Jerry A. Vroombout; Yet another phony SEAL

See, this is what the SEALs get for all of those books and movies – they’re like fleas. Jerry Vroombout’s records were sent to us by OEF Veteran and he ran them by our friends at SOCNET. But he’s sharing this DD214 with anyone who’ll look at it;

A couple things about the DD214 – the separation date (block 12b) is November 1982, unless the dude time traveled 12 years ahead, the Kuwait Liberation Medal wasn’t offered to US personnel until July 1994, because we had to fight that whole liberation of Kuwait first. I’ve never seen the Basic Airborne Course called “Static Line Parachutist”

OEF Veteran says that when asked about his class number for BUD/S, Vroombout said “98” which would have been the wrong year for his DD214, he missed it by a number. “99” might have been correct. Here’s what he wears in public;

And here’s what his FOIA says about his career;

Here’s what WIKI says about that “Battle “E”” thing;

The Battle Effectiveness Award recognizes sustained superior performance in an operational environment within a command.[1] To qualify for Battle “E” consideration, a ship must win a minimum of four of the six Command Excellence awards (Maritime Warfare (Black “E”), Engineering/Survivability (Red “E”), Command and Control (Green “E”), Logistics Management (Blue “E”), CNSF Ship Safety (Yellow “E”), Efficiency (Purple “E”)),[2] and be nominated by their immediate superior in command. Eligibility for the award demands day-to-day demonstrated excellence in addition to superior achievement during the certifications and qualifications conducted throughout the year. A ship’s performance during training exercises, weapons inspections, and tactical readiness examinations are among the 16 different areas that are considered in the competition.

So, it’s not what it sounds like to us drier service members. I guess it’s like a year-long AGI.
