My thinking was that he was assigned downrange with another guard unit (happens frequently...esp with guard and reserves) and it happened to be that Ohio unit (numbers and contact info are very slow to load between military moves).
One thing I am sure of...is that every single service member has an ako email and there was no James A.. and there were two James with no middle name....one of them being a specialist and stationed in BFE (he was active guard reserve/AGR), and the one that I think is James, with the Ohio number listed for his current unit.
