United States Air Force
The Air Force can locate active duty personnel, as well as retirees, reservists and guardsmen. This information is not available for those who have separated from the Air Force or are Army Air Corps retirees. Information on individuals stationed overseas or in a sensitive position will not be released. However, the locator service will forward mail to that person for up to 90 days, as long as the correct postage is on the envelope and any required fee has been paid. Parents, spouses, and government officials may call 1-210-652-5774 for a recorded message or 1-210-652-5775 for non-recorded service. For locator service write to:
HQ AFMPC/RMIQL
550 C Street, West, Suite 50
Randolph AFB, TX 78150-4752

I have to wonder why anyone would lie about that and also how proving that it's a lie will be of any benefit. Another of life's mysteries I suppose.
www.military.com has a buddy locator function that might be of some use. You can find whether someone with his name served, what branch, and when but for common names it's not exactly proof. You have sign up for their site (no cost) to use it.

Why dont you type his full name in a search engine and see what you get. I have seen documents like my parents promotions etc.
