He yelled at us that he &#8220;defected&#8221; from the Marine. We shrugged and he wandered away.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Defected Marine by jlilyea, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/3372955995\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3457\/3372955995_dd72916841.jpg\" alt=\"Defected Marine\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, today one of my workmates got curious about the paper he&#8217;s holding, so I blew the photo up and it turns out it&#8217;s a certificate of the Delayed Entry Program for the Marines.

I guess he wears the mask because he thinks the Marines are looking for his pale little chickenshit ass. Of course, flashing a piece of paper around with your name in bold print probably doesn&#8217;t help him hide much better &#8211; Ryan James Vaughn, in case you didn&#8217;t click on the picture.<\/p>\n<p>If he only he&#8217;d showed up for that first day at the reception station before he crapped himself and ran away, he could have joined IVAW. I wonder if he read that last paragraph on his certificate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TSO Wrote: <\/strong><em>On the video tape portion you can hear me yell out to him that I want to see his DD214.
