Cory Alan Jackson is not an 11B Infantryman
There has been some discussion in the military internet community in regards to Cory Alan Jackson of Range Time, a tactical shooting school. Apparently, he hung his reputation on being an 11B Army infantryman, but folks around the internet have unearthed information to the contrary, folks like SOFREP. I’ve been sitting on this for a few months until it all shakes out, and apparently it has. here, Jackson claims to be an 11B;
Jackson claims that he was discharged because of a medical condition that he concealed at the time of his enlistment;
But the truth is that he was discharged because he went AWOL/Deserter from basic training;
In the great scheme of phonies, this is probably a minor offense to many of you, but, we’re talking about someone who is training people to use firearms in the real world. There are so many choices out there, I’d prefer an instructor who didn’t make a commitment to the nation’s security and then walked away from it and pretend that he didn’t walk away. But your mileage may vary.
But the fact that he and his friends went to the mattresses in this controversy says something about them, too. He could have admitted to being a shitbag AWOL basic trainee and the discussion would all be over by now, so poor judgement. An abject lesson.

It’s called trying too hard and it’s a “Clue”
/poshitter
An almost 7-month absence, terminated by apprehension. Sounds more like desertion than AWOL, in my opinion. And I’d be surprised if he got a general discharge. That long of an absence most likely got him an OTH, assuming he was discharged administratively rather than court-martialed.
Yeah but, he’s wearing multi cam trousers, a cool tac operators cover, bad ass t-shirt AND has tough guy tattoos. Seems legit….
That’s why I’m not convinced until I see the “paracord” keychain-survival braid.
Aahhh, the paracord keychain survival braid! Totally missed that. Yeah, definitely a poser. Jeez, doesn’t he know ALL proper poser uniform items and accessories?
The paperwork seems to indicate that he ran from the reception station-hell, you can’t even say that he was AWOL from basic training exactly, he didn’t even make it that far.
I don’t know. 30th AG has been known to break even the toughest of men…
Vance…Thank you. Now I have to clean the coffee off my screen! 😀
sadly Vance, I was stuck at the 30th for about three weeks, and I saw at least 2 suicide attempts (you could always tell who that was because they were sleeping on the floor next to the Staff Duty desk) and one or two mental freak outs. Ever since then, the smell of moth balls gives me bad flash backs to Johnson Hall.
Andy, me too. Jesus I hated 30th AG. I got there in SEP and they ran out of money so I didn’t head downrange to E 1/19 until October 6. It was brutal. Add in the fun that I came in as an E4, and thus ended up in charge of daily floor buffing details. No one would listen to anything I said (why would they) and so I ended up becoming an expert at buffing the floors and being blown off.
The long walk down that ramp into the basement….where are we going? The worst part of that floor buffing detail (beside have no clue how to operate it) was trying to drive those buffers in between those giant wooden benches.
I hate you for making me remember 30th AG. Thankfully my stay there was short. Before I went active duty I was in the Indiana Guard and did split option training. They pushed us through quick since we had to get back to high school.
HAHAHHA! Looking at the documents, it looks like he went AWOL from the reception station (30th AG). Yea, I got a lot of weapons training while I was there. Wonder how long he stumbled around Sand Hill till he found his way down to the highway? That or maybe he grabbed a taxi near the Shoppette.
I’m not going to lie, back in 92 I arrived at the 30thAG right before the Labor Day weekend. We got our heads shaved, just PTs issued, screamed and yelled at, then everything shut down for the long weekend. That was the longest, most miserable weekend of my life. But you know what? I gutted it out, unlike this idiot.
I got there in June of 92. I will always remember the lady with the voice box asking if I wanted boxers or briefs.
holy crap.I forgot all about her. I walked up to her station and when she put that thing up her neck and started talking in that hollow electronic voice, I think I just barely kept my poker face on.
I remember the voice box lady!
She was rocking that creepy cigarette robot voice before it was cool!
Okay…I amd reading his orders, and the warrent, and it it occurs to me that he deserted from fucking RECEPTION STATION! Holy shit, THAT is funny! What a loser.
This would qualify for the Friday Funnies if he wasn’t involving the general public and firearms.
ok, now I remember where I’ve heard of this dbag. Another forum I hang out on had a thread about him. The thing that really makes money for this guy I guess is the youtube videos he makes with his girlfriend. Just search Cory and Rangetime on youtube.
