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

45 years old is the dead giveaway

There are so many people have that much shame to pretend to be something they not.

Probably because it is fishy! The 101st is an active duty, (Not reserve division.

No because in the medical field you can enter the service in rank as high as O-6 if you have in demand skills and the army agrees to appoint you to that position. I had a doctor who entered as an O-6 cause he was a board certified cardiac surgeon and the army offered him an appointment as a COL. It's not unheard of so please do you're homework before you slander a person's service to their country with no evidence of wrong doing. But if you have proof of a forged transcript or other fraudulent behavior then by all means go ahead. I made Corporal with less than a year because in times of war, anyone can be appointed to a command position at the discretion of the armed forces.

Yes, if he's in the Army Reserve, he can't be in the 101st unless he's deployed with the 101st. I also doubt that the Army would direct commission him to O-5 as a nurse. And, if he's not on AKO or Enterprise, then he might not be in the Army. Email him using the his first.last [login to see] to see if you get a bounce back.

Your friend is full of shit!

I had a GP MD that volunteered to serve during the gulf war he was commissioned to LTC. But I have to believe that sort of thing is VERY rare.

Sounds like BS in nursing is just that BS Ma'am but Call him out. If he is for real he will back it up with something tangable. Last I Knew the 101st Prefers soldiers that are active. Top Question is did he join as a LTC or was he some kind of Military before that? Never heard in my 22yrs of service a person being Hired first time out as a LTC Nurse. DR. Maybe but guess it could happen things have change a lot in 40+ Years.

Fishy is an understatement. Smells like total bull. Call him on it and if possible get him arrested.

Could be fishy. But, yes, it’s possible.
