Jessica Watkins – Decorated Vet with no NDSM

| March 17, 2021

Jessica Watkins – Mugshot

The folks at Military Phony send us their work on Ms. Jessica Marie Watkins, formerly known as Mr. Jeremy David Watkins.

Jessica served in the U.S. Army as a male – Jeremy David Watkins.  Court records in Rochester, New York, show that Watkins changed his/her name to Jessica Marie Watkins in 2004.  Along with a boyfriend, Watkins owns and operates a bar called the “Jolly Roger” in Woodstock, Ohio.

Watkins has been in the news lately due to storming the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, as a member of Oathkeepers, being one of the first people being arrested and facing charges.  Watkins claims to have been providing security according to a CNN article.

Watkins has also said to have admitted to training Oathkeepers in some kind of boot camp military training.

Capitol riot: Prosecutors say Champaign County woman’s training included ‘war games’

“The U.S. Army said Watkins served under the name Jeremy David Watkins as an infantryman in the U.S. Army from April 2001 to December 2003, including time in Afghanistan, an Army spokesman said.”

Watkins has been described as a “decorated Army vet.”

“Watkins’ journey from decorated Army vet …”

“Records show Watkins served honorably in the Army under a different name, including duty in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2003. Court records in Rochester, New York, showed she changed her name to Jessica Marie Watkins in 2004. She also lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving as a first responder with emergency medical training, before settling in Woodstock about three years ago.”

Watkins has also been described as an Army Ranger.

“The Oath Keeper and former Army Ranger had earlier organized her own militia group.”

Several people had reported this and asked for clarification on Watkins military service wanting the truth.

. . . . .

So, what do the folks at the NPRC have to say:

FOIA Result – Jeremy Watkins – Summary Sheet

FOIA Result – Jeremy Watkins – Assignments

. . . . .

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY

LENGTH OF SERVICE

Watkin’s military records show a short enlistment, which usually indicates an early discharge. Also of interest is that he was discharged as a Private after serving 2 years 5 months and 24 days of military service.

AFGHANISTAN

Although the records do not indicate this, we were told by the NPRC that he served in Afghanistan from September 20, 2002 to December 4, 2002. This is an extremely short deployment which may indicate a problem other than being wounded, but there is no Purple Heart award in the records.

AWARDS

The odd thing is that Watkins has no National Defense Service Medal (NDSM) nor a Global War on Terrorism – Expeditionary Medal (GWOT-EM).

NOTE: The Character of Discharge is something that is not releasable under the FOIA guidelines. However, the Department of the Army regulations state: “Veterans or next of kin of deceased veterans who were discharged under other than honorable conditions are not entitled to any medals earned during the less than honorable period of service.

This would explain the lack of certain awards and leads us to believe that the circumstances surrounding Watkins leaving the Army places some doubt on the “decorated vet” statement made in the press.

ARMY RANGER

Although Watkins has the Parachutists Badge, it does not appear that Watkins finished RIP training. An Army Ranger that served with BATT his entire career tells us that RIP – now RASP – is just to get to BATT. He then said you have to serve for two years before you can call yourself a Ranger and there is no six-month fast track.  In other words – graduate RASP and serve in BATT for 2 years.

We have also heard the argument that if anyone that has served in Ranger Regiment –  tab or no tab – is a Ranger.  The Ranger tab is just a three-month school.

SUMMARY

We wanted to get the truth out and let people decide what constitutes a “decorated vet” and Army Ranger.

We have found that the Oathkeepers seemed to be a band of misfits, embellishers, and military wannabes. Although they do have veterans, there often seems to be a pattern of questionable past behavior that undermines their narrative of veterans that served with high distinction.

