The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Roosevelt Dwayne Rodgers, who claims he was recently released from the U.S. Marine Corps in November 2018 after a career spanning 34 years.<\/p>\n

In a four-page\u00a0resume, one posted to one of several of his LinkedIn accounts<\/a>, he claims that he was in the Marine Corps for 34 years, was awarded a Bronze Star Medal, two (2) Purple Hearts and a Combat Action Ribbon.<\/p>\n

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

We suspect this was an earlier resume because on another he labels a “DD-216” but internally calls it a “DD-215” Rodgers claims he was awarded two (2) Bronze Stars, three (3) Purple Hearts and a Combat Action Ribbon\u00a0(CAR) – so he picked up another Bronze Star Medal and another Purple Heart somewhere along the way.\u00a0 Or, they slipped his memory on the first resume.<\/p>\n

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

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

For those of you unfamiliar with a DD-215, it is a document to add additional\u00a0entries on an individual’s DD-214.\u00a0 For those of you unfamiliar with a DD-216, which we were not, it was either a typo on the SgtMaj’s part or we have speculated that it is also used for additional entries that cannot fit on a DD-214\/DD-215.\u00a0 When a Marine has a career spanning 34 years, there is a lot to try to jam into those pesky one-page forms.<\/p>\n

He also has Intel,\u00a0Parachutist and Combat Diver, because… well, why not?<\/p>\n

Rodgers career as listed on his resume, if accurate, reads like one of those books that the recruiter pulls out to offer all the MOS’s that one can be should they be interested in the Marine Corps.\u00a0 A Sergeant Major of Marines with this kind of resume had to be legendary.<\/p>\n

We ordered his records from both NRPC and DoN\/HQ-USMC but were expecting to pay huge duplication fees for what we expected to be the size of a phone book, but instead, we received the following…<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

He was a Travel Clerk (3431) and served from 1982 – 1984.\u00a0It shows that he got out as a Lance Corporal (E-3) vs. a Sergeant Major (E-9).\u00a0 It seriously had us thinking that there was an entire second career on and off of active duty, just as he claimed.<\/p>\n

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

But if this were the case, NPRC would not be the curator of his military records.\u00a0 There was no result in DoD Manpower for him being on active duty in 2018.<\/p>\n

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

If there is the slightest\u00a0chance that we are missing something we will be the first to apologize to SgtMaj Rodgers and buy him a cup of coffee… or\u00a0froth-topped caramel macchiato if that’s how he rolls, but we think not.<\/p>\n

The Purple Heart and Combat Action Ribbon claims are in direct violation of the Stolen Valor Act and Dwayne Rodgers needs to remove that from his resume.\u00a0 If it was leveraged to get employment or other advantages, he may have already been in violation of the Stolen Valor Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
