I am curious as to how you are now promotable after only being a SFC for a year? Also in your short lived career you have seen to have attended almost every school in the Army all the while deploying to dang near every place in the world. I have called the Sapper Leader Course and am awaiting the phone call back to see if you ever attended that course or not.

Look, I am not out here trying to out people but after going threw your profile and counting up all the "SCHOOLS" you have been to there is just no way you are who you say you are.

I looked at your friends list, you have no friends in the SF side of the house, and your spelling and grammar are horrible based on the two posts in which you have commented on. I am not a hater and I am not trying to call you out so to speak, but dude come on. There is no way possible you could have done all that and been to all those places in like 8 years. You list several schools that take over a month alone to complete. Plus you have been to every jumpmaster course in the Army and those require a certain amount of jumps to attend. I can go on and on with this. Bottom line is that you need to come clean with this.

Just curious, but how can you post that you aren't trying to call him out, when that is exactly what you are doing?

At this point you have no real proof, just speculation. If you think he isn't what he says he is, then contact his CoC and report it. I am sure if his profile is false it will be dealt with appropriately.

Regardless, at this point, you are calling an NCO Senior to you a liar and showing him large amounts of disrespect.

I normally stay away from this and without much more evidence, I would say something smells funny. Made E5 in June 2011 and was pinned E6 in Feb 2012. While his profile is private unless connected therefore not allowing those of us not connected with him to see the schools he lists; I find it hard to believe that you can go from E5 to E6 in 9 months. And then pick up E7 one year later. Maybe he did fast track; maybe he did go to all those schools but for someone to enter the service in 2008 and stand with E7 on his chest in 2013...I think Audie Murphy didn't even move up that fast.

I would have probably just sent a message to admin about this or to him personally. Just me.

We found other causes for concern, though he did verify with a real .mil that matched his name. The user has been suspended while we investigate.

In the future, if you see a questionable profile, please just flag him/her from his profile page and we follow up immediately. Thanks.

My two cents for this thread, I'm not big on public shamming, but I do believe that the hammer be brought down properly when someone knows they are doing wrong. Next time someone has a verifed account and looks to be stealing valor with a name try this source here, or maybe the Admins already do, so flag the account, but more justice needs to happen.
