Frank Joseph Visconi, according to Scotty, had a perfectly honorable career in the Vietnam War as a supply clerk and he was honorably discharged as a sergeant with the following DD214;
With the following rack;
But, that wasn’t good enough when he became the Sr. Vice Commandant of Marine Corps League Chapter #603 – James McCutchen Detachment in Clarksville, TN. The he joined the “Together We Served” website and decided that his rack needed some punching up;
Somewhere along the way, he got himself some certificates for a Bronze Star Medal for Valor and a Purple Heart that he also posted. When people started questioning him, he simply took down his profile and dashed. At Scotty’s he has two DD215s which correct his social security number and some unit commendations. Neither of the DD215s mention two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star or a Combat Action Ribbon.
The story about the rank difference is a good one, too, better when told by Scotty, so shoot over and visit him.

Visconi, you are a liar, a looter and a pillager.
Here, Frances, is where you say you were ‘not a member of any unit’:

Like I said, if I had a dick, you’d be sucking it right now, asswipe.
Have fun lying your way out of this one.
I’m waiting for an answer to my inquiry about who was and was not injured in firefights at Chu Lai in August 1965. When I get that answer, I’ll post it here for everyone to see.
Francis, Francis, Francis, you can come her all you want, John will ALLOW you the pleasure to spew your verbal diarrhea. You can threaten, cajole, hold your breath till YOU pas out, and so forth, so forth. You just like every body else that has come here to try and lie out of their lies, yours in the long run will BACKFIRE.
I just like to jerk your chains and watch the two year old tantrums that all of you throw. What you say and do here does nothing to affect our own lives personally. If you believe that you have a case for libel or slander, then by all means take your silly ass arguments to a court of law, but you have done that repeatedly and each and every time, you have had your ass handed to you.
So keep coming here stomping your feet and holding your breath till you turn blue. No effect on me.
Anyone else notice how frank the crank is ignoring my pointing out that he can’t get his own statements straight, right here in good ol’ TAH?
No, not shot five times. I don’t claim to be hard, especially that hard. Well, at one time when I was a little more naive I would have believed that the records department would not make so many mistakes but if you look at it they are all during one period. From January 65 through March 66. Could very well happen and now I can believe it because I have dug into their processes so deep I know things they probably don’t even know. One last thing. About a year ago I met with the head of the Clarksville MOPH and showed him my PH citation and told him my story. He didn’t hesitate to doubt me for one minute and offered to help in any way he could. He said if it didn’t have to be on my DD-214 he would make me a member right then. Right is only right and I would not have accepted anyway because I will not do anything until my records show the proper authority. I have been told, once my citations were confirmed as authentic, that I should start wearing my ribbons (I only dress for funerals as I am part of the Honor Guard for my MCL Detachment). Again, I will not wear or display my any ribbons that are not on my DD-214 with the EXCEPTION of the CAR. That WILL NOT be taken from me. I EARNED IT, I know I earned it and I also know that many, many who have not actually had it put on their records are wearing it. That doesn’t make it right but I also know that several members of my former unit wear it including my former XO. Because he or my CO or whoever was supposed to failed to put members of our unit in for the CAR which by the way was not authorized until after I got out (1969 I believe), I should not have to pay for it. Also, my former CO from Nam is deceased, the XO was alive up until a few months ago but he… Read more »
Actually, Visconi – some of the regular readers here did serve in Vietnam. We also have Grenada, Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq vets among the regulars – as well as at least one Korean War vet. I think we have at least a few readers who served in Somalia and Panama as well.
FYI: playing the “lots of people are doing it” and “poor poor pitiful me” cards won’t get you much sympathy here, either. You want sympathy, look in the dictionary between “manure” and “venereal disease”. If that’s too broad of a search range for you to handle, I can suggest a shorter one.
‘Ya mean like where “sympathy” is found somewhere between “SHIT” and “SYPHILIS” in the dictionary?
Proud Infidel: well, that’s one way to put it. But as the singer once said, “. . . I believe in some restraint.” (smile)
Frank sounds like more of the same bullshit to me, however, if you are going to try a Senator, one more time, don’t try yours!
As has been asked of you a dozen times now, why not try your “good guy” Alabama Senator who knows you already from his work for your friend’s MOH claim, which was at YOUR request to the good Senator? Don’t beat around the bush…go directly to someone you know has helped you before! It’s called common fucking sense Frank!
Also Frank. I don’t give a shit how much YOU think you earned the CAR. I don’t give a shit who did or not get it and who did or not deserve it or who in the hell was or is now wearing it. IF IT AIN’T IN YOUR RECORDS YOU CANNOT WEAR IT! Period. Hell, I may think I earned and deserved an ARCOM for eating their fucking C-Rats! But IT AIN’T ON MY RECORDS SO I DON’T WEAR ONE AND DON’T OWN ONE!!! By the way, you mention you are a member of an Honor Guard? Please let it be known which one. Because if I knew a Marine who died and YOU showed up as part of the Honor Guard, there would be an public call out on the way!
Mr. Visconi is the Senior Vice Commandant of Marine Corps League Detachment #603 in Clarksville, TN. He serves on their Funeral Detachment or Honor Guard and wears his Dress Blues as a Staff Sergeant.
The Commandant is Dale A. Hatfield,Sr. and his email address is: ChiefBugMan@yahoo.com and his phone number is : 931 624-7477
Sam Killeffer: you wouldn’t happen to have contact info for the MCL at TN State and National HQ, would you? We’ve often found that local organizations are sometimes reluctant to take action against posers in their ranks – particularly those with a close association with local leadership.
Hondo,
I’ve already sent an email to the officers of his MCL as well as the State Officers.
I will attempt to forward that letter to you. Let me know if you have any problems with it or don’t receive it.
He also sent a memo to the State level and they support me. They have all seen my documents. Go ahead and contact Hatfield. Contact whoever you want. They all support me. Yes,I wear my Blue with Staff Sgt. stripes on the Blouse. That’s because that is my rank. You are so good a obtaining records, go find it.Killeffer also has a copy of my promotions page out of my SRB but his eyes appear to glass up with tears when he sees that I was promoted to SSgt on May 1, 1969.
No Frank, it doesn’t work that way. We’ve seen your real records. How about you post the ones, “right there in front of you” as you wrote.
Francis the Fibber,
The MCL has seen your fake records. You do not rate SSgt stripes or a SNCO uniform. Seriously, when you put it on, don’t you have just a twinge of conscience, knowing you are a fraud. I was just wondering, because I wore the uniform of a SNCO for 16 years and never had that feeling because I earned my rank. And all of my awards. You putz.
Frank, thank you for answering my previous question.
Please verify:
On 11 FEBRUARY 1966, you were TRANSFERRED from Chu Lai and reported for duty on 28 MARCH 1966 to Little Creek, Norfolk, VA.
You said you had to wait to get on an aircraft at Danang because of the wounded and your last name starting with “V”.
That sounds reasonable. You were travelling via GOVAIR, departing a Combat Zone.
Your TR date was 11 FEBRUARY 1966. You boarded a GOVAIR on 13 FEBRUARY 1966 at Danang (waiting two days) and arrived the same day at Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa.
You stayed 7 days in Okinawa, probably for a well deserved R&R or Outprocessing at Camp Butler before you departed on 20 FEBRUARY 1966 via GOVAIR from Kadena to MCAS, El Tora, California, arriving the same day.
You may have taken leave after being in California (maybe for more Outprocessing) before you reported to Little Creek, Norfolk, VA on 28 MARCH 1966.
As far as his Defamation/False Light Invasion of Privacy litigation goes he is 0-4. His case was dismissed against POWNetwork, Chuck and Mary Schantag, and Sam Killeffer in Stewart County, Tn. He filed two complaints in Nodaway County MO and the first was dismissed and he appealed it and the appeals court affirmed the lower courts decision. He then filed another suit but failed to appear at the hearing and it was dismissed with Prejudice.
The last and final case was Visconi v Killeffer in Hamilton County TN. He withdrew when he realized that through “Discovery Motions” the defendant was going to expose his lies and they would therefor be publicly documented.
Sam Killeffer thank you sir for keeping us posted and updated. Frank’s writings are circular and can be difficult to navigate. Frank Visconi should NOT be doing Honor Guard service at funerals in a uniform with rank he did not earn and/or awards he did not earn. (I do not know what medals he wears on this uniform however) But I will try to contact Dale A. Hatfield,Sr. and see where it goes.
I wonder how all the victims will feel, or the attorneys where his evidence might have been used in court cases because he is “a retired vehicle theft investigator” and “former sheriff’s deputy” and “a former police officer” even “Eagle Scout.”
If he would manufacture a citation and promotion – what would he do to win a court case?
Can you say “Toyota truck’s sudden, and unintended acceleration” lawsuit?
Now the Toyota truck. I wondered when you turds would finally get around to that. NOTHING is sacred with you. My Tacoma failed on me five times and on the fifth time it rolled over several times on I-24, went 42 feet in the air (in the police report) landed on the roof on the highway and rolled three more times before it stopped. My wife was supposed to be with me that day but I told her to stay home. If she had been, she would be dead or maimed for life. I came home an called a lawyer because for the preceding five months Toyota would do noting. The lawyer refused to take on Toyota so I called the local TV station and they were happy to put me on TV. That started the investigation which turned into a class action suit. Many Toyota owners and drivers were killed before Toyota was finally brought to justice. You have a whole lot of f**king nerve. How low can one go. Stick to the issue you miscreant. All of you need to take a good hard look at yourselves. You will say and do anything to make yourselves appear right in what you are doing. Between you and Miss whatever her name is, you are about as low as one can go. I took on Toyota because they are f**king liars and thieves and sneaky bastards, something like all of you. What I did started the ball rolling and in the end, probably saved who knows how many lives. I take NO CREDIT. The lawyers took it from me and ran with it. My 20 page document outlining the history of my mishaps was a key piece of evidence. I hope you don’t own one and have the possibility of going through what I did. I was lucky to walk away. If you know all about the Toyota issue then you must have seen the pictures of my truck after it finished rolling over. Do you think that’s funny you miserable F**k?? Now I KNOW I wear my Blues with… Read more »
Visconti……..thanks for your service.
I’m sure, back in the day, you appreciated your cushy supply job. Prob. Felt pretty lucky at the time. Then you come back to the “World” and got on with life.
Being a Vietnam vet back in the 70’s and 80’s was not a real popular topic.
My question is, when did you start rockin the lie? Prob. About the time of our taking back Kuwait. That’s about the time it became cool to be a Vietnam vet.
Last, I like 2/17 Air Cav have no medal “Hardware” on my vehicle. I’m going to bet, whatever vehicle you drive, is lit up like a Xmas tree. Prob. All kinds of medals,rank and other Vietnam “Bling” that just screams, look at me I’m a war hero.
3/17 Air Cav: I think Visconi said he’d been “fighting for 8 years” (or words to that effect) to get those alleged decorations into his records. That means he started doing so post-9/11 vice post Desert Storm.
