Judging from his awards, he did serve in Desert Storm (Southwest Asia Service Medal with two campaign stars) and he did serve with the 3rd Special Forces Group. He was a 72E &#8211; a Telecommunications Center Specialist (translation; TOC rat\/messenger boy\/professional gopher). Oh, yeah, he was a leg &#8211; he became a 5-jump chump in January, 1992. He has no special forces training, he admits that he didn&#8217;t earn the Ranger Tab in the news photo or the Special Forces tab in the color picture at the top of the page. In the news photo, it&#8217;s hard to tell, but he&#8217;s wearing a Bronze Star Medal, but he says that&#8217;s a mistake, because he thought that he was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal, so since he was in combat when &#8220;someone told&#8221; him that he&#8217;d earned it, he upgraded it to a BSM. Same with the Sergeant rank he&#8217;s wearing. &#8220;Someone told&#8221; him that he&#8217;d made the cutoff score, so he pinned it on. Funny, but he left the service five years later as an E-4, so I guess &#8220;someone told&#8221; him wrong.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=61496\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-61496\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-FOIA-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Dills FOIA\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-FOIA-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-FOIA-257x333.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-FOIA.jpg 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=61493\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-61493\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Assignments-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Dills Assignments\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Assignments-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Assignments-431x333.jpg 431w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Assignments.jpg 1607w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=61494\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-61494\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Awards-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Dills Awards\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Awards-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Awards-257x333.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Awards.jpg 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=61495\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-61495\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Training-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Dills Training\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Training-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Training-431x333.jpg 431w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Byron-Dills-Training.jpg 1607w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>He also embellished his record with his classmates claiming service in Panama and Somalia.
