I’ve reported what I know, nothing more nothing less. After becoming an Infantry, Father Corapi went to Fort Knox which is mostly Armor, as an Infantryman. There’s no report of what he did there, no report of why he went there, nothing, but it’s different and weird.

I know how to read a personnel file and know these posts. There’s nothing that I’ve found on line showing any training going on at Fort Knox except for Cavalry Scouts and Tankers.

What can be known is that Army Basic training, during the Vietnam era, was 8 weeks (2 months). It appears Basic training has been shortened since then.

How long would, or could AIT have taken, back in 1967? So 2 months Basic, followed by what? Two, three, or was it four months of AIT?

Though AIT could have it's own "specialized" components, OTHER, further, more specialized training after that, would need to be completed before a guy could rightly enough wear a SF emblem, making claim to having completed "Green Beret" training???

There does not appear to be enough time available for that.

He might have went through training for being some sort of Army recon guy but that does not justify running around telling folks that he "trained for Special Forces", and completed it, which he long has, referencing the same on numerous occasions.

It looks like a case of embellishment. Or at least a case, which after examination, leaves not unreasonable doubt.

Corapi has yet (unless I've missed something) taken the trouble to straighten it out, either.

I'm almost willing to bet we'll see Obama's long from birth certificate before we'll get a peek at a DD214. Or short of the DD214, enough verifiable information that could remove doubt.
