The Col. Name does show up on a Marines website but nothing about him on Facebook. The gal has multiple Facebook pages under multiple versions of said name. There pictures come up with nothing. There is no record of her on been verified neither is her phone number or email.

I did reach out to someone on the Marine Facebook page and he said he never heard of the Vacation dept. He also said that all dept of Defense end in .mil not .com

Unfortunately, these scams are too common on social media. This thread covers a lot of red flags and how to avoid romance scammers:
