Jacob Barber was recently featured on NewsNation for his claims about transporting NHI craft while contracted as civilian helicopter pilot. A key component of his story is his military background, and despite Barber simply stating that he was a talented aircraft mechanic during the broadcast, NewsNation presented his career in a muddled way that implied he had a special operations background. HOWEVER, Barber himself later claimed he was a secret Combat Controller (CCT), with his documented role as an aircraft mechanic being a 'cover'. I've seen A LOT of confusion and arguing about this point, so I decided to do a deep to examine the available evidence, including his DD-214 and other military documents, to determine if his claims hold water.

NOTE: This analysis focuses solely on Barber's military career and does not directly address his post-military work or claims about NHI. However, I believe understanding his military background claims is crucial for evaluating his overall credibility."

Enlistment:

Barber enlisted under a contract guaranteeing him a shot at becoming a 1C231 Combat Control (CCT) Apprentice, committing to 6 years of service. 1C231 is his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) – basically his job code, similar to an MOS in the Army. While many recruits don't know their specific job going into Basic Training, Barber's was guaranteed through the Guaranteed Training Enlistment Program. However, as the fine print notes, nothing is truly guaranteed in the military; he still had to qualify and complete the training. His DD-124 shows he entered Active Duty on September 29, 1994.

CCT Selection:

Following his 6-week Basic Training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas, Barber moved to the 342nd Training Squadron (TRS), also at Lackland. The 342nd TRS handles all Air Force Special Operations entry-level training, as well as advanced security forces skills. Here's his selection letter from the 342 TRS Selection Team. From there, he would have proceeded to the Candidate Course.

CCT Candidate and Pipeline Training:

Barber completed the initial Combat Control Candidate Course (formerly called the Indoctrination Course), which involves rigorous physical training like running, rucking, and swimming. Here is his completion certificate. This determines if you move on to the full CCT pipeline. He may have attended the 4-week US Army Combat Diver Course in Key West, FL, in February 1995 and had orders for the 3-week Airborne School at Fort Benning. However, there were still many months of training ahead, including Freefall, SERE, Air Traffic Control, the CCT Apprentice Course, and Special Tactics Training. It's tough to pinpoint exactly when he washed out, as he could have been waiting for retraining for weeks. Based on the timeline, it likely happened in February or early March, possibly during the Diver Course.

Aerospace Maintenance Training

After leaving CCT training, Barber was reclassified as a C2A551J Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman, the only AFSC listed on his DD-214. He likely became a C-130 "Crew Chief," as seen in this photo. This training typically takes about 10 weeks at Sheppard AFB, TX, which aligns with his timeline, suggesting he attended from approximately March to June 1995.

EDIT/UPDATE:

Thanks to u/LR_DAC for bringing to my attention that the broadcast showed the bottom half to Barber's DD-214 that I initially missed. It shows he completed the 12-week Aerospace Maintenance course in February 1995. This significantly shortens the timeline and makes it pretty clear that Barber very likely washed out during the Assessment and Selection course immediately after the Indoc in December and was quickly reclassed into being a Crew Chief. He likely had documents out to February because the training pipeline for CCT is made of multiple training courses one after another, so they were generated in advanced and he didn't attend or complete those advanced trainings (which makes sense, because they're also not on his DD-214).

First Duty Station:

From his decoration recommendation, it appears that he was assigned to the 41st Airlift Squadron at Pope AFB, NC from 26 June 1995 to 28 September 2000. The 41st Airlift Squadron is part of Air Mobility Command and operates the Lockheed C-130 turboprop military transport aircraft.

Achievement Medal:

While attending a Joint Readiness Training Exercise at Fort Polk, LA - Barber was performing night guard duties attended to Security Policemen who had drove their Humvee into a ditch and was rendered unconscious with a compound leg fracture. For his actions he received an Air Force Achievement Medal. Good stuff.

