MODESTO, CA – The top Marine general has announced that he will give former Marine recruit Craig Pusley an honorary promotion to the rank of sergeant for his "outstanding and excellent service" while "singlehandedly and meritoriously" wearing a Marine uniform while standing around at a California school.

General James "Tamer" Amos, speaking to Duffel Blog, said that Pusley deserves the honor despite questions concerning his prior service and accusations that he lied for publicity and sex, the latter of which may be prosecutable in California as "rape by fraud."

Calling Pusley's performance "the best thing to happen to the Marine Corps all year," General Amos described the picture taken of Pusley as embodying the Marine Corps values of 'honor, courage, and commitment'.

General Amos said he hopes that the rest of the Marine Corps learns a lesson from Pusley's leadership.
