I thought the 101st was an elite unit. How did this lowlife troublemaker manage to stay in the unit?

I thought he wasn't a member of the 101st, but was with an Army engineering unit attached to the 101st. His educational background and his going into the Army as an enlisted man whispers "sleeper" to me.

Anyone else know what the deal is with that?

That was my first reaction when I heard about it, but after checking I found out that he was not in a "Major Unit". According to their website, this guy was under one of the "Separate Division Units" (326th Engineering Battalion) that provides engineering support for the 101st. It is possible, given the double degree, that those degrees may have given him a big edge on getting into the 101st when he enlisted. But being in the Govt. contracting business myself, I do have to ask the same question others have on here about why this guy enlisted when he could have made big bucks in the contracting arena.
