Anthony Gradi; phony Marine

Our partners at Military Phonies sent us their work on this Anthony Gradi fellow who claims to be a Marine;

The Marines responded “Who?”

The National Personnel Records Center, which would hold Gradi’s records based on the time frame he would have served on active duty, could find no records indicating that Gradi served in the Armed Forces. It is possible that he could have served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, but active duty would have shown up if he went to boot camp and certainly any specialized MOS training.

Oddly, the NPRC seemed to point to service in the Merchant Marines, so a request was made to the Department of Homeland Security for Merchant Marine service.

    Merchant Marine? Okay, well, if he was on a supertanker or a container ship, fine, but that ain’t exactly the military.

  2. Claw

    Krispie Kreme Discount level poser.

      Semper Fake is his motto…

      Deal with the Google fame ANTHONY GRADI, aka ANDI

  3. IDC SARC

    Hats with EGAs on top of EGAs….Cocksukker

      BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

    2. The Stranger

      Looks more like Sergeant stripes over EGA. Still a shitbag, though.

      1. IDC SARC

        OK…well that’s true…if you only look at that one picture.

  4. A Proud Infidel®™

    TALK bout a walking bag of unwashed sphincters, Anthony Gradi is a fine example of that!

    You’re SEMPER FAKE, Sparkle Pony!

  5. Combat Historian

    On his Face of the Book, he claimed he “studied at the U.S. Marine Corps”; maybe he meant he attended the Tarawa Terrace Elementary School at Camp Lejeune as a schoolboy…or something…///

    1. IDC SARC

      Maybe a list of MCIs?

    2. OldManchu

      I read a Marine Corps book when I was a teenager.

      “The History of The United States Marine Corps in World War II.”

      Probably doesn’t make me a Devil Dog though.

    3. John Seabee

      Shucks, I went through predeployment training at both Camp Pendleton and Swamp Lagoon plus 2531 school at Montford Point, but I don’t believe that makes me a Marine.

    4. Dave Ross

      Hell I went to El Toro High School..

  6. Green Thumb

    Dude looks high.

    Maybe he smoked some leaf and though he was in the USMC while playing a video game.

    Dude also looks like a chickenhawk.

    1. NHSparky

      Well, he IS from Epping.

      And if you’re from NH, you get the joke.

      1. 26Limabeans

        I’m not, but I have been there many times and I get it.

      2. David

        Maybe if he comes a long way toward town he will merely be in the sticks instead of Epping.

        1. Aggravated Mopery

          If you look at his shirtless photo (insert gay joke) you can see what appears to be the outline of a once worn Fetaynol patch

          As Green thumb stated, he probably is high

  7. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

    Shades of American Chopper. Senior who I forgot his name was in the Merchant Marine before starting his family owned Bike business. Check out the face wearing the cap and shades and he looks just like senior.

      Paul Teutul Sr?

  8. When you comment on the phony, Not a Marine Anthony Gradi, be sure to mention his name. Others need to be able to learn about him and when they check him at gooooogle his name should jump out at them. I left this tidbit in a comment and in a message at his Facebook page, where several others from here have paid him a visit:
    “Anthony Gradi, What in hell makes you dopes want to stand in the blood of better men than you, claiming valor that you didn’t earn. Don’t you saps know that your phoniness shows the world, (by way of Goooooogle), that you are a proven liar, and that anything you say is probably a damned lie? Take a tip from me, instead of blocking me here on Facebook, go to the link below and try to unfuck yourself with a sincere apology. Until you do, every comment made on the post, linked below, will create a new Goooogle entry about your lyin’ ass. Take your time and the comments and gooogle hits will mount up: http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=79418

    Holy fucking balls, what creeped into the SV asshole
    watering system the past few days? Memorial Day “I had a Buddy who/that/was/died/et.al…..” ramping up, I guess.

  10. Mason

    Dude, use sunscreen! That’s how you get skin cancer, kids.

  11. SgtM

    Anthony Gradi did not make it through boot camp, because he did not even go to boot camp. POS.

  12. 26Limabeans

    Is that an “honor” chest?

  13. Deckie

    I was unaware a mariner search brings up such a response. I researched myself and it comes up in a different form.

    Ho hum.

  14. Roger in Republic

    Deckie, That’s the form they use when the have no idea what or who you are talking about. It’s the CG saying “Who”.

  15. FatCircles0311

    What a real shit bag. Rank over the EGA? Somebody take this turd factory to th tree line. Looks like he plays dress up to impress kids. He probably scares them with that snaggletooth instead. You’re not a US Marine. You’re a sad old fart.

    Sgt, Snaggletooth report for duty at stolen valor university.

    1. SgtM

      In the 80’s they had us do this for a short while. I’ve got an old cover someplace with my Sgt chevrons on it.

      1. Marine 0331

        SgtM, Yes, I do recall this. For a short while my unit (Lima 3/8) did it, but then we were told the only markings allowed on the cover was a red tab on the outer band of the cover for engineers I believe. I was in from 1981 to 1985. This would have been around 1983 I believe.

    2. A Proud Infidel®™

      “Looks like he plays dress up to impress kids.”

      Much like a doughnut-guzzling shopping mall rent-a-fuzz trying to impress and intimidate teeny-bopper mall rats with his strut while in uniform.

    As a former Jarhead, Anthony gradi,I have two words for you…..you suck

  17. Patrick408

    Anthony Gradi is “Not a Marine”, but he could eat a pork chop through a screen door with those fangs!
    WTF, does studied at USMC mean?

  18. Jarhead

    Anthony, you piece of shit….here’s my offer to you. I will pay for a tattoo on your chest that says in big letters F M F. Any Marine knows what that means. For you it means Fony Muther fucker

  19. It is not hard to imagine how someone would want to impersonate a veteran, Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine. I know folks like this suffer from EXTREME self-esteem issues and want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Unfortunately, for the phony Marine Anthony Gardi, the only way he can live up to the values and ethics of a warrior is to post on his Facebook an apology for why he feels he must portray a bad-ass. I truly deal with folks like this every day. As a retired Colonel with five combat tours, I have heard people tell me they have the MOH and more and are just simply full of shit. Come on folks, please tell the truth.
