Meet Jaime St. Claire-de Janiero: Fake MARSOC/Recon Marine
(Thanks to the REAL Marines who are part of the F’n Boot Facebook group for the H/T)
This clown has been going around various Marine Corps message boards and FB groups claiming to be a Recon Marine and a MARSOC operator. There is no record of him on MOL. Here is a picture he has posted in several groups :
First of all he is wearing Warrant Officer One rank on the collar of what appears to be a Gortex jacket. Every Marine who has worn Gortex knows there is a flap towards the center of the jacket where you put your rank. Next, he is wearing a SCUBA bubble and a Combat Parachutist Badge on Gortex which you don’t do. Then there is some kind of patch on both his left and right breast. The only type of patches Marines wear today are name patches for flight suits and FROG gear. Marines have not worn unit patches on their uniforms since the end of WW2.
Here is another pic of him wearing the same outfit:
Here is a link to an album of pics he has posted on some Marine Corps Facebook groups. Most of the pics that he has are from MARSOC press releases or are stolen from other Marines’ photo albums. I am pretty sure those pictures that he has of the squad bay are from Major Jason Grose’s blog. He has also started his own blog, but he hasn’t made any posts yet. Looks like TAH has some competition! Here is the link to his Facebook page, which states that he is from Detroit. If you frequent any Marine Corps forums or internet groups and you see this clown, make sure to call him out. If any of you who live in Michigan run into this guy at any veterans events, well… use your discretion.
Finally, doesn’t his name just scream “gay porn”?

Ok, I’ve had it. I have to quit reading about these fakes or I’m gonna blow a blood vessel.
I remember it like it was yesterday, man. As part of a SOCOM exercise deep in the jungle, my team was helo’d in and set loose to rescue some civilians, including some wheel from the Guatemalan government, from the local bad guys. We got to the prisoners and humped our way back to the LZ when we ran into this gruesome scene…buncha Special Forces dudes hung up by their heels and skinned…nasty. Then one by one, my team started getting whacked until I was all alone. Out of ammo, I fashioned this kick-ass bow and arrow out of some shit I found in the jungle…then I unscrewed a few 40mm rounds and dumped the charge into some banana leaves and wrapped that shit up tight and tied it to the arrows. Then I made like all these cool ass traps and shit to take out that asshole who killed all my guys. So then I waiting until dark and sat there and I could see this crazy looking dude with dreadlocks in the fire I had made so I started shooting arrows and shit at him. Got him too…made him bleed for what he’d done. Then he chases me into my traps and a tree fell on his ass. Next thing I know, I’m getting picked up by CIA dudes in this black helo…and that’s how I got this CMA I’m wearing. True story.

Claymore: You forgot to start it off with the obligatory “No shit”. Just keepin it real, man.
You know I think that with people outside the Army it is harder to spot things that are out of place unless it is something like Purple Hearts or Silver Stars. Unless it is something major not of the items above I would have missed.
Why don’t any of these fellows ever pose as a cook? Or a Yeoman? Is it because they need junk on their chests to offset the lack of junk in their shorts?
Thanks to TAH for calling this out and you are correct, those are my squadbay pics (Originals at http://www.grose.us/family/sd_wrr20052.htm). I left some choice comments for this prick on the pictures. I appreciate the mention and also the housecleaning. I guess I can be thankful that these buttclods can’t even do a passable job at pulling these things off so they are so easy to spot. Semper Fi.
And now his Facebook page has vanished. I guess when you’re a MARSOC operator, you have to vanish into the ether when spotted…
No sh*t, there I was… another 12-hour shift in the TOC doing PowerPoint (92Y, I should be fixing weapons, by my ass had to get smart on Microsoft Office) when all of a sudden higher comes down with ANOTHER FRAGO to the OPORD telling our subordinate units’ subordinates what to do, so we have to jump through our ass to make our sh*t fit… then, four hours later, they do it again with another FRAGO that forgets about have the changes of the previous one we just did and we have to jump through our asses once more. Painful. And, ’cause we stayed late getting this sh*t down, they’d run out of chow by the time we got to the mess tent so it was MREs again (that f*ckin’ Black Bean Burrito one, too). The S3 said, proudly, “Now you can brag you’ve missed meals!” What a tool. To re-enlist for this sh*t, I gonna get Airborne School out it. At least some hajji motherf*cker didn’t try to randomly rocket our asses or a shamal didn’t leave us hawking up sand out of our sinus for hours again today.
