@ChromaQuack thanks for pointing me in this direction! This is not the unfortunate shlub I knew, but interestingly, all the pockmarks on his face do remind me of a different guy, from the same post, who was just as weird if not worse than the dude who faked being a Major in order to pick up chicks.
This guy I'm thinking of, he got his face-craters from not showering for extended periods of time. At some point, according to him prior to service, he contracted some sort of weird, possibly fungal, skin disease - nobody really knew what it was, we all just called it "leprosy", and tried to stay as far away as possible.
Whatever it was, this disease caused the poor man's skin to turn gray and slough off in long, jagged chunks; the shedding was exasperated by contact with water, which according to him was why he only took showers every three or four days ("doctors orders!" he claimed, "I'm on Profile!", and even that was a lie - he showered maybe once a month, and counted pool PT as part of his "shower schedule"). Take a shower? Skin flies off. Get in the pool? Skin flies off. Caught in the rain? You get the idea.
The Leprosy was mostly on his arms, but also along the sides of his face, and repeated skin-shedding had caused him to develop pockmarked jowls, exactly like the ones on Mister Spectre here.
Now I'm no doctor, and I'm not saying weird hygiene skin diseases are the ONLY way you get a face like that. I'm sure acne and being bitten repeatedly by rats can do it, too. I'm also not familiar with Spectre, and for all I know he's a fine person with at least average grooming standards (thank you for service, whatever it was!)
But it is kinda funny to see that exact same jawline on a guy like this, and it definitely makes you think...
