I got his bio as well I just need some verification to what is written. I'm not a green beanie guy, but I can smell a bum and this guy isn't right. Like if he went through the q course how come he hasn't remained in the ops community? Does anyone tab out and go back to an MI job? someone who claims to be SF, Ranger and Scuba qualed not to mention air force special ops and infantry Officers basic course. and Jumpmaster qualed? Something isn't right.
Just sayn'

He could have earned the SF Tab as an EM before getting commissioned.

That's true, WCH. If he went through as an officer, he should have said SFOC. All of my Hooah schools were as an EM, not as a 66F (Nurse Anesthetist.) But I could still list them, even if I was the new "Hot Lips" Hoolihan.

No group time, numbered group affiliation, or ODA number...
...what long tabber goes to CDQC without an ODA number on his resume?



Maybe he signed up to be in SF but after SFQC and CDQC and got redirected; you know what they say...
"If you like your duty assignment, you can keep it. No matter what"

Then they blame your reassignment on the branch manager.
