John Grandizio, Green Beret…NOT!! – Guardians of the Green Beret
Our friends at Guardians of the Green Beret bring us their case on John Grandizio. It seems that being a legit Wounded Warrior was not enough for Johnny so he added a bunch of ribbon salad and promoted himself.
John Grandizio was brought to our attention by a member of a Ranger Regiment forum (to vet him) after his wedding photos showed up online due to some rather major irregularities in his uniform. As with most frauds, there were just too many things wrong to ignore. John Grandizio, fake Ranger and Fake Green Beret, had the full attention of this group which also reached out to a brother that was also a member of SF Brothers due to his representation of the SF long tab. Some tried to contact John but he subsequently removed his online profiles. The Ranger and SF forums worked together to gather the information required to vet John Grandizio. He was nothing that he claims. We see he was assigned to
163d Military Intelligence Battalion for a short time.
The following summarizes the results:

I wonder what chapter he was given…because I have never heard of the 17 month enlistment option…
and that photo in the ASUs….
He has that “I just got pumped by the neighbor’s dog” look on his face…
Gotta be a regular at Brucies Bath House (Entrance in the Rear)…
He may have been medically discharged, given the fact that he received a PH. But yeah, the fact that he left as a Private at 17 mo does suggest the possibility of some kind of reduction-in-rank prior to discharge.
However, if I recall correctly E1 and E2 both technically have the title “Private”. He seems to have been assigned as “Surplus Personnel” for 5 or 6 months before discharge – possibly while receiving med treatment and/or awaiting a med board. So it’s also possible he got to Iraq, got wounded shortly afterwards, got sent back, and may simply never have been promoted past E2 while receiving medical treatment and/or awaiting a med board.
Private E! – PV1. Private E2 – PV2.
True; however, the NPRC form above simply refers to his rank at time of separation as “Private” and makes no mention of his pay grade. That implies he could have been either E1 or E2 when discharged.
Don’t know about the Army, but in the Marine Corps promotion up to E3/Lance Corporal only requires Time In Service/Time In Grade. If he had enough time to complete Basic Training, go to his Primary MOS School and ship to Iraq, that is more than six months, which is the Time In Grade for Private First Class in the Marine Corps. Sure the Army probably has the similar TIS?TIG requirements. Just remember that the Army continued to promoted Bowe Berghdahl while he was “TDY”, and he didn’t even make one contribution to the Army Relief Fund or the Combined Federal Campaign during those five years.
Same here. Not only did he F*-up, but he had to really work at something to do it too.
He might have bee stuck in what I call the DCU.
Back in that time frame, the WCU (Collection) were usually at the battalion level. The problem was that in the formations in the morning you had the the legit wounded/injured Soldiers in the WCU, but you also had others, hence the term DCU – Dirtbag Collection Unit. Most of these losers were sent back for other reasons than being hurt (this dude does have a PH and was a Scout or attached to a Scout platoon so he would have been in close proximity to the enemy). Then they would co-mingle and “borrow” stories from the wounded and tell them to MTF providers (many who took a direct commission based upon medical (MD or PhD) specialty). Point being, the providers could not tell the legit from the clowns and many dirtbags tried to get out with upgrades to benefits, rank, etc, that they did not deserve.
My best guess is that this clown did get hurt but became a dirtbag. Most guys that were wounded usually had common sense, even if wounded badly. His behavior in the pictures above suggests otherwise. I mean, if you were in more than a day, you do not do this. Beard, jacked uniform, eight (?!?) scarab badges on the uniform…things like that.
My money is on the fact he got kicked out.
“My money is on the fact he got kicked out.”
DITTO!!!!
I think PVT (E-1 or E-2) is very telling, especially after 17 months of AD.
Must’ve been a head wound, because this guy has lost his shit.
There’s a newspaper article over at the Guardians page that announced his graduation from AIT and referred to him as a PFC at that time. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that he was reduced.
