David Gess; phony Marine colonel
Someone sent us their work on this David Gess fellow. He tells people that he’s a retired Marine colonel, that he flew F-4 Phantoms before he began in the intelligence field. He gives advice to cadets about how “military leadership compares to leadership in the corporate world”;
If you look at his Facebook page, he has pictures that are supposed to be him while he was in military school;
I don’t know if those are actually pictures of him or not, but what’s strange about those pictures is that there are no pictures of him in a Marine uniform. It just seems odd to me that he’d have pictures of himself as a cadet, but not as a Marine. I guess he doesn’t because he was never a Marine, according to the National Personnel Records Center;
By the way, if you’re getting financial advice from him, you should probably stop doing that;

Wow…his Facebook profile sure came down quick.
You
Asked for it
You got it
No-ter-ioty
(with apologies to Toyota)
Again, tip of the shit iceberg.
Cambridge U, huh? Didn’t someone else claim to go there for something or other? Or was it that other school, Whatsis U?
I guess these people think it’s hard to check these things out, but it isn’t. I would just love to hear his accent.
Maybe, he’s a member of Menses
And visited SWEADEN in his travels…
Undoubtedly Menses, the Mittelschmerz chapter.
Entirely possible…

Caimbridge…the warrior chef, said he got a degree in food science there..a doctorate if I recall.
Seems to me the pagan lady USAF “explosives expert” also claimed to have gotten an advanced degree from Cambridge.
My bad…the POW warrior chef claimed Cornell gave him a doctorate, not Cambridge.lol
Ex,
That’s WatsaMatta U.
Thank you!
Wait . . . I thought this was Watsamatta U?
(smile)
Did he have the coveted MOS of “expertise with weapons”? Steve Cushman’s wing man? I wonder if he has ever considered opening a Christian Taekwondo franchise. Maybe he would like a brochure.
Gess who! Fuck you.
Yep.
Just another marginal shitbag.
And he is around kids.
Scary.

These guys still have the original post up..
Has anyone sent them this info? I know I would be very embarrassed to have someone speak at a gathering, and then find out he is a phone AFTER the fact.
Meant to say phony. Damn autocorrect.
Yes, I sent them a msg with a link back to this post.
Too bad… if he got a fee for speaking I hope they can claw it back.
WHOA, no Martial Farts Black Belt, Sniper or POW claims? Has he claimed “Honorary Rank” status yet? I wonder if his ass isn’t jealous of the volume of shit that has come out of his mouth? He’s proof that shit can sprout limbs and walk, I wonder what else will be found out about him?
‘proof that shit can sprout limbs and walk’ – Proud, I am SOOOOO stealing that.
BE MY GUEST!!
Me too…just the best what do you call them ?
“…shit can sprout limbs and walk”? Wait a minute! How did Obutthead get into the conversation? Bwahaha!
F-4 Phantom driver, eh? Did he pilot the version from Revell or the one from Tamiya ???
Don’t know about him but when I was a kid I preferred the Revell models.
LOL!
Posers don’t know the culture.
In the Corps, if you were an officer in another job slot (zoomie, arty, grunt, etc) and end up in Intel, it’s usually because you screwed the pooch to a seriously major degree in that other job slot.
Moving to intel, for officers, is most often a form of internal exile.
Example: The OIC of 2MarDiv G2 back in the early 80s was a Major that’d gotten shit canned from arty for transporting a truck load of 8″ arty shells with the fuses put into the fuse wells to “save cargo space”. We know no one died, otherwise, they’d have shit canned him to food services.
I’m sure there are some officers that transfer to intel from other specialties who aren’t fuckups, if for no other reason than to confuse people. But, they’d be rather rare critters.
I work with a USMC Major who was a helicopter pilot now working Intel. His vision no longer us good enough for him to fly. Or so he says. I’ll start interrorgating him for the inside scoop tomorrow.
^ That isn’t true anymore. I recruited for the MC and infantry, intel, and pilot are three of the hardest jobs to get as an officer because everybody wants to do them.
“Graduate of Millersburg Military Institute”
Sounds pretty important, huh? Except that MMI is just a grades 6-12 private boarding school.
He is listed as a graduate of the Class of 69.
The school is now undergoing the throes of bankruptcy and is closing/has closed it’s doors due to declining enrollments.
Damn!!! Do I feel like a fool or what? Since he had claimed to have been a Marine, I took his investment advice and put our whole shebang in in the Ponzi Investment Company with guaranteed annuities starting in 2005. Ten years now and don’t have the first check. He was pretty slick, I’ll give him credit. First he had surgery, then some family members died, then his dog became ill with inoperable cancer of the rectum, finally HE had lost most all the money to some Nigerian scheme (wanting him to accept five million dollars for assisting in depositing money in his bank). The final straw was when he invested all our money in Magic Pigeon Turds which would cure baldness and short dick syndrome. All my hopes of being an NBA player went up in smoke.
Anybody on here old enough to remember “Hee-Haw”?????
Until I saw the picture of the two dudes in uniform up at the beginning of the post, I had absolutely no idea “String Bean” (David Akeman, real name) had attended a military school. I’ll bet some of you other pervs remember those big boobs on the blonde.

I sent the link to this article to his church choir member and this was the reply:
Bill: Interesting. Who are you, and why are you sending me this? I appreciate the information, but I am curious as to why you care about this.
John (thatz my alias): Just a concerned person fighting against stolen valor is all. You were on this person’s friends list and the best way to combat that is with close friends.
Bill: I have suspected this for a long time. He is my best bass singer in my church choir. He brags about all of the above quite a bit. What should I do about this?
What they can do is send this maggot packing.
Dude looks like a closet pedophile and a church is a prime hunting ground.
