Dan Noyes confronts Greg Allen
The other day, Dan Noyes, our buddy in the San Francisco area who regularly busts phonies on camera out there, watched his son, Gray, take the oath to begin his career in the Marine Corps;
Gray tells me how can he let others fight for our country, if he’s not willing to do the same?
Today, Dan reports on his investigation of Gregory Allen, the fellow we talked about yesterday who had a pretend Marine Corps career at ABC-7;
Allen bristled when Noyes approached him about his service.
Allen: “I’m done talking with you, partner, back up.”
Noyes: “Have you ever been a Marine?”
Allen: “Yes, I have been.”
Noyes: “When?”
Allen: “You’re down here to do a hit piece on this place.”
Noyes: “No, only on you.”
Allen: “And on me.”
Noyes: “Are you ready to admit now that you’ve never been a Marine?”
Allen: “No, I’m not going to admit anything to you because it’s not true.”The I-Team obtained Allen’s service records under the Freedom of Information Act. And they show everything he has said about his military history is a lie. Allen was never in the Marines, never a lieutenant, never served in Vietnam and did not earn those medals.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
Stupidass poser.
I predict a big “Splash. Out.” in his future…
Good report (as always) by Mr. Noyes… probably one of the few reporters that has integrity out there right now.
Love the former Navy Chaplain’s comment “He’s got more problems than an algebra book”!
Greggy-poo, you brought this shitstorm down on you… and it looks like it will end with you wearing some silver bracelets on your wrists.
Dan is OUTSTANDING, the other guy not so much.
Maggot.
After watching that vide I believe the asshole is in the running for the “All-Points Logistics Man of the Year” award.
What a sack of shit.
Wow. Is he stealing the award from the less than honorable LTC.
He is defenitly bringing the competition.
The “less-than-honorable” COL W II was actually in but has no issues with military imposters or supporting them.
This tool, on the other hand, brings an entirely new level of asshatery to the game.
Big time mouth breathing bedwetter.
He just might end up bunk buddies with Jason Scalleta and Deon Korfhage. To be later joined with a one Daniel Bernath.
Ah… the connoisseurs of the cock meat sandwich.
A felon and self-admitted drug addict, most likely receiving unauthorized benefits from the VA. Who’d a thunk it?
If he got the card, then he convinced someone. It’s bullshit that these posers can get benefits for their bullshit, but actual vets without the grand stories are made to jump through hoops like fucking performing dogs.
^ Yeah that
When I’m emperor, the VA will go through the records for everyone collecting benefits. If something is missing or isn’t right, the person collecting will get a letter asking for the documentation. Nothing back from them in 30 days terminates benefits until documentation is provided. The first to be looked at will be anyone claiming POW. I could probably cut the VA budget by 25% just with a cursory look.
^^^This – Bobo has my vote for Emperor. Or at least director of the VA.
Another, stupidly simple process would free up millions: Since the process of sharing service records between the VA and the DOD is SOOO complicated (yes Virginia, that is sarcasm…) hows about we hire three or four dozen veterans to sit in a room and just submit FOIA requests for everyone making a VA claim. Like Bobo said, start with POW claims, and work down from there. How many phonies could they purge from the rolls in the first 30 days? How much money could they save the VA? The mind boggles…
Here he is trolling for $$$ back in 2010

BTW – anyone have connections with the Marine Corps League… middle link shows Greggy-poo with a MCL garrison cap on.
“Gregory Allen, a San Rafael retired Marine Corps lieutenant who is vice president-elect of the Marin County Military Officers Association, said he is determined to give fallen soldiers the credit they deserve. “If a family member (of Roberts) shows up, I have a Purple Heart ready,” he said. ”I will give them one of mine until I can get another one.”

I just threw up in my mouth.
*PTUI*
I know that this is a sore spot for some… did you hear American Legion’s Posts 313 member Jackie Tribolet’s comment about “sticking with Greg”. She is really in denial about Greg’s lies – can’t face the fact that shitstain Greg was caught. Could it be that Greg is/was a member of the legion and duped them out of some cash?
He can change his gym’s name to the “House of Steal”