P.S. The picture is gaytarded.
Pretty sure I see this guy on campus a few days a week.
Where do you go to school Joe?
AW Tim I was at a couples support group once and everyone claimed to be a cook…
Let’s turn this guy into the next the ballduster…..
NR Pax–His FB page is back up, or at least it was never down.
hahahaha i hate this guy http://www.myspace.com/theangry_lover
i caught this poser on another site so we dug up some dirt on him and found that. this prick must be a real fucking loser or just plain certifiable

Jason Grose March 18 at 8:03pm
You really want to go down this road? I’d cut my losses if I were you because you are pissing up the wrong tree, my friend. I can disprove you with very little effort. If you want, we can get the FBI involved if four years in the clink sounds like fun.

Jaime St Clair-de Janiero March 19 at 4:34am
Lets go down it…I earned my title…yes I might have been wearing an unauthorized uniform and rank as well ok
I apologize for that the pics shown of me in that uniform were from a halloween party however I did earn the title Marine but I was injure in a training accident. nothing glorious just a stupid fuckface in my fireteam did something stupid..I ended up a clerk I admit..I did earn my jump wings before that happened..
—————————————————
The next step was a quiz I sent him: ——————————————— OK, let’s see how you do. What were your Drill Instructors’ names? What platoon, company, and battalion were you in during bootcamp? Why did JJ tie that buckle? Who in the platoon does something different than all the rest during the call “EYES RIGHT” and why? When is the only time a recruit can have coffee? What is blousing? How does one tie laces and why that particular way? How is Sunday worship handled for recruits? Where does it take place? What does the graduating recruit get to do the Sunday morning before graduation after services? Who assigns fire watch? How far is the bolt broken down during cleaning? Describe exactly what happens from the moment a recruit gets off the bus to the time they enter receiving. What is the unofficial name of the moment a recruit meets his Drill Instructor? What colors are the carrels in the contraband room? When is the first time a recruit make a phonecall? Who does he call? How does he know what to say? How is the situation handled when multiple platoons show up at the chowhall? What is “early chow” and “late chow”? When does the clock officially start during a PFT run? What is the starting position for a pull up? What is a side straddle hop? What is its starting position? What prevents recruits AND Drill Instructors from messing with the weapons in the squadbay? What are the towels called that are used to clean the squadbay? How many loops in green trousers? What does each loop signify? If you have to go to the bathroom, describe the exchange between you and the Drill Instructor. When is the only time in bootcamp you can smoke? Describe the position of attention as a Drill Instructor would (in other words, precisely) What are boot bands? What are they used for? What is normally heard at night as a firewatch? What if a DI or an Officer walked in during your tour as firewatch, what do you do? What are the two… Read more »
And his stellar answers:
————————————-
okay long list sooooooo…..I dont have the time to read all of this…overweight that is funny that is porkchop platoon PCP Physical Conditioning platoon…If I gave you my platton number in basic you could then know my name and I’d prefer that not to happen (its ****) I will remember my DI’s names (Staff Sgt. ++++ Sgt. +++ and Sgt ++++ till I die…blousing is the act of tucking in the bottom part of utility pants into the boot. side straddle hop is a jumping jack you cannot smoke at all in Marine Corps Basic Training…oh and a shirt stay is like a cummerbun type undergarment that makes damn well sure if your in dress blue charlies (i.e) you shirt doesnt come out….Your first phoine call is notably kinda sad because of the unimaginative little speech that is posted that must be followed…oh and
I’ve been on his ass as well, get him riled up and he begins to make mistakes. He’s now claiming he was 0311 instead of 0321.
My final reply:
————————————
You just gave yourself away. You are a fake and this conversation is over. You never went to bootcamp or you could answer ALL of those questions off the top of your head and the some of ones you did answer were blatantly wrong. I’m not going to point out your mistakes (there are a lot of them) because I don’t want you a “better” fake next time. Just give it up, you lost this one. And if you persist, I will follow through with my promise to get the FBI involved.
Some notes on his answers:
“blousing is the act of tucking in the bottom part of utility pants into the boot”
Yeah, if you are in the Army.
“oh and a shirt stay is like a cummerbun type undergarment that makes damn well sure if your in dress blue charlies (i.e) you shirt doesnt come out…”
Really, a cummerbun? I didn’t get my CUMBER BUN until I was a Major with my Mess Dress.
