TACP then a SERE instructor is what he's stated, don't think he's gone into much detail past that. Wonder if the guy will actually release it if that's exactly what his DD-214 says or if he'll pretend he never said anything and hopes nobody remembers
He was a SERE instructor for a stupid long time, cold weather specialist specifically, there's an article where he was interviewed about it, before he got popular. At some point he went officer and shortly after he got JTAC qualified ( I assume it was a stipulation for his promotion. One of my acquaintances did a similar thing for his promotion , but in his case he had to learn a foreign language.)
The thing that kind of rubs me the wrong way about his claims is that, he has posted very consistently with the exception of a few months period. Now that fits really well with him going to officer school and getting JTAC qualified, but it doesn't at all fit with the TACP pipeline, at least from what i've read about it. He's also not been shy about saying he's on officer, but he's fairly squirrely in regards to JTAC and TACP stuff. I'll give Garand credit, he doesn't seem stupid enough to verbally claim things, but he'll play the part all day long if he has to, and let people make the assumption afterwards.
Who knows maybe i'm wrong, but i get the sense if you were an AFSPECWAR Officer, you wouldn't have time to make meme videos and the Air Force wouldn't let you rot in some base for years with 0 deployments.
Edit: I remember seeing a podcast with Travis Haley too where he mentions being in the Navy for a short period of time so i don't even know where to slot that in. In short the service record he claims just doesn't make sense to me.
