Very deceptive avatar.
Were you stationed at Camp lejeune in 98 99-2000? You look familiar I've been watching your shows for a while just thought I'd ask I was at courthouse Bay did my schools in Aberdeen proving grounds lav repair technician. Got injured ended up being the battalion commanders driver h&s company courthouse Bay until I med boarded out.. I was at building 1 a lot. So I was on main side quite a bit. My third cousin was Major general Wayne Rollings. They did a change over for him while I was there.
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..
Jameson, I looked what MOS 0800 is and it's a basic field artillery marine. I don't think the guy is a case of stolen valor, as the stolen valor police can and do get it wrong all the time as well.
@Jeff W. what rank is Sargent in the marines like e4?
Tons of marines used to stand guard outside my school. They called themselves recruiters.
Lmfao
Middle School memories right there.
I only got Army recruiters. I guess Idaho Falls High School wasn’t cool enough to have the Marines.
LMAO Sadly this is true. Used to wait for you stupid kids to take back to the office for PT. Now some of them are my stupid Marines 😂.
We hard Army, Navy, and Air Force at my school. My old high school had Marine, Coast Guard and Army
Marine or not, to simply stand in front of a freaking school all day unarmed is just weird. Staring into space.
but standing armed wouldn't be?
@@vanpallandt5799 at least if you were standing there armed you’d actually be able to do something to stop a shooter. This guy would just be victim #1
@@FudgyTheWhale_ that would apply to the other guy too then
@@vanpallandt5799 he's just as useless too, both of them are weird.
@@xXSgtWolfXx so are you really a Sgt then, like he really was?
I served in the Salvation Army, I was stationed outside of Walmart.
I appreciate your service and all you do for the community .
That was a real service for the community.
Me too soldier, ive been thru 3 Black Fridays
@@justinhealey2408 So you have a medal with 2 stars? Perhaps a V for valor? Maybe some service stripes? Fantastic commitment! The bell would be too heavy for my broken ass.
I was a tail Gunner on the USS Ohio.......Got me a killer whale once.....
He's just there for the single moms with bad judgement and free food.
Maybe the food,single moms like neck tattoos and felonies
elementary school and no crayons? such an impostor!!
@@Pisomajado😂😂
Sounds like a marine to me
After I got out, the first thing I did was grow a beard, and put my uniforms away.
And thats how I know you actually served... haha.
I came across a couple pair of my utilities the other day.The waist line wouldn't fit my thigh.
I THINK KIDS SEE MARINES AND WANT TO JOIN. THATS A GOOD THING I NEVER SERVED . MAYBE IF I SEEN MARINES STANDING OUTSIDE I WOULD OF. CHRISTOPHER HORN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I AM BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOUR SERVICE. THANK ALL YOU SERVICE MEMMBERS.
@The Watching Ghost Im not sure what being goalable is, but ill assume it means something nice. So, thank you. Either way, I was also speaking from experience...
That hit me different! Lol
He so much wants to be a marine you almost feel bad for him. But not.
he looks pretty young, he should re enlist and try again.
@@xisotopex can you get court marshalled for stunts like that? I'm Honestly asking. I watched on the news they aired the interview... dude talked about bad guys if they were to attack the school... I was like O.o
The funny thing is he could just do it an get it out of the way.
@@GhostCrowGamer you dont get "court marshalled" if you are not in the military. a court martial is simply a military trial
That guy was in my platoon in boot camp 2167. Kinda fucking awkward.
This dude is an exceptional soldier. He made sergeant in boot camp? Amazing!
Haha you're not wrong. Especially since they don't have soldiers in the corps.
That’s what i was thinking lol how do you make sgt at boot camp lol?
Some are just born to lead.
I actually had a sergeant in my company during basic at fort benning, he was navy and transferred with an equivalent army rank but had to go through osut. It was kinda awkward to have someone training beside us that was a higher rank than some of our very own drill sergeants
@@ryanjones5367 But if this "sergeant" was professional, he didn't wear his rank, "got with the program" and graduated OSUT. Right?
