Someone sent their work on this Nathon Gomez fellow. He claims to be a medically retired Marine Master Sergeant, and, of course, he claims he was wounded in combat in Iraq when he was a scout sniper in 2004, and then he was blown up by an IED in 2007 according to the folks at Rebuilding Warriors<\/a> who he cheated out of a service dog. <\/p>\n

The truth, though, is somewhat different.<\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

He was never in the Marines, he was a Navy Fleet Marine Force corpsman with a sniper platoon. The only deployment he had with them was to Okinawa in 2001. Then he went to work in a clinic at Edson Range Medical Clinic as a corpsman. All of the pictures of him with sniper rifles and stuff were taken in Okinawa. Neither Urban Sniper nor Scout Sniper School at Camp Pendleton have records of him attending their courses. According to the National Personnel Records Center, he was discharged as an HM3 (an E-4) after eight years of service.<\/p>\n

It turns out that he has a bit of a history of pretending to be things that he’s not, according to this article<\/a> where he was arrested in California for being a felon in possession of a firearm and a bunch of other stuff and it looks like he was trying to impersonate law enforcement, or a CIA agent or something. The article also says that he spent time in jail in 2009 for fleeing an officer and reckless driving. You know, when he claims he was deployed. <\/p>\n
