RESPONSE ooooooppppps - failed to mention this was distributed to a group of individuals spoofing an email address of another individual ( the email address implied it was sent by one man, when it was actually sent by another - believed to be Poland/Dwyer himself) and received by the Network through some of those receiving it and questioning the true source that sent it. |

"If you ever accept a gift or gratuity you had to expect to return a favor. " <<<<< click here I think to be fair, SM Skiles underestimated the POWNETWORK in the work they do and have done. It is now common knowledge that Gary Lakis completely fooled a lot of Marines, folks involved with socnet, and even Sharky himself. The whole affair was a major embarrassment to the Marine Corps and those involved with the Sniper School and Sniper Association.
When SM Skiles made the statement in his message to the Pownetwork
----------
"As I called credible people on Duane,
Duane is not the culprit... It looks that others are being associated
with his knife company and stating that Duane is one of them to get in
with the company...Butt kissing going on...Honestly, this issue is not
a flagrant, malicious abuse on Duane's part....."
Since there is evidence that Dwyer was well
connected and involved with the Sniper School at Pendleton, can we
assume that the 'credible' people SM Skiles talked
with were Marines presently connected with that operation or were in
the past?
The point being, he didn't check his sources but simple took them at
their word. SM Skiles had to know that Dwyer had the reputation
of being a Marine Sniper of great regard. But he seems to
disregard all of that to point out about the wonderful gift of knives
to Sniper School graduates Strider Knives had been donating for years.
This is the same error that was made with Gary Lakis.
It is for this reason that the POWNETWORK was astonished at the
seemingly 'brushing it all under the rug' attitude conveyed by SM
Skiles. Socnet has now confirmed the questions and conclusions
of the Pownetwork. It only seems reasonable that SM Skiles would
want to go back to his sources and correct the apparent mis-information
he was given.

-------------------------------------- His MOS also has to be 59XX. They were like two peas in a pod. Very likable, and basically good Marines. They worked out together on a daily basis. Duane's sister was living at the House they shared for a time and I met her briefly when I visited once. But I cannot remember her name. Duane was very active, he had a dirt bike, 9mmm pistol, lots of exercise equipment. Duane and Bob, (Robert), even worked on the weekends cleaning up apartment construction -------------------------------------------- What
worries me the most about Duane is if he is teaching snipers now. But
then a little more thought will quail that worry because he must have
gained experience somehow. There is oversight on all training programs
in the Corps. If he were no good or even marginal in his training he
would not be able to continue. Are you sure he is doing this? Has
Duane claimed any medals he did not earn? He
must be lying about his service to further his business adventures just
like a politician lies to further their political career. I’m sure it
is hurtful to those Marines who truly completed I
think you can tell by the tone of this letter the whole thing does
sadden me, as some who knew and even liked the true Sgt. Duane Do you have a contact number for him? I will call him and ask him to confess. ======================================================== I spoke with Duane today and he
informed me his lawyer is currently working on all this. He says that he
will talk about it when he can and denies any wrong doing. I for one am
willing to wait his explanation. Other than a short conversation about
the mess, it was just small talk. One other thing, as I was speaking
to him, a memory surfaced. We worked in a cold environment because of
the computers, main frames…while the rest of us wore our issued
jackets, Duane was different. He wore a shooting range jacket. It was in
fact because he was a member of the MCTSSA shooting team. That still a
long way from sniper school, but I trust he will give the true answer
about it all as soon as he is able. [name withheld] |

If you doubt our findings, ask Thomas Duane Poland/Dwyer to sign a full release of records (like they did for John Kerry and Bush) and see what he says. Classified, lost, burned records are bogus excuses. Make sure to have him sign an SF180 form http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel/standard-form-180.html for EACH name (Dwyer and Poland) and see what you get back. Or simply ask him to provide a copy of his DD214 - military discharge certificate - and see if it matches the information provided by NPRC. BTW - altering a DD214 is a felony.

Not that anyone cares, but Thompson also called Duane a fake in his ad,
and a con man. Duane served in the Marines honorably, attained the rank
of SSGT, and has been accepted into the Marine Scout Sniper Assc, which
I know personally requires hard proof of service and MOS. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4331473&postcount=43 =========================== At 07:25 PM 12/18/2007,

Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 8:13 PM He's a fraud. If you look at his job title he is a system or electronic technician. I have never heard of one of them getting a quota to sniper school because they are all allocated to recon and scout sniper platoons. Another negative against him is his record of travels which is the second or third sheet down and none of those show any signs of Sniper school. Maybe I missed it somewhere but I highly doubt it. Looks like just another Marine who could be proud of what he's done but is going to screw it all up by making up bogus claims. Buck

Hoever, something many people don't know and others have obscured
in this discussion, Strider
Knives isn't all about Mick. Duane
Dwyer was a for
sure Marine Scout Sniper
with an impressive kill count. Others who work at Strider
in CA and/or are their distributors around the world are similarly
people who have serious records of military accomplishments. They've
chosen their association; call them what you will. |

Main Issue with Strider Knives seems to be regarding Mick Strider's
shadowy past in the Military/Private Military Contractor field.
That's
it - They don't like him because they say he lied/over-inflated his
past experience. No mention gets made about Duane Dwyer, co-maker
with
Mick Strider, who served in Marine Recon. No mention gets made about
the fact some of their knives actually have NSN numbers for
Military/Govt. purchase. No mention gets made about the soldiers who
are happily using the knives. All the focus is on Mick Strider's
past,
and the cost of the knives.

Raiding the past
New spec-ops unit harks back to WWII Raider battalions
The Corps' newest elite force looked to another Marine unit's
storied past for inspiration as it developed a unit patch and unique
fighting knife. Activated in June at Camp Pendleton, Calif., Marine
Corps Special Operations Command Detachment One is the service's
first contribution to U.S. Special Operations Command.
It's a new unit for a brand-new mission, but there's history for
these handpicked Marines to draw on — that of the Corps'
short-lived Raider battalions of World War II.
Detachment One's link to the Raiders is reflected in its newly
designed unit patch, incorporating parachutist's wings and combatant
diver insignia of the reconnaissance Marine, the sleek stiletto
blade used by the Raiders and the skull they wore as insignia and
used as a calling card.
"I couldn't think of any better way to tie in the legacy of the
Raiders," said Lt. Col. James G. Kyser, commanding officer, 2nd
Battalion, 2nd Marines, at Camp Lejeune, N.C., who conceived the
idea of incorporating the Raider logo into the Det One patch while
assisting in the development of the new spec-ops unit. "The
Marine recon community considers the Raiders as their founding
fathers."
For a fighting knife, however, Det One is not borrowing the stiletto
of Raider fame. Nor are they going with the famed Ka-Bar.
"The Ka-Bar is the greatest $35 knife that is out here,"
said Duane Dwyer, a former Force Reconnaissance Marine and the
designer and manufacturer of Det One's new blade. But while the
Ka-Bar can take a beating, broken blades are not unusual, he said.
Instead, each member of the new 86-man force will get in his
individual assault kit a lightweight folding knife made by Strider
Knives, a 10-person company in San Marcos, Calif. The knife has a
four-inch steel blade and a titanium handle that's just over 5
inches long.
"It was selected by, built for and issued to" the unit,
Dwyer said