I drive a 2000 Silverado. There is NOTHING on it. No stickers of any kind. In TN we only have a back plate. My front plate has a Chocolate Lab on it. I don’t have to go around telling everyone I’m a Marine. They can tell just by my demeanor. That’s more than I can say about you.
Began my fight with BCNR in 2006 when I was getting ready to retire and I decided I was going to put together a shadow box (like probably most of you have). That’s when I wrote my first letter to BCNR and when I got back a DD-215 with the SSN corrected from the mistake they made in 1968. All I did then was write back and tell them that there were other unit awards that were given out after I was released and I told them about my promotion and awards given to me in 69. They wrote back and told me they had no record of personal awards but did add two unit citations. They told me that the RANK is not changed on the DD-214. What is on your Discharge is your rank. Mine just happens to say Staff Sergeant. You’re so good a finding shit, go find it.
When I came back from Nam I couldn’t wear my uniform on leave or at any time. If I did, I had cans and rocks and anything you can think of thrown at me like all the other returning vets. Besides, I didn’t feel it was necessary to parade around in my uniform. When I was home, I was a civilian. Didn’t need to impress anyone. I was called a lot worse names back then than you can ever come up with. Where is this fantasy land you live in?
I thought you said you were leaving, Frankie-boi.
Oh, and Frankie-boi: on this copy of your DD214, it looks like your ranks says “Sergeant”. I don’t see “Staff Sergeant” there anywhere.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?attachment_id=41617
Frank,
Please verify:
You stated the ENTIRE 3rd Marine Division was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.
Please read these two links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Presidential_Unit_Citation_3rd_MarDiv_1965-1967.pdf&page=1
http://www.amtrac.org/pdf_files/1atbn/PUC01B.pdf
Please verify that you were with H&S CO, 3rd Service Battalion, 3rd MarDiv which was redesignated to SU #1, Support CO, 3rd Service Battalion, 3rd MarDiv during your time in Okinawa and Vietnam.
You supposedly have all my documents, verify it yourself. I have it right here in front of me.
Frank, you really need to go read the “what to do if busted” page. Your arguments have all been seen here a hundred times.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=39711
Frank you did learn one thing in the Marines. “Duck and cover”! Look at your documents, in front of you, and simply answer the questions asked. Not hard.
Francis, your face is starting to turn Blue!!!!!!!
Frank,
You stated you are/were eligible to wear the Combat Action Ribbon because of your service in Vietnam.
Please verify that you met/meet the eligibility criteria as defined by the SECNAVNOTE 1650 of 17 February 1969:
http://www.mrfa.org/CAR.criteria.htm
Frank,
You implied you did not embark on board the AKA 160 USS Union from White Beach, Okinawa on 20 MAY 1965 that arrived at Chu Lai on 24 MAY 1965:
“I was deployed to Nam with the III MAF in March 1965 and I have a Major that confirms that. We awaited on board ship off the coast until our unit arrived in May and we all landed together.”
Please verify that you and the USMC Major (who was Enlisted at that time) were with any of these units in the MARCH 1965 deployment and that you both stayed on a ship (what was the name of the ship) for 2 months until MAY 1965:
1965 07Mar65 to 12Mar65
DEPLOYMENT to VIETNAM Province: Quang Nam Units: 1st BN./ 3RD MARINES was ordered DEPLOYED by 9TH M.E.B. from OKINAWA to DA NANG, RVN. The first six C-130’s carried members of Charlie Co., arriving in the morning hours of 08Mar65. C/1/3 was assigned defensive and perimeter guard at the Airbase of Da Nang. Deployment by 1/3 was completed on 12Mar65, with ARVN Compound-Da Nang and L/3/9 in the area(per CD Rom). (Per HAMMOND- Vietnam Conflict Map, indicates 8Mar65, First U.S. Combat Troops land in Vietnam as two Marine Battalions come ashore near Da Nang. Apparently those two Battalions were 1/3 and 3/9). 17Mar65 ***** 1/3 unk Company- Accidental Detonation of land mine/Friendly 1-Wia *****
AskAMarine Thank you for your direct questions to Frank sir. His lack of response is glaringly obvious. But thanks for holding his feet to the fire. As a Marine you are far more knowledgeable in Marine matters than I.
My gosh, the stupid is strong with this one!
Just when I think I’ve seen it all. Boom, something even more ludicrous comes along.
You know what? EVERY legitimate combat veteran I know, from my pateral uncle who had several armored vehicles blown out from under him in World War II, to his son, my cousin, a Marine combat infantryman in Vietnam, to everyone I served with in OIF & OEF, is self-effacing and mighty humble about their service in combat. Ths Frank Visconi moron is an embarssment.
Franky,
With all the talking youve done, the travels you documented why can’t you come up with a unit more specific then III MAF?
That is the MAJOR reason I’m not buying into your story. Regardless of how fucked up admin is, There were dozens of Marines in the Unit you were attached to that could verify at a minimum they were augmented by non -03 types.
As for screwed up records it does happen. I have a cousin whose 201 file and DD214 were royally screwed up. He served in Iraq, was medivaced out for respritory problems and had nothing in his record book except Boot Camp AIT and being discharged almost 2 years later in Texas. He had to go to his former company commander to get all the copies of his orders to Iraq, etc.
Why are you afraid to tell us the exact unit you were with? Are you afraid one of your old buddies will call you out?
You have the info apparently. You should know the unit I was with. I can’t locate any of them. I’m apparently not as astute on the computer as you are. HQ SU#2, Serv Bn, 3rd Mar Div (Rein) FMF later changed to SU#1, Sup Co., 3rd Serv Bn 3rd Mar Div (Rein) FMF.
And yet you managed to get an online law degree.
Curious, that.
Frank, I’m going to confess something to you. When I was 18, my draft number was 13 and it really looked like I was headed for Vietnam. I had friends from high school who had gone, several wounded, at least one dead. I was scared. I joined the Navy so I wouldn’t have to go.
Later in life, I worked with quite a number of Vietnam vets, I always admired them for having more guts than me.
You would fall into that category, if you’d JUST STOP THE LIES.
Let me repeat something I said earlier-
ALL of your DOCUMENTS have been examined by the National Records Center. They are the EXPERTS at those documents. They have said your “proof” is FALSE.
Please give up the lie, there are so many phony Vietnam vets out there, you don’t need to embellish your record, you are already special.
Your birth date wouldn’t be July 8th would it?
If forging a military document is a violation of US Code Title 18, and he used forgeries as evidence in multiple lawsuits including suing the Navy, and possibly using mail fraud to provide said false evidence across state lines, why is he still walking the streets? The Marine Corps League allows him to maintain his membership and run for office. Wonder if he’s a church Deacon too.
His lawsuit was dismissed before it was even heard. The only way you can bring suit against BCNR ( among other agencies) is to go after monetary damages. Franky was supposedly just trying to “set the record straight” He refiled for $50,000 Libel/Slander damage and added POWnetwork and those that outed him to the suit. The judge ruled that he couldn’t lump them together and any Suit against the others would have to be settled by a lower court. So he was back to square one. The suit was dismissed. The forged documents never made it into a court room.
The documents as well as some other statement was submitted to the BCNR. They declared the documents to be inconsistent with real ones, and rhe statement not to be revalent and refused to ammend his records.
Since it was an administrative, not a legal action, the BCNR just told him to go pound sand. I’m sure if they pushed it they could ask a DA to file charges, but its not something the BCNR would do themselves.
Correction: His phony documents were submitted in the 2nd case in Federal Claims court and the 3rd case in Federal Disctrict Court as evidence.
The first complaint in Federal Claims Court was filed “under seal” but you can bet your ass he submitted the phony docs in that case as well.
Depends on what the suit is for and what federal court it is in. My first suit was dismissed because I was in the wrong court and that was the one that there has to be monetary damages. I finally got it into the right court. That’s what you guys do. You only dig on the surface and then make your accusations. You actually know nothing.
No, I’m a church Elder and I’ve already shown my documents to the FBI. They told me to go away, they have no interest. My docs were not examined by anyone except for a trio of idiots at the BCNR. I offered to have them analyze them and they refused.
A Christian you ARE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christian, Frank? Well if you say so. Good Christian? Um, the available evidence supports the “no” answer on that. Ever hear the phrase, “Thou shalt not lie?”
Are you a hypocrite? IMO, yeah. “In spades”, to use a card metaphor.
If you are a church Elder (I’m assuming Mormon) you might want to take another look at Article of Faith #13. Here is the first part of it.
“13.We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men”
Frank I have repeatedly now read your postings of how this or that person or organization looked at your documents and in your words, “told me to go away”. Because you say, “they were not interested”. Has it ever occurred to you Frank that they told you to go away, not because they were not interested but because in the face of seeing your documents, they too said “bogus and bullshit”. Ever consider that Frank.
Wait just a damn minute. Didn’t you say earlier or maybe in one of your court cases, that you had the documents examined by a professional. So which is it, Frank? See, the problem with lying is being able to keep all the stories straight.
What are you getting at. Yes, my documents were sent out to a licensed professional handwriting and document analyst and returned with a certified letter stating they were authentic along with the signatures. I don’t understand where you are going with this. Why don’t you try making sense of a hundred questions coming at you from all directions at one time.
What kind of examiner would authenticate documents circa 1969 printed with a font invented in 1994? Was the analyst/examiner a CPPP by chance?
I’ll keep harping on this until the sun explodes if I have to.
Here’s where I point out that Frank the crank is unable to get his did/did not have a unit assocation story straight.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=41610&cpage=3#comment-1219256
That’s once.
Then we have this: Did Frank the crank ever hit the beach parties at No Dang Twat? Did he ever use a Rubber Lady for surfing over there?
Simple questions.
Those were things the Marines were doing over there for amusement, including swimming in the reef waters off the beaches at Chu Lai. You’d think such simple questions would get simple answers, but my guess is that they’re too simple and don’t require any kind of phony cocked-up paperwork or long-winded wallpaper explanations.
So that’s twice.
Hey, Frankie, if you got any more phony paperwork you want fill out, d’you want to borrow my IBM Selectric? It has the right typeball in it, you know.
Oh, yeah. Re: his mommy and his religious stuff: that is SO psulie-o the uncoolie-o, in spades!
That’s three times.
What an idiot! Not even an original thinker.
Like your friend Killeffer and all of your other This Ain’t Hell friends, a MASTER at twisting words to make them fit your own liking. Never saw a rubber lady and the only time I was at the beach was sitting in a fox hole manning an M-60 on an inlet of the China Sea. When the sun came up there were about 100 san pans gathered in the inlet, each one with two individuals in black pajamas and pointed straw hats. The only FUN I had was wondering if I should open fire or not. Later found out that they were “Vietnamese Fishermen” and if I would have opened fire, I would have been court martialed.
I know what an IBM selectric is and as far as I know they are only used to type and you cannot type the lettering that is on military documents.
