CAMP LEJEUNE, NC – Enlisted Marines everywhere were stunned this week after learning that the creator of enlisted-life comic strip Terminal Lance is actually former Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps Carlton Kent.
The story broke after an alert data specialist at Camp Lejeune noticed that the IP address for the Terminal Lance website was actually the same one used by the retired sergeant major's work computer.
Upon being questioned by a Duffel Blog investigative reporter, Sgt. Maj. Kent admitted that he had created the comic and was continuing to post weekly updates on the Terminal Lance website.
According to the Sgt. Maj., he came up with the idea back in 2009 with then-Commandant, Gen. James Conway.
