The Ron Mailahn saga

by Jonn Lilyea••34

Hondo did the leg work to prove that Ron Mailahn, the youngest Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps, isn’t really. Yeah, he has military service, to some extent; that’s his coconut in the above photo and here’s his FOIA;

11 months on active duty and 8 of those were on an abbreviated 8 month tour of Korea. Discharged after at least nine years in the reserves as an E-2 – which almost a sergeant major, right?

Since the character of his discharge is not considered public information, we can only guess that the “date unknown” means that he quit going to drills and training and the Reserves just scrubbed his nasty ass off of their rosters and sent him a discharge when they got around to it. And it looks to me like he was a derelict while he was in Korea and they cut his tour short by four months to get rid of his pervert ass and then pawned him off on the Reserves, who then pawned him on the NJ Guard, who then pawned him off on the Reserves again.

He told us that he pretended to be a Marine because he was embarrassed to be in the Army. Yeah, well, not as embarrassed as we are that he was in the Army. Trust me.

  2. One question popped up in my mind – how did he get a National Defense ribbon? Looks like his service time skipped around Desert Storm, was post-Vietnam and pre-9/11.

  3. He should have taped those ears to his head before going out on windy days. They seem to have beat the boy senseless !

  4. @2 Desert Storm is the likely answer. You just have to be in….but then again I think he would have had to be in good standing with the Reserves/NG.

  5. Currahee John: per para 2-10.c of AR 600-8-22, members of the Selected Reserve (TPU or IMA) in good standing are authorized the NDSM for both the Desert Storm period (1990-1995) and the current period (2001-present). Active duty service is not required unless one is a member of the IRR; and not all active duty service counts (e.g., short tours solely to fulfill IDT training requirements or to serve on courts/boards/commissions/etc . . . ). This is a change from previous periods of eligibility for the NDSM (Korea and Vietnam), which required service on active duty.

    Since Mailahn has the NDSM, presumably that means at least part of his USAR or ARNG service was rated as being “in good standing”.

  6. And, you guys did not vote for him. I stuck with him to the end. But, all the guys I backed lost and kept up their loser status. Next year!

  7. Once a Marine, always a Marine,

    In his case…once a turd, always a turd. He’s such a loser, he can’t even win a loser’s tournament!?

  8. SJ, I was pulling for him till the end. He should still be in the running for Biggest Douche in the Galaxy.

  10. Hondo: Thank you, didn’t realize that DS qualification went all the way to 1995. I always thought it was interesting that Vietnam ND qualification cut off in 1994, though we still had folks there as late as the end in April 1975.

  14. “He told us that he pretended to be a Marine because he was embarrassed to be in the Army. Yeah, well, not as embarrassed as we are that he was in the Army. Trust me.”

    Who’s the “us” he talked to? Because I’d love to see a transcript of that conversation.

  19. So, am I the only one who saw that photo and immediately thought of Donald Sutherland’s psycho killer character in “The Dirty Dozen?” (Or was Telly Savalas the psycho killer?)

  22. Sutherland was the ediot … Savalas was the rapist!

    Question who was the famous singer? Come on …. we all know it. You either listen to it or you heard your parents playing it!

  25. @ 24 ….

  27. @25- Master Chief, I apologize for offending you with such a controversial response. As far as gender goes, 90% of the handles I see here are not gender specific, including yours.

    BTW, thank you for providing me with my new handle.
