Kevin McGrath; Beirut phony

| March 10, 2018

Our partners at Military Phonies share their work on Kevin Michael McGrath. Mr McGrath claims on his résumé that he was an embassy guard and a sergeant of Marines as well as being in Beirut with the 3/8th Marines in Beirut, Lebanon;

Not according to the Navy, though;

Mr McGrath joined the Marines on April 9,1980. He was sent to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island South Carolina (MCRDPISC) where he was assigned to the 1st Recruit Training Battalion on April 23, 1980.

After Graduation from Boot Camp in July of 1980, Mr McGrath was transferred to Pensacola Fl where he was assigned as a student for training to become a Cryptologic Digital Network Technician Analyst. MOS — 2611. Due to Academic reasons ( flunking out), Mr McGrath was transferred to Headquarters Service Company, Marine Corps Detachment, Quantico VA for the MOS training of 4621 Audio/Visual Equipment Operator. Upon completion of this training, he was transferred to Headquarters Servi-ce Company, Marine Barracks, Washington DC with the MOS’s of 0151 Administrative Clerk and 4621 Audio/Visual Equipment Operator.

The National Personnel Records Center did not find a record showing that Kevin Michael McGrath held the MOS’s of 0311 or 8152. They also didn’t find any evidence of Mr McGrath being assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines. Mr McGrath’s chronological record does not show that he ever deployed off of the Continental United States. He was discharged from active duty with the Marine Corps on May 2, 1984 as a L/Cpl (E-3).

He has that highly elusive Combat Action Medal with the bronze thingy on it. The only one ever awarded. What a turd.

Mick

“Combat Action Medal with bronze battle star”

Yup. Totally legit.

Poser assclown.

Scotty

There are very few Marines who earned two CAR’s during this time frame. He would have had to deploy to Grenada and Beirut and been involved with hostile engagements with the enemy in order to earn two CAR’s. I don’t know of anyone who earned two CAR’s plus a HSM during the time frame that McGrath served on active duty.

Scotty

Still trying to figure out what a bronze battle star is though.

Daisy Cutter

It’s the third level in Call of Duty.

SgtM

He is not claiming CAR’s. He is claiming a medal. I think it is a Bud Light bottle cap on a red string. The star is something he got in 3rd grade for not eating his paste that day.

Just An Old Dog

Scotty,
The Doofus fails to realize that the CAR is a personal award and rates a large gold star, vice the small bronze one for subsequent awards.
It does get confusing I imagine. You would think that a Good Conduct medal would be considered a personal award as far as stars go, but it isn’t, and the same with the sea service deployment ribbon.
Anyway thing guy is a fucking ass-grub.

Keepin' It Real

He was sheep-dipped by the CIA. All of the UA-AWOL entries and discharged as a LCpl was just to throw everyone off the scent.

Mason

But he has the goatee and the cold-blooded, shit eating grin of a BTDT warrior.

It looks like a spooge strainer/ballsack tickler and a meat gazer’s grin to me, FUCK that lying pisspants candyassed bucket of gayballs!!

Mick

And then there’s this additional gem from his resume linked above:

“Security Officer

Central Intelligence Agency – Falls Church, VA
May 1985 to February 1992

Responsibilities
Force and principal protection, operational support, clandestine service

Accomplishments
Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented, PPD Clearances”

OK; sure thing. Why not.

His resume goes on to say that after his time as “Secret Agent Man”, our hero went on to manage a couple of nightclubs in Manhattan. Yup; sounds like a normal career progression for someone in the CIA’s “clandestine service”.

Is there a way to put in a FOIA with the CIA?

26Limabeans

“went on to manage a couple of nightclubs in Manhattan”

Probably the same clubs where the CIA recruits bad ass operators that occasionally show up here.

A Proud Infidel®™

“went on to manage a couple of nightclubs in Manhattan”

Maybe THAT’s how he decided to write up his time as a Towel Boy at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance In Rear) when he wasn’t waiting tables at The Blue Oyster?

UpNorth

I wonder, was one of those clubs the Blue Oyster?

The “Gentle-mans” club down the street from my house was called, no shit, ==The White Swallow==….

ShadowWarriorsMonkey

I noticed all the Super Secret Squirrel BS, as well. I guess he was the only one who wasn’t required to sign the non disclosure… I’m sure the the ‘agency” will get right on that FOIA request…

Tom Huxton

4 years as an E3. Sorry, recruit; that’s all you can be.

A Proud Infidel®™

A stellar nutsack-sniffer for sure.

Another phony Marine steps up. Come on Army, pick up the pace!

26Limabeans

When I saw the 26xx mos I thought at last a phony Army signal guy but then realized he was Marines. C’mon Army, get with it.

sj

School trained Vu Graph machine operator is nearly the same as being a secret squrill isn’t it?

HMCS(FMF) ret

Hey KEVIN MCGRATH!

HOW YOU DOIN’ COCKSUCKER!

You’re GOOGLE FAMOUS now, EX-MARINE!

Gat Cat

OMFG! He thought he could get away with lying, didn’t he? Or maybe he just didn’t think people would verify? Who can say! All I know is that he wont be grinning when he reads this! WELCOME TO THE TAH HALL OF LAME AND SHAME PAL! ENJOY BEING HERE FOREVER!! LMAO!

Ex-PH2

Four years and yet, he could not find his way through the contorted paths of the marine to achieve an unheard of high level of rank for one so young.

