A few weeks ago, we talked about Michael Lamb<\/a>, the founder of Stoic Ventures. Back then, he had admitted finally that he wasn’t a member of any Marine Corps Force Recon units as he had claimed for years for the purpose of enhancing his business image;<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather just come on out and get it out there. There\u2019s nothing more to say about it. I came into the Marines as an intel guy, started working at the NSA, and got some deployments out of it. The deployments were national intelligence teams [three letter agencies, ed]. That\u2019s all true. But I was never Recon. Someone called me out on it, and I copped to it. It\u2019s nothing I didn\u2019t bring to my own doorstep. I could easily have shut it down, and I didn\u2019t. It\u2019s a lie I\u2019ve been living for twenty years.<\/p>\n

This is a soul cleanse for me after looking over my shoulder all this time.<\/p>\n

I apologize to the community, to everyone for misrepresenting myself. I don\u2019t ask or expect forgiveness. I can\u2019t make up for what I did, but I can try to atone for it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, we went ahead and got his records anyway. It seems he was a Mustang LT after almost eight years enlisted, discharged as a Staff Sergeant (E-6). As an enlisted Marine, he served as a Morse Code Intercept Operator and the only deployment (singular) I see is five months with the NSA in Saudi Arabia. But he has the Kosovo (Kosovo Campaign Medal), but I don’t see a deployment to Kosovo. Then he went to Navy ROTC at the University of Arizona for a year, then off to OCS at Quantico and he got commissioned as an Air Defense Officer for almost 4 years – no deployments, no sea service.<\/p>\n

It looks like as an enlisted Marine he did almost three years at Fort Meade, Maryland (NSA central) after more than a year of schooling. Then he did the commissioning thing, became an ADA officer, then decided all of that qualified him to tell people that he was a Raider. Aside from that stint in Saudi Arabia, he managed to miss the whole GWOT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
