Background and claims

William (Bill) Humphries from Atlanta GA has a lot of titles under his name. Everything from Stuntman and personal trainer to being a Force Recon Marine. He also claims that he earned the US Army Ranger Tab while he was in the ROTC program at The University of Georgia.

He thrills the readers of his Facebook page about his acts of daring-do:

A quick search around the interwebnet thingy provides us with even more spectacular tales:

“Bill attended The University of Georgia became a member of The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, eventually president and joined R.O.T.C. where he earned his Army Rangrer Tab within his first year which had never been done at The University of Georgia. At Georgia Bill developed an affinity for girls and parties and his grades started to fall. He was known for his wild side and finally he made a mistake that would change his life forever , He was at a celebrated fraternity party where the brothers set the pledgr mobile on fire and when thet firemen came to put the blaze out Bill stole a fire truck as a pramk which ended with an 18 man SWATT team and a felony of 10 years in prison. Billl was athletic very smart with an IQ of 133 and gifted in tactical thinking an exceptionally skilled in combat weaponry, explosives leadership and navigtional tactics so the Commanding Officer of The ROTC AT The University called a contact at the Pentagon who recruited young men that fit the blue print of an experimentl elite Black Operations Unit that worked as an arm of Th C.I.A. the N.S.A. and The Special Operations Force for The United States Navy. The full bird Colonel flew down with a team ran some tests and Bill was a perfect fit for a candidate for this lethal unit. The Colonel went to the judge said tehy need guys like Bill and the survival rate was close to 30% in the operations they ran. The judge gave the choice to Bill and Bill accepted the challenge. Bill became a trainer in the Elite Black Opertion teams running missions, operations and the most dangrous assignment in the world all over the world for seven years. Out of his twelve man kill team and over 72 life fire operations 4 men survived out of the ten year commitment. Bill struggled to heal from darkness no man or woman should ever have to see or do, he reinvented himself in acting and fitness studying theater in New York City”

On a hunch that some of those claims might not actually be true, we ordered his official records through the Freedom of Information Act:

Military Service Record

Active Duty in the US Marines for training only. The rest of his enlistment was spent in the Marine Corps Reserves. His Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) was 3531 – Motor Vehicle Operator. His records show that he managed to be awarded the lowest badge for weapons qualification in the Marine Corps. The only qualification lower is “unqualified”.

Summary and Conclusion

Comparing the Bio’s posted by Bill Humphries to his records provided through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) at the National Personal Records Center (NPRC), we can confirm that Bill Humphries was never in Force Recon as a US Marine.

Mr. Bill Humphries claim of being Ranger Tab in the ROTC may be a misprint. It is possible that he meant Ranger Challenge Tab. The Ranger Challenge Tab is the only Department of the Army individual qualification tab awarded exclusively to Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadets, and approved by the Institute of Heraldry.^[1] This award is presented annually to cadets who compete in regional ROTC Ranger Challenge competitions.

We have also filed for Bill Humphries US Army FOIA.