And as far as my mother is concerned you are about as LOW of a prick that ever existed. My mother was sick most of her life and is now DEAD and has been for 43 years. I was her last child and she snuck things from places where I stored them. If she hadn’t done that, I would have had NO documents including my Discharge. So back off my mother you sick F**K and stick to doing whatever it is you want to me. I don’t want you to feel sorry for me over my mother or my father who died probably before you were even born (58 years ago just before I turned 10). You have no f**king idea what my life was like before during or after Nam. Apparently this is how you get you jollies off. Hey, do all you guys on this site have an annual reunion? You should. Then they can commit you all at once.
Ah,, you came back to stomp your feet, hold your breath till you turn blue Francis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Frankie,
Guess what…You Mommy really didn’t love you that much.
She only felt sorry for you.
She loved her other children much more.
The only reason she “snuck” (It’s actually “sneaked” you wop douche) things from places you had hidden them was that she was actually ashamed of you and your behavior.
You know it. You just need to admit it to yourself.
/That ought to do it à la Psulio
I won’t even dignify your assanine remark with a response. I thought the TWS group was bad but you guys are as low as one can go.
Fella, let me clue you in, since you apparently are sans clue at present. That was fairly mild compared to some I’ve seen here.
As I said earlier, Frank – if you’re looking for “sympathy” regarding your “hard life”, you’ll have to look elsewhere. I’d suggest the dictionary, between “manure” and “venereal disease”. I can be more specific if necessary.
We don’t care about your life before you joined the USMC, dipstick – or the vast majority of your life afterwards, either. What we care about is your self-promoting (and thankfully unsuccessful) use of self-produced documentation to attempt to get military honors that (1) are not in your records today, and (2) that it is almost certain you do not legitimately rate.
That, dipstick, we do care about – bigtime.
I don’t want or need your sympathy. I served, I did what I had to do and I’ve been pretty damn successful in my life. I’ve run across plenty of morons in my line of work following the Corps, but you guys (and gals) take the cake for idiots. I put guys like you behind bars on a daily basis. Not only because of what they did, but your type have a penchant for letting your mouth overload you ass.
Frankie Tough Guy…
“I put guys like you behind bars on a daily basis…”
Oh so you’re now a cop? Oh please, do tell us. Internet tough guy….(*PUSSY*)
Says the guy who freely admitted that the “documents” he provided to “prove” he had a BSM and a PH were “self produced” – and thus not authentic.
Did you “self-produce” other things during your career of putting people “behind bars”, Frankie-boi?
My goodness, the language Francis. Is someone getting your goat??
And from a “self-produced” Christian, too. Tisk, tisk.
Never saw a Rubber Lady, huh? I’ve seen plenty of pictures of squadron Marines with them from the time you were over there at Chu Lai. Beach time? I’ve seen plenty of fragile 8mm and 16mm film of Marines swimming in the reef waters off Chu Lai, at exactly the time you were over there in that sand pit. Try again with that crap, you self-abscorbed codpiece clamp. The artillery emplacements were on the hills ABOVE Chu Lai. They wer manned by the Army. And that was later, sport. You were manning an M-60 all by your lonesome? Why, how very, very clever of you! How did you do that when you were running around in the bush 15 miles down south of Chu Lai at the Quang Ngai border? The ‘boats’ off shore were some merchant marine vessels and the US Navy ships involved in amphibious landings. The correct spelling for a Vietnamese fishing/general use boat is SAMPAN. Some of them were motorized, some were not. Some had bamboo hoods, some did not. I’m just curious AS TO how a supply clerk who claims he was involuntarily ‘volunteered’ to go shoot at VC was also ‘manning an M60’ in a foxhole on the beach at the same time. I would normally suggest that you take up writing novels about your self-professed adventures in Southeast Asia (leaving out the parts about being a supply clerk, of course), but your mastery of the English langugae, grammar, and punctuation are sadly lacking. Wallpaper text and stream of consciouness drivel don’t work well these days. And if you actually READ what I wrote, WHICH YOU OBVIOUSLY DID NOT DO, you will see that I did NOT malign your mother, but rather said you were embracing the behavior of one Paul K. Wickre, a well-known drivel-text wanker clanker. Go ahead. Keep on claiming things you never did, you rotting canker-blossom. You never were and NEVER WILL BE ANYTHING but what you are: a lying, looting, pillaging, camp-follower with no history except what you think you can fake, and you just can’t believe that no… Read more »
BOOYAH!!!!
/so there…..dipshit….
Very nice Ex-PH2.
You paint quite the picture of our hero. And I am sure it is about 110% accurate, based on what he has shared with us thus far.
Fibbing Francis, I think it is about time for you to come clean old man. You done pissed off the voice of reason here and she aint likely to forgive you your transgressions!!!
Master Guns, I am honored.
Voices of reason!! Just listen to yourselves. You all sound like a bunch of kindergartners. Why don’t all of you get a life. I looks like you sit at your computer all day and just wait to let everyone know how well versed on Vietnam. You couldn’t have been everywhere at all times. Every unit didn’t operated the same way, especially back then. Grow up.
Now that you’ve finished with your temper-tantrum, Frankie-boi – do you have anything meaningful to say to the adults here?
Were you jack hammering the computer keys as you typed that Francis?? You seem very upset. That is not good for a poser of your advanced age.
How long were you in VN?
Like YOU are an expert on VN?
You are no expert on VN!
In fact your actions and own words here prove that you are no expert on VN!
I have more time in the chow line waiting for “sh!t on a shingle” then you had in VN.
Give it up and walk away …
You have already lost this fight!
Your honor is definately misplaced, that’s for sure. No Master Guns I’ve EVER met has stooped as low as this one.
Francis, Francis, you look all cute standing there stomping your feet and holding your breath!!!!!
No Franklin, my honor is intact. Unlike yours, which is gone. You just don’t get it. You cannot defend what you do not have. You had an honorable enlistment, you got out as an NCO. You served in war time and actually in the combat zone. And that was not enough. You have claimed things that you do not rate and you have dishonored yourself. You have shit on the memory of those who have actually given their last full measure of devotion. And then you come on this site and have the nerve to question the honor of people who have walked the walk, many of them for most of their adult lives. You are a real piece of crap. Deal with it poser.
You were too far junior to spend any quality time with a Master Guns … don’t attempt to make it sound like you had unfeterred access to the Senior NCO Tent, Club, Quarters and Mess … because you did not!
Anymore friggin’ questions?
Ex-PH2: Must have a toast in your honor. You are definitely the wordsmith when some lower than pondscum poser crosses your path!! A Makers Mark toast to you!!
Ex-PH2 Uhm…don’t hold back now. Say what you feel. 😀
Well, looks as if Francis had a dick measuring contest with EX-PH2, and guess who has won? Not you Francis!
Frankie can’t even manage to have a clenis.
(But his Mom sure did.)
Frank,
Please verify with the USMC Major (then Enlisted) who you said deployed with you with the III MEF in MARCH 1965:
“I was deployed to Nam with the III MAF in March 1965 and I have a Major that confirms that. We awaited on board ship off the coast until our unit arrived in May and we all landed together”
Please verify with that USMC Major:
(1) USMC Major was TAD to HQCO, 4th Marines, 3rd MARDIV from 7 MAY-22 JUNE 1965.
(2) USMC Major may have been deployed from Camp Schwab, Okinawa on the USS Henrico between 1-6 MAY 1965 and arrived at Chu Lai on 7 MAY 1965.
(3) Upon completion of his TAD on 22 JUNE 1965, USMC Major was assigned back to his unit, SubUnit #2, H&SCO, 3rd Service Battalion on 23 JUNE 1965, which later was redesignated to SU #1, Support Company, 3rd Service Battalion, 3rd MarDiv.
WRONG MAJOR pal! I was with this guy the entire time until he left Chu Lai in August just before Starlite on emergency leave. We had no First Shirt so he was the acting. He returned for a second tour as part of an air wing. Get your facts straight. As usual, you guys who THINK you know everything just simply scratch the surface and then start blowing your horn for everyone to hear.
Frank what is the NCO/Major’s NAME! Easy enough isn’t it?
Sparks: Frankie-boi here does seem to have a very selective memory, doesn’t he?
You know, it almost seems like he doesn’t want us to know the name of anyone he actually served with in Vietnam. But Frankie here is a “self-produced” Christian, so that can’t possibly the case – could it?
Frank,
Can you please answer Sparks question?
If I have the wrong Marine,I have no problem apologizing to you for an error.
The answer is Major Polderdyke, found here:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=jsBGU-39Iqjf2QWuyoDQBQ&url=http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions/BRADEN.VISCONI112812A.pdf&cd=4&ved=0CC0QFjAD&usg=AFQjCNFwd_xI8Zv8vsKNDR4GoCd3xsoX2g
There ya go, Ya see, just a little bit of research and you found the name. Unlike you, I try not to get my friends involved in this crap. He has already responded to this shit when it started. You need to back of and leave him alone. He has already said what he had to say.
Im missing something here… even in the old mysterious Marine Corps of Yore in the far off land of Vietnam, why would a MAJOR, who is a Staff level ( Field Grade) commissioned officer fill the billet of a 1st Sgt. which is a job for a company grade SNCO?
Still waiting on the company and Battalion level unit you were assigned to..
Just An Old Dog: I think the guy was an NCO when he filled that billet, then later got commissioned and topped out as a Major.
I think. With Franki-boi and his elliptical, stream-of-alternative-consciousness rantings, it’s sometimes hard to tell what he’s trying to say – much less figure out which parts are “live” and which are “Memorex”.
Hondo is correct.
The Marine was an NCO during that timeframe, became a Commissioned Officer later and retired as a Major.
Sorry for the confusion.
YA SEE, you react and don’t even read. He was a Corporal then when he was my NCOIC. Our unit did not have a 1st Sergeant so he filled the billet and was later awarded the Navy Achievement or Commendation for it (can’t remember which one). He received his commission some time later after his first tour. You say I can’t get my facts straight. There is so much bullshit floating around in this blog you all keep contradicting each other as well as yourselves.
Holly Crap, have you not sucked enough oxygen out of the room by now?
Francis, how can we miss you if you won’t go away?
Go away, we would rather read about CDR Alvarez than have you stain our pages.
You are not going to change any minds here, most of all yours. The War is over, you lost Go AWAY.
Frank? I’ve been reading your comments and there are so many inconsistencies in them. On your April 8/9:14AM comment you suggest the documents were real and certified as such by an analyst. At 1:48PM you then state the documents were “self-produced”, which proves you not only typed the documents out yourself but you also forged the signatures of 2 people, one being former CMC General Chapman. We all know your PH and BSM are fabrications. At 1:19PM you suggest promotion warrants cannot be reproduced. Actually, they are reproduced and are typed locally once the promotion message is published. It’s been like that for a long time, even during Vietnam and thereafter. You expect us to believe that General Chapman sat at his desk and signed over 1,000 SNCO promotion warrants to be delivered on or about May 2d, a day after your date of promotion (1 May)? That’s utter horse-shit. You also suggest you were attached to HQBn, 3d MarDiv, yet you fail to provide specifics of where you were located. Da Nang? Chu Lai? Where? You would have had to be in support of some specific unit in a geographic part of the country, but any time the question is asked, you dance around it. Lastly, at 6:03 you state you have unit records that show you arrived in Vietnam in March 1965, but the “unit” arrived in May, at which time you all landed together? Ummmm, no. The Marine Corps doesn’t operate like that. Never has… never will. If you were part of the advance party, you would have disembarked – not wait off shore for a month and a half , waiting for everyone else to show up. I suggest you look up the term “pseudologia fantastica”. I believe you are afflicted with it.
