Dudly LOVES uniforms. On himself. Scrubs, cammies, or a
one-piece "flight suit." Doesn't matter...as long as it
makes him look IMPORTANT. He be a "somebody."

Classic narcissism -- he thinks the uniform will command the respect
he thinks he deserves. And by looking through a few of his posts it
looks like he has a 'wannabe-hero' complex as well.

Heh heh. It comes out in some of his other remarks, notably the
personal insult kind: "You think you're so important!" - I've
never assumed MY "importance" in much of anything done over the
last seven decades. Dudly remarked more than once that "I just
swept floors in aerospace [industry]" or that I was "just a
technician." Well, I HAVE swept a floor or two and, in early
years was an electronics technician but I worked my way up to
being a Senior Engineering Staff employee with a load of
responsibilities such as being the final sign-off on drawings'
title blocks for a project I was assigned to, as engineer or
project engineer. Those are typical remarks Dudly tried to put
down in here. He wants to diminish ANY accomplishments of others
that he deems are his "opponents."

Dudly went on at great length about how Ham Radio magazine went
"defunct" after I was on its staff as Associate Editor. Ham Radio
was IN BUSINESS for 22 years as an independent ham radio oriented
monthly. It is still regarded as the superior periodical for
radio technology (in practical and theoretical ways) in North
America. It never had the support of an entire membership
organization to back them up monetarily (as does QST or QEX). The
advertising monies were tightening up in the late 1980s and, without
ad sales, an independent periodical can't operate. Seeing the
handwriting on the ledger sheet, co-founder Publisher Skip Tenney
decided to sell everything to CQ in 1990. CQ would have to drop its
spin-off monthly, "CQ VHF", due to less and less ad sales. Even
"73" magazine had to shut down completely. BUSINESS conditions.
Dudly (and a few other duds in here) snarled and spouted about
"defunct! defunct!" like it was a moral-negative condition. Both
CQ and ARRL still sell 3-disk CD sets of all 22 years of Ham
Radio's articles for $150. Not quite as "defunct" as they want
to demonstrate.

But I really think
this newsgroup facade is just the tip of the iceberg. How much you
wanna bet he has a Crown Victoria with door-mounted spotlights and a
light bar in the trunk?

Heh heh heh...I wouldn't bet against it... :-)

If the
-real- Gunny Robeson is K4YZ then this imposter is stealing both his
military history -and- his amateur status.

Not an idle matter for military.

Certainly not. The Master Gunny I called up the other day was really
adamant about checking out Dudly's story.

In this Los Angeles area, it's not unusual to have a few dozen
Crown Vics all dolled up as "official 'to protect and serve'"
police cars. Several rental companies have them for movies and
TV location shooting. A grip I met once said he'd bought a
banged-up prop cop car from a rental company for his personal
vehicle...said he made a mistake of keeping the paint black and
white and the slogan on the side (but not the Mars Light bar or
the City of L.A. logo on the door)...a BIG mistake he said...he
got tickets for ALL kinds of things, moving and stationary
violations, was hauled out and frisked more than once. He had
to spend extra money to repaint the car "more civilian." Was a
good vehicle even when he had to install smog controls that went
into effect here (real cop cars were exempt from that). LAPD are
fussy about imitators here, even IN the entertainment industry,
and DO do things about those who are pretenders.

A DD 214 form has been relatively unchanged
in 50 years,

While I was hashing out Kerry's record with Dave Hall (N3CVJ) it
became obvious that the DD-214 was used for both discharges -and-
transfers until around 1980 (official title: "Report of Transfer or
Discharge"). That's how the Rove/Bush campaign managed to confuse the
public regarding Kerry's service -- using shill blogs (and sheople
like N3CVJ) to suggest that Kerry's records were somehow forged or
faked. Anyway, Gunny Robeson should have more than one DD-214. Dudly
has claimed to have only one. Looks like he flunked again.

I was referring to the general nature of the form. :-)

Can't help you on later editions. My single DD-214 form is dated
1 Jul 52 and was filled in at Fort Sheridan, IL, in February 1956.
Back then its title was "Report of Separation From the Armed Forces
of the United States." Other than an acknowledgement from the
Winnebago County, IL, draft board on status change to "reserve"
(inactive) received shortly thereafter, the only other form I got
was the Honorable Discharge certificate in April 1960. Not a fancy
certificate, either...:-)

I carry around a credit-card-size reduction of my DD-214 for fun,
have used it as local proof (needs a magnifying glass to see the
detail). Once got into a conversation with a Vietvet at a party
who had gotten a similar laminated reduction...he got out in '74...
we compared forms and they seemed to be very nearly identical.

for example...the major change being in that old
military records were typed in by manual typists...as were old
government forms such as license certificates. It is almost
IMPOSSIBLE to fake/substitute/distort old books and periodicals
that were printed in thousands of identical copies and
distributed to subscribers, libraries, and stores. Nearly all
old documents can be scanned, digitized for distribution as
proof of something...or xerocopied at a nickel a page.

