So being in the reserves makes me think he had time to get jailed. Doesn’t look like ‘75 was a good year for him. But, he never got further than E-1? Did he have a reduction in rank for being AWOL? In any case, a proven liar.
He definitely is one or both (I say both) of two things:
1) A dimwit who could not get beyond E1
2) A Brig Rat who did get beyond E1 but kept getting busted back to E1
I think he is a dimwit Brig Rat. I knew a couple of Brig Rats, and they weren’t universally stupid, just engaged in bad behavior out of weakness (such as being UA)
But there are also dimwit Brig Rats out there too, and I think he may have been one.
If he wasn’t such a Leftist piece of crap, I might well sympathize and think “Well, the service can be hard, but it is harder when you are a stupid dimwit...”
