Ronnie Lee Yocum aka Ron Norris; phony Vietnam veteran

| March 23, 2018

Someone sent us their work on this Ron Norris fellow who claims to be a Vietnam veteran of the Marine Corps variety.

Of course, there’s a motorcycle and a vest involved;

Here he is quoted in the Muskogee Phoenix;

Ron Norris remembers being under Viet Cong artillery fire for 72 days in 1968 at Khe Sanh in Vietnam. He was in force reconnaissance with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines.

This week, Norris came to the Muskogee War Memorial Park to see “The Wall That Heals” is a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Seeing the Vietnam moving wall means a lot, Norris said.

“We’re bringing something to the people who didn’t know anything that happened from 1968 on,” Norris said.

Well, he’s much more proud of his service now than when he was in uniform. He was a Marine during the Vietnam War, for about nine months, more than two of which he spent as a deserter; he took leave in July and didn’t come back until September.

He spent the last three months of service in confinement and awaiting his discharge – no Vietnam service, no combat action, no Purple Heart.

He’s kiddie toucher, too;

FFS…..a Marine poser. That’s the first one in a while, right? Love the belt buckle in the dress C photo asshole.

Guard Bum

No tie clasp too.

radar

Yeah, the lack of a tie clasp is the first thing I noticed, too.

rgr769

He lost his tie clasp when he was in the brig, or maybe when he was fighting the hated Cong in the Viet of the Nam in the palaces of his weak mind.

hands in the pocket, a Sergeant, in a dress uniform ? BLASPHEMY ! I SAY BLASPHEMY ! A real sergeant would chew your ass out and upside down if they caught you with your hands in your pockets while in a dress uniform and no Sgt would ever be caught doing such a discretion of the dress code in a dress uniform, hands in pocket allowed only while wearing fatigues on the flight line/field in my world back in the day.

sgt. vaarkman 27-48th TFW

He should’ve said his MOS was that of an MP turnkey, he had enough time to observe the job to “OJT” at it.
What a dic head loser.

Mark Lauer

You beat me to it. Being a kiddie toucher is bad enough, but hands in the pockets while in uniform will get you a special place in Marine Corps HELL!!

1610desig

No shoes…hands in pockets….and looks like that Xmas tree has the only legitimate ornaments, but then again, it is probably fake as well

I hope someone uses this kiddie fiddling paedo as a reactive Fig.11.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

I’ve been on here for a while and over that time I’ve seen a lot of jokes about motorcycle vests and posers. What’s up with that? For example. We just had the wreaths for warriors walk event in Fort Stewart this last Dec. we had a lot of Veterans organizations there like the Legion Riders, PGR, and Combat Veterans MC. Now I’m not a biker but I thought their outfits looked pretty cool. I don’t own a vest but I got a flight jacket with patches I pull out from time to time. I don’t think the vests look trashy or that these vets are posers. I think if that’s how a biker club chooses to show pride that’s cool. Guess I’m not as anti vest , doo rag and service dogs as some. I’m not trolling. I’m asking if I’m missing something. Thanks.

QMC

I’ve got two cruise jackets that I wear every once in a while as well. Of course, there’s no Navy SEAL patches that accompany both ship’s insignias and the multitude of country flag patches from port visits.

I guess the big thing is that from many of the busted posers here that are affiliated with many of the biker groups and whatnot, have a plethora of odd looking materials decorating their vests (Ranger, Recon, SEALs, Green Beret, etc.). More often than not, if something looks off and not right, it usually is. Take a look at this guy’s photos as an example.

Non Cedo Ferio

I looked a t the photo and I see what your saying. Thanks for explaining it to me. I get behind the power curve at times with with certain things going on in the vet community and here at TAH. I had to go to the Urban dictionary to find out what sock puppet meant. Lol. I wonder what makes MC clubs so attractive to posers?

Claw

The ability to blend in without being questioned factor.

Posers of a feather stick together kind of thing.

So easy even Rat-Shit Deserters can do it.

Non Cedo Ferio

Maybe they need to step up their game and demand concrete proof of service. After all it’s their reputation on the line and some of these posers actually rise to positions of leadership. In these organizations. Though not a biker , look how far Sonny Cool got up the food chain before he was outed. Just sayin

Hondo

I wouldn’t recommend holding your breath. Look through the TAH archives to see how many DAV, American Legion, VFW, and other VSO officers ended up being exposed as fakes.

Money talks. And most such organizations love those monthly or annual membership dues.

Non Cedo Ferio

It’s sad it’s like that

radar

It’s long been a sore subject around here. Many of us were/are members of VSOs and it’s particularly revolting to us that our organizations would condone such fakery for nothing but greed.

rgr769

Many of the POSers also step up in those vet orgs and end up in leadership positions so that they have an audience when they are playing “lookit me, I am a war hero.”