I have seen young EM (below E-4) Soldiers get hit and evaced out.
Generally, if they are retired for wounds received, and they stay the course and do the right thing (i.e. – behave accordingly like Soldier should) they will be promoted to the next rank or if a new PFC, a waiver will be put in for it.
This clown seems to have gone the other way.
That’s a waiver to E-4. My bad.
Unless it has changed, E-1 for showing up, E-2 6 mo to a year, E-3 18 mo and E-4 26 mo.
Cannot remember ever seeing a waiver for E-3 but have seen a few for E-3 and E-4.
Hadn’t seen that article, Mr. Bill. Thanks.
I think you’re right. Kinda hard for an individual to leave the service as a Private (either E1 or E2) if they graduated AIT as a PFC without a reduction in rank somewhere along the way.
I think you really have to step on your shoelaces to avoid making PFC, particularly with overseas service.
Definitely makes sense
After leach Bethesda and transferring to Lewis to be retired promotions only came if I remember if you were guard or still
With a unit and not dropped down to surplus
PLACE OF ENTRY:
FORT DIX, NY
Really?
Coulda sworn it was in New Jersey.
Keystroke or headspace/timing error by the NPRC clerk completing the 13164 (“N”, “J”, and “Y” are all typed by the same finger).
It was sure in NJ when I was there for basic??
Don’t you think this asshat looks alot lie old Sadam??
What a fuckstick, this asshole is even worse than my fucking brother! That really takes some doing on his part!! What a asshole!!
GET SOME, WW!!!!
“Please give me more Dix.” ~ PVT John Grandizio
What a clownshoes.
This guy is a pimple on the ass of America.
Sweet beard, bro. That’s really the icing on the cake, here. Look out phony SEALs, it looks like phony Green Berets like this are eating you for lunch! Get your shit together!
Wonder if he knows Will Chamberlain? They probably spend their weekends free falling with The Round Ranger.
Cupping each other’s balls
“I said free falling, not free balling.”
That costume must cost at least $1000 to put together. Damn shame when some Green Berets come to his home and rip it off of him in front of his wife and neighbors.
I’ll bet he wears womens panties underneath.
I second that
BHWHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Private Parts was awarded a PH and CAB for his service in Iraq. Should’ve been proud of serving even if only for 17 months. Apparently his quick divorce from the Army bruised John’s taint and he went full retard with impersonating a Warrior with Tan and Green berets and uniforms filled with badges, ribbons, and chevrons he never earned.
This POSer must think he’s Prince Harry with the relaxed grooming standards while in dress uniform. He invested some serious cash into his play uniforms and accoutrements but was too cheap to find a competent tailor. Seems like John is half-stepping through life as a faker and SV thief.
Unearned awards and achievements on military uniforms make for great wedding photos that are treasured for years.
Nice work John Grandizio!
He is right there with the infamous Round Ranger. I was married in my dress blues cuz I was still on active duty as a for real SF officer. But it never even occurred to me to hang a bunch of awards and badges I didn’t earn on my uniform.
When Hack Stone married his lovely bride Rosetta, Hack wore his Dress Blues with all of his awards and decorations. People look at our wedding portrait and immediately say “Wow! What an impressive rack!” And Hack says “Thank you! And what do you think of my ribbons?”
Full disclosure, Hack’s rack consisted of a Good Conduct Medal, Overseas Ribbon with star, and Rifle Expert Badge.
Hack, I do believe this is the FIRST time that you have shown us a picture of Rosetta. Damn Son, you done good.
I can accept and overlook the fake wearing of the long tabs and the jump wings, but the blue cord of badassery? Over the top valor thief! Unacceptable.
I wasn’t Infantry, so my opinion may not matter much here. But FWIW: I personally wouldn’t give the guy grief over the Infantry Cord – even though he technically may not rate it.
