No names, but the pictures are somewhat clear. If he is in one, you could probably spot him.

ask him the easy stuff

MOS
where did he go to basic?
ask if he submitted his dd214 with his resume and remind him that he should. Dont flat out ask him for it. Like Slaughter said, many troops will tell you to get screwed.




proud of my 214, and would not mind to present it to a potential employer

well he says he had to take mechanic to get into a psyop unit then once their he got his mos changed, then went to high speed schools.



Ok....BS on that right there.

I can see him joining an  national guard Infantry unit as a mechanic then getting a new MOS, so it is possible, just doesn't sound right, but maybe the guy has a good explanation.

Guys, its obvious that the higher ups in the SSDG Regiment are telling him to make up BS about his true MOS. I think we should just cool it right now before we find ourselves gurgling and gasping for air as our thoats are being slit whilst we sleep.

says he went to Ranger School, SERE, Airborne,Sniper School, Was with 82nd in Iraq, attached to Ranger Batt, Marines for a short time. Horseback in Afganistan with psyops...


How about this for an option:

He signed on initially for a three-year enlistment as a mechanic. My understanding is that once you have completed your first term of enlistment, it's fairly easy to get an MOS transfer. He re-enlists, on the basis that he goes 11B. Off he goes to the Benning School for Boys, is assigned to the 82nd. Airborne school is a mandatory, I presume. Being a high-speed E-4, he gets a slot to visit Ranger school. Let's say he was with the Blue Devils (504th PIR?, can't recall now). They did a brief stint in Afghanistan. Gets attached to Ranger unit to boost numbers. While there, does a mission on horseback with Psyops. Maybe as an escort in terrain where HMMWVs can't go. I did a mission or two with Psyops in my tank, depends on how loosely you define 'with psyops'). Deployment ends, Makes E-5, has a crack at Sniper school, comes back to Iraq for a four-month stint. (We relieved Blue Devils that had been in both Afghan and Iraq come early 2004).  Gets attached to Marine unit for a while. Returns to US, does SERE school gets out.

It's a tight timeline, but not entirely impossible.

There are a few folks who reclassed into Psyop who have ranger tabs, there are a whole bunch of folks in one specific psyop unit that are 100% grads of RIP, and about 75% of them are tabbed.

Judging from his claims and the time period, he hasn't had the TIME to do all that.

The 11/18-series restrictions on the ranger/sniper schools I believe changed recently. Im not so sure about the sniper school, but I do know that most MOSs can go to RIP now - I know my company has a slot, and we are a line MP unit. (Not one of those garrison only MP units.)  

But the timeline does sound waaaay off.

Then again, I thought SERE school was only avaliable to aviation and 18-series. Learn something new every day.

Holy shit.  I see a whole lot of incorrect info on who and what can go where and when and do this and that.  Folks, if you really want to find out the deal with this guy, it isn't all that difficult when somebody claims something like SF, Ranger, etc.  Two places come to mind that will be able to vet this guy with a quickness - the place posted earlier or ArmyParatrooper.org.  Both places have verification teams that do this sort of thing.

people who have BTDT usually dont BS about it.  This guy is a phony.  No way he had a MOS of mechanic and THEN transfered to PsyOps, and THEN served in Iraq AND Afghanistan, all in the span of 4 years.  That's a 10 year career easily

there's just no way, you have better odds of winning the powerball than completing that timeline. I was in C Co 3rd Psyop Batt, and I waited almost two years to get a sere slot. Unless you're SF or Aviation it's a long wait.
