Is there a way for me to get info on somebody in the military?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is there a way for me to get info on somebody in the military?

Posted: 1/26/2009 8:31:32 AM EDT

My girlfriend was "online" friends with this guy that is in Iraq in the army. He found her on Myspace and she talked to him because she's pro-military.

After we started dating, he got pretty weird. Lot's of begging and pleading for her to date him, and finally he said he couldn't handle it and that he was deleting her from his AIM friends.

Today, several months later, she starts getting text messages on her phone from his AIM screenname (as far as she knows, she never set her phone up on AIM). At first it was just hello, but it turned pretty crude. The fucker was telling her that he was about to jack off thinking about her, and that he does it all the time.

He's supposedly a "sniper" like everybody else at the gunshow. He won't leave her alone even though she has asked him to, and I'd like to put a stop to this.

Knowing his name, is there any way to look him up?

Sounds pretty standard from an Army guy. Although, I must admit, I know quite a few fucked up Marines too. ahh, the days of internet hogging in the barracks...

Wish I could help. If he was a Marine, I could tell you just about everything. You could always file a report with an Army JAG

Someone with AKO access can look him up. I could try, but I'm not very good with the system yet.

Unless he has a very unique name, you would need more information to find this guy.
(Unit, where he's based, MOS......)

He may not even be .mil

The GF should ignore this guy, change phone #s and screen names. This is a good lesson about putting too much personal info on the Internet.

I get Red Flag warnings when a GF has recurring drama with "Exes", things can turn out badly for you.

I don't get it. She only knows the guy from the internet? Have her stop replying to him. People have a short attention span. If she ignores every single thing he sends he will give up after a few weeks or months. If he starts back at it, still do not reply.

If she emails replies for him to stop then she is indirectly keeping it going. Why acknowledge that he even exists? She hasn't met him.

He's just trying to understand the distance and the windage that has come between them.

Give me his AKO info and area code and I will do a search. I won't be able to give you any of his info but i can tell you if he is in or if he is a faker. Any one on here who is CID could help him out with an intimidating phone call.

Exactly. Text messages and IMs are like launching things into a void because there is no guaranteed delivery. You don't know if they are received or understood on the other end. By ignoring it he is bound to grow bored of his actions and it should taper off.

Change her # and the problem ends.

If it becomes a problem and she truly feels uncomfortable - she can ask him for his mailing address. She can then write a letter to the "Commander" of that unit and calmly explain that his contact is unwelcomed and she asks for the Commander's help in stopping it.

It will be stopped.

Can't put a block on the phone for texts from AIM. It's not coming from a phone number.

She was ignoring him for months, and he came back for more. After his first text which simply asked how she was doing, she ignored him. He kept on going, however.

And I do know his name, and it's fairly unique.

A message saying she will be contacting his commander should resolve the issue. That would be assuming he has half a brain.

ETA I hate guys who treat women like crap and I hate them even more if they are military.
