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

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 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.

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...

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?

Hey, YOU'RE the mercenary here, Frankie.
