There are a few other things but nothing real important.

US Army Mechanic: They are parts changers. At the lowest level, company and battalion motor pool they can't even replace a blown head gasket. Things like engine/transmission overhauls are done a depot level by civilians. Guys trained as plumbers, electricians and HAV, heavy equipment, carpenters and such seldom get to work their jobs. In garrison civilians under the department of engineering and housing do all that type work on post. Electronics and computer repair are much the same.
So the employee may not be lying to you. They may well have served. But the branch idea of the work experience gained and what is actually learned may be 2 different things.
What has me asking questions is the employee insisting that you need a copy of the DD214. You as an employer may demand to see it as proof of training/service but there is no requirement for you to have it.
