Is ther a way to find out if some one, Did go to and pass ranger school.
I know a person that has a history of taking credit for thing that he has not done.
Then reciveing award for the work of others.
We both Had the Victor Identiffier next to our Mos due to our duty station.
I was given pin point orders to my last unit because of this.
But I had to prove that I was Did not go to school by haveing some of my last leadership.
Contact the prior unit that had put the (V) next to my Mos.
I feel that this person RECORDS shoud be correted if he has lied about this.
I Have known lots of people that have earned there tab's.
I feel that if this person has lied about this to his recordes should be corrected.

I learned just because someone has orders does not mean anything. Orders can be rescinded or amended. If a person was paid for the assignment that is one verifier. Otherwise if it is a school the school completion documentation is a verifier.

SGT Charles Bartell - Bullshit. G is for a nasty leg that has successfully completed RANGER school. V is for AIRBORNE personnel that successfully complete RANGER school. This is the only way to get the identifiers. Being assigned to the RTB does not automatically give you the identifier. Pvt’s through SPC in the Regiment have to go to the school to be eligible to be a leader in one of the battalions. There are a lot of good RANGERS out there that have the scroll and not the tab.

Never said the Idenafier was automaically given, And this has nothing to do with Regiment except that the RTB's fall under 75th Ranger regiment. For command resions.
I am trying to figure out all you people are turning around what Ihave asked into complety difrrent shit. do you not understand english.

I was a medic at 6th RTB for years and never heard of anyone having a V identifier added to their ERB. HRC has to add the identifier these days in order to prevent things like this from happening. Unless you're talking about the duty MOS which is the SQI for the position being filled, not the SQI of the Soldier.
You should know this from working at RTB, but there is a tab check that's conducted during inprocessing and you can request one for someone at any time by contacting the RTB S3 shop.

SSG Alex Alexander absolutely
SQI is the special qualification identifier, such as Airborne, Ranger, instructor, DA select recruiter.
V is the Airborne Ranger SQI.
RTB is Ranger training brigade.
HRC is human resources command
ERB, for us older guys, is what replaced your 201 file.
S3 is the operations Staff section.

SFC (Join to see) I've seen a guy fake the ASI on his ERB, had orders and certificate in his OMPF too. He bought them off Ebay, and had them added. His initials and SSN on the upper right hand corner of the paper work was what tipped me off.

MSG (Join to see) I've definitely seen them faked on the ERB, just never accidentally added. We had a PSG at 3ID who faked it. He always struck me as a faker, but when you're a SPC you don't think a SFC is faking. Apparently it came to light when a guy who went to Ranger School with him informed everyone that the PSG had actually failed and been dropped.

I have nothing to add of any help but want to express my respect for you Rangers and other SF guys. As a 'leg' in a support unit, 1st COSCOM, I always looked up to you guys.
It pisses me off when some douche-bag makes claims that they didn't earn.

That is how I feel, I never went to RANGER school, But I did work at 6th RTB.
I was a Medic and saw on a daily basis how the students.
Minds and bodys where beat down by the traing with almost no sleep or food and that the constant Mission traing. The fall out rate from beging to end was high. A class would start with about 300 and end with about 90 to 125 at the most.
I can say with pride that I had freinds that had earned that ranger tab.

Easily verified by SRB/201 file. Unless he/she is a total poser and their response is "Classified".

Are you talking about the duty position or DMOS on the assignment information section of the ERB? If that is the case, that is not stolen valor, thats just someone coded and unqualified in a position. However, once you are coded as a V,G,P or whatever in the SQI section and you are not qualified, you are obligated to have it fixed. That is an S1 easy fix.

Ranger School or Rasp, ? You can get in to 75th via Rasp and never get a tab if you were an E4 and below, Earning the tab is entirely different, thousands get that and never earn the Tan Beret.

Yes, there is. however, it depends on if they are active duty or not. I had a friend who went through Ranger School in 1979. Yes, the Ranger School has records of him graduating. However, from going to paper to microfiche, to now an online records system. Things get mixed up. yes, they posted orders but orders can be rescinded or amended. Getting his record updated was a pain luckily he kept his copies of everything. He went through a records audit as I did before retirement.
When I retired I couldn't believe half the stuff that was missing from my file. Fear not though the Army does everything in triplicate. The School, 201 File, Soldier's Copy. Verification can take time if filing a FOIA request is required.
