You should do a story on Major general Wayne Rollins he's a true Marines Marine Navy cross recipient I think two silver stars and a bronze started out enlisted went to Vietnam came back then went back as an officer. After he retired from Camp lejeune he became commandant of Marine Corps college. His wife is actually my great grandmother's cousin he was my inspiration on why I joined... He doesn't get the recognition I think he deserves the story on how he received the Navy cross was amazing it's on Wikipedia.... Literally took out a whole platoon by himself with frag in his face and being shot five times.... Did all that and he's missing 2 fingers on his left hand before he was ever in the military..

@@matthewhernandez876 sure what you said makes sense... but what I mean is that if he had graduated (enlisted) Marines boot camp when he had already been a Navy officer, would he be a Sergeant or what, a CWO? in a totally unlikely but possible scenario.

Once a marine, always a marine, but you don't become a marine until you pass boot. That's when you earn the title. Lots of recruits never become marines. Because it's hard. No ill will to this guy. Don't know him. Maybe it wasn't his fault, but the fact of the matter is, he is not a marine. Aside from that, either way, he's still wrong on three points. One, he is not and never was a Sergeant. I was a Sergeant of Marines. I earned it. He didn't. By wearing that rank, he is lying, and marines shouldn't lie. Our core values are honor, courage, and commitment. He is violating his honor by being dishonest about his rank. He doesn't have a rank. He was a recruit. This goes to my point about him never having become a marine because the lowest rank is private, but he never even became that. In any case, he's violating his integrity by wearing those chevrons. Second, he should not be wearing cammies off base. Marines don't do that. Unlike other branches, we don't travel in utilities. That's why you always see marines in the airport in their service uniform (olive green trousers and coat, tan shirt and tie), not utilities. If you live off base, you are allowed to stop for gas in your cammies but that's it. Unless you are deployed, you don't go around town in utilities. So, even if he was a marine, this would be improper behavior. And third, by wearing that uniform, he is representing the Marine Corps, and his actions could be misinterpreted as sanctioned behavior. Unless you have permission from your commanding officer (and he doesn't have one), you should not be acting as a marine in public in a non-military capacity. If he wanted to do a good deed, he could have shown up in proper civilian attire. But what he really wanted was attention, and he violated the core tenants of marine values, discipline, and etiquette to gain it. So, no, I don't accept that his heart was in the right place because he did it the wrong way and in the wrong spirit. Stolen valor? Not really. Sad attention grabbing move? Absolutely. But as we real marines say, "Good initiative. Bad judgement." Oorah. Semper Fi

I guess people will do just about anything for that "Thank you for your service" comment. I remember growing up in the 1960s. My dad was a WWII combat veteran (like just about everybody's dad was during that era.) You know, I never heard him once mention he was a vet unless someone asked him. He never talked about the war much either. When I was in high school, some of the kid's families had taken trips to Europe. I wanted to see Europe too. I remember bugging him and my mom about it. One day he had enough and he said he didn't want to go to Europe again. I asked why, and he said "I don't want to see a bunch of bombed out buildings and a bunch of miserable starving people." (This was 1972). I finally got a hint of what my dad had gone through. He never really opened up until we saw "Saving Private Ryan" two years before he died. BTW, no one ever said "Thank you your service" to him. Side note: He spent 35 years servings the vets at the VA Hopital in Long Beach, CA.

I asked him once why he never wore his medals and he snapped, I don't need to wear medals to Remember! It took me many years of persistence to finally get him to open up and in 2005 I got to travel to Europe with him to tour where he fought, he did want to go because he wanted to see it as it was today and not as he seen it. He told me some stories over there, one town in Northern Holland he could not go into cause he said he had been there and he stormed away, he told me the story after I calmed him down and we stayed well away afterwards, the story was heartbreaking! He was 17 when he went over seas and it haunted him till the day he died. He once told me he didn't like to go into the Legions, he said they used to get a lot of guys in there that discussed their service or bragged, he told me anyone that ever seen any amount of active service doesn't brag or talk about it!