The guy was an 11B, completed Infantry BCT/AIT or OSUT, and was assigned to an 11B duty slot (scout in an MI unit). He likely had zero control over what unit he was assigned to when he arrived at Hood, and it was almost certainly only “luck of the draw” that he ended up in an MI Bn vice an Inf Bn. Had he gone to an 11B slot in an Inf Bn instead, he’d rate the cord.
Also FWIW: the Infantry Cord and disks are only worn while assigned to Infantry units or selected branch immaterial slots. As I read it, that means technically no retiree or veteran rates the cord and disks, either (no longer assigned to a unit authorizing wear of same). But I similarly wouldn’t give a retired Inf solder or vet who had been trained in an Inf MOS and served in an Inf unit grief about having them on their uniform, either.
He’s still a LSoS, though – about many more things than the cord.
If he was Infantry, then he can wear the cord as he completed OSUT.
Hood is a heavy IN world, or used to be. Even with CAV and heavy units, many MOS are co-mingled.
Point being, he should be authorized to wear the cord.
I did see a “P” identifier on his ERB, but no wings on his FIOA request.
Unless he was re-classed. But I do not see that. But if he was not, unsure why he did not get the CIB. While I do understand being assigned to an IN unit as a requirement, I believe it must be at the battalion level or below. But if he was part of a larger IN operation, he should have gotten it.
I have known people that have.
AD is a lot different than the HG in that respect.
LRSD would be a Parachutist Qualified position on the MTOE. If he’d stuck around long enough he would have been eligible for BAC (Basic Airborne) and ASI W8 Military Freefall.
Either stepped on his johnson and/or was wounded. Can’t find any news stories in the later.
I kinda would assumed if he had been pinpointed (slotted) for the position listed above, after OSUT, he would have been sent over to BAC before rolling out.
What good is a leg in a jump unit?
But there is the “P” on the ERB and snowcone.
I am with Green Thumb on this one. I think there are some legitimate errors on his records, but not to the tune of his Rank and too many medals, tabs, and extra badges:
+ He is assigned to the 163rd MI BN, which would be the LRS unit for 3rd Corps. He would have graduated OSUT so he should have a Blue Cord (oversight by clerk in a hurry).
– While he is assigned to a Parachutist slot (Duty MOS), he did not spend enough time at Fort Benning (or assigned to the Airborne School) to have earned his wings yet. Likely Fort Hood was short 10 level Infantry and LRS-D was screaming for their fill to deploy. He would go to Airborne when he returned from Iraq.
+ He has an Iraq Campaign ribbon and an Overseas Service Ribbon. That alone qualifies for the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. Clerk oversight.
– His hometown paper may have got it wrong, but yes, he would qualify for at least PFC while in the Warrior Transition Unit (WTU) so discharge as a Private likely means he stepped on it. Likely something along the lines of his picture with his buddies on the HESCO barriers in ACUs.
It looks like he stole his Platoon Sergeants dress jacket. I don’t see a DUI above his Unit awards, so he probably had not even learned which Regiment he was “assigned” to (Random on graduation from OSUT, put in for change when arrive a unit you want, keep having to change it every time you PCS because the clerk keeps cancelling out what you put a 4187 in for.)
I keep wondering if I can wear my uniform ever again, since I now sport facial hair? I figure I at least need to procure my “Soldier for Life” badge just in case, since the little lapel pin the give you on retirement is not sufficient.
Negative on his being eligible for both the ICM and GWOTEM for duty in Iraq on a single deployment; Army policy in general prohibits that w/o change in unit mission or duty station during said deployment. And since his deployment was post-Apr 2005, he doesn’t have the choice of which he gets; Army policy is that he gets the ICM. (Soldiers who qualified for the GWOTEM for duty in Iraq prior to Apr 2005 may either keep it or elect to turn it in and get the ICM instead.)
We used to pull a lot of the 18X washouts from the pipeline right into the unit.