This case fits right into all the previous blogs we have posted on them here… more embellished grabasstic nonsense.   It is obvious to me that little Jeremy here was pitched out of the Army with an Other Than Honorable Discharge.   As is often the case with these clowns, they seem to make being a Professional Victim as their career path.  One thing is for sure,  the Army does not throw you out without a mountain of paperwork to explain why.   I bet Jessica has access to it all.  It would be nice to read what the Army had to say instead of Jessica’s version only.

Calling little Jeremy Watkins a “decorated Army vet” is a bit of a stretch and may give civilians who do not know any better the wrong impression about his service.   I suggest Jessica move on with her life and leave the less than honorable service of  Jeremy in the past.

Hey, where’s 5th/77th FA been lately?

I figured he would be first to be all up in Jessica – plowing into her like a bus wit no brakes.

5th/77th FA

Had to be out and about FIRST thing this morning, and gots to get back out there. Saw this Skrunt on MP on evening last, but it wasn’t open for comments yet. Self identified as a wannabe soldier and now wants to self identify as a wanna be girl? WTF. Fugly as all homemade sin. Wonder if IT realizes that Bubba Thor, Julio, and “Mr Tiny” will identify IT as the centerfold in Prison Bride Weekly?

And yes I will again, be the FIRST to call for a deployment of The TAH Hemisphere of Insults on the lying, embellishing wanna be female that will always be a male, Jeremy/Jessica Watkins. Can I get a SECOND and an AYE?

Luck of the Irish to all you Lads and Lasses.

And a two-a…
Usually I have refrained from deploying the HoI for individuals DNA identified as females because of misogyny and shit, however, we have had some recent exceptions to the rule (Shillary I believe, if I’m not mistaken) AND there was some discussion not of the admin types and it really started with “CV” and Jonn, again, if memory serves, that I not deploy it against the ladies, but, again, I digress….the ladies here at one point debated this and agreed that, if the Roberts Rules have been met and I polled the women’s Team TAH and they agreed, then yes, it’s approved.
That being said, this bitch tits here AIN’T a LADY and AIN’T no Woyman (or however these proggy freaks spell it these days). This. Is. A. DUDE. Period!! (see what I did there?!?!?! Huh Huh?!?!? )
SO, my rules say, GAME ON!!!
Do we have an “AYE” vote? And a three-a???

Patton Quote added to the end …

On George S. Patton: (Multiple sources but… http://www.pattonhq.com/speech.html )

“He could, when necessary, open up with both barrels and let forth such blue-flamed phrases that they seemed almost eloquent in their delivery. When asked by his nephew about his profanity, Patton remarked, “When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An Army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.”

rgr769

Yeah, he is still a dude with fake tits, even if it has had the wang-ectomy. (I’ll call him “it” because he hasn’t told us his preferred pronouns.) Query for those in the know, does it go to the Women’s federal PITA facility or to the Mens’ joint.

akpual

Dammit, and here all along I’ve been calling it a winkiectomy.

Thunderstixx

Oh the Hell with it !!!!
Gotta post this on something as fukked as this klownes brain obviously is !!!!!

MI Ranger

I would agree with your source that says since RIP/RASP is not listed it calls into question what he did to get to my Ranger Battalion.
– Two things that point to bad paperwork is, there is also no listing of Airborne School, just Casual status. You don’t just hang out at Fort Benning School for Boys after OSUT, you get orders to some place, even if it is just across post to Airborne school.
– Second things is, I have seen people just show up to Ranger Battalion with orders and not go to RIP before. We signed him in, and sent him on his way back to Fort Benning to attend the next class…he did make it, can’t remember if he also had to attend Airborne school (a requirement).

Yes, the short duration of his time in the Army, as well as sudden change of station to Fort Bragg…which might indicate custody before discharge. A Ranger Contract (enlist to go to Ranger Regiment is a four year contract, because it includes Airborne School). It is possible to Enlist as just an Infantryman, and somehow get Airborne School, and if you have an MOS that Regiment needs the recruiter at Fort Benning standing at Airborne School will convince you to try out for the Rangers, no additional obligation. Even then though it is a three year hitch, not two!