Finally able to squeeze out 42 push ups for my PFT and went onto AIT for 13B. Due to my hernia profile and Jerry’s Kid status, was sent to HQ’s 1/19 FA as the driver for the LTC. So it has and does happen.

"I don't even have a kid or know a child that goes here" That gives me the prickly whatsits.

@@JamesonsTravels Not too much, just boring as hell, at least at Benning...back in '03, might be kinder and gentler now...There's a holdover barracks where recently graduated and homeless infantrymen rack. Some on medical hold, others are in Airborne hold waiting for a class slot to start. There are Drill Sergeants who supervise the troops. However from what I understood it was a rotational duty, in between training cycles. Pretty much they have the troops wake up, PT, SSS, chow then task them out for the rest of the day. Mostly cleaning and area beautification around Sand Hill. Still a controlled environment, otherwise you have recently graduated Joe going buck wild but generally a little more lax environment than infantry OSUT. Troops generally get a day pass on Saturdays to go on main post, catch a movie, bowl, hang out at the Airborne rec center (which had a decent video arcade, internet cafe and sold tobacco products.) Not too shabby for getting stuck waiting on a school slot, orders or biding the time while your dick gets un-broke.

The 1980s if you were in the Marine corps and caught off-base wearing camouflage utilities. You are definitely going to get office Hours.

FYI '0800' is a basic MOS for artillery, in my day assigned the last week of boot. I was a basic '2500' radio-operator before radio school. After school my MOS was refined '2531' Field Radio Operator. A grunt at the end of boot would be '0300' and eventually become 0311, 0331, or 0351 at the end of infantry school. BTW I was trained as 0849 Shore Party Fire Control just before I went RVN. Ultimately became 0302 Infantry Officer. My last duty station was MCRD San Diego as a Series Commander training boot Marines. I was proud to make Corporal, then Sergeant. USMC does not promote to NCO easily like other service branches - Marine NCO is truly an achievement, and not to be worn by someone who has ego problems. As a Marine officer I took special pride having been an NCO first. I like your show Semper Fi!

Honestly out of all the stolen valor this one has to be the least egregious and in an odd twist honorable and noble. And he tried unlike other people in our society he had the stones to actually join the service and test his mettle and capability.

Even if he were a real marine I’d find this so weird in Canada. The fact that he’s standing guard implies a danger to protect from that requires *constant* vigilance. If a marine came to my school and asked to do this I’d thank him, and then ask him to come in and talk to troubled kids about strength, discipline, and respect.

In the military we are expected to hold ourselves to a higher standard. If he was in and didn't make it higher up in rank and was honorably discharged, then wear that rank. There is NOTHING WRONG with doing this and wearing your PFC or Lance Corporal rank, if you need rank to do something like this, then you need to reevaluate how you think of service. All ranks are needed from the E-1 to the O-10 we all play our part.

It’s crazy because I remember watching this on the early days of KZread, and I never saw the updated fakery.

I had the honor to be a part of helping the survivors of the sandy hook tragedy recover. i'm an electrician and at the time i was working data networking and installed security and camera systems, panic switch's, electric door locks, and exterior access points at the school that temporarily housed the students and teachers following the shooting. It felt good providing peace of mind to the staff and students. I know it's not the same as the officers there but all the work we did and the equipment we installed made everyone feel that much safer I'm sure. Maybe this guy had good intentions, I'm sure a lot of it was attention seeking or looking for a pat on the back, definitely odd to pretend to be something you're not, but if it made people feel safe and didn't cause any hazard, than what's the big deal, other than potentially making the military look bad if he cowards during an actual event.

This shows the problem with schools. The actual principal and teachers won't observe and research any at all. This kid should spend some time in jail to make an example and the principal should be fired instantly. If he can pull this bs, what's stopping someone with bad intentions of doing it? What if someone did this with the intent of winning trust to abduct a child or harm the school? If they want security then pay a little and go through a private security firm who first background checks all employees first and they have at minimum non lethal weapons.

0800 is Artillery field. Only reservist get 0800 (basic Artillery man) because they enlist in a specific MOS but haven't graduated MOS school yet.
