it's bullshit time! Only pogues go to Jackson for basic. If you really want to pop this guy, ask to see his DD 214...

try to sneak up on him in his cubicle and pop a paper bag behind his head.
His reaction should make you aware whether or not he is telling the truth. |

DD214 should have all his active duty time right? Should also have schools? |

It'll have a list of awards, time on active duty, reasons discharged etc. Also, you can ask to see his DA 2-1 and 2A and that will tell you what schools he has, when hewent, his weapons qual, all kinds of stuff. More than likely he will say he lost them or whatever, which is not uncommon, but if he's out he should have just about his entire 201 file. Tabs and patches can be bought and sewn on, but is paperwork won't lie. Not having been to Ranger school myself, I wouldn't be able to pop him on specific details about the school, but paperwork is always a good place to look |

will have at least his MOS and time in service. Hopefully he put all his schools in when he outprocessed. even still, he is full of crap. What was his MOS where did he go to basic? Jackson? Probably a mechanic. |

If some guy came up to me at work and said he wanted to see my DD214 I would tell him/her to pound salt.

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. |

Yeah thats why i cannot just ask, I would love to give it a look. The weird part is the guy must have really done his homework because he knows details about the places he has been too, cause i have been to some of the same places. |

I look at it this way. If he isnt making up any stories of being a hero, I would ignore his BS and distance myself from him. I would probably even make him get the feeling I know he is full of crap so he distances himself from me. If he is making up crap about being some hero, saving lives and killing folks with his MRE spoon then smoke him out. Big time.

Indeed it is. One I held myself for about 5 years While Im no longer in 4th POG, I still maintain my contacts there. The Horseback with Psyop story is just way too good to be true. |

Had a similar thing happen to me. Co-worker claimed Ranger Sniper. Turned out he was 82nd who had a completed Ranger school and was the squad sniper. Never served with Batt. This guy is a cool guy also, good worker too. I think a lot of these guys just figure that when they talk to the average Joe about the issue, it is all the same to them. No real malice involved. I doubt most would claim to be in the 75th to someone who is scrolled. Regardless, they should still be thanked for their service.

All you have to do is look at what he is claiming. He admits he was a mechanic to begin with. Presumably from that he went to psyops, then to Ranger School(don't you have to be an E-4 to go to Ranger School?), then to SERE, then to Sniper School, then on two different deployments, all in less than four years(unless he got put out early).
If he was that much of a stud, why was he a mechanic in the beginning? What could he possibly have to offer that thousands of more experienced soldiers lack? |

Sounds wierd. If you do get his DD-214 (freedom of information act, $20?) SERE school won't show up on it. Or at least it didn't show up on mine. I think because it's either too short or it doesn't affect MOS or NCOES. Oh yeah, it does show up on that thing that equates military service to college credit. (used mine to skip Phys Ed) It's called either dantes or aartes or something. I'll get back to you. I'm going to try and check it out online.

he's right, I forgot it was also there. Also, another guy had a good point. 2 years is not enough time for all that. I just got done with 1 deployment and it took me a year and a half from the time I left home to the time I got back. True, Ranger batts have shorter but more frequent deployments, and no not everyone (in fact few) psyop guys are tabbbed as it is an 80% reserve MOS |

Hey, Vietnam vets used to have a hell of a time with homeless guys showing up to all thier meetings and rallys wearing dusty field jackets and talking about being seals, sfers, etc. That's when they started filing freedom of info paperwork to get these guys records. Turns out the majority of the dregs were cooks in germany or admin in okinawa.

You can get RIP in your contract when you enlist, but I seriously doubt there is any way in hell he could get RIP in his contract w/o being 11X. So if he's a light wheel mech originally....I just don't see it. No way he's going to get the hooah schools and now way in hell he's getting a billet for sniper school. BC |

I'm pretty sure RIP is an Infantry only contract option.
Even if his story was possible, I still wouldn't buy it. Why would a guy that was inclined to do all that high speed shit go in as anything but an Infantryman? |

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.

+1. Office on the left as you enter the patches building. I'm at Benning now. I would suggest you ask him if he didn't keep a copy of his ERB. That'll have all the dope on it. Thiunk of some sneaky way, like asking about language or date of rank. |

Just tell him that there are people in the office that think he is full of it and that he needs to produce a 214 or shut his mouth.

Erm, Psyop is an attachment. We never... well 99.9% of the time are solo. I don't think we ever rode horses *shrug*.
We do have man-portable speaker systems, I guess that would save the horses ass. If he uses the word "Psyops" that right there is a #1 positive proof that he is fake. 1st thing we learn in AIT, "It's PSYOP, not PSYOPSSSSS!" During Re-Class, first thing I told the incomming soldiers, "It's Psyop." We got smoked every time someone said Psyops. So trust me, its annoying as hell when anyone adds that S. PSYOP, or PSYOPper. Ask him to define a TAWW and its parts. That is the backbone of psyop. |

His class number will be something like XX-AA, where XX = the two digit class number and AA = the year he attended the school. These guys will be more than happy to help. BC |
