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

Fish story! To direct commission as an O5 he would have to have exceptional education and experience. Also over 39 yrs old needs age waiver. All this would take years to complete before he could be in Reserves or Active component. I base this on my daughter’s experience. She has MSN and NP with over 15 years nursing experience. Direct commission into Navy Reserve as O3. Took almost a year to get through application process.

Not Likely. I have seen surgeons, cancer specialist and certain other specialties come in at Major and maybe LTC. Any regular doctor comes in as a Captain ... the way to verify is aske for his/her ID.

I could be wrong, but I think by Federal statute you have to be able to get 20 years of service in by age 55, so 35 would be the cut off date. Joining at 45 at such a high rank, even for medical people with an age waiver (unless he was a neuro-surgeon and the service was desperate for neuro-surgeons) does sound very fishy. Actually it’s a Federal offense to impersonate an officer. If he insists, ask him to produce his appointment orders.

Nurses, Docs, Physical Therapists ALL.can be direct commissioned into the Army AMEDD. Their rank, at commissioning, depends on multiple factors; age, years of professional service, advanced degrees (MSN or PhD in Nursing &/or Public Health), published professional research, National/global academic research positions held, etc. yes, he could have been direct commissioned as an LTC.

Ask your HR Dept to look the person up in the officer active duty/reserve list.

Could he be an IMA attached to an AD unit? Also, I heard you can join the reserves in a medical profession with a higher rank, but as an 0-5 seems a bit high unless he is a Dr. 03-04 seems more appropriate unless he is a nurse practitioner, but still seems off.

My ex puts himself in other positions than what he really was a Dirt Bag SGT.

Take a look at this article. I think it might help: https://work.chron.com/pay-scale-army-doctors-7103.html

101st is an AD unit, not a Reserve component. He would also have a .mil and AKO account. Complete BS.

He not only has a BS in nursing, he has bs when he is telling you thisl.
