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

20-year-old Herschel Reynolds was booted from the Marine Corps in January. Earlier this week, he led the Los Angeles Police Department on a wild ride through the streets of that city. The LA Times<\/a> credits his military driver training for his middle-of-the-street doughnuts, fishtails and high speed near-misses of other vehicles;<\/p>\n

It now appears the 20-year-old can thank the U.S. Marine Corps for helping him hone some of his driving abilities.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon confirmed Friday that Reynolds was a trained tactical driver for the Marines before being \u201cprematurely discharged\u201d in January. The U.S. military said Reynolds had served as a motor vehicle operator for the 1st Marine Logistics Group at Camp Pendleton. Reynolds served with the Marines for nearly two years as a private, according to military records.<\/p>\n

\u201cReynold\u2019s premature discharge and rank are indicative of the fact that the character of his service was incongruent with Marine Corps\u2019 expectations and standards,\u201d the Pentagon said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not aware of any units in the 1st Logistics Group that have Mustang convertibles, but they do drive these sporty models;<\/p>\n

They’re not real good for middle-of-the-street doughnuts, though. Maybe the Times wants to credit the Marine Corps for the fact that Reynolds is a burglar, too.<\/p>\n

DMV records show that Reynolds has had his driver\u2019s license suspended twice and had three speeding tickets from 2013 to 2015. His criminal record shows he was charged with reckless driving last year, but the charges were later dismissed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds to me like the local justice system has more to do with Herschel being on the streets than the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n
