Here is what it says relating to that:
After 24 years in the Army National Guard, Command Sergeant Major Walz retired from the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion in 2005.
That's a hell of a stretch to claim that is a lie when he was, in fact, a command sergeant at one time.
Did you even bother to read this bio?Here is a link to the official statement from the Minnesota National Guard.

He also bailed out on his unit before deployment in Iraq.The Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major like he has claimed for years, including on his official gubernatorial biography.

Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, told Just the News."
