As I said you have someone else.
Wrong state.
Wrong age.
Wrong name.
ObShaggyDog:
I lived in the US in the 90s woirking on a degree or other.
During my stay somehow the USMC thought I was on their payroll.
At some point I started getting in my letterbox official letters
telling me to report for duty and prepare to ship out for Iraq.
I contacted the relevant office by phone and mail and had difficulty
convincing them that some guy Russel Thorsell was not me.
I sent a certified copy of my passport but they still thought I
was trying to pull a fast one because everyone else did.
EVENTUALLY I worked my way up through the food chain to someone qualified
to tell the difference between me and the other guy.
Just asking. Do you still work for the Marines in their Vestal office
or did you finally get the sack?

[P]eople who are incompetent not only have an inflated sense of their
own competence, but are also incapable of even recognizing competence.
[An experiment showed no matter how well subjects performed on a test they
believed themselves to be equally competent and their test score would be "B"].
[W]hen [the authors] shared the performance of other participants with the
people who performed poorly (hoping that they would then adjust their
self-perception downward) people who scored poorly failed to adjust their
self-perception of their performance. In other words, they are completely
unaware of their own competence, and can't detect competence in others.
Now, doesn't this explain a lot? It explains the tendency of cranks
not to care if other cranks (and denialists in general for that
matter) have variations on their own crazy ideas, just as long as the
other cranks are opposing the same perceived incorrect truth.
