Ok , I think you are in to something. Lets do some math:
42 years old, 19 years and 4 months in Usss, 5 years USMC79to83.
All reported durations.
Assuming no gaps, that places 18 year old Nole entering the USMC.
All sounds good, except that a bachelors degree is required to become a USSS special agent.
Just how did he qualify for the job. Also it appears that Nole earned two stripes in the USMC (Facebook). That would have him at corporal or lance corporal - not sure- but isnt that below expectations for 5 years of service?
If he made it to USSS, he would have needed a degree and an excellent record.
His Facebook page also does not feel right. Seems staged.

Interesting thought processes there, Triple.
You gave me a turn of confusion when referring to the time period of when Remagen served in the USMC. It turns out we actually have a FReeQ who uses the handle you wrote in designating that time period:
“USMC79to83”
So pinging USMC79to83 to see if his brain can be picked on this subject, if he is interested in it.
Auto correct - typo : on USMC
I saw this come by earlier and thought it must be a typo. The math doesn't work.
42 YOA would put his birthday in 1976. The earliest he could have enlisted is 1993, or 1994. The press release says he joined the SS in 1999. That works.
It's plausible he went to school at night and worked toward the degree. I did.
Just want back to try and confirm 42 Years old. Where did you find the reference to his service and age?
bachelors degree is not required optional specialized experience