Definately not highly decorated! No covetted NDSM.

Martinjmpr

Yup, I noticed the no Airborne school assignment as well, even though he has a parachutist badge.

So one of those things has to be wrong. Either he went to jump school and it was not put in his records, or he didn’t go to jump school and isn’t entitled to the badge.

But see my comment below – how likely is it that a non-airborne private would stay in the regiment for 17 months?

rgr769

I’d like to know where they found the clerk that filled out his assignment section of his 2-1, it looks like it was written by Hellen Keller, in addition to missing three weeks of jump school.

xyzzy

Point of order: Wouldn’t his TIS during GWOT get him NDSM by default? I mean, he does seem to have post 9/11/2001 service, so…🤷🏻‍♂️

sbalm

Please see the Army reg quoted in the writeup – it addresses the lack of a GWOT and NDSM.

MarineDad61

xyzzy,

Question –
What’s worse then making combat claims WITHOUT an NDSM?

26Limabeans

Heh, Lyin Louie’s “honorary” discharge beats this freak’s by a mile.

akpual

Yep

Martinjmpr

The flaw in this analysis is that it is all predicated on one very dubious assumption: That the NPRC record is correct and without omissions. How many times have we seen blatant, obvious errors on these NPRC requests? Right off the top of my head, Les Brown Stain’s 2 NDSMs when there is no way he could possibly have been entitled to 2 awards of the NDSM? We’ve also seen blatant omissions, blatant errors, and even spelling and grammar mistakes that an 8th grader wouldn’t make. I’ve said it before and undoubtedly I’ll say it again: It’s pretty obvious that these NPRC requests are given to the newest, lowest ranking hungover clerk in the office at 4:45 on Friday with instructions that he/she can’t go home until they’re done, and that there is ZERO review or quality control. I’ve never served in the Ranger regiment, so those who have con comment but I would point out that the record of assignments shows that Watkins was assigngned to the regiment for 17 months (October 01 through March 03.) It strains credibility to think that the Reginent would keep a shitbag on the rolls for that long, particularly when that was one of the highest op-tempo times in their history, right at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan. My understanding (corrections from those in the know are welcomed) is that the Rangers are very quick to bounce out anybody who doesn’t contribute to the mission, so why was Watkins there for so long? I suppose one possible explanation could be an arrest and court martial proceedings early on in Watkins assignment to the Regiment that kept Watkins “on the rolls” while not actually a part of the 1st Battalion. It’s also interesting that Watkins was transferred from Hunter Army Airfield (near Savannah, GA) to the 3/505th, a part of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, 275 miles away (per Google Maps) without any PCS (Permanent Change of Station) showing up. I suppose one possibility could be that some sort of legal or administrative proceeding was intimated by 1/75’s higher headquarters,… Read more »

PTBH

Martinjmpr – Believe me when I say we had the exact same concern and double-checked with NPRC in regard to medals. They confirmed that what was transcribed from the DD-214 and Awards section is accurate. They then quoted the Army manual (as above) but underscored the fact that they are not allowed to release the character of discharge, which I took as a hint that this impacted the medals.

PTBH

Forgot to add – the archive tech is senior and one that we work with often. Doesn’t mean they can’t make a mistake but they are used to us following up if something does not look right, and either patiently explains away concerns or provides more information from the records if that information is releasable.

PTBH

There is a story/claim in the press from his/her attorney that the sexual orientation came out and he was ridiculed by his unit… or something. This is next to impossible to substantiate unless being able to speak with someone that knew him back then.

It is both a science and art to read these military records and construct a narrative, but what’s documented is somewhat helpful.

A Proud Infidel®™️

It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Watkins throw the Victim Card®™️ to try and dodge consequences!

Mason

API, are you suggesting that a person enlisting into the peacetime infantry before 9/11 then got deployed to a war zone months later and while in-theater violated the second half of “Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell” to get out of their deployment, responsibilities, and contract?