Not Ron

The Patriot Guard in Oklahoma were notified, but the initial contact was defensive and hostile about the claims against their boy. I doubt anything happens internally, but who knows. Maybe someone there will have enough integrity to do the right thing.

rgr769

This shit is why I rethought joining the PG. I am sure 90% of the vet members are the real deal, but I might be tempted to punch out the POSer ten percenters.

A Proud Infidel®™

I talked to a PG Member at my AL Post who told me of when a prospective member rode up wearing a SEAL Trident and as soon as it was discovered it was bogus said wannabe was relieved of the possession of it by the other Riders just before he was gracefully told where he could go and not come back AND word about him quickly got out to other PGR Chapters in the area.

AW1Ed

Don’t feel too bad- I had to look up “Dutch Rudder” and unfortunately I found it.

Ewwwww…

NHSparky

Then you’re really gonna hate looking up, “blue waffle”.

AW1Ed

Yeah, no. I’ve been warned. That which has been seen cannot be unseen.

*grin*

rgr769

Don’t look up “dirty sanchez.” I made the mistake of looking that up in the Urban Dictionary.

I believe it goes back to a string of posers we had on here a year or two back who claimed the patches on their motorcycle vests were to “honor” those who had really earned them. The poser(s) and associate sockpuppets made a big deal out of it, and so the meme of doo-rags, vests, motorcycles and dogs became associated with posers.

Although not all those who wear the vests and ride the motorcycles and have dogs are posers, a lot of posers have the vest, bike and dog.

RGR 4-78

It is not a Bilker Vest, unless the wearer is a lying sack of shite, wearing bling they have not earned.

Stoutguy

I think the context it is used in has to do with the fact some of these guys say someone misunderstands them and their service. But the misunderstandings carry no value and they are truly posing by wearing something they didn’t earn.

The Stranger

We’re not anti-vest, dog, or do-rag. We’re anti poser wearing vest and do-rag scamming service dogs from deserving veterans. It’s just that these clowns always seem to dress the same, almost like they have a checklist.

rgr769

Yes, many of us have all that stuff, but don’t run around claiming daring do we didn’t do. Although, most don’t likely have a fake “service” dog, I would hope.

This POS covered all the bases. What a despicable hunk of sludge. Congrats, Ronnie Lee Yocum. You now have the fame you desired, although I’m taking a shot and guessing this is not the way you wanted it.

Oh. I thought he was in a Tidewater jail.

At least he was safe in the Tidewater jail. Jackass flew his plane into the ground about two days after being released.

Naw, I bet his ol’ lady has his ashes in a cardboard box in the garage.

Nope. Set a speed and altitude record for light sport aircraft–from 0 mph at 8000 feet to 362 mph at 0 feet.

Ret_25X

speaking of bernasty, any updates on how he managed to transform from pilot to dirt dart?

rgr769

I am hoping it was a case of dog, duct tape, and light sport aircraft; some assembly ocurred.

deceleration trauma??

Tied the record for low-altitude flight.

rgr769

Statistically, his takeoffs don’t equal his safe landings. Would love to see his logbook entries.

Another one associated with the Traveling Wall. Not good.

Green Thumb

Yeah.

I wonder if he knows that other loser from Alabama that drove the “Wall” truck around.

I met that clown at the display of it at the Broken Spoke in Sturgis one year. He really played the part.

Wonder if he’s related to this guy?

That is a lot of money to shell out to support rocking a lie like that. It must just burn into his soul that he was found wanting as a man back in the day.

Not just back. Present and future included.

Could he be the son of pipe smoking Mammy Yokum who hung out with L’il Abner.?

Ronnie Yokum is a turd. He is wearing rank and a hashmark he did not earn. He likes little kids in a sick way. Deserter, pedophile, valor thief and a liar. Nice life you made for yourself Ronnie Yokum.

rgr769

I was leading a rifle company in the Viet of the Nam most of the time this asswipe was in the Corps. I’d like to rip off those stripes and that ribbon rack and make him eat them.

Joseph Williams

Ronnie Yokum is wearing my Dress Blues Blouse. I earned mine he did not come anyway close to honorably wear. A Deserter and Pedophile is not a Marine. Joe

2/17 Air Cav

Weasel Yokum strikes me as the type who would call Jonn and beg that the post be removed not for his own sake, you understand, but for the sake of his family. Weasel would then relate, while choking back crocodile tears that his poor wife, children, grandchildren, (fill in the blank with an innocent) don’t deserve this. We’ll see.

Graybeard

We haven’t had a good sockpuppet chewtoy in a while. Maybe….

NHSparky

You mean like the shitbag kiddy toucher that just got sentenced to 35 years in the slam?

Not Ron

That honestly sounds just like him. Professional Conman. I’m sure he’ll find a way to convince his wife that this is all just lies and that his real records are sealed up due to being Top Secret.

Mick

Oh. Hell. No.

Assclown.

Skyjumper

I’ll never understand these wannabee’s.

