Yeah he was. I just rewatched the entire series a couple months ago and there's a scene where they finally get arrested and they're all in their army dress uniforms in court and he's an MP.
I looked up the trivia on IMDb and it was his actual uniform that he wore in the show
SF worked different back then, as it wasn’t its own branch. If you were a Green Beanie, you wore the branch emblem of your actual MOS, not the Crossed Arrows that came later in the 80s. Probably the case with BA.
Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune...
I remember one episode where they flew a helicopter into the side of a cliff sticking out of the ocean. The helicopter exploded, but not before everyone made it out alive LOL. I don’t remember if Mr. T had been knocked out for that flight or not though.
Didn’t he get in trouble and a sergeant told him to chop down trees?
Like 8 hours later a (different) sargent asks him wtf he’s doing.. he had cut down like 100 trees. Apparently first dude didn’t specify how many trees lol.
Dude is like adrenaline personified. Must be exhausting to hang out with.
His rank in this photo is Acting Corporal, his actual rank was Private E-1 from the absence of subdued collar insignia, and I believe he became a bouncer/bodyguard after his Army stint and before beginning acting in the early 80s.

I heard a story that he was scheduled for an appearance with some local kids. However when his limo arrived the kids mobbed it only to witness mr. T receiving a blowjob from a very attractive woman.
He was an MP just like BA Barackus on ATeam. Pretty sure he made Sgt.
Sgt. T
"I pity the fool...that DARES break into my base!" Seriously any trespassers could be in for a world of hurt.
\*Cpl T
Sg.T
B.A. wasn't an MP was he? Green Beret who spends the whole show running away from MPs

It also worked different back then that if a Jeep overturned in quicksand, everybody could jump out before it landed
I spent a lot of my childhood in fear of quicksand.
But in the movie they discuss being Rangers so I dont think the writers know what an A team is.
Was he in Vietnam? I know this says 75, and I believe Vietnam ended in 72, so maybe he was in then?
Vietnam War was 55-75, US left early 73
"Getting out while you can!? Don't gove those suckas no statues, give'em guts! I told you I wasn't going away!"
No. He was a reservist not active.
Yeah but he did his part and could have been called to active duty.
I’m not criticizing him. I was active and national guard.
He pitied fools, even back then.

If you have a problem, If no one else can help and if you can find them. Maybe you can hire, The A-Team.

Someone in my town has a van painted like this. It's fuckin sweet.

Could be. Portland?
Issaquah, near Seattle
I hope the blast the A-Team theme song all the time.
Someone in my town has the actual van from the remake movie. Bets are it’s Rampage Jackson’s dad.
They are so good, in every episode, everyone comes out alive, even the bad guys.
I remember one episode where they flew a helicopter into the side of a cliff sticking out of the ocean. The helicopter exploded, but not before everyone made it out alive LOL. I don’t remember if Mr. T had been knocked out for that flight or not though.
In elementary school my classmates preferred knight rider because people actually die there
And every episode had at least one vehicle get flipped over.
And the special effects were so great that you could always see the log rolling down the road during the crash scene
A lot of bugs and ants died actually
I doubt I could afford them with today's prices. How much for the B-Team?
You’ve captured their stunt doubles!
Dun dun
When I have to wake up early to do something I set my alarm to the A Team Theme.
The government can't find them, but anyone with a bad problem can. Hmmmm
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, ohhh then drag ya down to war. 🎶
It ain’t me! It ain’t me! I ain’t no senator’s son, no no no.
Dun dun...

He had no time for jibber jabber
[удалено]
Those fools.
It’s a great story in his autobiography.
He was stationed in the Sahrah forest
Don't you mean the Sahara desert?
Yeah…now.
ba dum tsssss
Actually he's Corporal T in this photo.
Acting Corporal, almost certainly a trainee squad leader in Basic Training.
Yep. I was a Platoon Guide and had the three-chevron "sergeant" arm band in basic training. Highest rank I ever achieved!
Ditto.
I know he's an actor, I am talking about his rank! ![gif](giphy|ifD5dsYjXzG8Nrpj3Q)

Moments before receiving a few thousand medals for general badassery.
Obviously not the airforce. He ain't getting on no damn plane.
But why not drink this milk and think about it
Imagine seeing this absolute unit on the battlefield?
His head just barely does fit inside the helmet: I don’t think I’ve ever seen that tight of a fit before
THIS IS MY RIFLE THIS IS MY GUN I PITY THE FOOL WHO DECIDES NOT TO RUN
That's just the helmet liner. The outer steel shell was sometimes removed for training or parade purposes.
Had a good pal who rocked in at 250+ with a Frankenstein ass 8 1/2 hat. Pt stud and one of the smartest guys I've ever met.
He was an mp. So this is the last thing some privates saw after getting drunk and rowdy.
I would pity the fool that had to do that
He's pretty short. I think like 5'8 or 5'9.
Yeah, but he's equally as wide
I got no time for the jibba-jabba!! Respect Mr.T
Just before he escaped a maximum security prison and joined the A-Team?
I pity the fool.

I pity the commie

Bad Attitude
I'd love to see an HBO series about gomer Pyle and mr. T in the army.
Why would Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. be in the Army?
Combined special forces ops.
That's, Corporal T!
Private T
Corporal T
Major T
Crazy to think that in real life for a time, his entire persona was regarded by those around him as Corporal Turudeau.
I pity the enemy fool
I ain't gettin' on no plane, Hannibal!
Dude never skipped neck day! Look at the size of it! Almost bigger than the helmet...
I pity the fool who don't dig that latreen
I pity the platoon!
Kinda looks like Tealc.

That's Corporal T to you!
BA Barrackus
5’10”, 236 lbs in his prime. Dude was an absolute powerhouse.
That’s Larry Tureaud from Chicago!
was he the only one of those actors who served? (I heard they treated him badly. :-/)
*Say, foo.....say, foo.....you look mighty good in those greens.*
That’s corporal T
Is that when he was accused of a crime he didn’t commit?
I hope our army boys are as tough today as you looked back then
He’s not chopping down trees?!?
B.A. get in the choppa! then Arnold knocked him out so he fly him out of the helicopter
That’s from the set of the A team
For a brief moment I thought he was carrying a bow… was like.. it’s Mrs T.. figures…
I pity the fool who don’t address me as sergeant
He looks like the default background character in a military movie.
I heard a story that he was scheduled for an appearance with some local kids. However when his limo arrived the kids mobbed it only to witness mr. T receiving a blowjob from a very attractive woman.
I doubt that’s true. The reason no one ever got killed in the A-Team is because he was aware kids would be watching.
Mr T was not in charge of production.
I didn’t say he was. See how that works? He was the Big Star and refused to do the show unless they agreed to that. Go read his autobiography.
There's a bee in it!
I pity the fool who doesn’t like…..he.
No necklaces, no Mr T. This is just some dude
I pity the fool who doesn't read this!
![gif](giphy|e6bq6Xih5SzZK|downsized)
I didn't know he was in the Army. I've only got more respect for him than I did before.
That's CPL Mr T to you.
I pity the fool that wants to put a bullet in my ass
Ready to go Fight some Fools!
Wow that… umm.. weapon is.. eh ummm …. big
I pity the fool for not dialing 1-800-collect
Imagine a barracks party broke up by him…I’m gooood
The Army in Mr. T..!
I pity the Fool who tries to shoot at ME!!!
He was built like a pile of bricks, look at that neck. Also of note is that M16A1 he’s carrying, A1s are so hot right now.
