Nicholas George; Special Forces super-poser

I’ve been watching this guy since last month when his local media in Louisiana first printed this story about “A Green Beret in our midst” about Sergeant Major Nicholas George;

When asked how he spent his career, George smiled and replied, “Dodging bullets.”

“I’ve been in every conflict since Panama,” he said.

After the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989, George went on to serve in Kosovo, Somalia, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I did 14 tours straight without coming home,” he said.

He’s gone on a total of 757 missions.

Tragically, George was overseas when he lost his wife of 25 years, Kimberly, to cancer.

“I couldn’t be home for it because I was over in Afghanistan,” he said.

When he talks about his career, George is very humble and straightforward. There’s not a trace of boastfulness or embellishment. He speaks honestly and from the heart.

Over the years, George’s courage under fire earned him two silver stars, a bronze star and six Purple Hearts.

“In 28 years, I’ve had 31 bullets put in (my) body and I keep going,” he said.

Unfortunately, the last round of bullets ended his military career.

“I took 14 rounds from the ankle to the shoulder,” George said.

That was in Afghanistan in 2011.

Where do we find such men? Bill Ole Senn, one of our friends at Special Forces Poser Patrol, was on him like white on rice. He called Fort Bragg and determined that George hadn’t attended the Special Forces Qualification Course in 1996 like he had claimed. So they went back to the reporter of the first story, who went to George for an explanation;

This reporter contacted George on Monday about Special Forces Poser Patrol being unable to find his SFQC records.

“I’m battling this again,” he said.

According to George, “this isn’t the first time” someone’s been unable to locate his military records. He said he “ran into the same problem” dealing with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs before his records were located.

“No one’s able to track down my records for some reason,” George said. “It’s aggravating the hell out of me.”

This reporter requested to view a copy of his DD-214.

“I don’t have one on me today. It’s all packed up (with) my stuff,” George said.

This reporter also requested to see George’s SFQC certificate of graduation.

“All that’s packed up with my furniture,” he replied.

George, who moved to Oxford last July, said his belongings are currently being stored out of state by the moving company he hired.

“It’s sitting on a trailer in New York right now,” he said. “All my furniture . . . (is) still sitting in New York.”

George explained he left the Oxford house he initially moved into because it was “too big” and that’s why all his stuff is currently in storage. “I’m staying with someone else right now,” he said.

Given this situation, George said he has no immediate access to any of his military records.

“None of it, right at the moment,” he said.

Yeah, well, sounds plausible…not. he had all of that bling to wear for his antics on Memorial Day, but he didn’t have one slip of paper to prove that he earned all of that stuff? No retiree ID card?

Well, the reporter went to talk to George’s mother and his brother;

“He’s lying – 100 percent.”

That was Patricia George’s response when informed about her estranged son Nicholas Anthony George’s claims to have had a lengthy and highly-decorated career in the United States Army.

“He likes to tell stories. He likes to make up things,” said Patricia, who resides in Wiggins, Mississippi. “He told the woman he was married to, when they got together, he said that his parents were millionaires and wouldn’t give him his money . . . If I have a million dollars, I’d like to know where.”

His estranged older brother, Richard H. George, 46, also of Wiggins, Mississippi, made no bones about George’s claims being bogus.

“To put it bluntly, he’s full of (crap). None of the things that I read (about George’s alleged military career) were factual,” he said. “I don’t know where he would come up with this plan or scam or con or whatever you want to call it.”

The National Personnel Records Center agrees;

Seventeen months of service, discharged as a Private E-1. His highest award was the Army Service Ribbon. He didn’t even stick around long enough to get the National Defense Service Ribbon. But, see, I knew he was phony when I saw the 3rd Award of the Combat Infantryman Badge, the siren’s song of the poser. He doesn’t look old enough to have served in the Korean War or World War II – he would have had to serve in one or the other to have 3 awards of the CIB.

The Combat Action Badge worn on the right breast pocket is wrong, too. 3 CIBs and a CAB, too? That’s a combatin’ MFer. Those “Airborne Ranger wings” are not authorized. The Expert Badge is on the wrong pocket. But you really can’t expect a private to know where all of that stuff goes. That SF DUI on the Army flash on a green beret is a nice touch, too.

So thanks for making it easy to spot you as a phony, George, you goofy-looking POS.

It looks like he got to Aschaffenburg, Germany the year after I left that great city. But, I guess he got caught up in the Iron Triangle down on the Strasse and that Heyland’s Hefeweissen kicked his ass.

Gotta give him credit, though, he certainly put a lot of money into his clown suit. CJ Carnacchio, the reporter’s last article. Yeah, I know Enigma4U didn’t foresee anyone who could beat Wave Reyner, but then along comes Nick George. It’s as if they have a contest going or something.

Here’s a link to Guardian of Valor‘s post on him.
