Possibly not, although I will say this; personnel who are chosen to attend the Army War College (and it's by no means a sure thing) are generally at least O-4 or above. It's considered a senior school. And given that Mr. Sabrosky has not indicated one way or another what his rank was in the Marines, I again point to the ten-year figure and state that it is HIGHLY unlikely that he was much more than an O-3, assuming he was an officer at all. If he was enlisted, his chance of attending the Army War College drops to zero; the college is for officers, not enlisted. Enlisted personnel have their own senior schools which officers do not attend (reason being, enlisted responsibilities are generally vastly different from officer responsibilities, so it is necessary to train them separately).
I would settle, at this point, for any physical evidence (such as a graduation certificate, or a transcript of his courses) to indicate his presence at the War College. At this point, I call BS on his being Director of ANYTHING at the college, but I suppose it's possible he at least attended the college. However, I will not accept his presence there without PROOF, of which none has been provided.
Edit: From the War College Program Overview website:
Given his supposed time in service, Mr. Sabrosky would have to have gotten out of the military immediately after attending the War College; given that, I find it highly unlikely that he would have been recommended to attend in the first place. The whole point of attending the War College is to put the skills to use in official work, as outlined above. Mr. Sabrosky has not, apparently, done so, aside from his apparently fraudulent claim of being the "Director of Studies" at the War College.

Edit: From the War College Program Overview website:
Our students are largely military officers, who range in rank from senior captains (O3s) with 8-10 years of experience through lieutenant generals (O9s) with 30-35 years of experience. Our students include not only Army officers, but also officers from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy; international officers; and senior civilians from key agencies throughout the U.S. Government. All students are carefully selected from within their parent organizations; the USAWC does not independently enroll students.
Upon program completion, many graduates begin operating in the national strategic or theater strategic environment-either directly or as advisers to the senior leadership of the Armed Forces, the Department of Defense, other governmental agencies, or in foreign militaries. A select number of graduates eventually will assume the most senior leadership positions within their organizations, leading them at the strategic level.