He is going to be a Dennis, so all we can do is refute his lies and hold his feet to the fire concerning his contradictions, and any way, the more he post here, the more his name becomes GOOGLE famous.
Well, his inability to recollect and relate real details about the place where he was working is strange. I can recall the exact layout of the Naval Photographic Center in Anacostia Flats. I think it’s a logistics center now, not sure. I can see it in my head: the stairs to the second floor, the black & white print lab, LT Tuthill’s office across the hallway, the coffee mess. There was actually a couch in the womens’ head where we could lie down if we needed to on our ‘ladies days’.
And then on the 3rd floor, the color lab and that idiotic mass-developing machinery. The cafeteria – good food for lunch – on the third floor, and across the airfield, the chow hall at the Admin building, where they did have really good food. Good place to go to when you had section duty. And my 18 mmonths cutting film in MOPIC Editorial for LT Ralph Lewis, even though I wanted to do still photography – I’m not a MOPIC gal, didn’t care for it then.
If I can recall all of that, and things like watching a rat the size of a small dog dragging an entire sunflower plant down a rathole in the airfield while I was standing duty on the quarterdeck, then HOW COME THIS ASSWIPE WANNABE BE CAN’T REMEMBER EVEN ONE SINGLE PERSON HE WORKED WITH AND/OR FOUGHT BESIDE OVER THERE AT CHU LAI?
All of us have sea stories, war stories, after-battery stories, buddy stories, etc., but not this guy. It’s like his entire time over there is a complete blank in his personal history.
Something just does not add up here.
Sounds like the blurb to a straight to DVD/BR action movie:
“One man, alone. Denied by his government, ridiculed by his peers. Only he know the REAL truth.
Frank Visconti IS…Frank Visconti in…’Broken Record Check!'”
DITTO, Ex-PH2, I can remember all kinds of things as well as names from places I’ve served, and I stay in touch with those who can vouch for me and I still serve with a few of them! Frank V., it’s only a matter of time until our Frankly O. officially awards you the title of MCPL!!
Damn … when will the blood letting end?
All he needs to do is MAN UP … oh so sorry … that won’t happen here he has “Tripled Down” on the lie!
A lie is easy to get our of: a “So Sorry” will do!
A double down lie is a wee bit more difficult to get out of, but it be done: “So Sorry fro my repeated lies”.
But a triple down lie almost impossible to apologize for, because he probably truly believes that he is right and everyone else is wrong!
New name for my new poser hero (cause he just keeps rocking this obvious lie despite all evidence against him):
FUBAR FRANK THE FIBBING FOBBIT!!
This should make you happier, Master Guns.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=41610&cpage=3#comment-1220130
I feel so much better now. And I noticed that wee frank the crank didn’t start calling you ‘Master Guns’ until we did, then he picked it up.
Monkey see, monkey copy, monkey phony.
Hey Frankie……

/over.the.edge.
Oh. Holy. Crap.
I can hear the SNAP from here.
I laughed so hard at that! My son was here and I explained to him about how Chip always tries to incite our “friends” by talking about their Mothers, I then told him it was passed his bed time. He walked off mumbling about “When I grow up I’m going to be a phoney, so that man will make fun of you!” I think he’s mad at me. Hah!
Chip if you do make fun of me as revenge for my son being sent to bed, I want drawings and pictures!
Let me make this simple for you, Frank:
We do not care what you think you earned – you are not authorized to claim a CAR or a Purple Heart. So stop doing it. Until you stop wearing either one, you are a poser, a valor thief, and we are more than willing to call you what you are.
Now, if you are so invested in what you think you earned to spend your time, energy and money “correcting” an error you perceive, then press on with gusto. But quit boring us with it. We simply do not care.
You already know what you must do to prove what is not documented in your official records. So just go do it, and let us know when those records are updated. Until then, we really don’t need to hear another thing about it.
QUIT WEARING WHAT YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO WEAR!
Francis claims two Purple Hearts but not one was aawrded to him. Whether he thinks he should have received a Purple Heart is neither here nor there. I just got off the phone with a special man who happens to be the recipient of SEVEN Silver Stars. He spoke not of himself but of one of his troopers in Nam who was wounded SEVEN times. He was never medevac-ed out and never sought relief. Number of Purple Hearts for that trooper? Want to guess? So, bug off Francis. I really have had my fill of you and WHAT YOU THINK YOU DESERVE.
I was put in for a Purple Heart after I recieved a minor wound by stopping a tiny part of an IED with my face. It was denied and I don’t claim to have one.
Frankie boy……this is all you are to us…..
Today’s latest toy.
(Your mom liked it doggy style)
Chip. I can’t get with that approach. I understand your anger but, if you don’t mind, consider venting your spleen at Purple Heart Wannabee X 2.
I am….I’m confused (it doesn’t take much. 😀
/he’s a chew toy?
I think he’s suggesting you leave the guy’s mother out of this, ChipNASA.
Ah 5/5….
Frank….STOP LYING!!!
/Your Mother was a Saint!
Well Air Cav, you do have a heart. Kudo’s to you. I know it changes nothing but at least you are showing some common sense. This battle is between me and all of those of you who feel it is the right thing to do to join in. My mother or any of my family are NOT approachable. And you Miss Chip, the shit all over your face is starting to show.
Here’s the deal lady’s. I’d love to stick around an read all your tripe but I have better things to do. This is the way it’s going to be. UNTIL the Appeals Court where my case is against the BCNR files it’s response to my appeal, NOTHING is going to change…NOTHING. If they find against me, I will just have to let the BCNR issue go and I ‘ll live with it. Then again, maybe I won’t. There are other avenues. But, even if they do that, that still doesn’t mean BCNR didn’t screw up. In the meantime, I don’t wear or display any of the awards you are all blowing smoke about. Also, whichever one of you it was that said that the BCNR examined my documents and declared them not authentic, well, they DIDN’T conduct an analysis on them. The said they were not authentic because they didn’t match the standard guidelines set out in SECNAVINST 1650 which is so ambiguous, even they can’t tell whether a document is legit or not; BSM citations are only signed by the CG FMFPac (wrong); Lt. Col Polidori’s signature did not match the signature in his personnel file (WRONG AGAIN – he used a ghost signer) and there is no “citation” for the PH (again WRONG). I proved everyone of their points wrong. Also you cannot doctor a document and have it pass a document analysis process. That process matches ink to ink, finds lines that shouldn’t be there,and detects any changes and even can tell if the paper is correct, plus several other points. A fake document cannot get through a true analysis process without being discovered. That is a fact. My documents have gone through the full analysis process along with a handwriting analysis of the signatures of Commandant Chapman and Lt.Col. Polidori and they all passed and I have a certified sworn affidavit to show it. I purposely had it done by someone far away from where I live because I know miscreants like you would just say that I got a friend to do it (and I… Read more »
5000 word screed and all I hear is BLAH BLAH BLAH, I am a friggin’ POSER!!!
Frank,
No kidding this is some real advice.
I read your brief and filings.
Separate common ideas and thought process into paragraphs. Doing so makes it easy to read and follow your train of thought.
Do not use sarcasm when writing. That is unless you punctuate it to set it apart for a statement of fact.
When you say things like self created documents, it reads as if you are saying you made the document. Now for instance if you said my alleged, self created documents, or My self Created documents (Not ;0)
it would then be clear that you did not mean to imply that you actually made the documents in question.
A short translation: “I’ll just stand by and do nothing when people do wrong. I don’t wanna get involved.”
Hmmmmm. I always thought Marines were big on Honor and honesty.
Well, Frankie-boi?
Frank,
Over means I have completed my transmission and am standing by for reply,
Out, means I am no longer monitoring,
Over and Out do not get used together.
Over
NOW we are getting the crux of the matter Hondo. I contend that Francis the Fibbing Fobbit is no longer worthy of the title of Marine since he claims honors he does not rate. He has dishonored himself and the uniform he once wore.
If I was Commandant for a day, I would invite all the embellishers, posers and wannabee’s to a big parade. Like the police do for sting operations. Promise them recognition and attention (which they all crave) Then once they were all assembled, I would tell them in no uncertain terms that they are not considered Marines and are a stain on the honor of the Corps. Public humiliation. Of course, I would probably have to do this in a football stadium because from posting on this site for over a year, I believe the crowd of Marine wannabee’s would be well into the thousands. It also would not stop this scourge from happening, but boy would it be satisfying.
Frank,
Please:
(1) Identify the SPECIFIC unit you were TAD with during STARLITE. You now know not every unit with 3/3 was awarded the PUC during STARLITE. You also know that just being in a Combat Zone does not justify a CAR.
(2) Explain how it was possible the USMC was able to use the ITC Edwardian Script Font in your PH and BSM w/V Citations in 1969.
(3) Identify the name of the Ship you were on for the time period MARCH-MAY 1965.
(4) Identify the USMC Door Gunner who was “mortally wounded” during STARLITE between 17-18 AUG 65.
Frank, don’t be a halfass. If you want to sound like Barney fife, go all the way, add “10-4, ROGER-WILCO” before you say “Over & Out”!
You lose, fwanky.
Out.
Hah! Great Jeff Spicoli reference Sparky!
Okay, how many have read the Farncis Manifesto? No, really. I mean every word. There has to be one of you. Come on. Fess up. I got as far as “lady’s” when he maent ladies, the plural, not lady’s, the singular possessive.
And the mule you rode in on, Francis.
It also seems that he does NOT have better things to do than sit around and read all of our “tripe”.
That’s ‘dog you rode in on’, AirCav.
2/17 Air Cav though it was time consuming for me and difficult at times, I must raise my hand.
Honestly, I couldn’t make it past the first few sentences. After that, I swear could feel my IQ points dropping as I continued!
Frank,
Here’s my biggest problem with what you are saying. I posted it earlier, but things tend to get lost in this new format. So answer me this. Your citations are filled with you volunteering constantly for this op or that helicopter. it’s the main theme of the citation. Now you said you were “volunteered,” in other words ordered, to go on them. Now I served at a later date, but the one constant is that when you’re “volunteered” that’s an order. It wouldn’t show up on a citation as you having volunteered for the act or acts that earned the award. it simply doesn’t happen. I was “volunteered” also and earned an award for it, but the citation doesn’t state that I actually volunteered. How do you explain that? How do you reconcile what the citation states with what you are now saying? Understand that your excuse, “I was volunteered” isn’t going to cut it.
Let me add to this. You also claimed the documents had been analyzed and then turned around and said the documents hadn’t been analyzed. Which is it. I know, it’s hard to keep the story straight. Maybe you should write it all down in some sort of reference file that you can look at when making your claims? It helps to keep you from stepping on your dick the way you have.
