Someone sent us a link to an article in AZ Central<\/a> written by Joseph Girvan, an Army veteran. In the article he makes the claim several times that he was a Ranger while he was in the Army;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I served in the U.S. Army as a Ranger for 11 years, stationed in Fort Lewis and deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and South Korea. During that time, I learned a lot about the importance of teamwork and the key principles of leadership, mission and integrity.<\/p>\n

Ranger missions vary and may range from capturing enemy combatants or materials to rescuing prisoners of war and civilians. Because Rangers function as their own military entity, being a Ranger means you can be part of many different teams: reactionary force, security force, fire team, community relations and public relations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joseph Girvan is an IT project manager for Banner Health with 12 years of experience as an Army Special Forces Ranger team leader.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nA bio from another article<\/a> on the same subject;<\/p>\n

Girvan participated in the U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes Program during the summer of 2016, and earned a position as IT Project Manager with Banner Health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSomeone who knew him in the Army became suspicious, so we went looking for his records. Yes, he was in the Army, yes, he was an NCO, yes, he deployed from Fort Lewis to Afghanistan, I see service in Korea, but I don’t see a deployment to Iraq. He’s also not a Ranger. He was an administrative clerk;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

It looks like he was a good admin clerk. He had a good, important message in the article, but then he let his ego screw it all up by being something that he’s not. We hear that he claims Purple Hearts and multiple deployments, but there’s nothing about any of that in his records. <\/p>\n

Get back on message, Joe.<\/p>\n
