Verifying someone's military service?

[ADP]

The other half (the one without car hobbies) wants to hire someone to do some work around here. I'm all for giving people a chance and helping them out when they are in need, but there is something about this person that bugs me.

I'm not sure if I want them to have access to our home when we aren't around.

I bring up the military service bit because they've either had a fantastic and interesting life, or they are in possession of a fertile and detailed imagination. If its an issue of the latter - I'm not sure I want to be involved in someone's alternate reality.

There are a lot of resources on the web for this,

discusses in detail how to access someone's records.

Since there is such a wide variety of legal and life experience in the people that post here (hah!) I figured someone might have some knowledge of a like situation.

I don't think our Veteran will be cooperative in signing a DA-180.

I did one of those minimal on the internet background checks to verify they weren't actively wanted for something and they come up clean, however, there are no social security or military records tied into those things - just alot of previous addresses. There are two that are military - but neither matches the story.
