Army investigates diploma mill customers p1 - Military - College News and Information - Military Times EDGE

The Army is investigating soldiers who bought degrees from an illegal, Spokane, Wash.-based diploma mill. The Army’s Human Resources Command is using a list of customers of the diploma mill operated by Dixie and Steve Randock. “We’re doing an inquiry into all of our records,” said Lt. Col. Richard McNorton, public affairs officer for Human Resources Command headquarters in Alexandria, Va. So far, the investigation has turned up about 25 soldiers in the Army, National Guard or Army Reserve who face discipline because they bought fake degrees, and in some cases fake transcripts, and used them to secure promotions, McNorton said.
