I know Tim, and his TRUE friends will always stand behind him, in good and bad. He has a good heart, and he needs friends now more than ever during this horrible time. We all make mistakes, and we are all capable of evils. Both families are in my prayers.
Hey Chief Mess, (Deleted by site moderator), you wouldn’t know respect if it flew and hit you in the face. Let me tell you this, there is a word us real Navy men live by, its called loyalty. I am one of Tim’s real friends and I will stand by him even if he is convicted. It doesn’t mean I condone what he did or disrespect the 16 year old tramp. But I know your kind, your the butt kissing chieft thats always holding the door and filling the CO’s coffee mug, the only respect you get is what you can buy, not earn. Another thing, he can’t loose his military benefits. Only if the conviction relates to National Security and we not even in that areana. You just don’t know what your talking about. And everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, he served for 20 years I would say he has earned the right to benefit from that. (Deleted by site moderator)

For all those that read this article, please don’t think all instructors are mentally ill. The NJROTC program is a great program that helps kids.
Timothy J. McDorman (Preacherman) has disgraced the uniform that he had worn for 20 years. I’ve always heard, “Once a Chief, always a Chief”….unfortunately, not in this situation. Get out of my mess …. and stay out! When he is convicted of these felonies he will lose his monthly retirement pension from the military forever. He knew better than this, he has hurt this young girl and her family, not to forget his own family. He should be ashamed of himself. Not even his real friends will stand behind him now.
I will pray for the families. For those young men and women at the school, pray for all those people involved. Real men do not take advantage of young people like that. Women and girls should ALWAYS be given 100% respect. If you give respect you will enjoy respect from others. Listen young men, I hope you all have had a strong male role model growing up, if not, listen to what your grandmothers and mothers have taught you…next time you see your grandmother, mother, sister, aunt or girl friend, tell them that you love and care for them. Build a respectful relationship with them. If you do this you will not end up in a jail cell next to Mr. McDorman.
personally i kinda thought he might have been that way but i am a student of that school and i kno mr.mcdorman and i think that is really nasty and a big shock.