I’m picturing Corporal Klinger showing up in battle rattle for a patrol from Firebase Anaconda.

A Proud Infidel®™️

During my AD time on Benning I was just another everyday Leg, but our unit was near where 3/75 was at the time, thus we always saw them training or working the hell out of their latest class of RIPs. During those days as well as now I’m sure, it still takes a LOT to get into the Ranger Regiment and just one fuckup to get kicked out, thus I’m betting that he/she/it was a subpar dickstepper!

ChipNASA

I’m going to add new terminology…
(i.e. “Dick stepper” for ladies)
1. Labia Leaper
2. Vagina Tromper
3. Clit Clomper
4. Gash Trampler

Ladies of TAH, in advance, no offence, but with this weird new subculture we have to deal with and if we have to be forced to recognize and identify with this new culture, then the previously identified PC thing that were offensive, now, fairly, should no longer be, therefore, I offer this as an opportunity to recognize those that are women or those that *identify* as women, and have shown substandard and deficient conduct or lack thereof, in their behavior, need an opportunity to be given the credence actions deserve.
SO, as with the HoI, additions are always welcome.
I’m probably (maybe) not keeping track of such…

A Proud Infidel®™️

So is that wannabe chick still have a dick, or had a snip& tuck done?

Ex-PH2

No offense taken. This waste of skin isn’t anything but an “IT”, if that.

rgr769

During a visit to Benning in the late 1980’s, I met a young E-5 buck sgt. who had served in the 3rd battalion. His battalion was training in Texas near the border. The CSM suggested at a formation that no one should cross the border into Mexico. On a weekend leave he and several of his comrades crossed into Mexico. He said it only took about three days for him to be booted and reassigned. He planned not to reenlist because being a Ranger was all he wanted to do.

Mike

“It’s also interesting that Watkins was transferred from Hunter Army Airfield (near Savannah, GA) to the 3/505th, a part of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, 275 miles away (per Google Maps) without any PCS (Permanent Change of Station) showing up.”

It used to be a requirement for certain types of admin discharges (AR 635-200) that a unit transfer was required to see if counselling/rehabilitation was effective. I don’t know if that is still the case.

Transfer issue aside, Watkins could have been discharged under Chapter 10, 13 or 14 and received an other than honorable discharge that would have voided any service awards.

Martinjmpr

This is one of the more unusual situations in which the NPRC records releases raises more questions than it answers.

Nevertheless, I have to say my days of thinking of the “Oath Keepers” as a bunch of losers, wanna-be’s and never-were’s is certainly coming to a middle. 😉

A Proud Infidel®™️

You and me both, I do all I can to distance myself from that group!

MI Ranger

Has it ever stated for public record that it is a Ranger? Could be that it told all of its Oath Keeper fan boys that he had been in the Rangers and so they hung on his every word about training…maybe right up to the point where the Lou Reed song lyrics took over and “he was a she”.

But yeah, as said before Definitely (spelled correctly this time) not Highly Decorated…no NDSM!

E4 Mafia 83-87

I have a Sea Service Ribbon with 1 bronze star (not The Bronze Star) and a Good Conduct Medal. I sure as he’ll don’t consider myself a “decorated” military veteran. Alwyn Cash is what I think about when someone is a decorated veteran. Gimme a break. This guy is at best a putz.

Fjardeson

I Googled Alwyn Cash. Wow. Rescuing soldiers from a burning vehicle… while he was on fire!

Read also he’s staged for an upgrade from Silver Star to MOH. Deserved.

We’ve talked a lot about him around these parts for several years now.

Hack Stone

When Law Enforcement finally pays attention to the remaining members of The Dutch Rudder Gang and Hack Stone is hauled away for crimes (real or imagined), he will be described as “Modestly Decorated, among which is the highly coveted and rarely awarded Precious Metals Recovery Expert Badge”.

rgr769

I have often wondered about the requirements for award of the Precious Metals Recovery Expert Badge. What are the they? Does it involve “gold bricking?” Asking for a badge hunting acquaintance.

