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?

Sounds like everyone I've run into whose either been a sniper or a navy seal. If this were the case, we'd of won every war single handedly from the civil war, to present day. Really chaps my behind!

CPT Salisbury, a few things come to mind concerning your question: 1.) He is purposefully joking with you - if he has that kind of relationship with you. 2.) Perhaps he has a medical degree or is specialized as a Nurse with advanced training and education to have received a Direct Commission in the Reserves. 3.) Is he with DHS-CBP wearing LTC rank - the same as GS13 and GS14 "rank" worn on CBP uniforms... their Agents and Officers sometimes wear military style uniforms and flight suits?
Hopefully he knows better than to try to convince anyone he is a Field Grade Commissioned Officer if he is not playing a prank. That would constitute a violation of Impersonating a Military Officer which is a federal crime.

The Army has a speciality recruiter program for nurses. These are specifically Nurse Recuriters and your every day field recruiter usually won’t touch a qualified nurse. I do know that there are a lot of benefits and perks that go along with being recruited as a nurse but you would need to talk to a nurse recruiter to see if someone can be brought on as on O-5. Getting on AKO account is something that takes processing so even that could be true. If he JUST joined the Army Reserves, he could still be sifting through who he is assigned to and what his duties and duty assignment would be. He could even be activated as a USAR Nurse Officer (similar to 2LT’s that graduate from ROTC and OCS.
Bottom line is, there are too many IFs to give a definite answer about his status. It would take some answers to specific questions.
