Especially since it is your reputation that is on the line, it seems like it would just be fair or proper for you to have some sort of mechanism(s) for you to check on information that is presented to you. I agree with darrindavis, you should not feel like an @ss for insisting to check on that. People check on resumés all the time. |

I just met with him...HE IS FULL OF SH(T. He immediatly began talking about the Rangers and all his stuff. Claimed he was fighting drug lords in Africa in the early 80's and the Russians in Afghanistan also!
I did not tell him I was a Marine til the end of the interview, I asked him if all this was on his DD214 and he said it was, but could not tell me ONE Army unit he was with. He claims he got out of the Marines in 1980 as a CPL and went in the Army. Said he got out cause he did not want to go Force Recon..TOO MUCH SWIMMING, but wanted to be in an elite unit so went Army Ranger. Claimed he was an E-7 when he got out of the Army, but COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY MOS's, Marine Corps or Army! Personally I do not think he was a Marine, if he was he was a SH&TBIRD. I think I just met the KING of Marine SH^TBIRDS! Anyone know a Fred Killinger JR that was a ranger between 80-84 that is his name. Also claimed all the "ops" were secret and does not belong to the AL or VFW because he does not want to talk about it...but had no problem telling me. When I told him I was a Marine at the end he did not say anything to me, but shake my hand and leave! Halfway through the interview I could not concentrate....I just kept thinking about getting out of my chair and bashing his head in! |

Not sure if thats him. This MOS is a forward observer in the Army and His Resume says he was an MP in the Marines and Army, I think that part is true.
But his dates are waaaay off. Yesterday he said he got out of the Army as an E-7 and Marine Corps an E-4...He forwarded me a new resume today and it claims he was in the Army form 81-83...there is no way he could have picked up all that rank and attend all those Army High Speed schools in two years AND get operational experience! He is alsao claiming to have stayed in Africa and fight (As an Mercenary I guess) after he got out! |

I help write resume's. A cover letter (1) one page and the resume', (1) one page, (2) max.
Military Service should be limited to branch, years served, and optional type of discharge. My resume': Military Service: United States Marine Corps, 1961-1967. Honorable Discharge. Semper Fidelis |

I only expound on the MOS part when it is relevant to the occupational field being applied for such as electronics when applying to the phone company. Really, anything that gives you an edge is fine. I have been in a position where there were so many applicants for the same employment that it was whittled down by cover letter and no more than 2 pages. A lot of very qualified people hit the trash, but there were many left over and five were picked for interview, one hired. He turned out to be a terrific kid, just exemplary. He was an excellant choice and I have no way of knowing if there was better in the trash. I have found that Marine Corps service is always a plus. It is self explanatory to all. I attribute that to all those great ads and almost 232 years of Marine Corps legend. Semper Fidelis |

This idiot Killinger is apparently also making waves on some other bulletin boards. Buddy of mine emailed me some interesting threads where he's claiming combat duty in South Africa and a bunch of other AOs. This guy is obviously a fool.

I read this thread today, and don't know whether to crack up laughing at this POS's stupidity, or get really PO'd at the crap.
I did an Army enlistment (1979) before joining the Corps (1984). They had just opened SFQC as an option for first timers (providing you finished basic, AIT, and Airborne School, the contract promised a shot at PrePhase, etc). I was in SFQC Class 8-80P, and was an 05BA4 (radio operator). While I was not a 5 jump chump, I didn't do anything high speed either. I was assigned to Training Group (our flash is white, we don't fight). Absolutely nothing high speed, period. The really good part about serving in that time period was the opportunity to serve under, and learn from the folks that had BTDT in SE Asia, and some Korean vets that were still around. During that time period, other than Benning, the Navy still ran a few people through jump school at Lakehurst. The Utah SF National Guard folks assisted in running a jump school for smoke jumpers out west. That was it. 6 out of a class of 117, I gotta say BS on, as well as the rest of the stuff. I did know a few folks that took contracts in Rhodesia after they left active duty, but the key word is after, and they would have left active in late 1980, best I remember. I did some Guard time (just a little), then joined the Corps as an 0861, leaving in 1987. Like most of you, my resume has dates of service, branch, rank and honorable discharge. I never heard an AK round fired in anger, or was in a place to have. But I can smell crap. |

If you take your life at once aside Then remove yourself from the cast You will find the ship of fools steams on- regardless...... Leaving you free to sail on past. -"Shaneo" 1998 West Australia |
Sometimes too one has to go beyond the Military aspect of the interview, often a poser such as this will be/or try to be, brushed up or evasive on units/awards...Opsec b.s.
Also, direct the conversation to questions of : how did you like South Africa ? do you speak Dutch ? Most likely he would correct you and say they speak Afrikans (or Xhousa, or other local dialects). If he was there in July ask do they vacation alot in the Summer there too? (Of course it is Winter in July there)etc. etc. You can steer the questions to go easily beyond the military type. The medals can be hard to follow up on sometimes. Look at JFK ,all over the place it said he was awarded the Navy Cross, for the PT 109.... Yet the Medal was something like the Meritourous Lifesaving Medal -or something such like...according to other accounts. |

Lt. John F. Kennedy, USNR, was awarded the Navy Marine Corps Medal.

Fred Killinger has "apologized". I reported him for violating the Stolen Valor Act that was passed last year. It makes it a felony for anyone to claim Purple Hearts, Silvers, Distinguished Service Crosses, and stuff of that nature. And even then, his "apology" was half-assed and non-committal. He blamed his actions on his mother's death, and on being bi-polar.

Just as an update about this POS, he's a POSER, well, a partial one anyway. Thought my Marine Brothers would like to know:
http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies36.htm (scroll down to Killenger) Apparently he was a Marine, but guess he wanted to inflate his resume. His DD-214 (real) has a link posted. RLTW, CM |