Well, he tried, didn’t he? He was perhaps too short – din’t measure up.

Hey, it’s getting near to April Foo’s Day. I have to have something.

Sparks

Queef.

Jerry M

Sad that an uber-pogue: 0151 admin (and combat slide projector operator) doesn’t even know basic military awards. That combat action medal with bronze star is an instantaneous giveaway.

A Proud Infidel®™

He was a holder of the coveted PSs, Permanent Sham Status!

Hayabusa

He may have lied about his Marine service, but I’m sure he’s telling the truth about being a secret spook with the CIA, right? Right?

“Audio/Visual Equipment Operator”

Remember the dweeb in high school that brought the Bell and Howell projector to the classroom?

Daisy Cutter

They had the prestige equal to that of the guys that had access to the bolt cutters when someone forgot the combination to their hall locker.

Hack Stone

He is probably the kid they sent back to the supply closet to get an extension cord for the film strip projected.

Hack Stone

Film strip projector.

Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.

26Limabeans

Or a new bulb.

Berliner

I’m surprised he does not have a Purple Heart and service connected disability from injuries staring into the light on that overhead projector.

A Proud Infidel®™

Maybe he’s claiming PPSD, Post Projector Stress Disorder?

Mason

Someone had to flip the cassette tape when it said “turn tape over to continue.”

The world needs ditch diggers. Kevin McGrath is however woefully unqualified to dig a ditch.

A Proud Infidel®™

The projector dweebs were usually the ones getting swirlied by the Jocks.

Wilted Willy

Hey Come on, 26, I used to be that dweeb that ran the projector, the most fun I had was getting to show the girls senior class the video on self examination for breast cancer. It was a blast watching all the girls feel up their tits then turn around and see the grin on my face. I used to have a sign that read, “Free Breast Exams, Please sit here” And I had that around my neck! I got lots of titty that way!!!

MrGrumpy1964

I believe he received the coveted COP (combat overhead projector) with tangled microphone cord cluster.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

26Limabeans; cut some slack. I work the spotlight for our 4 shows we have at our clubhouse plus I’m the A/V guy when we put on our drama club shows. And I don’t wear a pocket protector on my shirt.

DocV

Hey! I resemble that remark! I was one of those dweebs!

Your Creepy Uncle

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Shack!

AMIRIGHT?

Roger in Republic

“Terminal Lance”(admin/support). Man, talk about in the rear with the beer.

2/17 Air Cav

My favorite claim of his that Yankee White Category 1 Clearance. That is the highest clearance at the White House. As I understand it, an E2 with a history of going AWOL is exactly what the White House security was looking for back then.

sbalm

Yeah, Yankee White Cat 1 is the highest you can go.

If you are Cat 2, it means you can only be the ballwasher when the POTUS is out on the golf course.

im late to the party……kevin mcgarth YOU SUCK

rgr769

With that meat gazer grin and taint tickler, I think it is highly likely he does a lot of sucking of you know what.

Daisy Cutter

Annnnnnd… his Facebook page is gone now.

It’s like torpedoing a ship. It doesn’t go down right away. They scramble on the deck trying to save it, then after a few hours and trying to get rid of oncoming water with buckets, the bleakness of the situation sets in… and they scuttle the Facebook page.

Skippy

Total SICK-ASS

NHSparky

This guy sucked at his job so bad, his DVD player still flashes 12:00.

Daisy Cutter

I so wish there was a “Like” button on this blog.

Frankie Cee

In true poser form, Kevin Michael McGrath, has closed his facebook page. He will now have to go to gooooooooooooooooooooooooogel to see how famous he is.

You mean Kevin Michael McGrath who flunked out of his first choice of MOS?
the same Kevin Michael McGrath who finished his one and only enlistment as an E3?
The same Kevin Michael McGrath who falsely claimed to be a Beirut marine?
The same Kevin Michael McGrath who threaded film projectors for the USMC?
Kevin Michael McGrath who LIED about being a USMC Embassy Guard?
Kevin Michael McGrath who lied about being a Sergeant but ETS’ed as an E3?

Mike Kozlowski

…It still never ceases to amaze me: people who should KNOW how easily their online lies (and many of their IRT ones, too) can be checked and debunked, yet they all seem to think that THEY will be the ones who somehow get away with it….

ALVO

Bloviates will Bloviate….

REMF

An E-3 projector commando who lies about Beirut service, claims medals he never earned, and falsely claims to be a Marine NCO, a Sergeant of Marines, no less. Maggots in a pile of dog shit command more respect than you ever will. YOU ARE GARBAGE McGrath.

Graybeard

And I’m sitting here going “What the heck? Two Beirut phonies in a week?”

API, API, API, I COPY:

(((OVER)))

USMCMSgt (Ret)

3d Battalion, 8th Marines with the 22nd MAU, huh? Why not the 24th MAU, the one that was actually there?

Combat Action Ribbon with bronze star device. Nice touch.

I’d like to ask him what company he belonged to with 3/8. According to the Marine Corps, there was only 1 unit from 3/8 that was assigned to 1/8 under the 24th MAU in Beirut in October 1983.

USAF RET

What a dick. I blame the internetywebbythingie.

E4 Mafia For Life.

So he was an Audio/Video technician in 1980.
That was waaaaaayyyyyyy before PowerPoint.
I guess he plugged in CRT’s and changed out the vacuum tubes.
