Methinks I have had more effect than you care to admit.

Methinks you are full of sewage about your USMC career.

Thank you for that passive-agressive response; it did much to confirm
my suspicions.

You are quite right in your suspicions, Frank.

You will note that Robeson, when challenged, will immediately go
into deliberate misdirection with his hyena laughter or the
accusations of some sort of personal perfidy. It's almost SOP
for him.

After parsing your posts I got suspicious because you revealed some
details but nothing verifiable -- almost like you were very careful
not to declare anything that could be proven to be a lie. So I emailed
several of my old Marine buds (a couple are still active duty). None
of them remember any avionics tech named Robeson, although two of them
remember a Navy -corpsman- named Robeson that got into trouble for
giving unnecessary prostate exams. You wouldn't be him, would you?

Well, "Frank", you have the same OFFICIAL resources at your
disposal as I do,

Even more than you might expect.

:-)

so I recommend you use them instead, rather than
making foolish statements that land you squarely in the "running my
mouth off without adequate substantiation of my position" behind them!

I call it like I see it.

We all do. :-)

BTW, one of them wants to follow up with this because apparently it's
a crime to impersonante a military officer -including- non-coms,
active -or- retired. So what should I tell him, "Gunny"?

Whelp, all I can say is use some of those same OFFICIAL sources to
keep from looking like a fool, Frank.

But I'd also say "hurry" because your credibility is slipping.

More SOP responses from Robeson. He avoids the direct response,
trying to imply that anyone who challenges him is a "fool" or
worse. It's an old tactic in pubs-newsgroup word warfare. :-(

I'm not worried about my credibility. On the contrary, -you- have yet
to give a direct answer to any specific question regarding your cruise
in the USMC.

Robeson has only ONCE made ANY reference to radio or electronic
equipment name, nomenclature, or familiar name. That one time
was in regards to MARS radio equipments. Eighteen years as an
avionics MOS and he can't name a single piece of equipment by
formal or familiar name? Unheard of in my service days, in my
work, including field trips to the military installations and
being around servicemen IN radio-electronics.

Earlier on, Robeson tried to avoid naming anything by stating
"he couldn't give away any secrets." A rather stupid remark in
iteself since the NAMES of radio-electronics equipment has NOT
been secret, has been published in Defense Electronics trade
magazine, been on the various branches' procurement IFBs
(Invitation For Bid), government reports, and so forth. Their
names, general function, all have been on public documents
for a half century. Brochures and pamphlets have been released
for publication about many forms of communications, done by
military units themselves...one of which is the main part of:


http://kauko.hallikainen.org/history...phabetsoup.pdf

Robeson couldn't even name the very common all-service small-unit
radio of his early time, the AN/PRC-25 or PRC-77. Only an eighth
of a million of those two types were produced. He couldn't recall
a single airborne radio name, not even the venerable AN/ARC-27
(before his time, really) or the (after his time) AN/ARC-210.
He didn't know the SINCGARS family of all-service small-unit
radios even though a quarter million sets were produced between
1989 and 2004. Radios. Military radios. "Not known" by someone
who had been in the Corps for 18 years, claiming to be "in"
radio communications? Highly unlikely. None of the "military
radio experience" posters in here knew the military designation
of the Collins KWM-2 transceiver, often used in MARS operations
in Vietnam. A ham, an Extra, who isn't familiar with Collins
Radios? Highly unlikely.

In much earlier newsgroup postings, Robeson stated he had a
medical discharge to explain not completing a full 20 years,
"due to an accident." Then, after several days, he changed
that to "honorable" claiming it was "changed later" by some
unspecified authority. Medical discharges are given for a
variety of reasons, not always due to physical disabilities.
[that's in Google archives]

Robeson has consistently tried to make fun of others' military
assignments, claiming his (classic) been in "seven hostile
actions." First of all servicemenbers don't have any choice
of what they do, they go and do whatever they are assigned,
wherever commanded. Only one out of about seven military
land forces, Army or Marines, are IN any combat zone or
actual fighting territory during a "hostile action." Second,
Robeson has NEVER DEFINED HIS "hostile action" in any specifics
as to WHEN and WHERE. He has glossed it over in generalities
"explaining" that he "knows it and need not explain it to us."
He usually remarks that HE has the "documentation" for it but
it remains unseen by the rest of us. He postures and preens,
implies greatness but without details. In other words, BS.

A classic case of Robeson's word-twisting is his "dishonoring"
charge that I "embellish my military career" by honoring the
19 members of my Signal Battalion killed in a transport crash
on 1 July 1950, three years before I was assigned to that
Battalion. "My" battalion lost 4 more afterwards. I have a
list of all those names, even their ASNs (Army Serial Numbers)
and honor them especially every Memorial Day when I join other
veterans in Memorial Day ceremonies, even for simple things
like putting flags on their gravesites. That sort of word-
twisting has become common to Robeson's postings in here,
an extreme sensitivity (or volatility) to anything negative
against his words spat out in a flurry of personal insults.

Take his use of the word "Putz" above his message signatures.
He isn't of a Yiddish ethnic group, isn't a Jew, yet he uses
a Yiddish pejorative freely as if he were. [as a pejorative
it means "penis head" in reference to one who can only think
with his penis] That four-letter word is "acceptible" yet if
another poster is quoted using four-letter words they are
octothorped-out (the octothorpe or # symbol replacing the
letters). This fierce warrior, self-promoted "seven hostile
action" implied hero can't even swear like a Marine among
other veterans? Highly unlikely. :-)

Phrases and euphemisms identified with the USMC are easy to
get in literature and from TV and movies (tons of that
material). Using such things is also easy enough to do...in
generalities. Imposters slip up when confronted with DETAILS
or specific-time/era-use phrases that weren't familiar to the
pharse-user's time. Robeson is big on generalities, very
short on specifics.

Robeson wants to be a Big Name. Any which way he can. He is
military-minded, with any photo of him on the 'web IN UNIFORM
of some sort, green scrubs to CAP-patched flight suit. He is
an amateur extra, yet never worked IN military radio comms.
He bragged of having a civilian private pilot's license
before joining the Corps yet never became Air Crew in the Corps.
He uses phrases like "pilot in command" of a general aviation
single-engine aircraft like he was the commander of a 747. :-)

He gets what he probably wanted all the time - ATTENTION. He
manages to cuss out every one of his opponents in any thread,
turning that thread into a running battle of Stebie FIGHTS
The World...heaping abuse on his "opponents" as if his life
depends on it. Maybe it does.