By looking at their social media postings & pictures, many of them seem to have had held good paying jobs, own nice houses, have expensive cars/boats/motor cycles, very attractive wives, etc. Seems like they have the world by the ass, but yet they pullout & show-off their phony unearned military patches, rank, medals, badges and embellish their military history (if they even have one) to empress the people they surround themselves with. I truly don’t understand their mindset, and probably never will.

And, the last two days we have had two phonies that belong to the Patriot Guard(Donald Kimball & this clown Ronnie Lee Yocum aka Ron Norris). You would think that the minimum that the Guard could do is vet these people properly.

Right now, I’m in the process of composing a couple of letters to be sent to the Patriot Guard National Headquarters & these dicks local chapters with links to TAH and ask them what the hell gives. I’m noy holding my breath for any responses, but if I do get any, I’ll will post them here.

These people truly piss me off!

On an aside note, when a FOIA is sent in on someone, do they just send out a copy of a DD214 or do they also search for any DD215’s for that person?

Oh yeah, Fick Dich Ronnie Lee Yocum aka Ron Norris!!

Hondo

The answer is – that depends. (smile)

In general, you don’t get a DD214. What the NPRC clerk appears to do is go through the file and summarize the service on a National Archives form (NA form 13164). On those occasions when you do get a DD214, it’s heavily redacted – much of the info on a DD214 is not releasable without the individual’s consent. Two of those non-releasable items are nature of discharge (e.g., entry-level, honorable, general/hon, general/OTH, bad conduct, or dishonorable) and the reason for discharge. Yeah, I’m kinda scratching my head over why the type of discharge is non-releasable too.

In contrast, redacted records of assignments and ERBs/ORBs are often provided.

DD215s, as they were a correction to a previously-issued DD214, should be in the file and should thus be included in any records review. However, some clerks apper to do that better than others. I’d guess DD215s are sometimes present but are overlooked.

E4 Mafia For Life.

I sent away for an official copy of my records from NPRC several years ago.
What I got back looked like something that fell behind a filing cabinet at a construction site office trailer in the 70’s then used as a page marker in a Sears catalog in the lingerie section.
They didn’t include my 215’s or anything like orders, training, etc.
I keep my original ones – scribed on leather – in my safe.

No way!!! Oh, wait. I thought it said “Chuck” Norris…..continue pummeling this shirt-lifter

Nothing says “I’m a Marine” quite like a picture of your hands in your pockets while in uniform.

He could have the MoH and burning in hell wouldn’t be punishment enough.

Fuck him.

Ret_25X

This guy brings up another observation I don’t get…how many of you guys dress up in old uniforms and take pictures of yourself?

I don’t get it…I didn’t like most of the dress uniform permutations before I retired…I can’t even imagine the reason I would wear one now just to take a picture for facebook…

Heck, I didn’t even like the occasional ceremonial events when I had to wear it…one of the reasons I decided to exit the vehicle so to speak…LOL

Patrick408

I do give him credit for E-5 in 9 months (lol) but I’m surprised he’s not wearing a couple Navy Crosses or at least a Silver Star. Love the comments on his uniform fuck ups like his belt, tie clasp and bare feet ect.
It reminds me going through a uniform inspection in my Alphas and I had to borrow my bigger buddies jacket so i had to blouse it in the back with my belt and the Navy officer said my uniform looked great, not knowing i was totally out of spec.
Semper Fi and Fuck You Mr. Yokum you don’t deserve to wear shit!

Annnnnnnnnd Ronnie Lee Yocum’s (aka Ron Norris, aka as a convicted pedophile, aka as a phony Purple Heart recipient, aka as a fake Marine MARSOC, aka as a fake Viet Of The Nam vet, aka as…. the list keeps going on and on and on) Facebook page is shut down.

Imagine my surprised face! /s

Just An Old Dog

Fucking being a pedo explains why he tried to hide his name.
Small correction. He didn’t do any brig time.
He was in the “casual unit” of the Infantry Training Regiment which was was often the place where they would send shitbags that were UA/ Deserters they just wanted to ad-sep.
Looking at his record he got injured when training at ITR and was on med hold, then allowed to go on leave.
He went AWOL, then deserter than more than likely turned himself in. Once in they put him on shit detail and processed him out administratively with a General Discharge.

Can anyone make out the ribbon bar??? I know I need glasses now, but is the top ribbon he claims a Silver Star??

Claw

No Silver Star. Top ribbons are the Purple Heartx2 and Combat Action Ribbonx2.

Claw

The remainder of what he is claiming (as near as my eyes can tell) are:

Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal
Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal
National Defense Service Medal x 2
Vietnam Service Medal w/three Campaign Stars
Vietnam Campaign Medal w/60 Device
Drill Instructors Ribbon

But what I find most ironic is that this Dumb Ass was exposed as a complete phony and kiddie toucher on his frigging birthday./smile
