'QAnon Shaman' arrested for storming Capitol is a Navy vet [View all]

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/533852-qanon-shaman-arrested-for-storming-capitol-is-a-navy-vet

The Arizona man who wore a horned, fur-covered headdress and face paint as he and other supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol is a Navy veteran, according to the service.

Jacob Anthony Chansley, who also goes by Jake Angeli and is known among online conspiracy theorists and far-right internet groups as the “QAnon Shaman,” served in the Navy for two years, from September 2005 to October 2007, his service records show.

Nothing more at link, except that Military Times was the 1st to report on this. Odd, I couldn't find their story.