"It's a tough title to recieve...and the strongest take and the weakest fail it."
If he has any sense of self-decency, he cringed slightly as he said those words.
I think he was low key calling himself the weakest
He’s reciting the statement he was told when he got kicked out
@@SteveSmith-xc4hf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SteveSmith-xc4hf lmao
If he had any sense of self-dignity, he wouldn't be there dressed up in a uniform and rank he didn't earn.
"I mean, the guy looks legit. He looks like a young sergeant" - What, with that posture?...he looks like a bloody vulture!
Neck all bent and shyte...
Shyt Bird family of Blue Falconids !
That’s……Thas’ ……. Funny …..nice observation!
Same thought… feel bad for dude tho; he’s clearly unhinged and not properly socialized like the rest of those Stolen Valor guys
😂😂😂 Like a question mark.
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
Spot on Marine, every last word.
I'm not an American, nor marine, nor do I know what it takes, but thanks for the insight, you taught me a thing or two.
👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
S/f. 100% astute assessment
Agreed. I just got medically discharged from mcrd parris island. And i got dropped during grass week td30. And it was a great experience I hope to be able to reenlist if my waiver is allowed
Impressive, straight out of boot camp, he’s an NCO. Now that is Amazing.
Back in the old days you could make SGT in a year. My uncle made SGT after one year in Vietnam. But damn it took me 3 years to get that E-5 on my chest. 3 years and 7 months to be exact. Eff this guy.
Meritorious promotion 🤣😂😅
I know someone who graduated USMC boot camp as a Sergeant (E5). he was in the Navy as an enlisted for 6 years before that. (I almost wanted to ask: if he had been a Navy officer, what would he graduate USMC boot camp as????). this was in 1995, MCRD San Diego... Semper Fi.
@@eecsbear As an officer, he would probably graduate from OCS as one grade below what he had been in the Navy.
@@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.
"Mom, Dad, why is the Marine outside my school.?" "Well son he is protecting you from the crazy people out there pretending to be something they are not."
Hahaha ha this guy's gets it
😂😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Lol 😆 that was good.
He’s protecting them from Jeremy dewitte the sex offender,the stolen valour major who apparently jumped into fallujah and riser popped and has his own fake police department
@@frodosfrostbite I wouldn't be surprised if Dewitte started off like this. Both are seeking approval from themselves, if I keep telling myself I am important maybe I will be.
I don’t think he is doing it selflessly - he’s stealing valor and doing it purely for his own ego. The classic “look at me” egotist. Eff that guy.
Yeah I agree. I wouldn’t have a problem with a pfc standing out there. But the point that he starts claiming ranks he didn’t earn and making up stories about seeing action it instantly nullifies any good deed he says he’s trying to do.
I agree.
But more egomaniac, ridiculous and stupid are those people who confront them, harassing them and threatening them to send them to jail and trying to take off their uniforms. Mind your own business and just worry about your families, not them, they are sick, just leave them alone, live, let others live and let the world turns!
@@kwt2000trucker idk if egomaniac is the word I would use. I mean I never served but I can empathize with how a person must feel to be turned in to a soldier, being deployed, and the vast emotions they must have to deal with coming back and trying to deal with fitting into civilian life. Then you see some retard cheapening your experience by perpetrating for personal gain. The boiling rage and call to action they must feel inside.
@@killmeorudie1 if real veterans or active military people get angry because of those impersonators, then they have more serious mental problems than those impersonators, when they can simply ignore them and just laugh
I’m 20 year’s retired Army & can’t understand why any branch of military would stand guard at a school where there’s no threat or natural disaster especially unarmed. To me they’re both just loitering in uniform. I wouldn’t feel safe with either one of these guys around legit or not because they look intimidating not helpful.
I agree
L.W.U. loitering while (fake) uniforming.. class A misdemeanor.
