Keith Mitchell has made numerous claims on social media ( facebook ) that he was a 1371 ( Marine MOS Combat Engineer ) stationed with 1st Engineers at Camp Lejeune North Carolina from the years of 2005 to 2010. He also claims that he did one deployment to Afghanistan and two deployments to Iraq.
Above is a statement made by Keith Mitchell’s finance Samantha Morgan aka Sam morgan aka Samatha Mitchell after the posting of Keith Mitchell’s Blog of Shame
Reply from the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center
Reply from Headquarters Marine Corps shows that there is no Keith Mitchell as ever serving in the United States Marine Corps.
Summary and Conclusion;
Considering that Keith Mitchell is claiming 1st Engineers from Camp Lejeune North Carolina. Which that Marine unit is actually called the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion ( 1st CEB ). They were redesigned from the 1st Engineers to 1st Combat Engineers shortly after their return to Camp Pendleton California on 31 March, 1976.
This vital mistake in Keith Mitchell’s claims proves that he knows little about Marine Corps history or where units are actually located.
Furthermore with both the Dept of Defense and Headquarters Marine Corps not having records, it appears that Keith Mitchell never served in the United States Marine Corps.