You guys are the ones confused. I never said the documents were analyzed more than once. Someone on this site said that the BCNR analyzed them. They did not. I asked them to and they refused. The gave four reasons they felt they were not authentic and I refuted all four of them. I had the document analyzed one time by a licensed document examiner. I’m not the one confused here. You guys are spewing out so much bullshit you can’t keep up with yourselves. Also, I said that I volunteered for some things and at other times I was volunteered, assuming you know what that means.
Well, duh they’re “not authentic”, Frankie-boy – YOU ADMITTED ABOVE THAT YOU FABRICATED THEM.
“Authentic” in this context means “real documents, issued by the USMC”. Anything else represented as such and not clearly caveated as being a “reconstruction” is clearly NOT authentic.
The NBCMR knows what “right looks like”. They also had access to your official records. You provided them “self-produced” crap that wasn’t even reasonably close to what a real document of that type looks like – and asked them to correct your official records based on those “self-produced” documents. Did you really expect them to do anything but reject your claim out of hand?
Actually, Frankie-boi, you might want to thank the NBCMR – because they cut you quite a break. Let me quote for you some text on DD Form 149, which you had to sign and file in order to file your claim with the BNCNR. This text appears immediately above the place on that form a person for signature:
“I MAKE THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS, AS PART OF MY CLAIM, WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE PENALTIES INVOLVED FOR WILLFULLY MAKING A FALSE STATEMENT OR CLAIM. (U.S. Code, Title 18, Sections 287 and 1001, provide that an individual shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.)”
IMO, you’re lucky the NBCMR didn’t refer your “packet” to the local US Attorney for investigation for possibly filing a false claim.
Has anyone else noticed that Frankie-boi seems to have forgotten how to spell his own name?
What’s the extra “f” at the end stand for, Frankie? “Faker”? “Fabricator”? “FUBAR”? “Falsifier”? “F**ked-up old hag”? (Pink Floyd reference; fully apropos here.) Inquiring minds want to know!
Hell, maybe it’s a second example of that proverbial thing called a “Freudian slip”. The first IMO was his acknowledgement that his “documents” for his awards were “self-prepared”.
During 2008, Frank posted on the Sgt Grit website he volunteered for duty, not that he was volun-told:
Scroll down to the header “I COULD NOT STAND”
http://www.grunt.com/corps/newsletter/3178/
From the link provided by USMCE8Ret above:
Sounds to me like someone has changed his mind since 2008.
Maybe I did not drive my point home hard enough. This is less about which honors/awards someone claims he has, than it is whether or not he has real-world backup for his claims.
frank the crank, wee frances, has repeatedly ignored questions that were simple and direct and required ONLY simple and direct answers.
‘Confirm the name of the unit you were in’ – ignored
‘Confirm the name of the enlisted-to-officer Major’ – ignored
‘What were the names of some of your buddies’ – ignored
Refusing to answer, and/or ignoring reasonable questions and requests is a common behavior in people who are either hiding something or who have no way to back up their stories. Changing the subject, getting into a pissing, foot-stomping tantrum is another method, as is bringing up (pick one) mommy, daddy, religion, and other irrelevant subjects. That was one of psul the uncool’s tactics, as we all know so well.
This clown is not going to answer or confirm anything he’s asked about because he does not have any backup for it, and he knows it. He looks more and more like a clanker wanker supreme than a real Marine.
Ex-PH2 If I may further your excellent post,
Frank, what then was the name of your Supply Commander, the Senior NCO of supply and some names of other supply Marines you served with?
Ex-PH2: as I said earlier, he does have a curiously selective memory about his time in Vietnam. It almost looks like he’s intentionally avoiding answering some questions. Why, if I didn’t know better I’d think maybe he didn’t want anyone to know the name of people he actually served with in-country.
Of course, I must be wrong. He’s a “self-prepared” Christian and just wouldn’t do something like that!
Yeah, something does not add up here.
Everyone I know remembers someone he or she served with or went on liberty with. My time off after work in the Navy was occupied with what I did miles away from Washington, DC. I have a photo album full of stuff from back then.
Screaming bloody murder at people isn’t going to stop the inquiries. And why would he refuse to provide real backup in the form of names of NCOs or buddies, or places he and they went on liberty? What about illicit poker games in the gambling tent?
Refusal doesn’t fill the blanks.
Personally, I don’t think our boy frank the crank, a/k/a wee francisco, actually did much of anything over there except fill out forms on a typewriter and move stuff around.
The truly sad part? He served honorably. He did not have to tell his grandchildren, “Well, son – I shoveled sh!t in Louisiana.” He actually served in-country, early on.
Sad. Just freaking sad.
He has ignored everything I have asked …
He said my mouth was trashy…..
fucker…..
He basically ignores anything and everything he doesn’t have answers for and calls his fantasy into question.
That’s the true nature of someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. They will provide unrelated, mildly tangential information that may or may not be credible or corroborated, attach some significance to it, then expect you to conduct the mental algebra necessary for it see like a solution to a question that’s been asked. A sort of misdirection thats seems perfectly plausible to them, but remember, they’ve convinced themselves that the lie is not a lie, but their version of the truth and that it is YOU that does not have the mental acuity to see the proof they’ve just offered you.
It’s been said here before and it’s a common Axis II (Cluster B) sign of either or both Narcissistic and Histrionic Personality Disorder. Virtually all posers who aren’t actual psychopaths will exhibit the same personality traits. Those traits are exacerbated with age and include generalized resentment that their lives were unfulfilled, lacking in achievement, recognition and self-worth. Classic narcissists will re-invent themselves by assigning themselves a new history of experiences, then spend the remainder of their lives constructing a life model or paradigm that supports that. Examples of such would include diploma mill degrees, bogus credentials, creating a new circle of supporting friends and supporters, and the use of threats or intimidation against anyone who doesn’t accept their claims as factual.
You see it repeated here every day; just go to the “Top Posts and Pages” on the right side of the Home Page for the best examples.

Wonder if he went to Hollywood? (smile)
He was thinking about it, then I told him to relax,,, don’t do it…
Visconti is going to ride this one to the ground. His defense is that you can’t prove something did’nt happen if it doesnt exist. There are no records of his actions because no records were kept. That is until May of 1969 When his awards all magically appeared, based on records that weren’t kept, of course. Let me go out on a limb here and take a stab on what really happened. Frank J. Vosconi served in the Marine Corps, He went to Vietnam as a supply admin clerk as part of III MAF from 1965-1966. He was in a rear area, manning a supply hut or tent with occasional guard duty. He may have been in the area of Mortar or rocket atacks. He did his job, bitched from time to time, had a couple of “rectum checks” when some shots were fired nearby or explosions were heard. He did his job, kept his nose clean and rotated home. He put it behind him and moved forward, and had a pretty successful life. Fast forward to around 2005 or so. The GWOT is going on, and its considered good to be in the military. Frank is pretty much retired by then, hes piddling around, taking courses, getting a degree or two. He gets involved with Veterans Organizations and joins TWS. When he reflects on his real service he figures, well being a supply clerk Sgt in Nam’ doest sound sexy enough, so he throws in a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. Now its been 40 years since he served, so when he gets called out on his awards he fabricatres documents based on a bit of research, but its not good enough to fool the experts (BCNR being one of those). He is caught red handed but his instinct is to pile on lie after lie and skip around he truth. He comes up with dates of operations large units and mix matches them with his own actual service. Threads of lies weaved within the fabric of historical truth. He problem is with supporting details… Its always “some… Read more »
Well said, Just An Old Dog.
Not everyone has the opportunity to be a hero; that’s as much luck as anything else (generally a case of “wrong place, wrong time, do something crazy or die”). But he also didn’t spend his time in uniform “shoveling sh!t in Lousiana”.
His nation sent him to war, and he served honorably. What in the hell is wrong with that?
Another good point. Professional warriors spend their training and education time attempting to learn how to exact the mission without losses (or at least minimizing them) with absolutley no emphasis on being a hero. In fact we are trained more to be participants and witnesses to war.
A hero rises out of dust, there is no script, it is not predicted … it just happens.
So for Frankie boy to believe that he can create his own reality of BSM/V, PH and CAR … I can say this … NO … this will not stand!
Stuff that in MOGAS fired tent heater and smoke it … Frank!
I’ll take one of what Just An Old Dog is having. I would say that his summary account, however speculative, drop-dead nailed it.
Well put …
I was an Air Traffic Controller at Taji during OIF II. I didn’t go outside the wire much (only a few times). I didn’t get into huge running firefights with Insurgents. Yes, we were shot at a few times, well more than a few, but nothing like the grunts who lived it almost every day. When my grandchildren ask what I did during the war, I tell them just what the brigade commander told us Controllers when we were leaving. I saved lives. I helped to make sure good men and women made it home to their loved ones. To me, it doesn’t get any better than that. Am I a hero? Not in any way shape or form, and that doesn’t bother me a bit.
Old Dog, that is excellent. I would add to that (as a couple of other astute posters already have), Frank is also looking for financial gain from the VA for his “wounds”.
Me Thinks Frank is on another Search and Destroy Mission:

Yeah, but I went sniffing around with my mad dog internet skills and found the rosters for the USMC Nam vets 1965-1969, and there was no one named Visconi on any of them.
Do you think that will spoil his day?
Durn! I hit ‘enter’ instead of shift.
To finish my statement, those rosters all show who got the Purple Heart and when, and there is no one named Visconi listed anywhere in 2nd or 3rd Bns. Period.
OK, Hondo, if he enlisted in 1964, then his service number would start with a ‘B’, right?
I think that’s the right one. The military was not using the SSN for identification back then in them there Olden Times.
Ex-PH2: no, USMC enlisted serial numbers from that era were 7-digit numbers that began with a “1” or a “2”. The USMC by then had terminated the World War II practice of beginning female Marine serial numbers with “W”. The USMC changed over to using the SSN in 1971.
Unlike the SSN, the Serial/Service Number is not and never has been protected by the Privacy Act. If present, it is among the information that may be released to the public on NPRCs replies to FOIA requests concerning military records.
Ex-PH2: the point of my comment was that we may soon know Visconi’s precise units of assignment – whether or not he ever “remembers” and tells us. If nothing else, it will enable us to determine if he actually rates that PUC he’s now claiming, and which does not appear on any of his DD214s/215s.
Knowing those units will also potentially allow identification of personnel who served with Visconi, and who can provide insight on his actual service in Vietnam.
If Visconi is telling the truth, that would be to his benefit. If he’s not telling the truth, well, . . . .
I wonder how soon Frankly O. will show up and officially bestow Visconi with the title of MCPL?
Maybe the abbreviation “LMF” would be more apropos, Proud Infidel.
Hondo I don’t remember LMF. But I do remember LSMFT. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. Or as we said as kids, Loose Straps Mean Floppy Tits. 😀
Sparks: you’re pretty smart – I think you can figure out that acronym. Why, it’s almost like the answer is Lying right in front of you. (smile)
Rock the lie until you die Frankie.