I did my time in the army infantry as an 11c not 20 years tho!! Thanks for doing 20 as a dedicated soldier. I agree with you here. These two are just digging for attention, army guys do it quietly and dont wory about being praised by citizens. Besides one unarmed marine would just be the first victim in a dangerous encounter.
Seems confusing to me
And the "real" Marine standing there with his hand is his pocket...
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.
That’s a heck of a story. Did you understand him better after the movie?
@@ericross5048 Yes, I did. The scene in the movie where the soldier was shot in the chest while taking the German machine gun position. The guy was bleeding like crazy and they were trying to stop it. At that point he leaned over to me and said, "That's what is was like, just like that." He was a combat medic with the 4th Armoured Division of Patton's 3rd Army.
@@OleJoe I am Canadian and my Grandfather was a WW2 veteran as well. We were all told as kids to never bring the war up, I attended every Remembrance Day Ceremony with him up until he passed, I always said, he was just another face in the crowd, he never wore his medals, he never stood by the other vets, he looked like just another person paying respects. 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!
Every marine watching this: *Wow...This is embarrassing as hell*
As a marine....yup.
🤣🤣🤣
For sure
@Yes Man the fact that he's pretending.
@Yes Man
I'd rather have our marines out there training for combat then standing at a school pretending to guard it.. because we all know that he would be the first one to run if anything goes down.. its in his body language..
Happily my kids schools have armed officers, who I actually know on a personal basis.. and parent volunteers all on a daily basis..
I think what he's "asking for" is just public recognition, since he was dropped from basic. That must be a terrible feeling - all his friends and family watched him go off, expecting he'd come back a Marine
As somebody who did the same thing (though for 2 months, not 9), it really is a god awful feeling, and you regret it super hard. I really don't think I was ready at that point in my life though, and I think I'll probably try again in a couple years when I'm a little more mature and mentally able to handle the bs they put you through
Yeah, it probably helps him cope with not making it.
Boot Camp, Marines don't have Basic.
@@armybeef68 Boot camp is just what Marines call basic, but its the same thing, which is "basic training". Its like DI and DS, except with much less importance
@@TheLongDon you dropped off from boot camp? I dont think they would ever accept you again
If he just showed up in civilian clothing it would had still been a good deed, maybe not as big of a message, but still very good
It would have been « a call the police there’s a perv standing outside » kinda deed.
It wouldn’t have been a good deed, it would have been useless. He should pick up trash or work at a food pantry if he wants to do something good
There was a gang problem at the local community college a few years ago. They had undercover police on campus keeping tabs on things.. Making arrests. For some reason they stopped doing their thing.
A local motorcycle club made up of ex military, veterans showed up with their biker vests on and made their presence known.
Wasn't any problems... None.
They’d have gotten his ass up outta there quick.
No. Giving parents and students false security is not a good deed
Guy seems like he is the one that needs to be watched
So basically, they’re just standing outside the school to look cool and get attention whether it’s stolen valor, or not if they’re not equipped to handle a threat, then they are doing nothing but trying to be the center of attention
How full of yourself do you have to be to think that you are such a badass that if you just stand there, unarmed, in a uniform that you could stop any kind of threat anyway?
kinda my thought. at least grab his wifes pink mace
What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear him? He is a trained killing machine. Lol
That was my thought.
@@basedpatriot4982 he repeated boot camp enough times he should be pretty well trained.
Soldiers don’t don’ really do this to protect a school per week, but more so to send a message
He's doing the college and high school marching band parade rest.
"Band, parade rest!!!"
Lol yea
Lol 😆 lol 😆 hilarious.
So true lol. Even doing JROTC you know the difference between the stances.
He’s trying to hide his chubby from seeing the Principal 😆😂🤣😅🤭
Oh, see I thought that one was Parade Chill.
I see why they call that separation "nuts and bolts"
9 months at boo camp. something was off with this lad.
