One of our members met a Marine a couple years ago in central Texas, named Eddie T. Gomez. Gomez claimed to be a former Ranger qualified Force Recon Marine. When questioned about his Ranger status, the answers he gave didn’t add up. Our member was able to retrieve his social security number and birth name.
A check was done at Ranger Training Brigade spanning ten years before and after the known enlistment time of this fellow. The check showed that Gomez never attended Ranger School.
While Gomez did in fact serve in the Marine Corps during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, conversations with Force Recon Marines to prove Force Recon status have also had negative results.
