The round Marine
Updated; We found him.
Chris sent us this picture so we can put out an APB on the turd roller;
He looks like may have eaten a Marine once, in fact there might a couple buried in his neck fat. What’s with the phonies thinking they can get away with wearing the SEAL Trident lately? And isn’t the EOD badge an Army badge? I guess the boy thinks he can mix and match service appurtenances like Soup.
Anyway, someone must know this guy out there. We need a name and an address so we can pull his records and embarrass the shit out of him. But we’ll never be able to embarrass him as much as he’s embarrassed us.
Updated; We found him.

At the risk of sounding like I’m defending Larry Gugle, he wore ribbons he didn’t rate (and was reduced from E-8 to E-7 as a result), but he had them on properly. He was a squared away poseur (he was an ‘fing DI after all).
After retiring, he continued the charade and promoted himself to Sergeant Major. Technically, he should have posed as a Master Gunnery Sergeant, since he was a radio tech.
If the guy above was ever in the service, I’ll bet he never made it through the basic training of whatever service he attempted.
Here is another link to this dirtbag. He has obviously has a chronic problem of being a phony. I became aware of him two years ago from the attached link. http://www.thewalkingdead.org/home/wannabeheros.html
I thought he looked familiar. This dude should do some serious time, he cannot claim ignorance.

So he was a GySGT in the Corps…someone explain this to me; why was that not honorable enough that he’d have to go and fuck it all up by claiming all this other horseshit? I’m truly stumped.
They need to create a separate category for the jesse macbeth awards: heaviest mo-fo.
Chunkiest poseur since heavy top.
Could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that there were some Coasties going to BUD/S. I also thought some of the MARSOC guys went to BUD/S as well.
That aside, this guy is a JOKE!!!!!!
Ditto the concern that this POS isn’t Gugle. If it is, he’s added the a new rank, fourragère, EOD and SEAL badges, not to mention an ass load of new medals that are all jacked up. He also forgot where to put the expert pistol badge. My $.02 is that this is a new guy that looks like Gugle, only more f’d up and a lot fatter.