Weird that it was his duty to just stand there even tho if something had happened he really doesn't have any tools to stop an attack. Maybe he could yell?
We had a guy in basic (Army) that washed out and got a "trainee" discharge. Don't know if that's what it's called these days... basically a general discharge. Unironically, his name was Null.
@@KyleCowden failure to adapt?
@@alyssaschultz3503 I honestly think a predatory recruiter got a hold of him. It was almost like he wasn't sure where he was.
Lots of problems but I think dropping a live grenade on the range was the straw that broke the camel's back. DI had to get on top of him and barely chunked it clear before it detonated. All of us on the backside of the berm got covered in dirt clods.
The DI walked around the end of the berm carrying the poor guy by his belt. Tossed him down in front of us and called all training for the day.
A day or so later, I was called to CQ (was the trainee platoon sergeant) and had to escort him to the base depot and see he got on the coach.
Spent 9 months in boot camp, promoted to sergeant.
Wow, he must be a miracle. 🤣
In his defense, at least he tried to become a marine. I'm an 0311 and I wouldn't embarrass him in public if I found out he was a fraud. I'd pull him aside and tell him this is not the way. If he wants to be with the Marines that badly and couldn't get through Marine Boot Camp then go join the Navy and be a green side corpsman. Those guys are our medics.
He likes to afganiSTAND outside the school.
Great dad joke there guy!
What a deployment! 🤣
Well he can Pak n stand his ass in jail
Cmon not jail? Bust him and let it be
Pervert guy
They need to put all these fakers on a remote Island out by Diego Garcia. And Let them impress each other!
Put them on permanent cigarette butt duty! I used to have to “police” up cigarette butts first thing every morning and I didn’t even smoke! That’s the corps for you! They should have made only the smokers do that and these idiots!
You sir have a severely under rated comment.
Ah, Diego! Did a little B-52 time there back in the late 80s before anyone ever heard of Saddam Hussein! Brit Club, Crabs, shitty base gym, unintentionally pissing off the navy chiefs! Beautiful island, though!
Don't give Hollywood ideas for a reality tv show 🤣
Oh man DG sucks ass, Guam too.
Looks like forest Gump patrolling the school.
he mows the soccer field on his off time
@@JamesonsTravels 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great content brother.
@@JamesonsTravels I hear he is also low key great at Ping pong
@@JamesonsTravels hes trying to keep out nuts like adam Lanza
Nah forest gump was a combat vet, this guy was only in boot camp lol
About 30 years ago while at the deer camp my friends son stated that he was going into the U.S. Marines. This was the laziest kid that I had ever been around and being an ex army guy I said in front of him to his dad that he would not make it and that I predicted that he would be back at home within 2 weeks wearing those baby blues. Let me just say "nailed it!"
He probably spent more time watching Heartbreak Ridge, than he spent in the corp.
I watched that the other night good movie
"I don't even have a kid or know a child that goes here"
That gives me the prickly whatsits.
He said he didn't know any of the kids there and his son would be going there next year. Unless I missed him changing the story later on
@@tridentcheckit2640 Yeah but earlier in the video he does say his son is gonna go there next year.
Still, I think he did this to get attention and to be on the news, to cultivate real sympathy meant for real veterans. It is all very performative.
He did get some Marine training it sounds like. But he should take those Sargent strips off. He didn't earn those
he straight up said his kid would be there next year, don’t put quotation marks on something that wasn’t even said
@@itsdillon04 he did say that. Start watching at 8:45 like the other commenter stated.
Finally caught a good Jameson video right at it's upload again 👍There's nothing anyone could pay me to do that. And yes an elementary school is a few hundred feet away from me along with a previous mentioned retired Command Sergeant Major that like I said in previous comments actually downplays his accomplishments.
wont catch me doing that or like you say men that spent 30 years in the Corps. Nice idea. "Failed execution young PFC"
Alrighty good way to start my morning thanks Jameson I appreciate it you make my days a hellava lot better man

The 1980s if you were in the Marine corps and caught off-base wearing camouflage utilities. You are definitely going to get office Hours.
