Marine deserter hides out in woman’s body
The Daily Mail has the story of poor Elizabeth/Donald Tremblay who deserted from the Marine Corps because she/he “couldn’t take it anymore and he fled to his home state of Maine” 31 years ago. Here’s the link, but don’t click it unless you think you can live with the image for the rest of your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, dickweed.
Now, even though much has changed in the past 31 years since Donald left the military- most notably her sex change- but that [doesn't] mean that the charges have been dropped.
She was already arrested once for the charge four months ago and she was forced to spend two-and-a-half days in jail, but she is still awaiting the official verdict from the Marines Corps.
‘The only thing they have on me is desertion. Other than that, I was a good Marine. I didn’t get in trouble or anything,’ Elizabeth told local paper Lewiston-Auburn Sun Journal.
Elizabeth, 57, says that it is not so much the fact that the Marine Corps came calling after her because she went absent without leave, but the timing of it all.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they don’t want it back. Mail it it’s discharge and forget it ever happened.

“The only thing they have on me is desertion. Other than that, I was a good Marine.” Bwahahahahahahah.

I appreciate the warning. I heeded it. I’m out of chlorine eyewash and snorting tabs. Really. I do appreciate it.

It fears a dishonorable discharge??? You freaking think?
January 15th, 2013 at 10:50 am
The Portland Press herald has this as a front page article. The rag is very much a leftist propaganda mouthpiece. It’s owned by the uber-rich husband of Maine’s Congressman Chellie Pingree. You can imagine that they also never run anything critical of her. Evah.
Anyway, this article also has everything they like: It’s about some queer, a Marine deserter, and how the Marines have given it an honorable discharge. God only knows why the Corps would do that.
Now this thing has access to the VA hospital at Togus, and the word through my back channel is that it hopes to force the VA to pay for the remaining sex-change surgery and hormone programs.

Okay, three comments. First is, just because allegedly “you tell your officer”, whoever the hell that is, that you are leaving, does not excuse being in unauthorized absence/deserter status. The second thing, this person feels that he/she is entitled to an honorable discharge. Exactly what did this person do to warrant an honorable discharge? And as being “forced to move to North Carolina”, when the admin pogue screwed up my extension request to stay in Okinawa, and I ended up at 2nd ELMACO, I didn’t have my bayonet surgically removed. Finally, he/she needs to find a good lawyer and sue the surgeon that performed the train wreck. Talk about throwing good money after bad. It’s like installing a $3000 entertatinment system and getting a $1000 paint job for an 84 Yugo.

Okay, comments have been posted for twenty minutes. Allow me to make the first reference to Cpl. Klinger.

It didn’t work for Klinger either; poor guy spent 11 years in a war that only lasted 3

I clicked on this story fully expecting a Silence of the Lambs, Buffalo Bill “It puts the lotion on the skin” type story…
Sadly it was much worse
January 15th, 2013 at 11:01 am
The only thing they have on us is that whole killing our parents thing, other than that we were good sons — the Menendez boys…
—Dishonorable discharge for desertion seems like a minimum. This individual can’t possibly believe they deserve an honorable discharge, they didn’t serve honorably.

Isn’t the Daily mail the same newspaper that ran an article about an Air Force deserter hanging out in Sweden for thirty years a few months back? I prefer the hot chick photos of the Page Six Girls (or whatever they are called).

Jesus, what part about desertion makes someone a “good” Marine? And “FORCED” move to Swamp Lejune? Hey, fuckstick (or is that fuckhole?) moving is part of the military’s wonderful experience, you know, see the world, shit like that.
Notice to Marines–you can no longer make teh ghey jokes.

To paraphrase FatCircles0311
Damn, Marines. Get your shit together
January 15th, 2013 at 11:33 am
Why? Why is it so damn hard to just shut your mouth, do your four years and get out? Even if you end up despising the Corps, at least you did your time?

In all fairness, he ehhh it did have it’s balls cut off… appropriate punishment for “it’s” action’s.
PS: I should have heeded the warning.
January 15th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
Let me get this straight, it want us to give it an honorable discharge for less than honorable service (AWOL is still considered less than honorable in this dimension, right?), it wants to get VA benefits even though there are some honorably discharged veterans who still can’t get them, and it wants to live free even though it broke at least three UCMJ laws? Wow, I bet it voted for Obama, too.
Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to go shove a soldering iron in my ear to burn those images out.

Holy crap, you can’t make stuff like that up. Other than desertion s/he was a good Marine. “Well, Chief, that ammo upload drill went rather well other than dropping the clearing sector holdback tool overboard!”
January 15th, 2013 at 1:22 pm
i’m hoping that uncle sam’s misguided children give that sorry individual some time in portsmouth. there has to be a few marines that are wishing right now this story had never come to light, just so they could continue through their normal life, not ever having been associated with THAT in any way, shape or form. honorable discharge? are you kidding me?

Portsmouth Naval Prison has been closed for about 40 years. But I have a better idea. Make her STAY in Maine.
No offense, AW1Tim, but there are days…
January 15th, 2013 at 1:25 pm
Jonn, calling someone a dickweed after warning them not to do something is just like triple-dog daring them to do it.
I looked. I regret looking, but no one’s going to call me a chicken.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I feel lunch coming back up.

I’ve known two men who have had sex change operations to become women. Both were older, the one who was 6’4″ didn’t make a very attractive woman, but didn’t scare small children either. The other was pretty small to begin with and anyone who didn’t know, couldn’t tell. She made a fairly attractive older woman.
Some people just get scrambled in the development process. Others are born with bits of both genitalia. They are usually far happier after the change.
However, neither of them tried to scam or cheat anyone else or broke any laws.
January 15th, 2013 at 2:21 pm
I took Jonn’s warning quite seriously. I would never click the link.
… It’s just that reading all these comments piqued my curiosity a little.
… I’m older and quite sober, I can take it. Just a quick peek will be fine.
ACK! SPLARG! Jonn, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? My Mental Health Professional will be sending you a bill.

“After completing boot camp at a base in California and facing a forced move to North Carolina, Tremblay couldn’t take it anymore and he fled to his home state of Maine, effectively becoming a deserter even though he told his officer where he was headed.”
Completed boot camp and ‘couldn take it anymore.’
I think the hard part was over…
‘forced move to North Carolina’
You mean transferred to your first duty station? The recruiter never mentioned that?
‘becoming a deserter even though he told his officer where he was headed.’
If it wasn’t ok, he would have been arrested before he left boot camp. Let’s find ‘his officer’ and prosecute him.
Every time I’ve think we’ve heard from the lamest reporter of all time, another one comes along…

Reading between the lines, it looks like he rocked out, aka failed, of teletype repir school. Being the resident comm puke, and veteran of three seperate times through Marine Corps Communications Electronics School (MCCES), depending on how far along in school you were at the point of failing, you may move from A Company (Maintenance School) to B Company (Operators School). If no seats are available in field radio operator course, comm center operator course, or even field wireman class, you would probably end up in either Motor Transport or Heavy Equipment occupatinal fields. Just because you fail out of a course, that does not negate your contract.
