Richard Arlington; phony combat hero

| August 1, 2016

arlington-ss

Our friends at Military Phony send us their work on this fellow, Richard Dale Arlington, an author of a self-help book and a motivational speaker;

arlington-speaking

Arlington claims to be a Sergeant of Marines and a Silver Star Medal recipient, presumably from Beirut or Grenada the only two instances of the application of Marine Corps force during his service.

The National Personnel Records Center disagrees with his version of events. They say that Dick was a Corporal when he got out of the Marines in 1987 and there are no valor medals in his records, not unusual for a fellow who fixes airplanes and has little chance to be valorous. I see he does have the Basic Nutrition Course which indicates that there may have been some violent encounters when someone got between Dick and the chowline. It ain’t easy maintaining that distinctive potato shape;

Hey Dick Arlington – have some Google love you fucking shitbag. Looks like somebody needs to head back to the Pork Chop Platoon for a refresher course in drinking water until you puke.

Prior Service

Surprised to see that the Marines have a dress uniform that big.

The Other Whitey

I didn’t know they made Marine Blues in fat bastard sizes.

Ncat

They were only for those who passed the grueling basic nutrition course.

Akpual

Looks like he’s eaten a lot of gruel. He definitely asked for more.

He had it hand-made by Omar the Tentmaker, who is now completely out of fabric…

HMCS(FMF) ret.

I wonder if he heard this before? Miss the comedy of John Pinette

I bet he had it custom made for him by The Eureka Tent Factory®™.

We had Round Ranger. Now we have Round Marine.

Hondo

sj: that would be Round Marine v2.0. Have your forgotten this guy?

Daaaamn! How could I forget him? He was my guy in a tournament but, if i remember correctly, Bernasty had that one locked up like Hilary has the DNC.

Those were the days.

Combat Historian

Looks like this POS ate The Round Marine for lunch; that makes him THE ROUNDEST MARINE…

swormy

Two Round Marines enter, only one Round Marine leaves….lets get it on!!

Mick

RounderDome?

A Proud Infidel®™

HONDO is right, what say we call him “The Roly-Poly Marine”?

Claw

Tricky Dick Arlington III is the Round Marine’s Mini-Me.

The reason I say Tricky Dick is because finding/actually seeing his dick on a regular basis is a trick.

Hondo

Hmm. Discharged after an odd length of service (4 yrs 4 1/2 mo), with all assignments to installations in CONUS, and attended the “Basic Nutrition Course”. And today looks like the Goodyear Blimp in a USMC dress uniform.

For some reason, the phrase “weight control program” comes to mind.

PTBH

Arlington said he got out on a medical discharge. He claims that a Navy surgeon’s scalpel broke off in his ankle during surgery and he was discharged for it. Otherwise, he was going to make the Marine Corps a career.

Haven’t listened to the entire hour long radio show yet, was hoping to find a gold nugget. He talks about the Marines though.

TopGoz

There is no attending the course “Basic Nutrition.” It is a correspondence course, not unlike Personal Finance and The Marine NCO – courses that, at the time, every Marine would have been required to take if they wanted to get promoted.
Also, f**k him and the camel he rode in on (then barbecued and ate).

Hondo

Thanks, Top. Assumed it was a resident course since NPRC listed it on the NA 13164, but that’s not always the case.

Just An Old Dog

Hondo, pretty sure the clerk who typed it up put in his delayed entry date for the start. The other record on Scotty’s pages shows he entered active service on 7 January 83, Discharged 5 Jan 87.
He was a winger who spent probably close to a year getting MOS qualifications at Millington and Cherry Point.
As far as the Basic Nutrition Course MCI, I suspect he was on Weight control and had to take that as part of the program.
I also suspect he was non-recommended for Sergeant due to his weight.
The wing tends to be a bit hesitant to boot first termers out for weight alone. It takes a long time to train someonew to work on electrical components of a bird.
My younger brother basically spent the last two years of his 6 years in on light duty ( no PT) because of a bad knee. He could do his job and still conformed to wt/ht standards so they just extended his chits out.

Hondo

Thanks, JAOD. I’d missed the DMDC manpower page. Looks like the guy probably just had a standard 4 year enlistment and separated afterwards.

Mick

After looking at his records posted above, it appears that he spent his entire enlistment (after training/schools) in the avionics shop at VMA-311, MAG-13, 3rd MAW, when they were still based at MCAS El Toro, CA and flying A-4M Skyhawks. He was discharged/separated from MCAS El Toro.

No combat. No Silver Star. No CAR.

And I concur with JAOD: this buffoon was probably a Fat Body on weight control. So no promotion, and no re-enlistment. But the squadron probably kept him around and wrenching on airplanes, because those old A-4M aircraft were getting to be pretty old, cranky, and tired by the mid 1980s.

Whoa. Somewhere, a circus is missing its tent.

Instinct

And it’s elephant.

Dapandico

Does he live in a taco truck down by the river?

B Woodman

Motivational speaker? And he couldn’t motivate himself out of a few pounds to fit into that blue tent better?