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.
We don’t need someone forming a front line at our schools, but every school has those kids, about 1/100 and almost always boys, who could really gain a lot and grow by speaking to a soldier.
Call the RCMP.
@@bubbalong7646 why? I’d think it was weird, I don’t think that person is a danger and I’d think they’re doing a good thing. I’m just saying get them in there to be a role model to some of these kids!
@@GregHMacLean Ok.
But he is not a Marine? But I understand where your coming from.
I would never dare steal any valor but I would honor all vets especially my Korean War vet father who was in two battles Twin tunnels and Chipyong-ni
3:21 Lol, dude's a real life action figure. Even comes with snappy one-liners!
This comment needs to be at the top 🤣
Lmao
He never actively served. Never risked his life like the mom and dads and kids think he did when they see him.
I was in OSUT Ft. Sill from January 1987 - October 1987. March caught pneumonia and hospitalized for 2 weeks. Recycled. In May I had to go to sick call with a groin pain. Turns out needed a hernia operation. Sent home to recover for 30 days. Came back and recycled once again. August I couldn’t pass the 8th week PFT for 42 push ups so I was recycled once again. 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 think he just wanted the pride again of being a marine, because if he was willing to do the work, he would’ve re-enlisted or joined another branch
Well he spent 9 months in a 3 month boot camp, soooooo. He never was a Marine, just a recruit. And got kicked out after an ungodly time in recruit training for obviously getting continuously getting held back in training due to failing events, (like the rifle range), or medical reasons. It is called “getting recycled” in boot camp. Your not up for re-enlistment, or going to another branch after 9 months at MCRD San Diego. Try after 4 year enlistment. Did you even watch the video?
they just wanted the crayons lmao.
Got em'
That’s all you can eat crayons and slow promotions.
@@fprtclvs HAHAH
*sigh*
@MrSuperSativa smoke a little more dude
0800 is a Basic Artilleryman. I was an 0844/0847 and did Fire Direction Control and Surveying in Gun positions as well as Forward Observer/Metorology
King of battle baby!
Hi, I was an Aerographer's Mate in the USN in the 1960's. At that time all Marines went to the same meteorology school at NAS Lakehurst, NJ that the Navy did. It seems all the Marine Corps Meteorology personnel are being trained at Ft. Sills. Do you know when this change came about?
@@LionelRiley I do not know the answer to that but I'm sure Google could find it. I went to FDC Training at Ft. Sill in 1985 and then again for Surveying school. I wonder if because it is all geared towards ballistics and as such would make sense that it be done at the Artillery Training grounds?
You don’t get your M.O.S. in boot camp, when I was in the Marine Corp in 1989, we didn’t get our M.O.S. till after boot camp at Marine Corp infantry school at Camp Pendleton
Went through a couple years ago. We get our MOS’s right away. Whatever MOS you sign for in your contract becomes your MOS. It’s included in your report during all of your inspections now. Goes like: “Good afternoon sir! Private Smith, Detroit Michigan, 0311, Infantry, Regular”.
Not sure of the way they do it currently, but many years ago you could have an open contract where no MOS is assigned upon entering Recruit training or you could have a Guaranteed Contract with a guaranteed MOS. Guaranteed MOS’s also were limited on the ship dates where open contracts could ship at any time.
@@rileypup9971 well, that was back in 1989-90 so I’m sure it changed by now
The more I watch and listen to him the more awkward and weird it gets
every cultured/old subscriber knows that the best series on the channel were Village Idiots and Stolen Valor`s.

Probably got held waiting on orders. Happens all the time unfortunately. You graduate, just to deal with the DIs another 3-12 months.
ouch. sounds like a shitty deal.
If you graduate the DIs treat you like a bro, so sounds pretty chill.
