Applicant for Rental Claims U.S. Air Force Employment

[Kay March]

An applicant for a rental that I own in Florida claims full-time employment for the U.S. Air Force as an officer making $85,000/yr. In a Linked-In profile he claims to be a Commander of a Communications Squadron in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at a base in the Atlanta area. On his rental application he lists as his supervisor a colonel who is commander of the Mission Support Group at the base in Atlanta. However, the applicant now lives in our little college town here in Florida where the only Air Force presence that I'm aware of is a recruiting office.

Please forgive my ignorance about the U.S. Air Force Reserve, but is this applicant employed full-time? I doubt I'll be able to reach the colonel to confirm the applicant's claims.

You can verify a tenant's military status through the SCRA website. It won't tell you income but it will tell you status at least
