We were sent Spencer Steiner, the fake Green Beret, by several people who either knew him or took classes from him and had questions about his claims.
According to his company, he claims 17 years in combat as a Ranger and Special Forces (3 Series ODA). He also claims JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Control) and to have been a Delta Operator (Gulf Squad). He claims to be a Chief Warrant Officer, CW2 and they refer to him as Chief. In reality, he separated from the Army as a PV2. People have heard him claim to have 80 confirmed kills.

Here you see Ranger and Special Forces along with 17 years in combat in many different countries.
What's the saying? Go big or stay home? Well, Spencer Steiner the fake Green Beret went big when it came to his fake tattoos.
On one arm he has the 3rd Special Forces Group Flash and the entire Special Forces Creed. WTH?
Here you see his #rd SFG(A) tattoo along with the Special Forces Creed. In the yellow section of the #rd Grp flash, you'll notice the "3RD"... Anybody and everybody in the community would know that's a 3rd Grp Flash and there's no need to add "3RD"
On the other arm, he has the USASOC (United States Army Special Operation Command) shoulder sleeve insignia along with something so secret "W625" and "R7M4" that only he knows what it means. If he's told you what these letters and numbers mean, email us at contact@guardiansofthegreenberet.com and we'll add it to the article. He also has the JTAC tattoo as mentioned earlier.
Here you see the USASOC shoulder sleeve insignia. Spencer Steiner, the fake Green Beret never served on second in any Special operations unit whatsoever. You also see W625 and R7M4 whatever they mean along with JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Control)
He claims to have 80 confirmed kills and shot a young boy in front of his father in Afghanistan. He was never in Afghanistan. This is all a lie.
His website mentions the ability to teach Control Grouping, Squad Movement, Break Cover Fire, Firearm Transitions, Combat/Self Defense, and Field Medical Training. He does this while giving people the idea he is a trained JTAC, Ranger, Delta, and Green Beret. All a lie.
We actually found 3 people who served with him in 2/11th back in 97-98, and according to them, he tested positive for marijuana, went AWOL, and was never seen again.
From a close friend of his when he was in 2/11th. .
Although records don't show AWOL as they redact derogatory information, we do see that he was reduced in rank to PV2 and separated from the Army under a General Discharge after 1 year 4 months, and 27 Days. In the picture below
Here it shows the reduction in rank. You can see full records in the picture section.
In the picture below, although redacted, you can clearly see the top of a G and L. General Discharge.
This is the only type of discharge that corresponds to those letters. You can see full records in the picture section. False
Reduced in rank to a PV2 and 1 year 4 months, 27 days... that's a far cry from a CW2 with 17 years in combat as JTAC, Ranger, Delta, and Special Forces. We've tried multiple times to reach out to him for comment but he simply won't pick up his phone so we moved on with our article.