That's crazy I am in the army when we graduate we got treated worst lol
I had to wait a month for my MOS school. They stuck us in a small barracks at Pendleton and we assisted a helo squadron. Pretty cool gig. Happened to be the same squadron my father was in during Vietnam, HMLA-367 Scarface
@@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.
That rest position is called Ceremonial At-Ease. You only see this at Marine Barracks Washington (8th&I), and the Military District of Washington.
I remember a drill moment where we'd check our duty belts and mumble but I don't remember what the command was only ever did during final drill at boot camp.
And Embassy Duty.
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.
One unarmed man standing in front of a school is not an effective use of time or resources for security. It’s obviously a just a selfish means of getting attention.

I'm genuinely scared that this school just let's this dude stand in front of the school. Marine or not if you dont have a kid going there, you shouldn't be any where near those kids.
AGREE
“Its a very tough title to receive” thats why you didn’t receive it my friend. I love how you try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt man.
If he didn't graduate then he bought those because when you drop out of bootcamp they repossess your issued gear.
That is a good point.
They re-posses your issued gear then they sell it as surplus on GovPlanet.
Well, if he was in the Marines 9 months, he’s a Marine. He’s lying about his rank but end of day, he is a Marine. This isn’t stolen valor. I think it’s creepy for anyone who used to be in the military to don the uniform, stand in front of a school, unarmed, and say you’re protecting it.
Steve Protoss But he didn't graduate boot camp that's the thing. Yes he went to boot camp, and it's unfortunate he got hurt. But he didn't earn the title Marine cause he didn't finish boot camp.
If i go to Harvard to be a lawyer, one year in i drop out or get released from Harvard regardless if the reason is my fault or not............can i walk into a courtroom and say i am a lawyer? He started, but did not finish boot camp to earn the title Marine.
@@gunner-qf9eh I thought it said he was in for 9 months. If that’s the case, obviously he graduated boot.
@@EyeForKnowledge. Correct he was in for 9 months. But he was in BOOT CAMP for 9 months.
He had some sort of injury that prolonged his time in boot camp. It happens all the time and is the norm.
I am a retired Navy Chief, did 24 years, 1997-2021. When i was in boot camp in Great Lakes back in 97, we had a guy who rolled into our division after like two and a half months of recovery due to a broken leg. My boot camp started in June, and he joined us starting in week three mid-june, cause that's when he suffered the injury (week three) back in early April.
Pending on the severity of the injury/health issue, if you can heal and return to full duty, the military will keep you in boot camp until you do. Chances are this kid probably had a injury that wouldn't heal, they kept giving him time and chances, and it didn't work out.
I knew a guy who spent seven months in Navy boot camp cause of a foot injury. He is currently stationed in Norfolk Virginia in his 22nd year of active duty.
@@gunner-qf9eh Bootcamp is only 13 weeks.
@@EyeForKnowledge. I don't think you understand, or maybe I am it saying wrong.
Yes Marine boot camp is 13 weeks. HOWEVER, if a recruit suffers some sort of injury, they can be there longer than 13 weeks.
For an example.........let's say you go to Marine Boot Camp first week of March, 13 weeks out, your graduation is second week of June.
Let's say in week three of boot camp, you tear your MCL.............your training will stop right there and you will go into what's called LIMDU (Limited Duty) you are still in boot camp, but part not of the regular phase, basically your boot camp has been halted while you medically heal.
Let's say it takes six weeks for you to recover and return to full duty so you can complete your boot camp.
You won't return with your original recruits and company, they have moved on without you. What happens is you will fall in with a recruit company that is starting week three since that's when you got injured, and you will finish boot camp with them.
So YOUR boot camp will be a total of 19 weeks.
Original three weeks you did before injury
Six week recovery.
Final ten weeks of boot camp after recovery.................Totaling 19 weeks.
Makes sense now?
You are 100% correct, that is a very strange stand, not even an at-ease.
