It's free and has accurate information. It won't tell you where your ex was stationed or what his specialty was, but it will confirm or deny the existence of a military record.

Ask to see his DD-214. That's his record of discharge or release from active duty. He can't get into trouble for lying unless that lie is memorialized in some document like a job application or application for veterans' benefits. In the latter case he can go to prison for attempting to defraud the Federal government.

The branch personnel office should be able to tell you. Also, as another person said, the DD-214 should be his document of discharge. Just ask him what it is. If he knows, ask to see it. If he doesn't, then he is definitely lying. You can only get in trouble with the government if you impersonate an officer to gain military privelages associated with that rank. They can only get in trouble with employers if they claim to have been in the military, if they tell their employer they were.

If he is saying he is currently in, ask to see his ID card. if he says he doesn't have it on him.. he's not in, since they are required to carry it on them at all times. If it is anything other than a white card with his picture and the Seal of his Branch: he;s lying, since those have replaced to old Blue cards.
People lie or inflate their service all the time. the only time it is illegal is they try pass and pass themselves off as one in an official capacity.

I concur with Dave. I just checked my own name and a few names of folks I served with back in the 80's and 90's. They are present and accounted for.
Regards.

To your first question, I suggest you stop stalking your ex.
To your second, it's a felony to impersonate an officer, not a serviceman in general.

Probably would only get in trouble he commits fraud with that type of information.
(Applying for VA benefits, applying for government jobs and claiming preference points, etc.)
