The folks at MilitaryPhony.com<\/a> send us their work on Oscar Rodriguez<\/a>.\u00a0 Oscar has several middle initials listed – V, J and O – but most often he does not have a middle initial listed at all.\u00a0 Oscar is 60 years old as of April 2019.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez has photos on his Facebook page that imply he was a Sergeant of Marines and served as a Recon Marine.<\/p>\n

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

He also implies that he jumped out of airplanes with a dog strapped to him.<\/p>\n

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

He also claims this is his RECON unit doing “Spy” (sic) extraction. It is actually called \u201cSPIE\u201d for Special Patrol Insertion\/Extraction (SPIE) system.<\/p>\n

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

On his LinkedIn profile, he details his military assignments and claims 20 years of military service, which would imply a retirement…<\/p>\n

Here are the two emblems above…<\/p>\n

After discovering that Oscar Rodriguez was not showing up in the BUD\/S-SEAL database, his official military records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.<\/p>\n

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

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

Rodriguez was in the US Marine Corps for two years.\u00a0 He was discharged from 1st Recon Battalion which is different than the 1st Force Recon that he claimed.<\/p>\n

He was a field radio operator and was most likely in a support role.\u00a0 He has no training or qualifications for the Recon MOS.\u00a0 There is a possibility that he may have been part of the SPIE exercise above since he was in the unit, but this would be hard to prove or disprove.<\/p>\n

He was discharged as a Lance Corporal (E-3) vs. the implied Sgt (E-5) in the one Facebook photo.<\/p>\n

There were no Navy records on him so the SEAL Team III claim is doubtful.<\/p>\n

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

You can say one thing for Oscar – he is ambitious with his claims.\u00a0 Two special warfare designations across two services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