Bobo

He might motivate me to supersize it. Otherwise, nope.

Daisy Cutter

I’m so motivated I’m going to buy me a van and live down by the river.

Mick

So he’s claiming a Silver Star and a Combat Action Ribbon, eh?

Not a chance. He spent his time in the avionics shop out at VMA-311, MAG-13, 3rd MAW, when they were still located up at MCAS El Toro, CA.

This assclown was never anywhere near a combat zone.

This Stolen Valor crap really pisses me off.

Bag Nasty lying MFer

The Fat bastard needs to change his last name. This lying scumbag shouldn’t share the same name as the place where we lay our heroes to rest.

ex-OS2

Cocksucker.

This guy….just damn. What a worthless sack of fat. Maybe he’s like Gomer Pyle and he gains weight when he’s in the field.

Skippy

Turd !!!!!
Enjoy your Google fame you have earned it

Hack Stone

Motivational speaker? Does he motivate competitive eaters?

F@ckyocouch

“Rich Arlington and Associates, that works with facilities around the country to achieve better risk management for their exterior services. The Company also consults to lawn care, landscape and snow management businesses to improve profits, operations, marketing, and safety practices. In addition, Arlington specializes in legal consulting, such as litigation in the areas of snow management and landscape practices.”

Legal consulting on snow management and landscaping? Talk about making mountains out of mole hills. I’ve see a ton of craptastic resumes and mountains of b.s. that people write to try and make it look like a career as a 7-11 clerk is as important as curing cancer, but damn. B.A.W. (Big A$$hole Windbag).

F@ckyocouch

That’s a HUGE bitch!!

That’s one big Bitch!

He, man! Keep it in the Circus!

FREEEEEEAAAAAAK!

Behemoth!

jonp

That one was easy to spot. The Navy doesn’t have a ship in the fleet that could carry that wideass and no airplane or chopper could take off with him onboard

jarhead

How many times do I have to remind y’all NOT to call a Marine “Boy”? Now see if you can remember this for once…..it’s the Pillsbury Dough Marine!

Flagwaver

Forget going full retard… Dude went fucking russet. I think the only way he qualifies as a combat hero is because he are a sub sandwich while wearing his TA-50.

jarhead

So, he’s the author of a self-help book?????? Does that mean he can write but he can’t read? WTH??????
One hash mark and three chins. Is this freak an Oriental? Betcha his dog is named Rin Chin Chin Chin.
Second picture down he resembles Jonathan Winters. Except Jonathan Winters was never pregnant.

Hack Stone

But Jonathon Winters did serve in the Marine Corps during WWII. I believe that he participated in the invasion of Okibawa. I read an interview that he did where he said that he was kept on ship until he turned 18, then would be put ashore. That move did not make it any safer for him, as his ship was hit by a kamikaze plane.

Buck

Jarhead, not trying to criticize you, but your remark about his dog name should be Rin Chin Chin Chow.

Does he mean the ability to keep his uniform together when trying to wear it by looking like a stuffed potato sack forced into uniform? Does “corporate” actually mean “corpulent” for the oversized phony/embellisher finery industry? 🙄

His battle cry is, I’ll take 4 with everything!!!!

Hack Stone

His favorite war movies are Pork Chop Hill and Hamburger Hill.

Silentium Est Aureum

Silver Star, good cookie, and no CAR.

Sure, why the fuck not?

Mick

This assclown is actually sporting a CAR in the photo of him in the khaki USMC Summer Service “C” shirt at the top of the page.

Going all out while rockin’ the Stolen Valor lie.

Green Thumb

He looks like a giant bag.

You know, the type you pick up HUGE steaming piles of Phil Monkress with.

Fat sack of shit.

Ex-PH2

Never met a buffet he didn’t like. Where most of us would be happy with one piece of cheesecake, he’d run off with the entire thing. He’d scare the owner of a Chinese buffet.
Yes, he does motivate me – to push my plate away.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

From Military Phony … Yeah his Military Education includes: Basic Nutrition

He clearly failed that course!

swormy

He has the coveted “Letter of Appreciation”, so he’s got that going for him…

Starbux

He’s the president and CEO if a lawn care company. Basically he started a business mowing people’s lawns.

I hope his next job his dog butt hole MX.

Fucking Shit Bag!

Pinto Nag

He looks like a blood-swollen deer tick.

Ugh. I just grossed myself out.

Tony180a

Oh for Fuck Sakes!!

Just An Old Dog

Apparently the AL lodge he posed in front of has been made aware of his shennanagins. He was a guest speaker for them in the past. The leadership didnt seem too pleased.

jarhead

So this fool has authored a book and called it, “Why not you?” Knowing the term “This Ain’t Hell” is followed in smaller letters “but you can see it from here”; Lying Lard ass might consider a small addition to his short name for his book. How does this sound?

“Why Not You…then we BOTH can be liars and B. S. artists?”

ocean12

During my active duty time in the Navy, I worked with some fantastic air wing Marines. I remember one went to embassy duty and another completed his jurist doctorate.

Dick you can go pound sand.