That’s insane. How do you desert from Reception? And why?
I don’t understand.
Ah. wait. He must have really missed his milk and cookies.
I was told I could petition for an upgrade in discharge status after so long.
That particular urban legend is tougher to kill than a cockroach. I’ve had to correct that misunderstanding with some non-rates that were pondering how bad things would be if they up and left.
Oh, you might be able to petition for it, but good fucking luck getting it. And if you do, get a Powerball ticket at the same time.
From about.com:
While anyone can apply to the appropriate Discharge Review Board (DRB) for a discharge upgrade, or a change in the discharge reason, the individual must convince the board that their discharge reason or characterization was “inequitable” or “improper.”
So yeah. You’ll need proof on a level that even God can’t find fault in it.
I would bet that all those Sgt. level and above people will be lining up to give this fuck a better discharge…
That’s right up there with the stress card myth.
Well he’s just training other people to shoot. People who think he was more than a reception station runaway, seems like he is claiming military status for financial gain. Not sure where that falls in the great scheme of liars and frauds…probably more than the beggar who claims he will work for food and probably less than Bernie Madoff (still cracks me up that a con man who stole billions is named Madoff).
At least he’s not wearing a badge and a gun like the liars on the Ferguson MO PD, 10% of whom are known perjurers. Thankfully they had an understanding judge who felt that “while they may be perjurers their perjury was too minor to pursue” (in his own words)….so Mr. Jackson is at least better than those guys as he’s not arresting innocent men and charging them with bleeding on a uniform while being beaten.
I agree. Bravo and Kudos to you for your comment sir.
Although that is roughly equivalent to prefering a red hot poker over a cactus in the ass, I would tend to agree…at leasthe isnt out violating peoples rights. Just making money off of his lies…
DD FORM 53 nice an simple an AWOL/Deserted.
The sound of a good wet flush kinda sounded like a Giduck.
It ain’t easy being me. Even I was able to grit out 58 days of basic….didn’t finish anything but the 58 days, but still.
sincerely
John “Faker 6” Giduck
As a bit of a side-note, does he also sell weapons as part of his business? If so, he more than likely would need to have an FFL.
There are a few blocks on the application form (Form 7), that if he filled out truthfully, would probably have disqualified him from obtaining an FFL.
Hmmmm, the plot thickens.
Can he claim a purple heart if the vaccination guns (or whatever you call them things) made his arm bleed? They were brutal
That big frozen penicillin in the culo was worse.
Sep 1976 FT Lost In The Woods Reception Station… Some guy ahead of me flinched at the second gun station, laced his arm open. Blood running down his arm dripping on the floor. I made sure I stood ‘real’ still…
I was an E5 at 46th AG, Knox, from ’08 – ’10. PTRP. Broke soldier intake. Best job (or worst!) for a Scout…if I EVER came across one of the jokers I cycled out for 1) suicide attempt, 2) being broke, 3) lying about records, 4) lying about anything to get out, and they were an instructor claiming to be what they weren’t, I’d want to crush their ribs. Those stinky privates used to tell me, “I’m 19D, sergeant.” No you’re not you little prick stain…you’re a civilian in ACU’s. Until you graduate, you’re shit. STFU.
What I simply cannot understand is why the individuals that pay good money to attend these so-called training schools just go to their local Armed Forces Career center and enlist. They have had the last 14 years to get some damned good experience with the training that Uncle Sam provides.
How many of these shit bags have Jonn profiled in the last year that provide this so-called high speed low-drag schools? God help those that wasted good money if they ever have to use what these shit bags have taught them in a real life situation.
America really is the land of great opportunity.
A man can get elected POTUS without any real experience in running anything. Or get the Nobel Peace Prize for not doing anything.
A man can be an 11B just for walking in (and out again) the door of the receiving depot.
What a place! 😉
If I’m reading this correctly, he entered Reception BN on the 11th of April and deserted on the 24th. Why? Brutal KP from hell, or did he want his Mommy after spending a day on leaf raking and police call?
He never got the hang of shoving his wet-weather top into his cargo pocket while simultaneously reciting the army values AND using the clearing barrel. Too much to think about. I can picture his foggy BCG’s, and worried look on his stupid mug.
Jesus, even Bradley Manning was man enough to nut it through reception.
