'''Tab Spangler''' is the director of [[Serenity Ranch]], a maximum security fat camp which [[Bart]] attended after he got fat from the [[Scammer and Z-Dog]] snacks from the school vending machines.
 
  
Tab Spangler is a veteran of the [[USMC|Marines]]. He started working at Serenity Ranch after he retired from the military, and his military background shows in his mannerisms: namely, his style of speaking which always sounds like he's giving orders. Spangler's military background also shows in the treatments he administers to his fat camp clients: waking them up by clanging garbage cans and lids; making them run and cracking a whip at them; and tearing them down by forcing them to admit to their own role in their weight gain.