How can I miss you if you won’t go away?
Another glaring problem with your tall tales Frankie. The Marine Infantry Units in 1965 were pretty much as full stregnth as they would ever be.
Its not like they were so needy that they would go snatch a supply clerk from IIIMAF HQ Bn to go out with them.
The last thing I would want in a cohesive grunt squad would be some zit-faced supply kid who I knew jack shit about diddy-bopping through the bush with me.
Sure you can pull guard duty in the wire, but if you got no skills you are a liabity, not an assett.
Old Dog, see here: http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=41610&cpage=3#comment-1221114
Wee franke is SOL on this issue.
No matter what you think old dog, the infantry units didn’t call up support personnel to go out in the bush or into the battle with them. I happen to agree. Grunt units train together and they don’t need an outsider among them putting them in jeopardy. The leadership asked for support to stay back in the CP to assist so they could keep all the grunts in the field. I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I didn’t even get to report in. A Lt. just latched onto me and asked me who I was and I told him and he told me to come along with him. He told me they needed bodies to help evacuate wounded from the field so get on that chopper and go with them and they will tell you what to do. Things like that happen all the time and you damn well know it. And the same goes for remembering people. A grunt unit is tight and they’ve been together through all of it. They all know each other. It was not that way in support units, especially back then. I am not, nor have I ever tried to take away anything from what the grunts do. But remember OLD DOG,we are all Marines and we are all RIFLEMEN FIRST and foremost. We were all trained to do what we were told to do or don’t you remember that. Yes, I was green and I would have been a detriment to a unit that had been together for some time. But, as you also know, men were killed on a regular basis and your grunt unit had to have replacements and they were as green as anyone but you had to live with it. I can tell you this OLD DOG, wherever they would have put me and as green as I may have been, I would have NEVER backed off from anything and I would have given my life if I had to in order to support my fellow Marines. You guys focus on degrading… Read more »
ATTENTION BS ALERT:
You say, “A Lt. just latched onto me and asked me who I was and I told him and he told me to come along with him. He told me they needed bodies to help evacuate wounded from the field so get on that chopper and go with them and they will tell you what to do”.
I say, no Marine officer would do that …
### END OF BS ALERT ###
PS: BCNR decisions are FINAL. Your meager attempts to defraud the government FAILED. The BCNR and thier FINAL decision is based on false evidence that was fabricated and had no standing in fact and or history.
You are right Master Chief. Unless it was an emergency situation with dire consequences, no Marine Officer is going to just grab some passing Marine and put him on a helo without the approval of that Marines chain of command. We have a little thing called accountability and you cannot have that if everyone just jumps on the first thing smoking and goes riding off to the sound of the guns. It sounds heroic and sexy, it just does not happen in real life. EVER!
Nice try though Franklin. You old embellisher you……
“I don’t need to make up stories to make myself feel better.”
And yet you do.
“Let the law and/or the BCNR settle this.”
Sounds to me like both entities settled this long ago, you just choose to ignore the results and continue to be a fraud.
“All I want is my official records to reflect what I did.”
Your official records do reflect what you did. You were a Sergeant who served honorably in Vietnam in the supply field. You have ribbons and medals that reflect that service. It was honorable service. What you then did, is embellish your story and become a poser and a fraud.
Frank please send the letter from Co-Pilot of the helicopter to the contact link above. Or post it here. Please name the door gunner, who was mortally wounded and for whom you took over door gunner duties. Please name your Supply Unit Commander, the Senior NCO of Supply and some fellow Marine Supply Unit men you served with.
You wrote, “I don’t claim to be anything more than I am or was.” Yes Frank you DO and you HAVE.
You wrote, “A Lt. just latched onto me and asked me who I was and I told him and he told me to come along with him. He told me they needed bodies to help evacuate wounded from the field so get on that chopper and go with them and they will tell you what to do.” Please post the name of this LT Frank. Please post the Medevac Unit you got on the chopper with. Or the Helicopter Unit you jumped on board with.
Frank, the LT story is completely contradictory to you REPEATED citation claims of going to the higher ups and “volunteering” for all your daring-do.
Frank, little help here please.
His letter to the BCNR is in the files, go find it. I’m not posting anything on this or any other site so you can go after the people that wrote it. You guys are vicious and don’t care who you offend. I’m listening to all you bullshit because it’s me you are dogging. I have no reason or desire to bring anyone else into this madhouse of flying dung!
Is that a promise Francis ? Or just another one of your ” Self Produced ” claims ?
It is not about offending your sensibilities Francis … it is about “the truth”!
Looks like Sparks and Master Gunny Sgt Ret. found interest in my observation as well … We want to know who that Lt was and the helo crew as well … surely you know … these details never evaporate from ones mind!
Tell me Francis …
Your nose just keeps growing, Pinocchio. Why can’t you just be proud of the service you actually gave instead of adding the embellishments and BS? Nothing at all wrong or less honorable with being a supply clerk, if you did your best at it.
Actually, frankazilla, nobody here disses people who provide genuine backup for a claim.
You, on the other hand, refuse to provide any real backup of any kind. You have NO war stories, none of that ‘no shit, I was there’ stuff, no pictures… nothing.
And on top of that, you’re a one-trick, boring, rainbow sparkle swamp donkey so full of hot air, you could float a flotilla of balloons.
And yet I see everwhere I go – as do we all – photos and memories and ‘no shit, I was there, and Woz did so-and-so’ stories, enough to fill an encyclopedia.
From you? Crickets… and weak sauce arguments, blame on everyone else for why you can’t get your way, and refusal to answer simple direct questions like the name of the ship you were on when you went to Chu Lai.
Ok Frank – the following info is directly from the SECNAVINST 1650.1H (Navy and Marine Corps Awards Manual). it can be found at the following link: http://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publications/SecNavInst%201650.1H.pdf Specific info for the Bronze Star Medal (page 2-26): (2) The Bronze Star Medal may only be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who are in receipt of Imminent Danger Pay at the time of the actions or service for which they are being recognized. To merit this award, the acts or services must be performed in a manner significantly above that normally expected, and sufficient to distinguish the individual above those performing similar acts or services. The award may be authorized as follows: (a) Heroic Achievement or Service. A single act of heroism worthy of special recognition, although not to the degree required for the Silver Star Medal, or several minor acts of heroism. An award for Heroic Service may cover an extended period of time; such award does not preclude receipt of an additional award for a specific act within that period, if warranted. Specific Info for the Purple Heart Medal: c. An individual must have been wounded either as a direct or indirect result of enemy action. A “wound” is defined as an injury to any part of the body from an outside force or agent, sustained while in action as described in the eligibility requirements. A physical lesion is not required, provided the concussion or other form of injury received was a result of the action in which engaged. d. Except in the case of a prisoner of war, the wound for which the award is made must have required treatment by a medical officer at the time of injury. Only one award is authorized for more than one wound or injury received at the same instant, from the same missile, force, explosion, or agent. Prisoners of war, if entitled, will be limited to a single Purple Heart covering the entire period of their captivity. Under Chapter 8 – Prior Service and Veterans Awards, for the Purple Heart Medal: c. Eligibility Determinations. Personnel may apply directly to the… Read more »
Senior,
A little harsh.
No 10 year old would have written anything so poorly … 7 or 8 year old maybe.
Just sayin’.
Sorry MCPO…I have no mercy for Marines that try to “embellish” their accomplishments…
Agreed …
BTW: Bernath is not, never was nor will he ever be a Genuine or Honorary CPO …
Keeps playing in my mind …
You are exactly right. I am a much better writer than that so obviously I didn’t write it. It also has mistakes in it and I am not that dumb to leave mistakes in a document like that and I would have done my research. One officer on TWS said that those kinds of documents are read and re-read over and over before they go out and they are error free. Bullshit. I have spoken with several people who have received citations that had to be returned because of misspelled words, wrong dates, wrong locations. In fact, the General that promoted me to Sgt. was awarded the Navy Cross for actions in Pelilu and his NC citation originally said Guadalcanal. Then after the correction, it was the wrong place again. The third time they finally got it right…Pelilu! Our Marine Corps is not as perfect as everyone believe it is. Just because we are the BEST at KILLING doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes.
I would like to give a half assed apology for any comments that might have offended anyone yesterday (except Frank). Only half assed because I thought I was incredibly funny, but I was medicated and had no sleep for 2 days. Today I’ve slept!
This guy is just a moron, plain and simple.
He will never be wrong. But the good things is, at least inferred from his picture, is that he is shriveling and drying up.
Hopefully a good wind will pick up and “Poof” – No more Visconti!
Did your friend and apparent leader Killeffer tell you that his original posting on his website blowfish contained my social security number, my address, date of birth,etc., all information that anyone needs to commit identity theft. That is one LOW prick, no matter what sick thoughts are in his mind. Watch your backs because he is the type that will stick a knife in you when you are not looking. You need to take a good look at some of the people around you, especially Killeffer. My SSN was out on his website for 16 days before one of his friends finally convinced him that he had gone just a tad bit too far. That is a federal offense my friends and not only that, who in their right mind is sick enough to do that to anyone these days no matter what they think of him. I’ve seen LOW before, but that’s about as low as one can go, with the exception maybe of the little piss ant gal who had to bring my mother into this whole thing. Sicko’s. You think you know it all because you are able to look up shit on the computer. I’ve read the entire SECNAVINST 1650 from front to back more than once and it is fraught with mistakes, ambiguity and it is so outdated even OLD DOG wouldn’t understand it. Get your shit together. Today everyone who serves in Afghanistan gets either the CAR or the whatever the Army calls it because they are exposed to IED’s on a regular basis. What about the Nam booby traps that were everywhere. Just as deadly except some of them didn’t end your life instantly, they made you suffer for a long time before you died. So whoever posted the bullshit from the manual didn’t need to. I’ve read it all. And tell me this, if I made up my own documents, why wouldn’t I have gone to the manual and looked up EXACTLY what an award citation would look like? My citation was written like it should have been for an award that… Read more »
Visconi: um, no. Now, I’m no lawyer (and neither are you, remember) – but unlike you, I can read and comprehend English. The last time I checked, the Privacy Act’s protections of SSN info generally only applied to the Federal government. The only prohibitions on private individuals listed in the Privacy Act appear to relate to obtaining protected information from a government agency by false pretenses. Therefore, if you or another private entity was the source of the info in question, that’s not a criminal violation of the Privacy Act.
You’re free to double check me, of course. The law can be found here:
http://www.justice.gov/opcl/privstat.htm
Buy the way: thanks again for confirming, explicitly, that you are the one who fabricated the certificates for your awards in question. You’d already admitted to that, but the above is a VERY CLEAR AND SUCCINCT admission of that fact.
Now, you are cordially invited go fornicate yourself with a cactus stalk – preferably, occotillo.
No Frank,
You know what is LOW?!?! Taking a perfectly honorable service and SHITTING all over it.
THEN embellishing and LYING about your deeds of daring do that were really “deeds of daring didn’t happen”.