@51: A Marine’s MOS does not determine if they become a SgtMaj; any GySgt can express a desire and, if selected become a 1stSgt. After that, the next promotion is SgtMaj. Otherwise, GySgts who do do not desire consideration for or do not get selected for 1stSgt can still be selected for MSgt; following that, MGySgt.
None of which changes the fact that this guy is a total bag of s**t, regardless of his true identity.
I think maybe he won the trident as a prize for eating an Elephant Seal at a bar and grill someplace?
NH Sparky,
Regarding your comment @39, there is at least one Marine on active duty who is also a SEAL, as I went to OCS with him back in the summer of 1999. He was an enlisted SEAL and wanted to fly for the Navy, but they told him he was too old to go to flight school. He got an age waiver from the Marine Corps and is now an F/A-18 pilot. The Navy’s loss is the Marine Corps’ gain b/c he’s a great guy and a damn good officer. And, BTW, the Marine Corps told him that the Trident was not authorized for wear on the Marine Corps uniform. That may’ve changed in the ensuing years, but he was not allowed to wear it when we graduated and got commissioned.
$20 says he keeps his spare medals in his fat rolls.
@Just Plain Justin And if that didn’t work then I guess his only alternative would be sitting on that poor seal. I propose we name this schmuck Snorlax since he fits the description very well.
I don’t think Gugle is this guy. I also think you’re all racist since you think all fat white guys look alike. Shame on you.
Where the are the RVN ribbons, also looks like he got a Navy Cross and MOH. What an asshole.
looks like a moving terrain feature….
I can’t decide which comment I thought was funnier: Jason’s comment #60, or El Marco’s #66. 🙂
It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
This type of fraud is absolutely the worst. He had an honorable career, with a couple of hiccups, that any Marine would be proud of, yet that wasn’t ‘t good enough. He, above anyone else, should have realized what he was doing. There should be some way to rescind their Honorable Discharge if they got one.
looks like he is a slick bomb, guess he couldn’t spare the extra $3 to bump it up to master.
Photo’s don’t match up…..He’s still a *dickweed* in the wild.
Mary at POW Network just emailed us for help IDing him, so I guess she doesn’t think it’s Gugle, either.
It’s the Michelin Man.
Brian @61–Like I said, I didn’t KNOW of any, never said there weren’t any. But what you say makes perfect sense.
And I’m kind of leaning towards this guy NOT being Gugle, simply because this douchebag has his ribbons all jacked up, wrong order, wrong devices, etc.
He should apply for an interservice transfer to the Navy and become a blimp. I hear that the Coast Guard and/or Border Patrol need really big balloons for some sort of surveillance operations too.
Oh, you guys have it all wrong. He was just trying to honor those that actually earned those medals and knew he was one of very few of the willing that could fill out a uniform big enough to fit every ribbon ever made on it.
You should know that he spent HIS OWN money having a custom uniform made and buying all those ribbons.
And he HAD planned on eventually arranging them into the proper order of precedence to replace those crazy posters at the PX, with biological art.
@#11 AdirondakPatriot-it’s not a aguillette. It’s a French fouriegeurre. More commonly known as the pogey rope. I’ve still got mine from my time with 5th Marines. However the one I was issued way back when (1987) had a black tip. And it is worn with service and dress uniforms-under the epaulet on service and over the epaulet on dress (eppaulets are sewn down on dress blues. Regardless, this fat fucktard probably never was a Marine. let alone a CAP or even a cub scout
Stacy: Thanks for clarifying. In the Coast Guard, the only people who wear such things are company commanders in boot camp (whom I tried to avoid at all costs) and junior officer aides to admirals (whom I try to avoid at all costs to this day.)
Gig line is about the only thing he has correct lol
I nominate him as an early candidate in the annual jesse macbeth competition this year.
The heavyweight division.
Heard about this guy on Twitter via @NavySEALsOrg and ruled out Gugle. We’re looking for him. Does anyone know where the original photo came from? It looks like something off Facebook. Any info would help.
Would love to ID this POS.
What a frigging blivet. I swear, his face/neck above that collar looks like the pic of that fat chick’s ass spilling over her short-shorts that’s been going around.
@#77–correct. I served in 2/39th Inf, 9th ID in the early 80s.
The Bn had been awarded the Fouriegeurre (Belgian, IIRC…it’s basically identical to the French version) for it’s actions during WW2, and like other unit awards, you were authorized to wear the rope on the Class A or B uniform for ONLY the time you were assigned to the unit.
Once you PCS’d out, it came off the uniform.
I’m wondering how come he chose not to wear his Green Beret for this photo? How humble of him.
I’m sure his identity will eventually surface. Turds do tend to float, after all, especially large fatty ones like this.
#82 Ryan: “Blivet.” Perfect. http://www.history.army.mil/photos/gulf_war/017-12.JPG
He also fits the alternate definition of a blivet IMO – 10 lbs of crap shoved into a 5 pound bag.
An old friend from the Corps forwarded this to me today. For the record, I don’t think the guy above is Larry Gugle, for reasons already covered in earlier comments. For one thing, except for the moustache, he doesn’t even look much like Gugle. Gugle is older and his moustache was graying even when those old photos at some of the links above were taken. Gugle’s ears are different, his face is longer than this guy’s, and his mouth is wider. Plus, when Gugle was faking it he did a much more credible job than this moron. A fucking Trident? Seriously?
I am not here to defend Gugle. But if people mistakenly assume that the mystery of this guy’s identity is solved, it’s less likely we’ll ever find out who he really is. And I’d like to see that happen.
Semper Fi
He looks good for fighting in WWII. What a oxygen theif… Wonder what Gen. G Washington would recomend as punishment for this waste of space…
As a Marine, what embarrasses me the most is that you can even GET Blues that size… Maybe he skinned a couple of Lcpl’s and had their’s sewn together….
Dante1811, only a couple of L/Cpls? More like a squad of L/Cpls!? Hell, I’m old Corps, you could use that blouse to stop an F-4 Phantom on full after burners in about 6 foots!?
PLEASE find out who this asshat is! I’m off until Feb 2013 so I’d love to go look it up and kick it’s nuts up around it’s ears. Provided it has nuts which I highly doubt.
I don’t know what everyone is talking about here, this hard charger looks like he has his shit squared away. Its no accident that we don’t know his name, the gov probably has it locked down for nat. security reasons. This hero is most likely the apex of every successful military mission since WW2 and he has the hardware to prove it so just back off guys. Fuckin’ guy has a trident!! This picture probably keeps our enemies awake at night and lets Americans sleep soundly.
This guy’s a jackass.
ROFL @ #89 Dante… it puts the Lotion on…
Beaver, did you mean “jackass” – or “lardass”?
#88 – George Washington asked the Continental Congress to increase the maximum allowable flogging from a 39 lashes (based on Deut. 25:3, I think) to 100 and then 500 — says this: http://lewis-clark.org/content/content-article.asp?ArticleID=2641 — for this guy he might ask them to impose a rate of lashes “per square foot.”
(Or, with his surveying background, maybe per acre…?)
This is this first fucker I’ve seen with the balls to pull out an EOD badge.
@97 FNG, that just proves what a retard he is? He wants to be someone who walks up to a live bomb and mess with it??? That’s like the knuckleheads who jump out of perfectly good airplanes!!! Norther is in their right mind!?
I don’t think this jerk is Gurgle but I did find some interesting info on Gurgle. He is one website for HAM radio call sign K4RFE. It has the same picture of c him graduating from DI school but without all the ribbons. And also his boot camp platoon picture. Plt 2124 MCRD San Diego 1969.
As for the fat asshole in the above picture. He will not be happy when real Marines get him.
C’mon, Yat Yas. Knowing how to jump has its uses. It’s really not something you want to do “for record” without training.
And EOD folks, along with MEDEVAC crews, are probably the two groups I’d rate has having generally bigger balls than Rangers/SF/SEALS/Force RECON/etc . . . . Takes a really special kind of individual to do either of those jobs. Dunno if I could have done either.