I like how he could look up some of those answers on the net yet he still gets them wrong.
Also, I noticed that he failed to answer some important ones,all of which even I could tell were from Marine lore, and I was an Army grunt.
questions like:
“Why did JJ tie that buckle?”
“When is the only time a recruit can have coffee?”
“What is the “San Diego pause” and what causes it?”
I would love to know those answers and the stories behind them
Just like every grunt should know what to do with a drunken Ranger.
Jeez Claymore, they based a documentary on your story. Called it Predator or something like that. Man, that was you?

I would be happy to pass along his real identity (address & phone numbers too) as he is a thief as well as a liar. I was a vicim of his scam. Some of the stories he told me would make a real marine’s blood boil. He needs to be taught a lesson.
Victim,
I would suggest you hit the “contact us” link at the top of the page and send that John’s way….I recommend letting him decide what info appears publicly on his blog (If this guy is that big a douche, he’ll get nailed)
im really tired of this guy, this ass hole really needs to be taught a lesson. this makes my blood boil and im not even a marine yet. my father was along wit my two cousins but this guy should b reported to FBI especially if he said go ahead and he answered those questions wrong. cant wait to find out wat those things were though, that i didnt know lol. whoa bootcamp is gonna b fun.
PS. does anyone agree with me that is u get injured during bootcamp and drop does that still make u a MARINE? LMAO! wat a dumbass
Yup, if you don’t get your Globe & Anchor, you’re still a “recruit” and not a Marine.
IronKnight: I tried to minimize questions he could find on the net and you are right, some of the questions are Marine lore only a true Marine would know but I will answer your specific ones here:
“Why did JJ tie that buckle?” – Answer: this is an acronym (JJDIDTIEBUCKLE) that stand for the 14 leadership principles. I asked it in a way that hopefully would not give away it as an acronym. In bootcamp, we are taught many lists of items that require acronyms to recall and this is one of the most famous. Another dead giveaway is if they think it’s the 14 leadership traits, which are represented by another acronym. Recruits invariably screw this up (“Are there 14 traits or 14 principles? 11 Traits? 11 principles? SHIT!”)
“When is the only time a recruit can have coffee?” – Answer: never. Recruits are not allowed any caffeine to include coffee, soft drinks, or any kind of energy drink. We drink water and in the chowhall, there is juice and milk. I would have also accepted something to do with visitor’s Thursday (used to be Sunday before graduation) when the Recruit gets a few hours with his family who come to visit. He normally gets sick eating candy and junk (maybe even coffee or soda) while on with his family on the Depot.
“What is the “San Diego pause” and what causes it?” – Answer: since the Depot shares a fenceline with the San Diego Airport runway, the roar of the planes taking off drown out everything, even Drill Instructors. So anything being relayed to the Recruits is paused for about 10 seconds while the plane takes off. It is a little surreal to listen to a royal ass-chewing, have it paused and the DI go into an almost serene state, and then explode all over again when the plane is done.
Will someone please contact me about this I was just scammed by this douchebag! I am so PISSED!!!!!
[…] know who this douchebag is? He’s another poser who wants you to believe he’s a Marine RECON Warrant Officer and has pulled this on FB and […]
So what happened to this guy? Nobody metioned that he kept referring to boot camp as “basic training”. In the Marine Corps it is Recruit Training or basic training. Major Grose- I couldn’t remember a couple of your boot camp questions but then again it has been almost 14 years and I could answer some of the tell tail ones like “where was your platoon picture taken” and he one about the Green Monster. You try to buy shirt stays are in the civilian world and they try to give you collar stays. Anyway, thanks for the laugh. I hope you do pursue this jackass until he breaks or gets himself into legal trouble. It kind of cheapens what those of us who actually did earn the title accomplished in boot camp and more importantly after.
To Anonymous #31:
It is an Eagle, Globe and Anchor, not just a “globe and anchor”. After boot camp most people call it an “EGA” but don’t try that in boot camp. You will find yourself on the quarterdeck very quickly. Hey. there’s another question this douche probably couldn’t answer: “what is a quarterdeck and for what purpose is it used?”
Also…even if he did make it to jump school, he wouldn’t have made it to military freefall which is what his wings signify
He got arrested and is currently awaiting charges on fraud. He was also impersonating a DEA agency.
