Can anyone explain if this guy I know is pretending to be a LTC?

An old friend of mine randomly posted a photo of himself in OCP’s with LTC rank. He told everyone that he just joined the Army Rerserves. I asked him what unit, and he told me it’s the 101st Airborne. He has a BS in nursing. He’s 45 years old. He’s not on ako or on enterprise. My question is, does this story smell fishy?

While it is possible to come in at certain specialties as high as O-6, the odds a person with a BSN came in as an O-5 as a Nurse with out an MSN, and in the Reserves title 32, not in a state military reserve. A state military reserve force (SMRF), is not part of the DoD, and can do really weird things. Not un common to hear of an E-4 going SMRF and coming out with a Major's grade. Depending on vacancies, and skill set. If he is a SMRF (in California we refer to them as Smurf's) it is possible, keep in mind most of these people augment the National Guard, in training, run ranges, help with annual medicals, and things of this nature. The state may use them in the event of a disaster and the guard is tied up with deployments. Now

That’s still really odd though... and the fact that he took down those pics after I asked about them....

101st being an active duty unit aside.... if he's not on AKO or Enterprise, he's full of excrement.

LMAO. I was in a bar and this anal orifice I overheard was telling a girl that she did not understand what combat does to a guy. As a combat veteran I following his buddy to the latrine (bar latrine) and told him to tell his friend that if he wanted to discuss combat to talk to me and if he did not give the correct answer I would kick his ass. Both hauled ass post haste. My friends ,a retired LTC and a BG, asked me what I said to the guys. I told them that this is not a friendly place for combat veterans. We had a good laugh because the three of us were combat veterans.

I just didn't want to lose what I'd sent...further. Do you know where jes actually assigned? Could youmask? Could you check? Would you he allowed to check? Obviously, there are privacy aspects, that just also entered my thought process, as I'd read what you'd sent, as well, sending again...
