Need Help on the “General”
Evidence suggests that he served in the 230th MP Company from roughly December of 1987 through October of 1990.
I need info on that company, and/or some contacts. Can anyone find out where they were stationed, where they deployed, etc?

It might be worth the while to see if anyone can help out through that portal.

Well, I guess the question in my mind is Alvin W.K. Chan really Patrick McManus? Or is this an identity of a real person who he assumed? And was it Alvin or Patrick who claims to have been on the Stanford Swim Team?

Hmmm, no mention on his bio of being Gen. Powell’s PSD there. Anyone care to check on him gong through OCS, Class 1-1990 or whether he “retrained” to SF branch. Nah, not worth the bandwidth, I would guess.
Contact Michael McManus
Forgot to say, he has a contact on the MPA page, but I would imagine he’s having “trouble” with his e-mails about now.

Commenter “Neumatic” did some good googling and found a Houston phone number to an “Alvon Chan”:
713-869-8545
This googles back to a valid address in Houston (just off 610 in the Heights area).
And the Harris County Appraisal District website (property) Owner search on thier website:

…shows that an “Alvin Chan” was on the 2009 tax rolls at the same address.
