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?

I have met many of them. First SEAL team consisted of around 25 or so fellows, not sure, thus far I met over 800 of them

I would approach the guy with my military ID in hand and say "I hate my pic in this...do you mind if I can compare yours with mine just to see if they did a better job???"

All I can say ma'am is I spent so much time in the back of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner line in basic training because I struggled with getting the officers flash cards so send him to me I can tell you if he is the real thing lol just saying

Sounds suspect, shouldn't be hard to verify unfortunately thier are dishonest people running around pretending to something thier not, it happens in the civilian world as well, I uncovered a person running for political office claiming to be a retired undersheriff ,2nd highest ranking person in sheriffs department, he had fake credentials etc., turned out he retired from county as a dog catcher/animal control officer, info was released and he was never seen again

I absolutely hate stolen valor. This includes veterans claiming to be a rank or MOS they've never held. If you wanna be an officer or NCO; join and work to get promoted. If you wanna be a SEAL, go join them. Same with Rangers and SF.

Sounds like his BS degree is BS also.
I called 101st Airborne division HQ. SGT I spoke with said they have no reserve component.
Make him show an ID card or orders to reserve duty.
