I found more info about his bio:

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~53~2709008,00.html

Seems like he managed to get college degrees based on his "experience".

====

"He graduated in 1965 and went to work in a local Caterpillar tractor factory.

He says he walked a dangerous point position in Vietnam, but his military records say he was a light-truck driver.

"When he came back from Vietnam, he turned into a radical," said Scott Davis, a high school classmate. "He was a war protester. He burned the American flag in front of the Peoria County Courthouse."

He also said he met representatives of the radical Weather Underground, and he said in 1987 that he had taught them how to make bombs. He has declined to comment since then on his 1987 claims.


He enrolled at Illinois Central, a community college, and then Sangamon State University in Springfield, Ill., where he graduated four years after the experimental alternative- education college was founded in 1970. At Sangamon, students received written evaluations but were given the choice of receiving grades along with them.

He said he received all A's and a B in his two years at the school, earning a bachelor's in technological communications in 1974 and a master's in communications theory in 1975, according to the University of Illinois at Springfield, which took over Sangamon in 1995."

Interesting. His own resume from 1980 says he was a public information specialist in Viet Nam, responsible for publishing the battalion newsletter. Interestingly, his resume doesn't mention what battalion.
