Ongoing investigation into fradulent Special Forces status claim

January 28, 2010

There is an ongoing investigation of a soldier who claimed to have earned the coveted Green Berets, but did not earn it. Both sources expressed great disappointments on what this individual had done. Quoting one soldier, "We are still tracking this Special Forces "fake" North Carolina, National Guard SGM. He ain't getting away from us. I have all his data, his name, his National Guard unit and a high resolution photo of this moron wearing Special Forces patches, Tabs etc. He was recently run out of IRAQ due to his lies, we will catch him - His time is up! He is a Fraud, liar and scumbag."

I've withhold the names of my sources and the individual from this story.

Tauapai Laupola

Private Fist Class (PFC), Daniel Maga, Finance Specialist (44C), graduated from Basic Training at the US Army Basic Combat Training Center of Excellence, Ft Jackson, South Carolina, Friday, 27 March 2009.

PFC Maga completed the first 9 weeks of Basic Training, where he was taught soldiering skills, and will continue for the next seven weeks of Advanced Individual training with classroom instruction in accounting techniques that dealt with accounting principles and procedures, preparation and maintenance of financial reports and budgets, statistical analyses in order to help interpret financial data, computation of pay and deductions.

As a finance specialist, 44C, PFC Maga’s duties and responsibilities consist of computing payroll and other allowances, auditing accounting records, preparing payments for Army personnel, recording details of financial transactions on accounting forms, auditing financial records and disbursing cash, checks, advance pay and bonds.

Immediately after the graduation, Mrs Mele Hunkin, SFC Pele Hunkin-Tajalle and SSG Sivailoa Uso-Macon hosted a luncheon for PFC Maga, Reverend Mana'omia Tauanuu and those who attended the graduation.

PFC Maga is the son of Moana Salaia Ailua Maga of Fagaitua. He is a 2004 Fagaitua High School graduate and a pianist for the Fagaitua, Congregational Christian Church, AS. When asked of his thoughts, PFC Maga thanked the Lord for his blessings, sent his love for his spiritual parents, Reverend Johnny & Pinto Fano, his mother Moana S. A. Maga and his families in Samoa for their prayers and support.

He also extend his heartfelt appreciation to Reverend Mana'omia Tauanuu and MAJ Laupola of the Ekalesia Kerisiano Amerika Samoa Ft Bragg & Fayetteville for taking that long trip to attend his graduation as well as his sponsored families at Ft Jackson,SC, SFC Pele Hunkin-Tajalle and SSG Sivailoa Uso-Macon. In a telecon with PFC Maga's mother, Moana Maga, she thanked Samoans at Ft Jackson, SC and Ft Bragg, NC for the love and support for her son and confirms her beliefs that there are Samoans in the military that look out for the interest of Samoan service members. Your outreach program has lifted a heavy burden since my son departed, "Thank-you for everything you are doing for the sons and daughters of Samoa."
