Hello - I am a retired Marine and just trying to help a friend sort some things out. So thought id ask the source.
Her ex (now deceased) claimed to be a Green Beret with specialized cold weather and airborne training. While talking to someone in a bar that said he was also a GB she said "My ex was too" he asked what the exes second language was....She said he did not speak a second language.
So shes just trying to sort out the truth.
I have seen a Delayed enlistment certificate from 81. also an honorable discharge from the Reserves in 87. he also told her he served 6 years so that makes sense
- several 82nd airborne patches and a photo or two in maroon beret - no green beret.
My guess is he was 82nd for a few years then got out and entered reserves for a few? and was a wanna be GB - or maybe even a straight reservist.......are there reservist 82nd soldiers?
The thing I'm pretty sure of is that he was NOT a Green Beret,,,your thoughts?
Thanks for the help! Jim
