So my work hired a guy yesterday, and I fired him today for Stolen Valor.
Guy said he served in the Army for a year as an air defense specialist, blew out his knee when an AC unit fell on him. Then 2 months later they made him take a PT test and he failed when his stitches opened up.
Right off the bat, red flags. I figure he got kicked out for being a shit bag, but was too embarrassed to say, for obvious reasons. I just kind of say "that sucks" and move on.
At this point he doesn't know what I did, in fact he's under the impression I was reserves. Big mistake. He starts spouting off about doing a 3 month deployment to Afghanistan with SF. I ask him what group and he mistakes me for what he used. Said they brought him to a table with a SCAR and a bunch of different optics and said to do whatever he wanted to it. It doesn't work that way. Bigger mistake.
Fast forward to today, a few of us are talking and he introduces himself to another one of us, when he gives his same BS story, my buddy asks where about and he says Kunar Province. I was there, needless to say my interest peaks, and I asked what part. He replies "North East side, they said I didn't need to know." I reply "That doesn't make any fucking sense." And he said "well I was pulled because I got medical training during AIT and 1st SF Group said they wanted me because I had medical training and because I was expendable, so I didn't need to know what they were doing or where we were."
I reply "I did a lot of missions with SF, that really doesn't make any fucking sense. SF medics have 2 years of training, they don't pull some swinging dick private fresh from training for their missions."
He says "Yeah, I didn't really get it, it was weird, they just told me not to worry about it."
At this point the rest of the guys know its about to get bad. My manager steps outside and shuts the door to keep customers out. I looked to this piece of shit and say "I want you to tell me exactly what you did in the Army from the top. And before you say anything, I spent more time in country than you did in the service. I spent 16 months in Kunar province, and watched 12 of my buddies die. I can smell bullshit a mile away, and have a buddy who just got out after 8 years with 1st SF Group. Now, what did you do during your time in the military"
So at this point he's flustered and starts trying to lie himself out, and I just lost it. I don't even remember what I said, but I chewed his ass out hard for about 3 minutes and he looked ready to cry. I told him to get the fuck out of my sight and I better not see him again because he's fired.
My manager opened the door, said "You heard the man, get out." And that was that.
Of course now I'm working the range alone the next 2 days, but worth it so I don't have to see that shit bag all day.
