Jeremy Charles Russom; Marine clerk poser
Life imitates The Duffel Blog. Meet Jeremy Charles Russom who pretends to be a Marine Corps clerk. Nope, not Force Recon, or even an infantryman, but Jeremy is just happy to be Marine Corps clerk working at an ROTC detachment. But he wasn’t any of those things;
He was an entry level discharge for a personality disorder. From the Navy. I thought that a personality disorder was mandatory for everyone in the Navy.
Scotty has more on his low-grade fakery.

Finally, the non-SF/SEAL/ninja/sniper poser!
What is the world coming to when posers can’t even be fake clerks anymore?
Hell has frozen over, and pigs are transiting the airspace.
Somebody finally posed as something other than a SecretReconSEALSquirrelDeltaCommando.
Wow. He deserves acknowledgment for his originality.
Posed as an admin clerk at OCS doing travel claims. Definately low-speed. But its a good thing. It should serve as a warning to posers that if little terds like this can be caught the more outlandish claims will be a slam dunk.
Wonder how he got outed
I have been bitching for years that I’ve never met or heard of the poser that was a supply clerk or admin clerk. Booyah!!! That just happened!!! I’ll log off now; nothing else on the internet today will top this.
A fake clerk??! The Millenium is at hand . . . Repent!
Way to low ball it.
This guy doesn’t even have the self esteem to be CIA, Space Shuttle Door Gunner, FBI, Ninja.
He sucks at faking!!
How bad is THAT?!?!
Turd.
SWEET BEJEEZUS!!!
Finally, an impostor CLERK!!!!
Buy this man a beer, ha ha
Come on Jeremy, go big or go home.
That’s his “other” DD214, allowed to be released under FOIA. The real one was sealed by the NSA/CIA and requires Yellow Badge TS/Needs-to-Know clearance.
What is this – trying to fly low ‘n slow to avoid detection? “Who the f*** would pretend to be a clerk – he MUST be legit?” Props for originality, minus serious points for lack of aspiration.
Wow just Wow! Pack your bags this has to be the Seventh Sign!
@6: Some real Marine must have asked him what Battalion he graduated from and he said 4th.
“I thought that a personality disorder was mandatory for everyone in the Navy.”
True, just not THAT kind of a personality disorder.
I laughed my ass off when I saw that 214.
Son of a biatch… someone finally posed as a POG. he should go far in the next Tourney.. LMAO!!!
Just when you’ve think you’ve seen it all. And to top it off, I bet he doesn’t have a tattoo!
Hell, and apparently the rest of the country, has just frozen over. And three whole weeks in boot? Outstanding.
BTW, is there any program in the Navy where you can enlist with a guaranteed E-3? The only Marines I’ve seen who made LCpl out of boot were sqd leader/guide types who were guaranteed PFC and got meritorious promoted.
“I thought that a personality disorder was mandatory for everyone in the Navy.” LOL, says the zoomie.
The fakes need fake supply and fake logistics ratings to keep those high speed fakes at the tip of the fake spear, you guys. Someone has to be in the rear with the fake gear.
@21: nuke school. Go in as E3, come out of A school as E4 with time in rate, start testing E5 during power school. You’re testing E5 with about 6 months service. (No one gets that promotion though, as fleet guys have the PNA points and knowledge on their side).
I’m waiting for the day when we bust a phony posing as a combat historian, but I may have to wait for a long long time…
Welp? that’d be a wrap! Guess there is a first time for everything.
@16 FatCircles – how ’bout a spew warning before posting stuff like that? I almost billed you for a keyboard. Right on target!
Re: the first photo on Scotty’s page of this scum-sucking low-life turd…WTF is he trying to do with that weapon? Is that some sort of new drill movement? Parade left semi-shoulder arms? What’s the PCWB for that?
@23 – HM was also another rate where you came in as an E-3 and made E-4 on graduating “A” school. There were a few that fell into the same group under the ATF (Advanced Technical Field) program.
22 days service… the umbilical cord must not have stretched long enough from NJ to RTC for little buttercup to make it.
Was he actually claiming to be a Marine, or that he worked for the USMC? There is a bit of a difference. We had civilian clerks in Recruiting who would have written a similar job description….
HMCS(FMF): I think it was the January cold in Chicago that “convinced” him he’d made a mistake. (smile)
What?!?!?!?!? A SECOND Navy guy faking being a low-level something or other, but NOT a SEAL?
Holy torpedoes, Batman!!! I never thought I’d see the day.
Two, count ’em, two in two months! Wow. I am duly impressed.
“I thought that a personality disorder was mandatory for everyone in the Navy.”
Not mandatory, but highly encouraged. First, of course, one must actually have a personality. 😉
Thanks Teddy and HM. I thought about that after I posted, that he had qualified and signed up for some MOS that had a pretty intense and lengthly qual school. Don’t think the MC has anything quite like that. E2 for sure, but not E3. I imagine they come with a 6yr active duty commitment as well.
BTW, I didn’t know the HM designator had so many sub categories. Some of them are a pretty doggone tough achievment to unlock, like 8427 FMF Recon Corpsman. How long would it take to fulfill all those required schools?
Maybe feigning clerkitude was a gateway to some kind of civilian employment. Is this really stolen valor? I mean, I worked in an S3 shop once even as an 11B, but when I wasn’t driving the S3 or his smaj, I did the 71 series guy’s job because he was useless. I can’t quite say I valored the crap out of Gold Cycle FRAGOs.
It’s more like “stolen mundane, but valued service”
These guys continue to make my less-than-stellar career look better and better.
O/T: Huzzah! My comments are getting through the spam barrier, again!!
@21, I went in Army as an E-3 because of being an Eagle Scout. One of my friends was guaranteed E-4 because of a Master’s Degree. Another friend who should be arriving at MCRD Parris Island this evening was given a contract guaranteeing E-2 for a Bachelor’s with something about advanced placement of E-3 because she signed into band and passed the audition with high scores.
It’s not unheard of to have more than buddy-f*cker rank going in (which I believe caps at E-2 for two more souls).
Thanks a lot FatCircles I’m still choking up coffee!
Damnit, this one hits a bit close to home. I had to *EARN* my non-VFW-eligible service. …Slogging through countless cube farms and waxing literally dozens of square feet of flooring. Some days we weren’t even sure if we’d make it home to our video games, wives, and adjustable air matresses…on time…
Rb325th is right.
Sorry guys as funny as this may seem, he didn’t claim any specific military service and chances are he really worked as acivilian clerk for the USMC.
For the stupid picture with the rifle – cut him some slack, he has got the right passport to do so 😉
I bet he claimed to have the fastest, most badassed Combat Typewriter in the USMC!!
After all of this fucking Church bullshit
I had to get this little breath of fresh air back on top for a minute