RGR 4-78

Brass count at the range came out perfect 5 consecutive times?

rgr769

You mean nowadays one doesn’t just have to say “no brass or ammo, Sergeant.” Someone has to count all the fired cartridge cases? Glad my range officer days ended 40 years ago.

USMC Steve

A bit slow getting out the way, were we?

Remember dude, incoming always has the right of way.

Semper Fi.

OWB

Can we simplify all this with saying that male and female are not earned titles?

We are not born ladies and gentlemen – that is something you must learn and titles that can indeed be earned. But male and female are predetermined by genetics.

Putting on a dress does not make you a lady. Or a female. It’s that pesky Y chromosome (as others point out) that determine whether you am or ain’t.

Typical lefty ploy – confuse the simple. Break what works fine. Pit people against each other. No need for any of it.

Bradly Manning’s BiG SiS?

Nah. Not his sister, but his brother.

Bradley is as delusional as this guy, so no point in reinforcing that delusion.

That his/her only decoration is the Army Service Ribbon is very apropos. Almost like the person outprocessing him knew and left it there on purpose. Sort of like the canteen cup going away present.

The DA form 2-1 is dated JAN 73.
Is this one of those instances where previous versions are
to be used until exhausted?

Let me just say what everyone is thinking:

There is another message here and helped by this article.

The media seems Hell-bent on portraying veterans as hyper-military Ricky Ranger/John Wayne White Supremacist Trump supporters all lumped into one category ready to trigger the insurrection and rebellion that justifies keeping razor wire and armed troops surrounding the capital.

The Oathkeepers do NOT represent the mainstream veteran community and are mostly misfits and wannabes, so I’m somewhat relieved that the pattern is emerging and people can see this for themselves.

It it obvious from their attire, military style uniforms, gear, and helmets, that these Oathkeeper clowns were not merely Trump voters and supporters out to attend a peaceful protest like over 99% of the people that showed up in DC on 1/06/21. They were geared up to fight with someone. The fact that this clown wanted to change genders just after 2.6 years in the Army screams mental illness.

But by all accounts that I have seen, they didn’t get into any dustups, nor were any of them involved in the entrance into the People’s House, that so enraged the social democrats.

Ugly fake woman + stolen valor = shit show.

The big question is did the fine fellows over at oath keepers ever figure out that this was indeed a fake woman and were any negligent discharges involved?

rgr769

I don’t think “Jessica” could even get a negligent discharge out of our beloved IDC SARC.

Question for those in the know: Why does a guy who would rate a four or a five on the attractiveness scale to the opposite sex want to become a fake female who isn’t even a two.

P.S. I think its “boyfriend” is either gay or reads in brail.

Oops. Looks like I committed the faux pas of fat fingering the report button

Thanks to the regime of Gropey Joe and the Ho, we will be getting a great many more Jessica’s with questionable “highly decorated” service, or who have “honorably” served. The big difference will be that we taxpayers will have funded their boob jobs and lopadicktomies. Why spend 20 to 30K of your own money to “transition” if the U.S. military will pay for it? Moreover, it is not like they will ever be deployed anywhere given all the recovery time and medication they will need. Also, think of all the dikes that will want to go full Ellen Page in uniform. I understand that the addadicktome surgery is even more expensive.

Truth be told, s/he/it only need the Army Service Ribbon (ASR) to be a “decorated” veteran… not that such is underwhelming or anything.

tshe

If someone were to have sparkling white cake icing-looking goo all over their face, would that be considered “decorated?”

Badly, but yes… any comments of “glazed doughnut” or “money shot” coming (pardon, no pun intended there) to mind.

What about Tom Cotton? Fake Ranger just like Jessica

Glad I was in the AF where we weren’t so concerned about our genitals.
