Our new electrical specialist claimed to have once belonged to the 75th Ranger Division and that he was also the seventh highest decorated soldier still alive. He also claimed to have a Kentucky Master Electrician's license.
The first claim was easy to disprove, as there was never a Ranger division, and we do have a documented Ranger who works for us and two others who were attached to Ranger units on a temporary basis (one was a medic and the other a translator).
The second claim was even easier to disprove, as there were about one hundred thirty Medal of Honor recipients still alive at the time, and his claims of having four Distinguished Service Crosses just didn't ring true.
And finally, his claim to be a master electrician quickly came unraveled when he couldn't answer the simplest questions about electricity.
He quit about fifteen minutes before he was going to be called to the back and fired for lying on his application.
Good thing you guys didn’t set him up to work on a live line eh?!