THAT my friend is LOW.
Stop. Just STOP. You’re a LYING little PRICK and you will NEVER convince us otherwise.
The TRUTH is the TRUTH is the TRUTH.
I was never in combat but many of the guys and gals I served with were deployed in a combat theater and truly were in harms way.
Hell it was MY job to sit with the Commander and Senior Staff as the NCOIC of Mobility and Deployments and choose who went.
It was my job to go down the mobility roster with the other Top Three staff and tell my best friend to pull the car over because I had to read to him, “By order of the President of the united States…you are hereby ordered to report…” and try not to tear up.
I would NEVER think about disrespecting my brothers and sisters-in-arms by claiming THEIR status.
YOU SUCK for doing just that.
You are a sick, SAD little man, with nothing.
GFY, EABOD & FOAD
Frank, why when asked simple, easily answered questions about your real duties in Vietnam as a Supply person, do you not answer them? Why do you do as most posers do, respond by diverting the conversation to someone or something else? You are NOT being up front, forthright and honest here Frank. You say you are looking at many documents in front of you which justify your claims. Why not post them here or send the to the Contact info at the top of the page? Why? Because what ever you are looking at in front of you are as phony and bogus as the ones we have seen already. I will tell you Frank, if you post RIGHTEOUS documents that support your claim I will be the first in line to apologize from the bottom of my heart. Please Frank please do not respond that you are waiting to resolve this with whatever records agency you are “fighting” with and then you will set me straight. Please don’t do that. If you have these gobs of documents to support you, please simply post them here and let this be done and allow me apologize to you.
Better yet Frank simply answer the questions I asked earlier. Who was the Commanding Officer of your supply unit? Who was the Senior NCO? Who were some of your fellow Marine supply personnel you served with? Those are damned easy questions to answer Frank. Again, please don’t say, “you folks are so good at getting records, get them yourself”. That shit won’t wash anymore Frank.
I posted my documents on TWS once before and look what it got me into. Not about to do that again. Besides they are right in front of you on Killeffer’s blowfish.com website. My CO was Major Manny Viera (NEVER SAW HIM and his deceased and has been for some time); XO, Major Daigle(never saw him either in Nam but found him in Cincinnati a few years back. Went to see him and he said he didn’t want to get involved because he could not be 100% certain of anything and he was afraid he would get in trouble). Had not First Shirt. NCOIC was a Corporal who later became an officer and retired as a Major. I am not giving his name because it is already out there and he has been bothered before and he has written letters on my behalf. You find it out. He is the one that confirmed that we left Okinawa in March with the III MAF and remembers six of us sitting in a fox hole on top of a hill above where we landed early that morning. One of the six of us was a CPL who was a Korean War vet and had earned the Silver Star. That’s it. I was a Pfc right out of ITR. Back then a Cpl was Jesus and a Sergeant was God and Pfc’s didn’t even dare talk to them let alone a Major. I didn’t know any of them because they were officers and out of my range of reach. That’s how it was. The Cpl. happened to be from Michigan and I remembered his name very well because he pounced on me a few times and was meaner than a junk yard dog. You can believe it or not, but I do not remember one single name of any of the guys in my unit. If I did, I would be contacting them. We were scattered all over the place. I was in a place where enemy wanted to hurt or kill me. I was scared and all I wanted to do was… Read more »
You told Chewie names and places but you cannot relate any of that to the BLOG!
So the manual is, “… fraught with mistakes, ambiguity and it is so outdated…” because it doesn’t say what you want it to say?
“Today everyone who serves in Afghanistan gets either the CAR or the whatever the Army calls it because they are exposed to IED’s on a regular basis.” That’s simply not true. The is a criteria to receive the Armies Combat Action Badge. Just being downrange is not enough. For someone who claims to know the regs, you certainly don’t show it.
Did that phony-baloney codpiece jock itch scratcher call ME a pissant?
Hey, BUTTHEAD VISCONI, I DID NOT BRING YOUR MAMA INTO THIS. YOU DID.
Short term memory loss. Not a good sign for you, visconi.
Oh, and here is another P.S. for you about your friend Killeffer. He’s a COWARD! He posts his shit and yes, I filed charges against him for defamation. At least Schantag had the balls to show up for court. Killeffer intentionally evaded all process servers because he was afraid to face me in court. The truth is this: I lost the first case because the statute of limitations had run out in Tennessee so I had to file in Missouri where the statute of limitations was two years instead of one. The judge dismissed it “WITHOUT PREJUDICE” because of technicalities. Without prejudice means that the case can be re-filed. At that time I did not know that so I filed an appeal and the appeal failed because I didn’t have to appeal. So, I re-filed in the Circuit Court in Missouri and the judge set a hearing date to hear a motion made by Schantag’s lawyer. I did not know I had to appear for HIS hearing and I didn’t go (it’s a ten hour drive for me to the little podunk town where Schantag knows everyone and has gotten away with a whole lot more than defamation. You can look up his history for yourself). That is why the MO court dismissed that case. That was the end until Killeffer again in June of 2013 defamed me again. I filed a second complaint in the county I live in and once again, the sheriff’s department and two different process servers were unable to serve him because he hid out and everyone of them reported back to the court that he was intentionally evading service, the COWARD that he is. He finally got an attorney to write up a motion to change the venue to his location and THEN he finally came out of hiding. He says he was a Pro Se litigant but anyone could tell he had a friend attorney writing up his motions. We met in his county court after the venue was changed for a hearing. At that time the judge, confused to say the least… Read more »
Guess you wasted your money on that internet law degree. You don’t even know what courts to file in? I have a hard time with this. According to you, everyone involved is either clueless, lazy, or out to get you. I’ve never seen such a clusterfuck in all my life. And enough with the, “I exude it (Marines) just by my demeanor” bullshit. If that were true, why do you find it necessary to wear Marine Corps stuff? You simply come across as a blowhard, and an arrogant one at that. I can’t speak for everyone, but I do believe all here are just as tired as I am of seeing you try to explain everything away with the excuses that the regs are wrong, the court system is clueless, lazy, corrupt, the Navy records folks are ignorant. It seems that in your world everyone, including the people who actually work records for a living, are wrong, lazy, and cowards. Your self righteous attitude is tiring. Here’s a newsflash for you, Sparky. Unlike you, folks here don’t need pretty little ribbons on their chests to prove they have honor. They prove it every day of their lives by dong what they do, going about their daily lives with honesty and integrity. You would do well to try and emulate them. See, you can’t keep your story straight. First, you say (according to your citations) that you volunteered for numerous assignments and operations. Then you tell us you didn’t. You said you had your documents analyzed by a professional, then you tell us you didn’t. Why should we believe anything you have to say when you can’t even keep those simple stories straight?
Almost forgot. Go exude your demeanor, Hero. (Lest you think that was an admission, it was sarcasm.)

Proud This is one long winded son of a bitch! You ask him what fucking time it is and he tells you how to build a watch! He WILL NOT answer the simply questions I have posed to him because…here it comes…HE IS A SCARED COWARD AMONG COWARDS! That’s right Frank. YOU ARE A COWARD FOR NOT ANSWERING SIMPLY QUESTIONS THAT ANYONE WHO SERVED IN THE MILITARY, COMBAT OR NOT, COULD ANSWER ABOUT THEIR UNIT! YOU ARE SO VERY SCARED OF BEING FOUND OUT, WHICH FRANK BY THE WAY, YOU HAVE BEEN, THAT YOU WILL NOT GIVE OUT THIS INFORMATION! Why Frank? I’ll tell you. Because as soon as you start naming names, you know fucking good and well some of those men are still alive and WILL be contacted to verify your bullshit! That is why you are too COWARDLY to answer those questions Frank. Now Frank go fuck yourself with a rolled up bunch of those documents in front of you and then…go fuck yourself again with a fresh roll!
Let me add one minor suggested improvement to Sparks’ last sentence, Visconi: fold that large stack of “self-produced” documents until they are all sharp corners first.
On behalf of F.O.: ANOTHER MEGA CLASSLESS PATHETIC LOSER IS RANK VISCONI.
Blow it out yo9ur barracks bag, Visconi. You have nothing to support your claims.
Watch it Ex-PH2, you will now be the recipient of a 5000 word post about how you are wrong, the government is wrong, everyone else who posts here is wrong and Francis is a friggin war hero.
Lookin’ forward to it, Master Guns.
Bring it!
Holy Shite!! Lighten up Francis!!!
Teal Dear (TL, DR)
Interesting. This source says that Tennessee does not have any laws making defamation a crime:
http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/criminal-libel-statutes-state-by-state
Want to try again on that “filed charges” part, Frankie-boi? Was that just another “mistake” on your part? Or was that another example of a “self-produced” fantasy?
Oh, while I’m at it, I roundly refute the baseless claim that law enforcement ONLY works for the bad guys. I lived in Chicago for 30 long years. If there is ANY city with a bad rep for bad cops, it’s Chicago.
If law enforcemdent ONLY works for the bad guys, then how come a bullying off-duty cop like Abate, who beat the crap out of a bartender one-third his size because she wouldn’t serve him any more liquor, is not only OUT OF A JOB as a cop, but will NEVER be able to work as a cop ever again?
Answer that, Visconi. How come?
You are SO FULL OF HOT AIR AND BALONEY, you may NEVER see the end of this crap that YOU started.
Here’s something funny. Frankie Boy claimed to work as a LEO. Guess that means he was working for the bad guys too. Doesn’t say much about him, does it.
So, Franky. All cops work for the bad guys. You were a cop. So how much did you make off the bad guys? You can tell us. You’ve already admitted to being a corrupt cop.
Jesus Frank, it appears if it were not for bad luck, you would have no luck at all!
Lost award honors; Lost promotion orders; Wrong judge; Wrong court. I’m surprised when you shipped out for Vietnam, you didn’t land in mainland China!
One thing Frances, if I googled your name correctly, you worked for an insurance conglomerate on insurance fraud. That is NOT Law Enforcement. Did you have powers of arrest? Did you attend an academy and were you certified by the state? Are you covered by HR218? I don’t think so. Quit with the “30 years of law enforcement” crap. You were the equivalent of a Private Investigator.
or as they call them a “private Dick”
How about private dickless?
No, he truly is a dick. A tiny, flaccid, worthless one perhaps, but still a dick.