It's awful really, he's just doing this to feel better about himself, he doesn't care about the kids. At least that's what I think.
he thought the press was cool until it wasn't. bamm. now he looks like a dumb ass.
@@JamesonsTravels Exactly! Hopefully he will learn from this and be a better man!
I think he cares about the kids a little to much
Your channel is seriously underrated man you need more recognition
He is growing like crazy already
Then share the vids with your friends or something. If u think he is underrated, then help him grow.
Yeah and btw he’s got really nice microphones all the time lol

5:17 Bro you sure this man ain’t trying to impress them single soccer moms out there 😂😂
exactly what he was doing
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!
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.
He has the posture of a stork, and I think it’s because he probably realizes he’s most likely gonna go viral and get outed
I was in this guys situation, (I actually think he was in somewhere around the same time as me in San Diego) and have a lot of friends that did the same. Joined the marines in 2014, got injured in training and ended up being held for 6 months in the Medical Rehabilitation Platoon just sitting on a foot locker before they eventually discharged me. Some guys like myself got out and just moved on with our lives, but other guys like the one in the video get this mindset of “I was in for (x) amount of time.. I’m basically a Marine. I’m going to act like it”, when they know nothing of what it’s actually like. It’s not honorable, they just haven’t moved on and are just living that dream of one day being a Marine.
Well said. I think people who have been there and done that have a different mentality and view of the military in general than people who haven't even been through basic
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.
To be technically a veteran one needs at least six months total time in the service...if he was in for nine months he's a veteran
I do not understand these people. Also I don't understand why I can't quit watching them...
Things we don't understand are the most interesting
Those people must have some kind of mental disorder, any sane veteran or active marine would never do this kind of crap, as long as is not a dangerous or violent person, just ignore them
@@kwt2000trucker I'm confused, are you saying the people shouldn't be calling these guys out for falsely impersonating?
@@AlphaWasSpottedif they are impersonating Marines, soldiers etc. Leave them alone, mind your own business, they are sick, as long as they are not violent or robbing, LEAVE THEM ALONE
@@kwt2000trucker thats a pretty bold assumption to assume they're sick. 99% of the time its to get discounted prices, which isn't right.
The principal should have requested to see a military ID.
Or call Don Shipley
9 months and made Sgt? Wow this guy must be some amazing Marine to get promoted that fast!! (Sarcasm).
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.
I remember this when it was a new story and the outing of his limited "service ". It's a weird line between stolen valor and desperate need to be recognized . Not sure what caused his early departure from the Marine's but he could be potentially eligible to serve a different branch.
It’s crazy because I remember watching this on the early days of TH-cam, and I never saw the updated fakery.
I’m going to MEPS today to finally join the Marines, wish me luck
Have fun, DBAB!
Break a leg.
Good luck, if you regret in the first days, its ok, almost everyone has that feeling during the first week, just suck it and put 100% effort
Good Luck. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Semper Fi!
Perp is a Marine now, wholesome.
I was a marine too in company 1234. Then I got stationed in Area 51. Marines made me get aliens pregnant. Now I got kids all over the galaxy.
Or....Mexico
Question; why can’t he stand there without the uniform? Not naked, but in civilian clothes. He’s just doing it to be a hero.
I remember when this happened.
Never thought cringe would piss me off so much lol
I met a guy that said he served in the Revolutionary War, how unsavory.
Are you joking? That’s kinda nuts. I’d love to meet a Revolutionary War vet. You’re a lucky guy.
Lol
Revolutionary war in Africa I hope 😂😂
Being a marine myself. I will say they instill respecting higher ranks. You would get in major trouble for lying about yours. he was trying to do a good thing and I feel if he was honest it would of been a better story. Not sure if he got his EGA just pray he's ok
Funny how people say don’t judge a book by it’s cover yet the only difference between creepy and heroic for standing in front of a school all day is clothing.
feel bad for this guy. never made it through the boot camp and never became a marine. Still holding on to his failure and trying to get recognition out of it...smh
Perfect to watch before pt
I think both of these guys carry a lot of anxiety and that is getting overshadowed by the uniform.
