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

Well since this post just popped up for me..
I seen it first hand last year working at CRC at Fort Bliss for the year Full blown Colonels coming just in to deploy overseas because they are specialized doctors. I seen mostly O5-O-7 rank coming in that were Doctors or nurses ect with no military background just to do a contract overseas in a medical facility. Most them I chatted with told me they would and never would have a command ect they just signed a contract to go overseas and work in the medical field. So it could happen especially when you have a certain skillset the government needs.

Now I don't believe the 101st has a reserve unit but could or could be attached to them overseas that I do not know.

Fishy as tuna left in the sun.

Yes it is a smelly fish story

Possibly, but not as a Lieutenant Colonel. Nurses would be commissioned as lieutenants. See Robert Delano's answer to a similar question below.

Yes and no.

Tennessee and Kentucky National Guard Soldiers don 101st Airborne Division patch

Reserve and National Guard units are participating in a pilot program that integrates all three components under “Compo 1 2 3”.

You will still administratively be under the control of the TN ARNG or under whatever reserve unit is participating, but you will be under the training umbrella of the 101st ABN.

Select Active Duty units are doing the same thing under Nationals guard divisions:

It seems he has a BS, in Nursing and in Life.

Ask in a polite way to see what the new ID cards look like. They have a DOD number and not an SSN or Serial number. Sounds to me is like an X- friend of mine, retired Major that brags about his combat tours. He is actually on the democrat ticket running for congress. He has a shitload of ribbons and one of them appears to be a Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. He was five years old when my friend, the last one off the roof in 1975 unassed the AO. However I could be mistaken but as a Viet Nam veteran myself, it sure looks like one. He also stated that he was on the promotion list to LTC after CGSS and said his PH packet was still in process. Which he did attend. He also stated on his financial disclosure statement required when you run for public office that his wife was being paid as his caretaker. He has blocked me from any comments. I told his young ass to quit bragging about himself. I went to school with his parents back in the day. His name is Richard Ojeda and is running for Congress against a Republican in WV-3. For good laughs just check him out. The POTUS called him a wack job. His wife even posted that he suffered two TBI's but he made the cut and is the only democrat on the ballot. Go figure. I am sad for him and years ago tried to advise him to STFU about his combat exploits and let others praise him. He appears to be narcissistic and pumps iron. I feel sad for him. Richard Ojeda is his name. If you don't believe this just google him on FB. I grew up in the County he lives in. I do not condone pretention. Sorry for the long spiel but I have spoken. I am too old for BS.

He only has a BS in Nursing??

Is his last name Ravnsburg?

Yup. No way he entered the Army Reserves as a Lieutenant Colonel. It's impossible. Also, 5he 101st is not a Reserve Unit.

Very...If he just joined the US Army Reserves, it does not happen as an LTC Rank!
