Chester sends us some stuff on Sean Beery, the director of Volusia County Gun and Hunt Club<\/a> down in Florida. This is how he presents himself on his website – a Ranger-qualified scout sniper who jumped into Panama and led reconnaissance and infantry platoons;<\/p>\n

Well, his records tell a story about a perfectly honorable career, but one which bears little resemblance to his own narrative;

\nHis assignments show that he was probably in Desert Storm and earned a CIB, but the unit he served with during Operation Just Cause didn’t deploy to Panama and the unit that he deployed to Desert Storm with didn’t jump so there’s no combat star on his jump wings. There’s no Ranger School, so no Ranger tab.<\/p>\n

I doubt there were many 11C (Mortarman) slots for scout snipers and also doubt that he’d have led a platoon anytime during his four years of service.