Yeah, Jackson, I went there, ya pussy.
Must have been [shudder] “The CADRE”!!
Yeah, I went there.
I’m hoping the Vigo County prosecutor picks this up and prosecutes this turd. He’s ben using his phony grunt persona to shake people down for money. If that isn’t stolen valor, I don’t know what is.
Here’s his company site and Youtube channel. Somewhere on the Youtube channel he talks about being a grunt and being medically discharged.
He’s still telling the lie about being medically discharged two weeks ago.

Yuck!!
“I’ve got a pen somewhere”
How do you not know where every thing is in your own rig? And I’m sorry I don’t think I could wear a chest rig with out a plate carrier. And it wouldn’t be set up so gay like that
I would like to see how useful that chest rig of his would be after after he had to low crawl just a few yards in some mud.
Nice sunglasses…I bet those are official high speed issue….
…Does that fucking retard have a goddamn knife tucked into his fucking pants?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. That first video is like a ‘what not to do’ for everything they’re doing.
Yes and he HAS A revolver, because he’s totally awesome. Also everyone knows that reloading 1 round in the middle of the fight, while standing out in the open is the way the pros do it.
The worst part is people still defending. D-bags like James Yeager made an entire video of about basically saying he doesn’t care because because he brings him business, but I wouldn’t expect anything else from James “run away from contact” Yaeger. It’s the real veterans on youtube defending this guy saying he didn’t steal valor by claiming to be a grunt during a war……
What a scumfuck. The people defending and rationalizing his bullshit claims are even more scumfuck.
More info regarding both: http://sofrep.com/36718/stolen-valor-cory-alan-jackson/
Yeager is another A type personality Jack-hole. He is the same retard that made that idiotic video after some gun control regulation was passed about shooting people.
His take is on it is that the guy is “good for business” and “knows his skills”. Translation: The guy helps him make money so fuck the fact he is a lying sack of shit.
Fucker couldn’t handle Reception Station and deserted…that’s just WAY too funny…
It seems Jackson’s range was shut down due to noise complaints. He had to appear before the zoning commission. Rumor has it that a former LEO sits on the commission and had gotten word of Jackson’s lies and desertion. This former LEO supposedly shut him down.
Fucked up like Hogans Goat. I have one in the hopper that came to me of all things, asking for help on upgrading their discharge. Also been telling people they went beyond the wire & insinuating they were a combat veteran when the truth be known (I have records) this individual was REMF, Kuwait, caught a boatload of AR-15’s and never went any further than main gate.
A bunch of low information, no nothing, CoD playing morons that watched a few of his videos “liked” them. What’s really funny is that those types are defending him, yammering on about his great training. It goes without saying that they’ve never served, so have no idea what good training actually is. They never stopped to ask themselves why they’d want to take tactical training from someone who’s never been truly tactical, as in the military. Jackson claims to have so many hundreds of hours of training. Well no shit. Anyone can watch a Magpul video and learn the same shit this clown teaches.
because a bunch of internet jerkwads think his woman is hot. hell, most people seem to think that if he wasn’t whoring her out in his youtube vids, he wouldn’t have as many subscribers/comments/likes
There are quite a few who believe that, and they may be right. Even though I live about 45 minutes away from his (former) facility, I’ve never taken nay training with him. Of those who have, the review is mixed. It seems that those with no real experience love his courses, while those who do have experience pretty much say he’s an amateur who’s only parroting what other, better instructors have already taught.
This is a case to where you better have had a come to Jesus moment with your self. And follow through ……
I have a serious question. He has two ’employees’ or ‘trainers’ other than himself and his wife, neither of whom seem qualified to teach anything. Has anyone vetted the claims that one is an infantryman and the other a combat medic?
I’m just asking because liars of a feather tend to flock together. Maybe someone should reach out to the individuals in question and ask how they feel about being associated with a phony?
Ho-lee SHEEPSHIT, that has GOT to be some of the moste metrosexual Soldier of Fortune-reading wannabe-looking excuse of firearms training I’ve ever seen! I could only stomach about 90 seconds of that video, that was enough for me. Safety? The dipshit had his face almost at the end of the shotgun barrel, it looked like one flinch in the wrong direction would have sent the contents of his skull downrange in a Rorschach Pattern!
11B Son.
