “Most Interesting Man in the World”, one Rocky Wayne Latham, aka Paparockcal, Paparock, Papafoshizzle, etc. This info was harvested from several sources around the web, where he has graced us with his seemingly unlimited knowledge.
DOB: Dec. 23, 1949 (you still have time to send him a card- ask @THEIS for the address)
Height: 6’5”
Weight: “over 300 pounds, with a reputation”
Family: married- wife refuses to move from 1000 sq ft. re-possessed house near 29 palms because of nannying grandchildren. Daughter- was raped by an illegal alien while said illegal was out on parole. Daughter-in-law: bi-polar and threatened to kill Pops wife, which caused the move to CA.
Childhood: raised in the “hills and pine ridges of southern Arkansas” Father created Boy Scout groups everywhere they lived- Pops became an Eagle Scout and practiced a minimum of 50-100 rounds per day to become an expert marksman while others his age had no interest.
Education: (damned impressive)- went to colleges in Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, annnnd.......”an Ivy League school, courtesy of Uncle Sam”, earning a Bachelors in Psychology (you can’t make this shit up) with a double minor in Sociology and Military Science at Eastern New Mexico University. Post-graduate work in Criminal Justice. Part of anArmy National Guard Airborne Infantry Unit where he would “clear a pathway at all sit-ins during war protests” at said colleges as he “ ‘had a reputation as a martial artist’ and one who was not to be trifled with”.
Military service (this is where it gets quite cloudy and confusing/contradictory)-
-EXPRESSLY STATES he was never in country in Vietnam, YET he has “heard the sonic crack of bullets” watched his friends die, go insane from battle fatigue, and watched men burn as they cried out for help.
-He personally witnessed NCOs and Officers smuggle drugs onto base
-Lt. Col. House told him personally that he would do everything in his power to get him killed
-Qualified as expert with M4, M16, Colt 1911 as a 2nd Lieutenant
-Assisted Okinawan and Japanese police in arresting fellow American soldiers for drug crimes
-Put American soldiers in Leavenworth for drug crimes
-Trained with Israeli Defense Forces in 1971
-Despises Syrian soldiers and calls them obnoxious, undisciplined, and refused to obey orders
-Part of an LRRP, where everyone in the unit was KIA but him because someone didn’t send him or some such thing
-Became a “piss cop” and invoked the wrath of fellow soldiers and other undisciplined types, which caused him to “be shot at by drug dealers and drug smugglers.
-Has “hunted men and been hunted by men” but again, never in country (yeah, it’s confusing af)
-Trained in counter insurgency and guerilla warfare techniques
-Upon returning home from okinawan piss cop duty, he was spit upon by a “little blonde commie girl” at the airport
Post military-
-Self-described “Jack in many fields”
-Refuses to be a part of the VFW because “all they do is drink” and he doesn’t. Brigade Commander accused him of being a communist, because he didn’t drink and get drunk every week.
-Senior Moderator at an Israeli Military website.
-Marines salute him often for wearing Snipers.Org bracelets and hat pins
-All his friends are former military and they all seem to be dead
-As a martial artist, he has used the Phoenix Eye to “indent the breastbone” of someone who refused to back down and misinterpreted Pops kind nature as permission to bully him. Thankfully, he “pulled the punch” so as not to break his breastbone.
-Joined many online forums, successfully pissing off everyne in the room and ends up crying to moderators and getting banned.
-Most recently, went completely apeshit over the wolf population and got into a verbal fisticuffs on another site
Lastly, he seems to have had an experience with a divine being that was confusing and unclear af on another site, but religiously claims to be a “Christian Zionist”.
So, that’s all I got. Feel free to add more as you see fit. I had to have missed a few things, while writing the biography of such a legendary figure in the SH world.

Did you start a Wiki Page for him?
That would be epic, with links to all his postings of course.
He’s all over the internet and has already doxed himself...any pix? Anybody checked if he has FB?
Now you know the SF trainers at ROTC taught him how to go unnoticed on social media.
He an electronic gray man.

On the LRH site he mentioned the Ivy League college as Yale.
Gecko-45 ain’t got shit on papa rock.
He even claimed “to know the inventor of body armor personally”.....

He could be just embellishing the truth instead of outright lying, or he might be telling the truth and is just fucked in the head. Probably best to leave him alone at any rate.
Guys, you know, AJ may be on to something. A guy (PoppaRocks) that is that far out in the weeds could very well have some serious issues. I'm not going to speak for anyone else, but it would be a shame if anyone did or said anything to push a person in his (possible) position over the edge. Maybe he has nothing else in his life, other than delusions and fantasies. It sounds like he has his hands full with family matters too.
Food for thought anyway.....
well I dont give a fuck about him that much, its just sinful to pick on retards and Marines. In this case retards.
@Threadcutter308 's skeered to get his breastbone indented.
Close......I'm more skeered of getting the Phoenix hairy eyeball....It's the hair that scares me.
Yea, but he does the same stupid shit wherever he goes! He makes wild claims, like he invented the question mark, and then gets in fights on purpose staking out a position in the strongest terms possible and then validating his position with boolshit bon fides. I don’t do that even with shit in which I actually am an expert. I might call BS on something that I think is BS, but I’m not trying to win any arguements. I just want to laugh and be entertained. He’s on offense everywhere he goes, and he sucks at it. Good trolling is pushing people’s buttons, making them mad, and then laughing at them for freaking out. It’s like he trolls everyone, but then HE freaks out. If he’s trolling...he’s doing it wrong...
An old saying.
With extraordinary claims comes extraordinary proof.(I heard this while I was a door gunner on the space shuttle)
So far all this peckerwood has proven is his limitless line of bullshit.

Considering body armor has been around for thousands of years, that is highly impressive. He hadn't mentioned finding the fountain of youth, yet. Time to go dig through the metaphysical forums...
My bet is despite all his bullshit about being Special Forces, etc., I think he was probably an MP (Military Policeman for the handful who may not know) stationed on Okinawa. He may have also been a 2nd Lieutenant and that would mean he probably does have a college degree and likely went to at least some of the colleges he mentioned. It would explain why he claims military service but from Okinawa and mostly revolving around drugs. Good liars take a shred of truth and then wrap it in bullshit and I bet being an MP is the shred of truth (that he never admits to) that allows him to focus most of his lies around military service in Southeast Asia.
The world is filled with innumerable idiots with military service who claim to be Special Forces/SEALs/Force Recon/Delta/Sniper/Infantry even though they never were. Having been co-located with, trained with, or supported these guys does not make you one of them. I have yet to meet a Vet who says they were a cook, mechanic, or a supply specialist overseas. Somehow, they were all at least "infantry" or at the very least were "used as infantry". No, Douchebag; just because you had to pull guard on the FOB or carry a rifle or went to Basic Training or Boot Camp does not mean you are an Infantryman. Just because you brought MREs to SOF does not mean you are SOF.
I swear, ex-military are the biggest liars on Earth because they are insecure and know 97% of the population can't or won't call them on their lies.

I found a picture of Paparock at his last duty station, right after OkiNam. That's not actually him sitting in the door. He's the guy behind feeding the urine sample into the onboard spectrometer.

Then you missed not one but TWO epic flameouts in 2018. Don't forget Budley and the Quigley-Ford FFP 520 thread. Two guys on par with Gecko45 six months apart? One in a billion I tell 'ya.
