William Blake; phony Marine
Scotty sends us another phony Marine from his own research. William Blake apparently took Grenada back from the Cubans all by himself even though he looks like Zippy the Pinhead in a steel pot. For future reference Bill, Grenada was the first battle in which the US troops wore kevlar hear gear.
Here’s a screen shot of his Facebook page;
And he tells a chickie about his daring-do in Grenada, and apparently it was all about killing;
But if you look at Scotty’s page, he kind of gets distracted by the lady’s feet.
It turns out that he was a brig rat and discharged as an E-1 private three weeks before the Beirut bombing and the Grenada Invasion.

Sorry, Jonn. You got this one wrong.
This grade A killa used all caps. That is the secret code for Numba One Ninja in the Black Dragon Society.
I know I know…it is usually hush hush but I had to let you know otherwise you might get hurt.
OH…anohter word of warning don’t stare at the picture too long. that’s his Kill Face. he can’t be held liable for any damage done after prolonged stares.
The USMC taught him that. It has damaged relationships….hell of a deal.
This clown reminds me of what I flushed down the toliet this morning.
What a great way to start the day after a night of MNF, wings and lukewarm dfraft beer.
This clown is without a doubt the defenition of loose stool.
Semper Fuck. Spit on after Grenada? I think not!
Maybe he meant Greneda?
I guess that he never bothered to watch Heartbreak Ridge. If you’re going to fake being a Grenada vet, at least do the lazy man’s research.
Imaging that, another poser who types exclusively in all caps.
His name calls out for Sniper’s Poe-etic genius. But while we wait for the real talent…
Liar, liar, says “I fight!”
But he isn’t very bright.
What’s the world, by the bye,
He claimed for his discovery?
Was he first there? He called dibs?
Or…could he be telling fibs?
“Consecutive” means what, you dunce?
You don’t fire rifles two at once?
“Grenada Syndrome” – is that it?
I see you, and I want to spit.
You speak German? Well, that’s nice.
’cause I’m smelling Rinderscheiss.
It’s not his fault he has to talk loudly.
He probably meant Grenadine.
Minor point of correction. The 82nd Airborne and their contingents did in fact introduce the kevlar helmet to the modern battlefield. However, 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions (who actually jumped in) were still sporting the ever popular steel pot.
Wow, this is the first “Grenada Vet” poser that I have seen. It could be worse. He could be talking about all the combat he saw after we invaded Haiti.
I like how he list 6 consecutive Rifle expert awards with high scores of 246 & 247 out of a possible 250. But he’s not on the Marine rifle team. WTF ? Guess he was shooting at their feet & not the head & shoulders.
Born in ’63 and graduated college in ’80….hmmm at 17 he graduated high school AND college….what a special person!
Has anyone noticed a lot of these turds claim they speak multiple languages? I’m not a psychologist but is this be some kind of deep seeded source of angst for them? Something, just like their nonexistent or elaborated military service, that they see as a deficiency about themselves, and something they wish was true? It’s quite bizarre to me.
I mean it seems an almost absolute certainty that someone, at some point will call these people on their BS and query whether they truly “Sprechen Sie”. But then again, I would think they would be called on their military fantasies quite often too…
@ Steadfast and Loud:
YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE BLACK DRAGON SOCIETY!!
HA!
The Marines who went into Grenada wore steel pots, not kevlar, Not sure the exact date that they were phased in but My Unit in Camp Pendelton Didn’t get issued them until 85′. Its small details that often catch posers though, like changes in uniform regulations.
WHY DO THESE IDIOTS ALWAYS USE ALL CAPS?
Oopps .. sorry … caps lock got stuck!
Can someone splain to me what a Consecutive Rifle Expert is?
Thanks!
if i’d known he was there i would have gone home.
2 & 16
Ever since Count Dante* died, all the Black Dragon Society’s secrets have been leaking out.
*The World’s DEADLIEST man, according to the ads in my 1970s comic books.
There is SGT Rock and then this dude.
Tough.
@19, a consecutive rifle expert is someone who is expert at using consecutive rifles, such as the musket, which requires more than one if used in rapid succession as it requires a hand-loaded musket ball fired with powder…or something like that.
I can’t believe that nobody has brought up Eastwood’s Heartbreak Ridge movie. This guy was right there, when Profile got killed!
@24.
He was to busy hitting on Mario Van Peebles.
This reminds me of something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIjiwvY2F-0
Is it me or does that chick he’s having the conversation with seem to be trying to elicit? It’s overt and clumsy, but does appear to be an elicitation attempt.
Hey my recruiter never told me there was a slot in the Marines for World Discoverer, instead of 11B I might have gone marines and become a World Discoverer…what World did this asswipe discover? He already lives in the one where he is full of sh1t and lies to women to get them interested even while claiming to be in a relationship with another woman….
Lying sack of sh1t….too bad you go to jail for beating the p1ss out of these guys…a good beating seems a fair trade for selling all these f#cking lies…
This has been bothering me all day. He is so familiar to me. I have just figured out who William Blake looks like … Fireman Sam.

entry 28, no kidding. Damn, the USMC recruiter shared the same storefront in Mt. Oliver as the Army one. When the Army recruiter told me only Army puts jump school in your contract, the UPMC guy should of said something about WD. World Discoverer, UPMC sounds better than 11B1P peacetime. Too bad I am almost 50 or I would do it different this time. I feel cheated, somehow.
