Need a check on a possible fake Ranger...

Post by johnnyreb24 »

Not sure where I should post this...

This guy was in Army from 1988-1996. Claims he was a Ranger, 82nd airborne, 2nd Ranger battalion but was attached to 3rd battalion and served in Somalia during "Black Hawk Down" where he was wounded. Also says he was a Captain. Im not a Ranger but im just curious bout this guy....His name is Michael Kelley and his birthday is 12-15-1971. Not sure if this is where I post to have a check ran on this guy? Thanks guys.

Simple math proves he's a poser. The guy didn't turn 17 until the end of '88, which means he wouldn't have graduated HS yet, let alone college. Call him out on it, this is an easy one.
