Slats the Euro-weenie Marine
Josh sent us these photos from Gregory Leveau, a Belgian, who thinks he pulls off the steely-eyed Marine thing. Actually, he looks like he used to eat second in the same mess hall as the Round Marine. His Facebook profile says that he works at “Division des Opérations Spéciales”, so you know it must be true, cuz it’s on Facebook.
Just the sight of him should strike fear in the enemy.
I see that Slats the Lightest Marine has been awarded a Purple heart and a Navy Cross – I’m surprised that there’s room on his scrawny breast to fit all of that phony finery. Those jump wings must make it hard for him to stand up. But I don’t think he could actually parachute – it takes 80 pounds to separate the jumper from the static line and I don’t think that even with a combat load, this waffle-eating ass-munch could make that weight. He might make a good wind dummy, though – or a lawn dart.
Josh said he hasn’t had any response to messages to Gregory, but that’s probably because he only speaks Français, you know, the language of all Marines.

He seems way too into the FET teams, but I think he’s the one who ultimately will need a rape whistle.
What part of Belgium is he from? Wallonia, Flanders, or that tiny German speaking sliver to the east? Wonder where he got that uniform to begin with, I know of a few Army and AF bases in Belgium but no Marines.
He probably ordered them online. MARPAT is difficult to find, but every other Marine uniform can be found just about anywhere.
Steely-eyed? More like beady-eyed. And the liberals want us to emulate Eurotrash like this? No thanks.
Looking at his profile it seems he is one of those military reenactor types. There’s photos of him in WW2 101st getup playing around in the woods. I don’t think this guy is out as a poser, but I do think he should play dress up without using the ribbons.
Ya know, I’m to the point that if these douche buckets need to impersonate something they never were or never will be to make themselves feel good then let them be. If in their own minds they’re ok with living a lie then what can you do to change them? If they’re so mental as to believe themselves how are you going to convince them otherwise? Either way they’re only fooling themselves and embarrassing themselves in front of everyone that knows them.
Not much we can do about this asshat, unfortunately. Unless he works for NATO, he’s likely beyond the reach of US authorities. And any US Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine who kicks his ass will only end up in a Belgian jail.
I can’t even get mad at this one. I’m laughing too hard. Notice his stance in every picture? Not even close. Gomer Pyle displayed more military bearing than this dude.
Thanks for the chuckle on this Friday morning.
@Old Trooper not to mention that there are apparently no tailors in Belgium unless he’s going for the Nicholas Cage look.
When I was stationed in Europe, I had Germans actually offer me a lot of money for my uniforms (and I’m fairly sure it’s not because they wanted to see me undressed). I’d stop at a gas station, and invariably some Deutscher would ask me how much I wanted for my regulation uniform, because they couldn’t actually get on base and get one. It’s possible Toothpick here just paid some cash to someone who was willing to sell him a USMC uniform and all the accoutrements.
“Comment of the Morning” award has to go to, Nicki! lmao!
I don’t think this qualifies as a reenactment photo since he has an OIF ribbon.
@Nicki I ran into the same situation when I deployed. The Brits were always wanting to trade their cammie shorts for MARPAT trousers that they would turn into shorts. It was super awkward the first time one attempted to trade since we didn’t know about the practice yet. My friends and I were at the DFAC, and this Brit guy walks up, slaps a pair of their shorts on the table, and asked us if we wanted to trade pants.
The terps were always wanting us to buy them Marine PT gear.
Finally, why do these stupid fucks always get covers that are four sizes too large? They look like fucking mushrooms, for Chrissakes.
How can you not fill out and extra small jacket? Geez…. and you’d think he’d use the same fruit salan on both uniforms…. his blues are missing half of the ribbons….
… unless the second four years spent as a DI gave him the “rest”… LOL
What a Maroon! No wonder the Germans roll thru Belgium every +/- 40 years….
Looked at his FB page, seems like an America lover, lots of pics having to do with WWII and of course he has a Marine Corps fetish.
I remember in Europe (staioned in Germany) in the 80’s the guys that went to Nijmegen said everybody loved the US , Canadian, and UK troops, the rest not as much.
Giving the guy the benefit of a doubt maybe he just a USA junkie, but wearing uniforms is a bit much, imagine him running into a real Marine and not speaking english, I see an ass stomping in short order.
Maybe someone who parlez le francais can politely correct this guy on his page. I would do it, but my French is terrible and my syntax would be non existant.
“Suck the Dick, a cow whore mother” might get a few laughs, but it wouldn’t quite get the point across.
@Ann! That’s hilarious! The Europeans love American shit, so I’m not surprised! Anything American is absolute gold to them! I was pretty shocked the first time, because they were willing to give me 800 marks (yes, this was in the mid-1990s) to take my uniform off. I soon learned it was pretty common, and it wasn’t because they wanted to see some American woman nekkid. They asked the guys too.
I think this douche is a fanboi more than anything else.
Guys like this always give me a good laugh, the ones I get pissed about are like the aforementioned douche, Ken Aden…
@Nicki: You need to post a pic and let us determine if those Germans just wanted to see a nekkid woman. In the name of full disclosure and all…
I met a Belgian in a bar wearing a USAF MSgt BDU top. He knew nothing about it, said it was left behind in a closet in a house he was hired to clean, by the AFSC badge it had belonged to a medic, he just thought it looked cool :P.
We also have host nation military members try to buy our PT uniforms. We don’t even like them (the swishy pants and tops), but I guess they do.

If spending time in a Belgian prison included Belgian (or German) beer, count me in.
Ummmmmm. . . Tastiest bier in the world.
@B Woodman Nah, you should go to Dutch prison. Since they manage to have weekly techno raves complete with glow sticks and strobe lights in Afghanistan then imagine how awesome the correctional amenities must be. They’re also all insufferably tall and good looking.
Hell, at this point, I’m just happy he wants to pretend being American, as opposed to a jihadi.
Doc, my photo is on my site. LOL
I’m fairly sure it wasn’t the nekkid, unless they were all bi.
@24 are you giving us the handi-man retard arm in that picture? I need to know if I should show fake outrage or not.
He is a fan not a taker…might be a tad misguided. Think of it similar to the kids that run around in olive field jackets because they look cool etc.
Have we been able to translate this yet? If not I have a friend who speaks fluent French who could let us know what if any claims he’s making.
Well, I do speak French, but I can’t get to his Facebook page, as Facebook requires me to sign in with an FB account (don’t have one, never will).
That said, from what I can get from the FB landing page and this guy’s Skyrock blog (link from FB: http://gregairborne.skyrock.com/) he seems like a serious fan (if a bit over the top), not an impersonator.
His blog (more of a photo gallery, actually) shows he’s quite into historical reenactment: see http://gregairborne.skyrock.com/4.html and over
He does look a bit… not the part, though.
@28 I suppose I’d rather have Europeans get a little too serious about liking the United States military instead of being one of those sanctimonious professional protesters.

Not so much concerned about this guy. Looks more like a Military collector/Renactor then someone who is actually try to pass himself off as a real Marine.

Nah, like everyone else commenting here it just looks like he’s a military re-enactor. I wouldn’t call him a poser, but judging from his profile he seems to be REALLY into his hobby. lol
