    Sorry, but you can't just call Marine Corps headquarters and find out if so and so served.

    That information is given out only on an as-needed basis, e.g., a request from a legitimate employer seeking to verify a resume, and things like that.

    Joe Jones can't just call and get this info.

    So, to prove yourself, tell me precisely who you spoke to at Marine headquarters, not just by name and rank but which office.

    (This, by the way, is no commentary on whoever claimed to serve. I just respond to bullshit when I see it, and pantanal seems to be bullshitting here.)
