Amazing video, as a Big Lee Marvin Fan I appreciate it ❤
Thank you be sure to check out ruclips.net/video/eOtyhVwA1s0/видео.htmlsi=XOMXNd2rQR8ibaJD
I don't think I would use the term "busted". His prior rank was a temporary Quartermaster rank. When he left the Quartermaster unit he reverted to his highest permanent rank which was private. During the war there were a large number of temporary officers that reverted back to their highest permanent rank which would have been an enlisted rank.
Thanks for the clarity.
Excellent info--he is an American Legend🇺🇸🤙🏼
Interesting. Thank you.
It doesn't take a lot to get in some sort of trouble in the Marine Corps. Lee Marvin did what a Marine is trained to do and that is fight. And it sounds like he did A LOT of that.
The VB Rifle Grenade went out of service when stockpiles were exhausted during the Battle of Guadalcanal:

This deep dive into Lee Marvin's service record reminded me again of how little I know about military life. I was born in the San Diego Naval Medical Center, went to MCRD San Diego, spent time in the Marine Reserves after four years of active Marine Corps duty, spent nine years of active duty in the Army, some Army Reserve time, and then retired from the Army National Guard--and my father was Air Force, too! There was a lot of stuff in Lee Marvin's service record that was foreign to me (my service was 1974 to 2010). Thanks for the education.
he was a bad ass hero a Marine
Thanks for posting Dylan!
Thanks Jim!
Really great medical treatment & documentation.
My dad was in the 20th marines which was also the 121st seabees, the engineers or shore party for the 24th, dad was a 2d class petty officer . they had marine officers, marine training, marine uniforms but navy rates and just had a cb patch . dad was in the 4th wave on Saipan, he said the first wave of which would have been Lee Marvin's landed directly into Japanese cross fire machine gun fire and were almost wiped out. they were all under sniper fire . mortars, and zeros strafing them. the 20th held the flank of the 24th. interesting my dad signed up for swimmer, there was no name for seals, so they were the first frogmen, seals. dad was most proud of the president unit citation of which only a few seabees units received.. a bit confusing as dad was a marine and a Seabee . seems after Saipan the 20th was released back to the navy and became the 121st officially., so dad was a carpenters mate in the marine Corp. dad served on all the islands Lee marvin did.. he said the Marines landed and actually charged across some in bravery .take ground fast, mop up later.
I would like know how I could get these records for my father...
Very interesting. Sad the insurance didn't adjust to the cost of living. 1969 it was still 10 thousand dollars.
GUBBMINT gets a better deal
Casual company is not a casualty company. Casual companies back then were essentially holding companies where guys would be put when they are awaiting further orders. When the Marine corps didn't know what to do with you yet you were sent to a casual company until they figure out a duty station.
Thank you!
Lee Marvin must have been wounded after a few days on Saipan, dad liked funny stories, the 20th held the flank from banzai charges coming from garapan,, dad said the Marines one of which may have been Lee Marvin, yelled, o my god we have seabees who cant shoot straight on our flanks, the seabees yelled back, we are rear troops sent up here to protect the Marines., after landing the mission was get to the airfield, dad said he was in combat 4 days and nights with no sleep. they took the airfield, he set up a pup tent and slept for 24 hours, when he woke up the tent was riddled with bullet holes. he slept through everything.
Just like in that movie The Professionals
Burt Lancaster:"Amigo,where did you get shot?
Lee Marvin:"In the ass"
HA HA movie audience erupts in gales of laughter.One woman had to be hospitalized she was laughing so hard.
And did you see where Marvin lived with his parental units in NY?308 e, 79th st.,my old n'hood
Very hoity toity address I must say.Musta been millionaires!From the upper east side to Parris Island.What a contrast!Gales o' laughter!
Personally I think his record should be secret. No one needs to know the personal information about this guy. I find it almost offensive that somebody can dig into my records after I pass. I have my own dire combat experience with the Marine Corps and it’s very private with me. I was sure or assumed it would be private made public to those in my family. I served honor. I do notice it on his awards. He had two Presidential unit citations. Presidential unit citations. A PUC is extremely hard to get. I share that with him. Semper Fi PFC Marvin
Thank you for your service.
I hAve a PUC also from nam, 363rd trans. Co.
he probably tried to get back to his unit when wounded and they charged him for disobeying an order is my guess

A quartermaster corporal can’t be leading a squad or giving orders to men in combat. Just because he learned how to type and transport supplied does not make him qualified to give orders in a line infantry company. So his rank was reduced. He could be promoted later if he gained experience and demonstrated leadership.
All the greats get NJP'd!
He was only 2 pounds heavier than Bea Arthur...🤔
Well, I have to say I wish these records were kept confidential and not now for public scrutiny
I would argue that the historical value of what's in those records placing Lee in the grander scale of combat in the Pacific is invaluable to understand the man. Thanks for your opinion sir
Thank you very much you must be BITISH. For you can and must take the most interesting subjects and make it so fuck'n BOREING. My POP didn't get to serve because all his six brothers? Were serving with his sister aunt JACKIE Oh she was wonderful to meet. Uncle Jerry was right above POP who was the youngest. Had his ASS BLOWN OFF in Italy yet lived. Said He was first one in first one out due to wound. My Uncle Oscar was in the 106th in the BATTLE OF THE BULGE WAS WOUNDED IN UPPER RIGHT THIGH SEVERLY
yet was not captured and was taken care of by a WONDERFUL BELGIUN FAMILY IN THERE ATTICK. Uncle Charlie got a finger blown off around LEYTE? THEY ARE ALL MY HERO'S THIS IS ALL I EVER DREAMED OF DOING YET THEY WOULD NOT TALK. It damned sure wasn't BORING. Thanks this might motivate me to tell MY HEROES STORY THEY COULDN'T TELL. Where in the Hell did you find the RECORDS? Thanks Try not to be so DRY. GOOD LUCK. GRANDMA AND GRANDPA SURELY MUST HAVE PRAYED THEIR ASSES OFF FOR THEY ALL CAME BACK ALIVE. MOM'S brother Uncle DON fought with The THIRD ARMY AS A TANKER AND THE ONLY TIME I MET HIM AND AUNT WANDA THEY WERE BOTH CRAZIER THAN SHIT.

Not very well researched or organized.
It was done live to show you how those files are organized and what information is in them. ruclips.net/video/eOtyhVwA1s0/видео.html
@VestigesofHistory still you could have organized it all in the right order or format before going live .
The file shown is exactly how it was organized and digitized by National Archives staff. To deconstruct that would be wishful thinking. I agree with you it should be in chronological order but we don't make the rules.
@@VestigesofHistory I stand corrected !
