A federally certified hostage survival instructor, Mr. Newman is a decorated, retired parachute- and combatant-diver qualified United States Marine with extensive, global operational experience in reconnaissance, special operations, counterterrorism, counterguerrilla warfare, and wilderness survival, and is a ground combat veteran.
You would never catch a Marine describing himself as "ground combat veteran."
And there's no such thing as "combatant-diver" qualification.
And the rest of the resume is puffery intended to make him look like Rambo.
He's a "Pogue Warrior."