Deployment:

From 24 January 1998 to 20 March 1998, he was deployed to Al-Seeb, Oman with the 4410th Airlift Squadron. For this he received an Aerial Achievement Medal. As you can clearly see in the details of the award - he was supporting the mission of transporting equipment, personnel, and munitions. Exactly what you'd expect for a mechanic supporting transport aircraft, and absolutely nothing to do with CCT.

Separation:

Upon separating from the Air Force, Barber was recommended for an Air Force Achievement Medal. Notably, his next assignment was slated to be with the 625th Air Mobility Support Squadron in Rota, Spain. This further reinforces that he was serving as an aircraft maintenance airman, assigned to typical Air Mobility units – not a covert CCT operator. He ultimately separated from the Air Force on September 28, 2000.

DD-214:

The DD-214 is a crucial military document that summarizes a service member's career, including training, assignments, and awards. It's used to verify service and obtain benefits. Falsifying a DD-214 is a federal offense. Again, here is Barber's DD-214. Notably, the only AFSC (job code) listed is C2A551J Aerospace Maintenance. If he had completed CCT training, that AFSC would be listed. Instead, it only lists him as Aerospace Maintenance - which corresponds with ALL the other documents he provided the NewsNation.

"Cover Job":

As for his claim that the Aerospace Maintenance job listed is a "cover job", here is my breakdown...

1. Your AFSC or job code is not classified. Are there highly secretive positions in the military? Sure. Specific locations, units, affiliations might be obscured in your documents with "Data Masked", but that would not preclude your AFSC from being listed on your DD-214.

2. Just look at the Special Forces association requirements, for example. One of the documents they'll accept for membership is your DD-214. Outside of some very rare cases 50+ years ago in the Vietnam War, job codes are not obscured or covered. Unless they doctored it (a crime), it's the sure fire way to know if someone is who they say they are. Here is Chris Kyle's DD-214 clearly showing his job as a Navy Seal. So if Navy Seals and Delta Force Operators have their job codes listed on the DD-214, why would Barber be one of the only people in the world to have this done?

3. It's unfortunate to say, but people (even servicemembers) doctoring or claiming their DD-214 is classified or has a "cover" job is a very well known stolen valor technique. This is how the various private Special Operations membership organizations and Stolen Valor groups typically catch people.

4. "Barber was vouched for by other Special Ops members". During the NewsNation broadcast, the only thing Barber directly says about his military career is that he was a "highly talented airplane mechanic". It's Ross who insists he was so much more. In the NewsNation story, people like retired MSgt Fred Baker vouched for his personal character and claims about transporting NHI craft, but have not specifically supported the claim that he was a CCT Special Operator, which Barber only claimed AFTER the NewsNation story aired. While MSgt Baker's vouching for Barber's character might lend him credibility for his NHI claims, it doesn't negate the inconsistencies in his military records, especially since Baker or others have not explicitly confirmed the CCT claim.

5. Consider also that it's not JUST his DD-214.The sheer volume of evidence contradicts Barber's claim. Every document, every record, every detail points to him washing out of CCT training and serving honorably as an Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman. That's it. This would be a massive conspiracy to fabricate an entire career. And for what? Barber never claims he did anything related to NHI during his military career, only decades later as a private contractor. There's just no reason for it, no matter how much mental gymnastics you try to do.

TL;DR: Jacob Barber's claim that he was a secret Combat Controller with a 'cover job' as an aircraft mechanic is almost certainly false. His DD-214 and all other available records show he washed out of CCT training and served honorably as a mechanic. This, unfortunately, seriously undermines his credibility.

Alright, that conclude my deep dive. If you made it this far, congratulations. If there are any former military members that have anything to add or any corrections of my analysis to make, I welcome you to do so. If you are unfamiliar with this topic and have any questions, I (and I'm sure others) will be more than happy to answer and help you to understand. If you just want to troll and argue with people that are much more familiar with this specific topic because you've seen some movies or just don't like what I have to say, then I recommend you not waste either of our time and just move on and disregard my post.

Cheers.
