It seems that Sleeper has decided to go the lawyer route and he&#8217;s hired one, William Cassara, who claims to specialize in correcting military records;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cassara told us he has found that Sleeper\u2019s military records are indeed incomplete. He says he\u2019s received verbal confirmation that Sleeper attended Airborne School and is working to get written confirmation of that, as well as confirmation that Sleeper served with the 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning.<\/p>\n<p>Cassara says Sleeper went through the Ranger Indoctrination Program in late 1985\/early 1986.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know from his follow-up assignment at Hunter Army Airfield,\u201d Cassara told us, \u201che obviously was Ranger-qualified or else he wouldn\u2019t have had that assignment. But again, it\u2019s not in his records.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It could take months to get it cleared up, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce I get all of that documentation, we will petition the Army Board for the Correction of Military Records to correct his records to reflect those two schools. That process takes about a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The public will know much sooner than that, Cassara promised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let me help Cassara out &#8211; I think Sleeper did indeed go to the Basic Airborne Course, and then went to the 1st Bn Rangers at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, GA, and then he terminated his jump status because the Rangers were too hard for Mikey. When he did that, it&#8217;s as if he never attended BAC in his records. Sleeper was never Ranger-qualified, like hundreds of youngsters who are assigned to the regiment, but they have not yet attended Ranger School.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer is just helping Sleeper kick the can down the road hoping everyone forgets that his client is a liar. If there was actual proof that Sleeper isn&#8217;t lying about his military experience, we&#8217;d be looking at it right now. Question me about something I&#8217;ve said about my career and I&#8217;ll show you documentation. If I don&#8217;t have proof of something, I just don&#8217;t talk about it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The main bugaboo at this point is how long this has dragged on \u2013 which has only cast doubt on Sleeper. But his lawyer says he gets calls all the time from vets who served in the 1970s and \u201980s \u201cthat their military records are pretty devoid of any real detailed information about their service.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Horse.
