According to the MN National Guard, Gov. Tim Walz did not retire as "Command Sergeant Major Walz" in 2005, as is falsely stated on Minnesota's official website, but as master sergeant, because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy. https://www.newsweek.com/national-guard-disputes-tim-walzs-military-biography-1936038
