US Government Records show Miguel "Mike" Valles served less than two years in the U.S. Army - Was Not a "Green Beret"

After resubmitting a previous FOIA request to the NPRC, I have received the following response:
The response provides an NA Form 13164 and includes the previously requested information that shows Valles served 5 months in Vietnam assigned to the 503rd Infantry Regt., 173rd Airborne Brigade.

Summary:
Miguel Angel Valles-Ramirez enlisted in the US Army on March 30, 1970. The NPRC shows his "Place of Entry" as Ft. Bragg, NC in April 1970 where he completed Basic Training. After completing Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Ord, California in August 1970, Valles then reported to Basic Airborne Training at Ft. Benning, GA from August 15 to September 12, 1970.
On September 17, 1970, Valles reported to B Company, 1st BN (ABN) 505th Infantry Ft. Bragg, NC. where he remained as a rifleman (11B1P) until December 4, 1970, when he was given leave until December 31, 1970, before departing by ship for US Army Pacific Command and Vietnam.
Valles reported to D Co, 2nd BN (ABN) 503rd Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade (USARPAC) where he served for five months from 13 Feb to 21 July 1971. The 173rd ABN had already begun its preparation to redeploy from Vietnam and the unit along with Valles returned to Ft. Campbell, KY. The unit has the distinction of being one of the last units to leave Vietnam. The 173rd Airborne Brigade was later inactivated in 1972.
Valles's last assignment was for out-processing with the 545th PSC Detachment at Ft. Campbell, KY in September 1971 where he was discharged on December 2, 1971.
These documents are proof that Miguel Valles was NOT a Green Beret and did not serve "two tours in Vietnam" as claimed by author Philip Carlo as related to him by the serial killer Richard Ramirez.
It also proves that the claims made by Douglas Dietrich and his publisher Vincent Barbarick (Peter Moon) are false.
