Someone sent us a Facebook link<\/a> to this Robert Fritts fellow. To hear him tell it, he’s “tabbed out”, he earned three awards of the CIB, Senior Master Jumpwings with a star for a combat jump;<\/p>\n

He also claims that he was a team leader in the 1\/75th Rangers;<\/p>\n

Well, his records tell another story;<\/p>\n

He was a commo guy in the 31-series of Military Occupational Specialties, an honorable way to serve your country, but he’s not a Ranger or Special Forces Qualified. He has a set of jump wings, but it looks like he’s five-jump-chump – no Airborne assignments, so no “Master Blaster wings” like he claims, and no “mustard stain”. Germany, Missouri, Germany again and then Fort Knox, KY. It looks like he deployed to Desert Storm with an armor unit from Germany – so not even one CIB. You have to be serving as an infantryman in a battalion-level or lower infantry unit to earn a CIB – he was a commo guy in an Armor unit, so, no CIB.<\/p>\n

Again, I keep telling these guys, in order to have three CIBs, you’d have to have been in the Korean War…or World War II to have three. That was my trigger moment on this fellow.<\/p>\n

Someone in the comments in one of his pictures calls him Sergeant Major, but I don’t see him calling himself one, so we’ll just leave it at the fact that he got out as a Sergeant First Class. His 2-1 says that he was discharged as an E-6 after ten years, but his FOIA says that he got out in 2005, so I’m guessing that he went to the Reserves or the Guard to finish out his twenty years and he got himself promoted to E-7 there. Also, there are some Navy awards in there, so he may have been in the Navy before or after his active Army service.<\/p>\n

It’s guys like Fritts, here, who will eventually drive me out of this business, because I’m sick and tired of people who can’t be happy with their service and they have to make up wild-ass shit to make themselves feel important. The dude needed TWO PAGES for his FOIA for all of his awards, for Pete’s sake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
