All it means is he did finish his Officers’ training. He didn’t finish his second six week course and didn’t accept his commission.

Trust me, I’m the proud mother of a USMC Officer’s Candidate now. He will leave for 10 weeks at Quantico next Spring and barring any unforeseen events, will accept his commission and leave for TBS. Hollis French may have wanted to be a Marine, but he didn’t complete the Officer’s Training and may, or may not, have enlisted.

I think French is being factually correct but is allowing people to assume more of his Marine Corps experience.

You actually enlist in the USMCR when joining the PLC program. It appears he only spent some or part of the 6 week PLC Junior increment and then dropped out, which is the beauty of the PLC program as most of the attrition comes from those who decide not to return for their second, or Senior, increment.

If you drop out you are given an honorable discharge from the USMCR.

If he was in ROTC which is the first step to becoming an officer would he have gone to summer camp at Quantico? I was in AF ROTC and we had a summer training camp after our Sophomore year. Just askin’.

Huh? When I went to USAF Officer Training School, they took the non-prior service guys in as SSgts. This was just a record and pay thing. No one was called SSgt. Anyone who washed out would never claim to have been SSgts....

It is amazing that when liberal politicians want credibility they claim to have served in the military. Yet, in their everyday political lives they cannot wait to screw the military. I guess it is because they know the military is forbidden to respond, leaving that to certain few Generals and civilians. Since the MSM fails misreably in vetting news, we’re lucky to have watchdogs point out lying SOSts.

i am going to guess this info will be off his site very shortly if not already. anyone get a screenshot? but he would seem to have plausible deniability, even though it’s total BS.

Instead of “Troopergate”, it should be changed to “Obamagate”.

” In another story French claims he spent six weeks at Quantico, VA.”

Don’t know if I believe this. When I joined, the Marine Corps made me a private and sent me to a resort called MCRD San Diego, where I got promoted to “maggot” first day. I had various other promotions in boot camp but can’t repeat them in a public forum.

Sounds like this French is a lying coward too. Obviously in the right Party. Time to bury this political Stalinist.

Is this accurate?? If so why hasn’t this got wider play?
