Yeah, he's still "there" for now, but his reminding his peeps that he's in the real estate biz suggests he's reading the handwriting on the wall and knows it's a very short matter of time before he's a less than honorably discharged Marine.

With me, it is a matter of trust. An OTH discharge indicates that the person is not suitable or able to follow instructions, rules, or has some disciplinary actions such as insubordination etc.

I couldn't reasonably trust him to carry out instructions from me and my engage in "other than honorable" dealings (cutting corners in business, expense account padding etc). It's just me...

Stein – Affidavit Col Dowling

I can attest to the negative impact these events have had, and continue to have, on my Command. Specifically, I am aware of an incident that occurred in the afternoon on 22 March 2012 where a member of my command got into a verbal altercation with Sergeant Stein regarding the comments Sergeant Stein had been making in the press. At the time, Sergeant Stein was executing his duties as the Training Non­ Commissioned Officer (NCO) and was attempting to collect score cards from range personnel for recruit training. The Marine NCO verbally denounced Sergeant Stein’s comments, asked him to leave the range offices, and refused to deal with Sergeant Stein any further.

Stein's security clearance was taken away and he has no future in the Marine Corps because he can't do his job without that clearance, Torresala said.

When subordinate Marines refuse to deal with each other it hampers my ability as the Commanding Officer to discharge my responsibilities andcarry outthe recruit training mission that is mandated by my higher headquarters. Additionally, the lack of unity amongst NCOs sets a terrible examplefor junior Marines and has the very real potential to undermine the chain of command.

Marines seek guidance on social media after anti-Obama posts

WASHINGTON – The Marine Corps is recommending an update to the Defense Department directive that landed an anti-Obama Marine in hot water.

Maj. Gen. Vaughn Ary, staff judge advocate to the commandant, is asking the Pentagon to incorporate social-media guidelines into its policy covering political activity in uniform.

Ary's call for review was spelled out in a letter he sent to Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, R-Calif. The congressman's spokesman provided the letter to Marine Corps Times.

Philip Cave, a retired Navy judge advocate who practices military law as a civilian, said Stein got himself into real trouble by running the Facebook page.

"Armed Forces Tea Party conveys a message that he's holding a political group just like the Tea Party of Virginia or Tea Party of Texas," Cave said.

The administrative separation board for Marine Sergeant Gary Stein, the host of the Armed Forces Tea Party Facebook page, who lost his collateral challenge to the board proceedings, concluded after a 13-hour hearing on Thursday. The board found the basis was met, and recommended separation with a characterization of other than honorable, according to news reports.

Complaint For Declaratory And Injunctive Relief: Sergeant Gary A. Stein
April 7, 2012 @ USJFstaff → 6 Comments

Plaintiff, Gary A. Stein (“STEIN”), through his undersigned counsel, brings this action against the above named defendants, in their official capacities, for declaratory and injunctive relief, alleging as follows:

NATURE OF THIS ACTION

1. This is an action for declaratory and injunctive relief to enjoin an imminent attempt to discharge a good Marine in retaliation for the proper exercise of his First Amendment rights. Though the First Amendment may operate differently in the military and civilian contexts, the military must still respect a service member’s freedom of speech. Sergeant Gary Stein has served with honor in the Marine Corps, and he has spoken on matters of public concern in his capacity as a private citizen. Taken in their full context, his statements are protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, as interpreted and applied by both civilian and military courts. Nonetheless, Defendants are attempting to railroad him out of the Marine Corps, with an Other Than Honorable discharge, on extremely short notice, depriving Plaintiff of (a) his liberty without due process of law; (b) his right that Defendants comply with their own rules, regulations, and procedures; and (c) his rights of full American citizenship as promised by Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 (“DOD Directive 1344.10”). Defendants have left Plaintiff with no choice but to seek this Court’s intervention to prevent a grave injustice.
