I read on a boxing website that tim is an ex-marine then i looked on his personal webpage and it said nothing about the marines so i think if he was that info would be there for sure, so i think it is just some hack making **** up to add to the fight. Does anyone know for sure?

I don't think he is. Maybe the writer got confused because his nickname is the "desert storm". -
you know what i think you are right! here it is
Timothy Bradley was teetering dangerously close to career irrelevance had he not scored the Pacquiao payday. After losing the schoolyard (140lb.) debate with Amir Khan via Twitter, the ex-Marine seemed to be headed toward Winky Wrightville. Top Rank and Golden Boy have reduced lesser promoters to farm systems based on the lure of big money bouts with Pacquiao and Mayweather, but Bradley was starting to look like a victim of that model. After leaving Gary Shaw, Bradley was fed the remains of Joel Casamayor last November, unbecoming of a man with a unification bout out there to be had. He had to know that Floyd and Manny were not going to get it on anytime soon and it was probably an astute gamble to sit on the shelf until it was abundantly clear. Bradley is no second option for Pacquiao; in fact, he's just the kind of fighter who can make proclamations (of victory) when Juan Manuel Marquez merely suggested them. Pacquiao's aggression allows Bradley to be what he truly is, a fighter who would rather mix it up than box. Bradley is also single-minded and a rough customer who won't freeze up when Pacquiao comes forward like Joshua Clottey. Like Cotto, he's not into all of the theatrics of pre-fight build up, but unlike Cotto his record is legitimately 28-0. He isn't affected by the "Timothy who?" cries from the mainstream; he knows he belongs in the ring with the best fighters in the world. Bradley wears his military background (Desert Storm) on his sleeve and with that comes an ability to set goals without entertaining failure as an option. Even Freddie Roach and Alex Ariza have concerns that Pacquiao is too conflicted to deal with a man of Bradley's singular focus.Comment

No he isn't.. if he was an actual desert storm vet he would have to be almost 40..and as a
Marine myself I know that he has never served in my corpsComment
-
desert storm is a name he adopted because he's from the desert (palm springs,)
he was not a marineComment

He also said he calls himself desert storm out of respect for the troops.... i think i saw that in an hbo vid on him
