He was a REMF who was discharged after 4 years as an E-1 paygrade (recuit paygrade). What a piece of Sh!t on the bottom of a Marine boot.

Nathan Phillips:

Liar
Stolen Valor
Criminal
Left Wing Political agitator
AWOL x three

Just a tool of the left, those are his good points.

In reality I think he is just a total loser and has become what he is to become relevant in his own mind. He is a loser!

My son who is currently Corps got a good thorough background check. What are the actual requirements “today” I am not certain only to say that I think recruiters are held to a higher standard and if they push through a bunch of dipshits who can’t make the cut it reflects poorly on the recruiter; hence the “lifer” types passing through recruiting don’t fuq around. My son’s Delayed Entry program saw lots of guys kicked out before they even went to boot camp (approx 40% booted). On top of that; today, if a recruit doesn’t like or can’t handle boot camp; the Corps will gladly let them go. The Corps doesn’t want problems later; they want the ones who are gonna submit; period. Yes, some still slip through the cracks; nature of the game. I saw this first hand with a nephew about 8 months ago. 3 weeks in, couldn’t handle boot, was discharged (other than honorable I believe) and that was that. He was literally out within 96 hours.
When I joined up in the late 80’s I had a couple things hanging over my head and quite literally missed my initial deployment to boot camp because I was sitting in a local sheriff jail awaiting arraignment on a low grade misdemeanor.. At that time it was up to the Gov’t (i.e., Corps) and the Judge. Judge said I never want to see you in my court room again; ever. Gunny recruiting me said no problem to the Judge. It was a conditional basically. I graduated boot camp, charges were dropped.

Corps straightened my ass out and I am thankful for this life every single day as a result.

I must admit, no VC took over any of the refrigerators at El Toro to my knowledge.

But I only worked for the Marine Corps a couple of years.

Well, he WAS a rifleman in the Nebraska theater for two days.

He also served in the Topeka Kansas Great Plains Refrigeration War...........If I'm not mistaken, he earned the Maytag Medal of Honor.......