Did he chicken wing it or college boy roll it? Only a Marine would know what it means.
“What is the “San Diego pause” and what causes it?”
That’s funny. I never heard it referred to by that name before, but I could have told you what it was anyway. Easily one of the most frustrating parts of boot camp: DI calling cadence – plane goes overhead – DI’s command gets drowned out – platoon fucks up the march – everyone goes to the pit.
I was contacted by this guy. Anybody have more information about him and who do you contact about this kind of fraud? He is claiming to be a decorated marine… He has another facebook page under Jamie Sainte Claire (Jamie January).
He’s already on P.O.W. Network’s list of phonies:
http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies1270.htm
But you can always contact them with updates, if he’s still trying to pass himself off as something he’s not. Fucking posers wearing my uniform piss me off.
im running into these jackbuts every day out here some time it really gets to me ,but then i think to myself these jack asses only want to be somthing that they truly don’t understand. Meaning a dive bubble and gold jump wings a.k.a. dual cool is only eye candy. A means of insertion and exstraction, not meatand potatoes. I BeanSoup known throughout the Force Recon community have witnessed these things in my day. there is only a few dark green marine myself know that there is only a hand full of us in the Recon community, and the ones that truly are who they say they are; are usually bad ass dudes. Normally I can tell if they’re BS’ers or not, they always come off all grunt like gunho, but never really study who they are trying to betray. Ask them simple things about the Recon community or about someone that’s at that unit that they say they were at. They have no idea of any of these matters. I just ran into a guy at a gym in Dothan,Al, who said he was at second Force and that he had went to marine combat dive school in Keywest,FL. I thought to myself “what a moron”. I confronted him in frontof his four buddies who thought that this guy was just a marine god, he cowardly grabbed his towel and what pride that was left and tucked it between his legs and left the gym. I later found out that had a six month membership but never returned. I was at Alpha Company third Recon k-bay,Hi fifth force Recon company okanowa,japan.
Stop with the wisecracks about cooks. My dad was a cook in Vietnam (68-69 Quin Nhon-I hope I spelled it right) and I have no less respect for him. He went even with 7 kids at home. Any rank or MOS will defraud. Do not make the assumption that all highly decorated personnel are lying. More than not, they are not. Remember the 10% rule, I think it is 15% now. To all Combat Vets of which I am not, if you served your time honorably and returned home with just your campaign medals, be happy. It could have been much worse. My son is a shinning example of it. Take Care Semper Fi!!!
Anonymous,
I don’t think anyone here will detract from the service of a cook, or any other service member for that matter, unless it is in jest or for the sake of inter- and intraservice rivalry. Rather, we merely point out that no one wants to make a false claim to be anything other than a “high-speed, low drag” sort. If someone claimed to have been a Reserve laundry and shower specialist who served stateside only it would likely not be challenged. Instead, they seek to impress people with stories of their days as a “Green Beret Delta Sniper”.
His bubble his upside down in that first picture!! Ha.
Travis “AKA BeanSoup” Bean
I have been looking for you for years bro!Please E-mail me ASAP shickman18@gmail.com. Great to finally find you!!!!
the wings don’t signify a freefall qualified jumper. There are requirements as for getting them with a certain amount and type of static line jumps. It just so happens that right out of MFF, you meet those requirements. Travis Bean is right, they are just a way to get to work, nothing on your chest shows how many months you spent in the “jay” during an Oki summer/typhoon, or how many bolt teeth you broke from firing hundreds of thousands of rounds, or how many meals and nights of sleep missed all in the name of being prepared. These kids want to embody rambo, and don’t realize that that is >1% of your career if your lucky.

The funny thing about this leaf eating douche bag is that hes so stupid he has the combat diver badge on upside down. Fucking idiot
I have the so much respect for Marines. This guy claims he won the CMA. I think he meant the CMH but spells honor with an A. Congressional Medal of Awner? I don’t think you current and former Marines should let this guy slide. My dad was in the Marine Corps and was killed in Viet Nam in 1968 when I was 14 months old. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a United States Marine. Unfortunately I lost all vision in my left eye, and 50% in my right when I was 12. I would have settled for a desk job but I was told there was no way I would be allowed into the Corps. Anyway…love n respect all of you, and show no mercy on this guy for men like my dad, and guys like me who can’t become Marines because of a injury or ailment.
I saw this maggot on the POW Network.
Fucking Turd.
