You have any claims that he made?
you hit on the reason for my curiosity. Someone who has been in the Army a while, usually has more than one duty assignment. OTOH, if you were a signal or supply guy, but wanted to give the impression to those not familiar with the Army that you were possibly more experienced in a certain MOS than you really were .... without being untruthful, this would be the way to go about it.

Being an ex Armor guy, my assignment history is with armor units, and armor related assignments. If it came out that I was an ordnance guy assigned to the contact team of a tank battalion, I would lose points off my "badass" index.

With a claim of "Following a military career with the U.S. Army, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), he became " that would imply to someone that he was more than just passing through 10th Group.