I have a microfiche copy of both my SRB and medical records. They were
sent to me after my final discharge. It's pretty hard to retouch a
hundred or so pages crammed onto a 4' x 5' negative.

Ow! Mass-reduction 'fiche! I'm used to the "IBM punch card 'fiche"
which have only one image on the card, for drawings...or the library
style 'fiche film reels, one newspaper-page-size image per frame.

One of Kerry's DD-214's (filled out 15 Dec. 66) was edition 1 NOV 55,

Of course we have over seven YEARS of Lennie's "remarks"

Well, he failed there, too. Now he has Tweedle Dave and Tweedle Buzz

So Frank of Silliland shows us his true colors, not that it was
too much in doubt...

Funny how when Frank of Silliland came in here his FIRST posts
slammed Lennie as an "obvious fraud"...until it was pointed out that he
was talking about Lennie...

Frank wasn't even sure WHO he was "dissing".

Of course you make the sarcastic commetns about anyone who may
have something in support of me as being "Tweedle.."....

But I wonder where that leaves YOU IRT fighting Lennie's and
Mark's fights for them, Frank of Silliland...?!?! Afterall, that IS
your only purpose here.

Judging by your interactions with Lennie, I'd say that should be a
"Brown Nose" card. Being someone's yes-man isn't a USMC MOS, but I bet
you were good at it.

You seem to have it down pat here.

I see that you are just as deficient in quantitative reasoning skills
as you are in qualitative reasoning skills. To wit: From 1955 to 1979
the DD-214 was used for both transfers and discharges. Dudly claims to
have served from 1974 until 1992, and therefore would have served five
of those years during the time when the DD-214 was used for transfers.
The only people who stay at one duty station for five years or more
are high-ranking uppity-ups. Therefore, Gunny Robeson would have at
least one (and probably two) DD-214's -in addition to- the DD-214 used
for his discharge. Dudly only claims to have -one- DD-214. Therefore,
Dudly is -not- Gunny Robeson.

Did you understand that or do you need me to draw you a picture?

Maybe YOU are Dave, K8MN AND K4YZ...?!?!

I let them know that a person in here is claiming to be a retired USMC
gunny but is most likely an imposter, if that's what you mean. If they
choose to act on it that's up to them.

You let them know? Really? I have trouble believing you, Frank.

I really don't care what you believe, Dave.

You're responding to his posts...Obviously you DO care.

Sure, Frank. I understood what you wrote. I just can't accept it as
fact. My DD-214 (you know, the full-sized one which I don't carry
around with me), issued in 1972 says nothing about transfers.

You may have some new information. What's the title and edition date
of -your- DD-214?

I imagine YOUR "information" is only as current as the last Clancy
novel you read.

It is the
only DD-214 issued to me in four years of service. I had three
transfers while in the Air Force. None were on a DD-214. Go figure.

Interesting indeed.

What's interesting about it?

I carry around a credit-card-size reduction of my DD-214 for fun,
have used it as local proof (needs a magnifying glass to see the
detail). Once got into a conversation with a Vietvet at a party
who had gotten a similar laminated reduction...he got out in '74...
we compared forms and they seemed to be very nearly identical.



Hey, that's a neat idea! I gotta do that, keep it right next to my
Blue Nose card.

What kind of guy carries a copy of his DD-214 around with him?

What kind of Marine lets someone else fight his battles?

You answer my question, I'll answer yours.

Grow up.

Well HEAVEN FORBID that you'd actually answer a question instead of
trying to fan flamewars that you are only Johnny-come-lately too,
Frankie!

Well, he failed there, too. Now he has Tweedle Dave and Tweedle Buzz
fighting his fights for him.

It's only fair, Twiddle Frank. After all, we've got a CBer and a
non-ham (Twaddle Len) writing all sorts of malicious nonsense.

What you have is a USMC imposter that is probably also a ham imposter,
and two EE's with verifiable military backgrounds.

What we REALLY ahve here is some mealy-mouthed newsgroup mercenary
who thought he could through some 'nomenclature" around and impress
folks.

Didn't work.

Back to Silliland, frank.

LAPD are
fussy about imitators here, even IN the entertainment industry,
and DO do things about those who are pretenders.

So do Marines.

There you go. You've got a mission. Contact the Corps about Steve and

You did nothing of the sort.

I see that you are just as deficient in quantitative reasoning skills
as you are in qualitative reasoning skills. To wit: From 1955 to 1979
the DD-214 was used for both transfers and discharges. Dudly claims to
have served from 1974 until 1992, and therefore would have served five
of those years during the time when the DD-214 was used for transfers.
The only people who stay at one duty station for five years or more
are high-ranking uppity-ups. Therefore, Gunny Robeson would have at
least one (and probably two) DD-214's -in addition to- the DD-214 used
for his discharge. Dudly only claims to have -one- DD-214. Therefore,
Dudly is -not- Gunny Robeson.

Did you understand that or do you need me to draw you a picture?

You might as well draw a picture, Frankie...crayons or
watercolors?

In either case it will look as infantile as your efforts to
belittle MY service in the United States Marine Corps.