Your are also a dumb ass. I was on a suburb of Detroit P.D. for 14 years then left and went to Broward County Sheriff’s Department for one year then moved back to Michigan where I started as a Special Agent with the National Automobile Theft Bureau. We carried guns and we investigated auto theft and auto fraud. We later merged with an organisation that investigated Insurance Fraud and became the National Insurance Crime Bureau. We are all licensed investigators and we enforced fraud and theft laws. I call that law enforcement dimwit. I spent fourteen years on the street cuffing people like you. And the cases we worked in the auto theft bureau and the NICB were multi million dollar frauds that involved people like the Russian mob whom you do not want to mess with. After I left the P.D. I worked directly out of the Michigan State Policy office working auto theft with them. I then got transferred to Chicago where I also worked theft and fraud rings that were operated by people that make the VC look like grade schoolers. You guys will latch onto anything and try to turn it around to make yourselves right no matter how wrong you are. If investigating mob run theft and fraud rings is not law enforcement, then you don’t know what you are talking about. When I got out of the Corps I applied for Detroit P.D. but my eyesight was too bad. Anything else you want to make fun of?? Actually I applied to for a law enforcement job to get out of the Corps 9 months early. If you got hired by a P.D. the Corps would let you out. I didn’t get hired in time so I had to serve my full four years. So sad! Yes, I attended an Academy and even a second one when I relocated to Broward County Florida where you go on man with a gun call all by your lonesome with no backup anywhere in sight or by the time they got there, you had already done what was… Read more »
Oh Lawd, He’s FBI now,, Stand back non Believers !!
And he’s invoked the Russian ‘mob’!
How about I invoke the Mexican ‘mafia’, pendejo?
So you were helping the bad guys!! We knew it! So tell us, Frankie. How much did you make off of them? You were LEO and LEO only works for the bad guys. That’s what you told us. Or was that a lie also?
well, Frankie. If you spent 14 years cuffing people like me, then you really were a corrupt cop. So by your own admittance you were arresting people for no reason. Kinda unconstitutional don’t you think? And you claim to have honor?
Your eyesight was too bad for Detroit PD but some other agency hired you in the same state? No state standards back then? right. Tell me about your academy, where was it? How many weeks?
The lies pile higher and deeper.
The National Automobile theft bureau is a PRIVATE company Frankie. You probably could get a carry permit, but YOU WEREN’T COPS. Give yourself the “title” of Special Agent all you want.
If you want to see a lying deadbeat, find a reflective surface.
A wanna be war hero, and a wanna be cop. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, now you can fuck off asshole. I’m done with you, you are dismissed.
RM3(SS) Sorry I posted and hit submit after you and stepped on your comment. My point exactly.
Visconi: last time I checked, “private investigator” =/= LE.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau is a nonprofit organization. While it works with LE agencies, it is not a law enforcement agency and it’s “investigators” and employees are not LE personnel. They’re private investigators.
Frank if your eyesight was to bad, even corrected, for the PD, then how did you pass the Marine physical? I know they will take you with corrected vision and an issue of “rape prevention glasses” but…so will every Police Department I have ever heard of. Lots of LEOs wear glasses Frank. LOTS!
You spent from age 24 to 60 “fighting crime”? Um, Frankie-boi . . . you might want to ‘splain that a bit.
You were born in 1946 (I’ll be nice and not post the precise date). That means you turned 24 in 1970.
Your public LinkedIn profile – of which I’ve archived a copy to PDF in case it “magically” changes – says you attended the University of Michigan/Dearborn from 1972-1976, earning a BA in Political Science. It also says you attended the University of Michigan (location unspecified, so presumably main campus at Ann Arbor) from 1977-1980, earning a Master of Public Administration (MPA). The former would appear to be full-time status as a student; the latter, at least 2/3 time.
I also found it interesting that your public LinkedIn profile makes no mention of your work as a LE officer – or of any employment before 1992, for that matter.
Wanna enlighten us?
And guess what his last bosses name is “Bear Bryant” former deputy director of the FBI who according to Frances “has walked and talked with Presidents”.
Well Frances,
Let me start with Visconi v United States, your last case of three against the US; the one that was dismissed with prejudice.
As a part of “Discovery” the US got a copy of your OMPF(Official Military Personnel File)which included all of the correspondence from YOU to various governmental departments. This is where you tripped on you dick DUDE. You wrote USMC Awards Branch in January 2006 and related that your squad leader told you he was going to recommend you for a Purple Heart; you also related that a Warrant Officer told you that you would be recommended for a Bronze Star. You further stated that you didn’t know what happened to the recommendations but you did not receive the awards. This letter is included in your OMPF.
Then in 2008 or 2009 you wrote the Secretary of the Navy and the Bureau of Correction of Naval Records (BCNR)requesting that your records be updated to include your BS and PH. In that letter you furnished copies of your phony citations that you said were awarded to you in May of 1969. I guess you assumed that Marine Corps Awards Branch and BCNR and the Secretary of the Navy did not communicate with one another. Well this time you really stepped on your dick.
In summary, in 2006 you told MC Awards Branch you didn’t receive the awards and then in 2008 or 2009 you presented the documents to the Secretary of the Navy and BCNR and stated they were presented to you in 1969. Well Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could see the problem with your statements.
What a liar Frances, you couldn’t fool a 2nd grader with your phony story.
What a dumbass… too smart for his own good.
Hey Sam,
This Francine gal sure does not like you!
Thanks for all the raw info on her.
And don’t worry about her … she seems like a real bitch anyway!
OK Franklin, what is the deal here?? Did the gubment get it wrong again? Cause Mr. Killeffer lays out a pretty persuasive case that you tried to back door the awards process by trying to play one entity against another in order to get your phony awards entered in your record. And you got caught. And not taking not just no but HELL NO for an answer, you have tried ever since to correct something that cannot be corrected.
Now while I am sure you have a 5000 word answer for my questions, I really don’t want to hear it. You are a goddamn liar and a valor thief. You brought that on yourself.
I do not consider you a Marine any more since you have stolen the valor of real Marines and tried to claim awards and honor that you do not rate.
Just stop with your lies. At the least, just stop posting here. Nobody believes a damn word you say. You were fun to bat around, but even that has grown tiresome. Just go away old liar. Go away and stop your bullshit.
Careful, Master Guns.
You just challenged him by saying ‘don’t lob another 5K word volley of boring trivia at me’.
Watch out for the bushes. They might be quivering.
Wow Frankie, Sam put you down like a rodeo clown.
Nobody here knows what kind of a Marine you were, but now everyone knows what kind of liar you are–a piss poor one.
You keep getting knocked down cuz you’re punching way outside your weight class. Take some good advice–stay down.
Well, Francis, ya come back to stomp your feet and hold your breath till you face turns blue?
Ask A Marine – the name of the Major Is Major Polderdyke, as found in the Visconi vs. Braden dismissal docs.
Frank, please verify GDContractor is correct.
Braden was the judge you nimwit. It’s Visconi v. U.S. Government. You guys are dumber than I thought. Hey, I just clicked on the ‘Stolen Valor” link on this site. Hundreds! Wow, you guys are busy beavers. When do you have the time to take a shit when you have all these phonies to harass. I’m just guessing but I’ll bet you guys get your jollies off doing this, right. Yep, I’m right. Ooooh! what bad asses you are! And so full of knowledge. I’m so impressed!
I find the time to come here and watch so many of you throw your two year old tantrums.
Frank,
Please verify that Polderdyke (identified by GDContractor) was the name of the USMC who was with you from MARCH-MAY 1965 on a Ship.
What was the name of the Ship, please?
OK .. Franky you got us … we are dumb!
Game over … Franky got us!
NO FRANKIE …. we are disecting everything you say and everything you claimed you have done!
We are not dumb … just a wee bit smarter than you!
Yes BRADEN WAS THE Judge. Visconi v United States was a prior decision. ASSHOLE

Reading the decision above, the BCNR rejected the signature of J.A.Polidori as being unlike other examples. So what did Frank say about that? He said that the signature could have been made by a subordinate. So which is it Frank? A true signature certified by the expert analyst, or a fake signature affixed by a subordinate. It cannot be both. ASSHOLE.
If the signature is made by a subordinate, there should be a line that says ‘by so-and-so for so-and-so’.
Otherwise, it’s not a legit signature.
Frankie,
You might be in the running for “Dumbass of the Month”.
Dunno about that, Sam Killeffer. Frankie Snows the NBCMR here has some really stiff competition. See the Bernath and Chevalier discussions (more than one of each) on this site.
Sam,
There is no reason insult all dumbasses. Francine is severely impaired beyond dumbasshood.
So please leave the poor dumbasses out of this …
I don’t know what to call Francine but she is far more stupid than just your regular everyday dumbass!
Just sayin’!
I’m not dumb enough to fake 2 citations on a word processor in a font that wasn’t invented until 1994. That’s a special kind of stupid. Are you sure that Punji stick didn’t strike straight to your brain?
Let me see if I’ve got this right.
Frankazilla here thinks that outing phonies is a bad thing to do.
So I identify the real portrait sitter of an altered retirement portrait as someone I knew nearly 50 years ago when I was in the Navy, and this discovery uncovers all kinds of other things, including the fact that twice, the portrait thief has stolen copyrighted work by the man I knew as well as by another man.
Both instances of theft are documented, the thief has been sued for copyright violation twice, and now I’ve found a third instance of copyrighted work that he has used without permission, and notified the owner.
And there is much more than that going on with the thief as I write this.
So that makes me a bad person? Well, by Frankenwienie’s standards it does.
I don’t think so, Francesca.
Like I said elsewhere, you are a liar, a looter and a pillager, just like the subject of my discussion above.
Right now, I don’t believe anything you say, because everything you say is BALOONEY TUNE BALONEY.
Frank (2nd Request),
Please:
(1) Identify the SPECIFIC unit you were TAD with during STARLITE. You now know not every unit with 3/3 was awarded the PUC during STARLITE. You also know that just being in a Combat Zone does not justify a CAR.
(2) Explain how it was possible the USMC was able to use the ITC Edwardian Script Font in your PH and BSM w/V Citations in 1969.
(3) Identify the name of the Ship you were on for the time period MARCH-MAY 1965.
(4) Identify the USMC Door Gunner who was “mortally wounded” during STARLITE between 17-18 AUG 65.
By the way, you guys have looked up all kinds of things and found a whole bunch of things about me, why is it you can’t located the fact that I was promoted to SSgt in May 1969. It is out there somewhere. Unlike Killeffer says in his blowfish.com blog, I was NOT a Sgt. at DISCHARGE. I was a Sgt. at RELEASE in 68. I was and am a SSgt at DISCHARGE. That I will post on here if you want. Just let me know how to do it because I can’t see a way to attach documents. I’ll do that but you dickheads will just say I manufactured it anyway. It won’t copy and paste, I tried. You’ll have to tell me how to attach it. I’m not as smart as all of you are.
Frank, at the top of this page is a place labeled Contact Us. You may send your documents to the Administrator at the link or email address and he will get it posted here. Not hard at all.
Maybe we cannot find that because it never happened, just as the Judge who dismissed your law suit noted. As the judge noted the Navy dismissed your claims because you did not prove it and the evidence you provided was found to have been fake in their opinion.
So tell me Frank, how are we supposed to find something online that never happened?
Specific Unit you were assigned to, names of those with you who can verify this information and have them come on here and do so. It’s funny in all the time you have been fighting that not one person has stepped forward. Not in your lawsuit against Pownetwork or anyone else either.
Frank (3nd Request),
Please:
(1) Identify the SPECIFIC unit you were TAD with during STARLITE. You now know not every unit with 3/3 was awarded the PUC during STARLITE. You also know that just being in a Combat Zone does not justify a CAR.