O-4E wins the internets for today. Contact Jonn for your prize.
This week you win a picture of Dullas in a flag tracksuit suitable for wiping your ass!!!
Congratulations!!!
I wouldn’t put that thing in my cats litter box, let alone wipe my ass with it. I have standards about what I use after dropping a Bernath.
The Veterans Council in Marin County is also experiencing denial about Greggy-poo… I wonder how much money they gave him over the years?
Word.
The MCUVC as a matter of record has never given Greg Allen and/or the House of Steel a penny. As far as I know, Greg Allen belongs to no organization that requires a DD-214 for membership!
After that piece. Those enabling assholes can’t defend him.
Sadly, yes they can. Some people get so invested in a fake’s lies that they defend them after they’ve been proven a liar.
Makes no sense, but we’ve seen it many times.
I wrote an email to that post. The commander wrote back and said that Allen is not a member there, they require DD-214s as a condition of membership.
Doesn’t mean that Allen isn’t a Legion member, just not there.
I love the picture at the top.
He looks like he got caught eyeballing some young meat.
Turd.
I wonder if they have run his sorry ass out of town yet?
I can’t believe Dan Noyes didn’t name his son…White.
😀
Perhaps his daughter is named “Pink”. (smile)
What. A. Total. Shitbag!
I see a piece of shit who decided to case in and bullshit his way by leaching off of a phony vet story to build his business.
There has to be some asshattery going on with his VA claim. If he was the USMC emblem he filed a forged application.
This asshole has me seeing red.
Uniform.

Fallen Marine.
Under the jail with you.
Early candidate for the tourney
Those of us that did that Southeast Asia thing, in most cases, did not talk about it for 40+ years. Now, we have fuckers coming out of the woodwork. Claiming it as there own! To gain credibility. Go figure
With apologies to The Trashmen, and a nod to Green Thumb, this song’s for Gregory Allen, fake Marine:
“A-well-a, everybody’s heard about the turd
Turd, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, the turd is the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, well, the turd is the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, well, the turd is the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, turd, well, the turd is the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word
A-well-a, don’t you know about the turd
Well, everybody knows that the turd is the word
A-well-a, turd, turd, t-turd’s the word”
Word to the turd.
Received a nice email from the Post 313 commander, who said he’s a Vietnam vet and knows what it’s like to be shot at. He trusted Allen (not any more!) and wants to see him get what he deserves.
He also said that Jackie has had a long working relationship (not personal) with Allen on veteran’s support efforts, hence her stalwart support for him. Much to her credit, she’s come around to realizing what Allen really is, and she’s written him off.
Some people are such good con artists that even honest, knowledgeable, level-headed folks can be conned. This appears to be the case here.
Hey, Greggie, do a Google search for your name and the word “Marine.” The stories about you and this blog are the top five links. Congratulations, and stay in touch. I’m sure you’ll be at least a middle- to low-middle seed in the next Stolen Valor tournament.
It looks like he’s “sorry if he hurt anyone” but still directs specific questions to his still absent attorney. Not even a half assed apology.
From The Fake Warrior Group on Facebook: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/05/01/gregory-allen-marin-county-gym-owner-apologizes-claiming-decorated-marine/
I think this may be an example of Stolen Valor that irks me the most. This guy “seems” to have done a lot of good over the years for a lot of folks. Listening to the Marine they interviewed, it sounds like his training regimen is solid, and actually does good for the folks participating.
And guess what? His training regimen would STILL do that amount of good, even if you admitted that you were a medical washout from Navy boot camp! You could STILL help homeless veterans WITHOUT a Purple Heart!
Of course, past experience has shown that SV is only a symptom… now that this rock has been turned over, I will not be surprised to see what else gets uncovered about this guy.
Betting there is a lot of slimy crap once that rock gets flipped over. Saw a post on another forum by a young man that was working out in hopes of getting into the service.
Apparently Greggy used his position as a “trainer” to hit with and get with the guy’s mom. Wondering just how many other moms and females he was hitting on?
In case you missed it…CBS This Morning had a story on him today:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-boot-camp-gregory-allen-allegedly-lied-about-serving-with-marines/
Not even close to the detail that Dan did with his report, but at least it got picked up by a network.

Dan Noyes Updated this Story on FB. Heres a Cut N Paste of what he said.
Ten months after I first exposed him, Greg Allen from Marin’s House of Steel now faces a federal misdemeanor charge for using a phony Purple Heart to raise money. Possible penalty: 1 year in prison, $100,000 fine, 1 year supervised release. The FBI tells me there could be more charges coming.
Allen ran the gym, training young men who wanted to join the Marines, and he often spoke about his service as a Drill Instructor, a Recon Marine, a Sniper — all lies. He wore a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and other medals at public events and fundraisers. He never served in the Marines and did not receive those awards. The affidavit says he and his girlfriend at the time bought the medals online, at sites including Sgt. Grit.
Allen is scheduled to appear in Federal Court next week.
Good news… hope they find more on this turd that can send him away to a federal poundhimintheass prison for a while.
Thanks for the follow-up report. Good to know.
Dan is indeed one of the “good guys” in the press.
Dan, if you’re reading this . . . thanks. Vets everywhere owe you.
KUDOS to Dan Noyes!
