He can't. He slipped up one day and said that he was in seven hostile
actions, so everything has been hush hush since then. Len did a nice
expose with respect to Steve's age and the possible periods of service,
and it didn't add up to seven events. In-Your-Face about absolutely
everything else, Steve has yet to set the record straight. Stolen
Valor comes to mind.
I googled a few of his posts. "281.6" isn't a USMC MOS...(SNIP)
What ever you were "Googling", Frank, it wasn't one of MY posts.
All of my MOS's except one started 63xx or 66xx. 8981 was the
fifth.
Most likely you hit one of Lennie's posts wherein he cited one of
his 1950's era MOS's...
(UNSNIP)...and even if
there was a typo on his DD-214 he would have known the -correct- MOS
because EVERY Marine knows his or her MOS as well as many of the other
MOS's in the related fields: 0311 = grunt; 2531 = grunt w/radio (aka
"sniper target"); 2511 = pole-jockey; 2811 = wire tech; 2861 = radio
tech (usually some asshole shop chief) 2881 = crypto tech..... well,
you get the idea. I also noticed he claims to have a good conduct
"medal". No such animal -- it's just a ribbon. Yep, you got him pegged
alright, he's a wannabe warrior.
Oh?
I've always been up front about my
service in the USMC:
Plt 2051 out of MCRD San Diego, 1981;
MCCES at MCAGCC (29 Palms), MOS 2841, 1981 to 1983;
3/8 at Camp Geiger (Camp Lejeune's back door), 1983 to 1985;
BLT 3/8, 24th MAU, 1984 (Beirut);
The flag we flew over the former American Embassy in Mogadishu,
December 1992, was last flown in Beirut.
Interesting irony happening there.....
2nd AAV, 'Outhouse' Bay (also part of Camp Lejeune) for several months
in 1985 until discharged.
You're in Ohio, right?
Nope, Washington (the state, not the city). But I had a girlfriend in
Ohio once. A real knockout!
I wonder why it is that all of the "supporters" that Brain and
Markie can manage are "anonies"...?!?!