Dunno, MCPO – I think Jonn’s right. This sure looks a lot like him to me:
Could not find any references to a foot fetish in the biography of the Romantct poet William Blake, but I did find this bit of info about an incident of crowd action: “Blake’s first biographer, Alexander Gilchrist, records that in June 1780 Blake was walking towards Basire’s shop in Great Queen Street when he was swept up by a rampaging mob that stormed Newgate Prison in London. They attacked the prison gates with shovels and pickaxes, set the building ablaze, and released the prisoners inside. Blake was reportedly in the front rank of the mob during this attack. These riots, in response to a parliamentary bill revoking sanctions against Roman Catholicism, later came to be known as the Gordon Riots.” There is, fortunately, no other even vague resemblance to the great moron pictured in this column. In addition, I found this poem by the REAL William Blake, which I thought you all might enjoy: A War Song to Englishmen Prepare, prepare the iron helm of war, Bring forth the lots, cast in the spacious orb; Th’ Angel of Fate turns them with mighty hands, And casts them out upon the darken’d earth! Prepare, prepare! Prepare your hearts for Death’s cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth; Prepare your arms for glorious victory; Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare! Whose fatal scroll is that? Methinks ’tis mine! Why sinks my heart, why faltereth my tongue? Had I three lives, I’d die in such a cause, And rise, with ghosts, over the well-fought field. Prepare, prepare! The arrows of Almighty God are drawn! Angels of Death stand in the louring heavens! Thousands of souls must seek the realms of light, And walk together on the clouds of heaven! Prepare, prepare! Soldiers, prepare! Our cause is Heaven’s cause; Soldiers, prepare! Be worthy of our cause: Prepare to meet our fathers in the sky: Prepare, O troops, that are to fall to-day! Prepare, prepare! Alfred shall smile, and make his harp rejoice; The Norman William, and the learnèd Clerk, And Lion Heart, and black-brow’d Edward,… Read more »
these turds are not even trying to fake it, its downright laughable.
It should right out as ‘6th Award Expert’ ALSO with the # under Expert Rifle Qualifications in MOL if they have it.
too funny.
I think I saw this guy come in 15th place in the Special Olympics run
@34 he lacks the discipline and required moral fortitude to compete with the special olympians…
@ 18 “consecutive” expert would mean that he qualified so many times in a row. There is not an award for that, further exposing this numbnuts bullshit.The USMC has three qualification badges for weapons. There are only two weapons that rate them, the rifle and pistol. The awards are Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert.The courses of fire weapons and scoring system has changed over the years but those badges are the same. If you shoot expert more than once you can wear an attached bar saying “second award” on it. you only wear one bar on it, the latest one. Also you always wear the badge for the last time you qualified. If you shoot expert twice then drop to sharphooter for 3 years, you would wear a sharpshooter badge. if you make expert on your 6th year you would rate to wearan expert badge with a “3rd award Bar” on it. The award bars are really subsequent and not consecutive. As for this ass clown claiming to have shot 246 and higher 6 years straight, very unlikely, Most the all-time range records were that. In my 15 times of annually qualifying with a service rifle I dont think I saw anyone shoot above a 243, and these were details of 200-400 shooters. A guy like that would have been snatched up for the competetive marksmanship program ASAP. Back to badges. One of the exceptions to this rule is that if a Marine receives a medal for shooting in military competition he can wear those instead of his Qual badges. He may wear up to three of those, but no more than 2 per weapon.
If you look further into his work and education section you will see that he lists US Army AND…….wait for it…..First Aviation Brigade, Tan Son Nhut Vietnam 67-68.
Wait — Are you telling me that this Blake fellow, who was born in 1963, was stationed at Tan Son Nhut when he was 4 years old?
Wow! That story beats anything anyone else has cooked up.
Claims he was a combat engineer. Let me knwo when someone claims to be from Maintenance Battalion. I have a feeling ot will be a long wait.
Like I keep saying, I need to review before posting. Pen and ink change. Change “knwo” to “know” and “ot” to “to”. Be sure the Pubs NCO updates his records.
Probably pointed out already but the ONLY guys wearing K-Pots on Grenada was the 82nd. The Rangers and Marines wore M-1 Steel Helmets. The 82nd and Marines did have the PASGT vest, the Ranger wore no body armor.
There’s going to come a point I’m just going to bang my head into the wall after seeing all this stupidity.
I figure I’ll stop when I get tired of hearing squishy sounds.
*heavy sigh & head shaking* What a POS!!! I’m still waiting for some poser to claim to be an Amtracer!
He graduated from “Bartlesville College High School”? At 17? Which is it, high school or college? And, did he do a correspondence course from 67 to 68 while he was at Ton Son Nhut? I wasn’t aware that pre-school had correspondence or extension classes.
@39 Just so you don’t have to wait forever, I served in seven maintenance battalions as a 63H (actually started as a 635), but never a support battalion. When I finally made 63Z I got to move on to grander things. Taking care of other people’s toys wasn’t always fun, but it was almost always interesting.
So I see he has put up a picture of his Dept of Veterans Affairs ID card as proof that he was in The Corps.
Like there’s no fraud in the VA…/sarc.
@43 I was Teddy Rosevelt’s Amtrac driver during his assault up San Juan Hill. I hope you no longer feel left out.
I know I didn’t feel like a “real” Marine until I was issued my Consecutive Rifle.
Does anyone have good contact info and/or a good POC with the VA OIG? Seems to me that they might be interested in seeing what Scotty sent to NPRC and the NPRC reply. From what’s posted, it looks like he had a SSN and DOB; if those match what the VA has on file for this guy, well, someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.
Obtaining VA benefits with forged documents or under false pretenses is a Federal crime. And the VA OIG does occasionally investigate – and, when they can, burn – folks who do that.
