Robert....

I am up for the info.  If it is on the Internet then I would just like the links will be enough and for those who want to read can go there and for those who don't care can pass.  Thanks Robert.....

Well guys it is much deeper rooted than that. I can post what he claims as his record and I can post what the military says his duty record is. I thought, ya'll would know about it. It's up to ya'll, "do ya'll want me to post the two conflicting records". I'm just wanting ya'lls opinion on this guy that had everyones trust as a survirvor teacher and does this change things for ya'll.

I have watched the program a couple of times.  They mostly reinforce what I have learned and experienced.  I always wondered if they are on life and death survival what is the camera man doing?  I have no problem with either men.  If one was posing as something he was not.....then someone was not doing their due diligence i.e. background investigation or....the most likely.....they were promoting him as something he was not and knew it.  When someone called them on it...he took the hit for some nice severance pay.

Robert this is just my best guess based on my experience as a LEO and dealing with people and fraud.  I love everyone's opinion and value them more than mine.  I feel we are among friends and safe in expressing those opinions so I would like to see more friendly text.

My nephew is a rigger for the Airborne and he had to go through all the initial training same as the others. Had to make the qualifying jumps and much of the other things they learn. In my opinion he is knowledgeable.

I had a friend who said he was in special forces, but turned out he was a parachute rigger attached to them. I would not like having to depend on someone who I thought was experienced and knowledgeable, only to find out the person was not who he said he was.

I asked this question for everyones opinion. To answer your question, he seemed knowledgable on the subject of survival and seemed to be a likable guy. Thanks, for your opinion.

 I have a major problem with that!  I have absolutely no idea of the program that you're referring to!  I have never heard about it until I read your post.

Did he know what he was talking about?  Did he present it in a friendly manner?  If yes, then what the Hell's the matter whether he served or not--unless of course they are teaching military type SERE programs and even that's not a big deal since most of the early instructors for the military were civilian contractors.

He probably got caught shagging the producer's wife or husband and they needed a convenient and plausible out.

Those of you that watch survivor programs on TV, have ya'll heard that Dave on the program Dual Survivors has been replaced. They say he falsified his military record. I was just wondering what ya'll thought about it.
