I hope someone can help me here. I have a dear friend who has started seeing a guy that I find troubling. He told her that he is 55 and has just retired from the Army and was a Sergeant Special Forces Sniper. He told her that he had to do a complete background check on her because it was required by the government. He has told her that she can not tell anyone his residential address. He doesn't show up on any of the major databases that John Q Citizen has access to. He always carries a concealed hand gun. He told her that he was divorced 2x. He never drinks alcohol.
Needless to say some of these things seemed to be Red flags. What I would like to ask the Vets here is this.
Is 55 too old to be a sniper?
Don't snipers usually have s cover story as to what the did in the army?
If his work was sensitive enough to not have her disclose his residential address, why would he tell her he was a sniper?
Does the Army or NSA require background check on the people who a retired sniper might date or become romantically involved with?
Other than these things he sounds like he might be a charming guy.
I am afraid that she may have started dating another Ted Bundy.
I hope someone can tell me that I am just being overly cautious about my friend. For the record I am not romantically interested in this woman and I am happily married to another.
If this guy sounds more like a wannabe does anyone have a suggestion as to the next steps. I am afraid that she is looking at this guy through rose colored glasses and has let down all of her defenses.
Thank you