Kaffee: "Why do you love them so much?" Galloway: "Because they stand on a wall and say, 'Nothing is going to hurt you tonight. Not on my watch.'"
Wrong - it was Lt Weinberg not Kaffee....
@@hmdoc16 I stand corrected. But did you really need to be so aggressive about correcting me?
He is a hero for doing that
I'm torn in this one. Maybe take off the rank and I'd be ok with that. He's not getting money or anything. Let him be and take off the SGT rank. SMFF
Cracks me up every time you say "village idiots" 😂
@4:09 hand in pocket! Shame on him! LOL
after 9 months of boot camp he should know that much
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.
“The Superior man is aware of righteousness, the Inferior man is aware of advantage.”
Seems like he tried hard but didn't overcome, should've kept his PVT uniform, stood fast and he would have been fine to volunteer honorably ... and get snacks LOL
I kinda feel bad for the kid. I see in his eyes he's lost or going through internal conflict of a kind, and if imitating heroes made him feel a bit more like a decent fella... It aint my place to say, I never served, but I'd give him a break. A case of "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". All due respect to those who serve.
You have a good point. I mean most of the real military would leave him alone and would never call him out. Not unless he become a criminal wearing those uniforms.
Being a Seabee, I admire his intentions if they're pure... but we also are a skeptical bunch. We know our crayon eater companions pretty well. He is clearly not one.
I feel that. But idk I wouldn't consider some one who never left bootcamp to be a marine
Thanks for your service, Seabee. I had a tour at Gulfport, and spent a night in the brig at Port Hueneme. Ooorah!
Fair winds and following seas.
@@baylog9679 I agree with that. A real man would accept his failure and move past it. Obviously, he can't which indirectly explains why he failed basic in the first place. USMC need men, not boys.
@@GySgt_USMC_Ret. Lol, that's fantastic! I'm an East Coast Bee stationed in Gulfport; currently deployed to Israel. Glad to hear from a Marine. Hoorah, Gunny.

In OSUT at Ft Benning, I met a guy in reception battalion. We spent 11-12 days in reception, start of Desert Storm. This guy complaining the entire time he has flat feet, should not be there. The time finally comes, we get loaded up in Cattle Cars, they take us to Garrison, this guy continues to complain. He is pretty much going to the Hospital everyday, or every other day, but it was a good thing. He did a lot of CQ and Fire watch for our Platoon. We finish Basic, get a 1 day pass, and start AIT, this guy is still in the barracks with us. He could have been sweeping, mopping, and buffing the floors, when we were training. Nope, he did squat. I have flat feet, I shouldn't be here. Graduation day, our last night, just a wake up and we are done. Drill Sergeant went into this guy hard. After everything, he says, if you just sucked it up, you would be out of here tomorrow, now you will be lucky to get out of here in 6 months.
On a flipside, I could be wrong, but I think if the Staff Sergeant is not retired, he's not authorized to wear a duty uniform
He doesn’t have a job? Must be living with mom...
Yeah how is gonna support that child of his that was supposed to start going to school there the next year if he's standing around that school all day instead of working
Or the f up va system gave him 100% for being a dropout while us combat vets fight for it.
I bet you his name is Jody..lol

If I was going to do stolen valor, I would pick the Air Force, because they have more in common with civilians then any other military branch, many thinks would be believable if made things up. I changed my mind, I would pick space force instead.
The Air Force doesn't have any valor to steal.

I’m 19 soon to go to the navy and be a Seabee heavy equipment operator because most heavy equipment operator school are closed where I live at are closed due to COVID. Thank you for your service in the service mr Jameson
Although the Staff Sargeant was a legit Marine why is he wearing the uniform after his service has ended? I believe that only a Medal of Honor recipient can wear the uniform after having served when ever they wish.
This feels like one of those very cheesy onion articals doesn't it?
