Okay, I've done some serious war posts. So lets cover something less serious. Like the glorious military career of L. Ron. Hubbard. Now for legal reasons, I need to state that there is the version the Scientologists proclaim. And then there is the version supported by the documentation provided by the US Navy. I will let the reader draw their own conclusions but the Scientologist version is full of shit. So lets talk about the glorious career of L. Ron. Hubbard. He spent some time in the Marine reserves during the 30's, got an honorable discharge that reads that he was not to be re-enlisted.
Just before the breakout of WWII, he joined the Navy and requested to be put into intelligence services. What happened is that he bounced from department to department lasting a few months in each. His fitness reports indicate he was a fuck up who never quite managed to fuck up enough to get kicked out. But it's a wartime navy and so promotions happened. He makes full Lieutenant and they give him a converted fishing trawler. A boat so small they don't bother giving it a proper name. Then he promptly loses that. And gets sent over to the Pacific. And he goes aboard the USS PC-815. The high point of his career. the USS PC-815. A small subchaser. The ship was commissioned on April 21, 1943 and by May 19th of that month, the brave Lt Hubbard declared he found a pair of sub under his ship and gave orders to engage it. He was joined by a couple of other subchasers and some Coast Guard vessels. He claimed to have sunk one of them but weirdly enough, not a single Japanese Navy ship was near San Diego according to IJN records.
But L. Ron. Hubbard wasn't finished yet. On June 28th, while anchored off of the Coronado Islands he ordered his crew to fire on said Islands. Now here is a problem. Those islands belong to Mexico. And anchoring near them means he was in Mexican waters. Also the Island has a small rescue base staffed by the Mexican Navy. While no one was hurt, the Mexican Navy wasn't pleased to be shelled and they made their displeasure known up via diplomatic channels. THey didn't like being on the receiving end of gunnery practice.
Note "Is this person qualified to do their job bit" and how it's checked no. That's not the sign of a great officer. So a bunch of stuff happens, Hubbard keeps being Hubbard and eventually he gets assigned to the USS Algol. It was commissioned on July 21st of 1944. On September 27 he claimed to have found a Molotov cocktail left as part of an apparent sabotage attempt. He was no longer a part of that crew within a few hours. And in 1945 he was given a medical discharge. Thus ended one of the least glorious careers in American Naval history.
The best part about all of this is that his military record was dragged out into the light thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Scientologists against a writer in the 80's. Taking his record from being in a dusty Navy warehouse somewhere to putting them as much easier to access court records.