Mixed bag. They knew the radio, several small arms and had some land nav skill knowledge over regular EM’s (at least the newer ones as many of the E-4’s and E-3’s in the unit already had right shoulder patches), but many of the washouts lacked discipline and maturity in that they had never been in a unit, just TRADOC. Many were smart asses and thought they were the shit over some of the lower EMs, but that usually got squared away “out back” by the Mafia.
This dude was not a 18X wash, but I could see him getting pulled to a upper tier unit if they needed dudes stat. The jump school issue is still causing me confusion on this one, though.
But point being, sometimes with no NCO development coming down his suck or up his two-hole, he could have acted out thus that would be the reason he stepped on his crank.
MI Ranger, where are you from, my friend? I’m in the murder mitten as well.
I was being totally sarcastic. Former 11C leg unit here so I was showing my envy of the long tabs and jump wings. 🙂
But what this POSer turd should really be proud of is that he finished his military “career” as a “surplus soldier.” That is a job title I have never seen before.
Nowadays, the “Surplus Soldier” means being carried as excess to the morning report with no duty slot. Back in our days, it was MOS 57A – Duty Soldier./smile
Carried as in “Sandbag”.
Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why an 11B had a CAB vice CIB.
Asshole. Guy earned a Purple Heart, Combat Action Badge, and served in the shithole of Iraq. I don’t give a shit if he got bounced in 17 months as a buck Private. That’s HONORABLE SERVICE. And he shit all over it. Fucker
PH and CAB are not all created equal.
I have seen some shady PH and CAB awards in the IZ…
Maybe he was one of those, knows it, and simply deduced the whole awards system is bogus….then got in trouble and just thought “FTA”…
“…..There I was, in FOB Anaconda, minding my own business planing my next solo patrol mission on MSR Tampa, when this huge rocket came flying over the wire and landed right in front of me and made me drop my green beans coffee. I didn’t lose my cool. I remember all that I learned watching that movie, the Hurt Locker, and proceeded to deactivate the rocket while eating my pizza from pizza hut, saving the lives of the 400,000 American Soldiers on the base while they were playing video games in the MWR tent.
When EOD got there I had the rocket disarmed. But then a Chechen sniper tasked with targeting the most valuable American warriors, saw me from over the wire and shot me right in my ass, center mass, but somehow the bullet got clean through and didn’t hit any of my major organs, and had time to turn over and take out the Chechen sniper with my M9 chow piece, at 1900m breaking a world record for a 9mm kill in combat…. “
Next thing you know he’ll claim to have been shot at by the same Sniper that took potshots at Hillary Clinton!
API, I’m pretty sure Slow Joe is being sarcastic here.
Anybody that spent more than three days at Anaconda should get a purple heart just for being around the fookin burn pit.
I remember having to wear my body armor and Kevlar to take a shower, when we stopped over on our way back to Dagger from Victory. There were people hanging out at the pool in bikinis (where was that on the packing list?)!
…but there were actually rockets coming in! So I wore them…for the pictures.
He’s missing the space shuttle door gunner device.
You mean the Olympic Torch carrier badge?
Or the Scuba Bubble?
… That was something our W9 (W8, W7) always told folks when they asked what those badges were:
Combat Diver Badge = Door Gunner on Space Shuttle
Pathfinder = Ran the torch in the Olympics
Bout time. Army shouldn’t play second to navy in the phony race
This turd look like a clown. It’s refreshing to see idiots out here
Still willing to pull this stupid shit, I definitely needed a laugh this
Morning and I found it.
Enjoy your google fame moron it’s forever
And I’m still laughing my ass off
He doesn’t have space on his ASU for the Pathfinder Badge or Sapper Tab.
It’s probably top secret so it hidden in a pocket
Or something. He definitely spends a crazy amount of time at a surplus store
I’m sure that he’s also a Platinum Card Customer at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in the Rear).
I had a PSG (my CSM later) that always wore his airborne wings and pathfinder badge normally, but wore his air assault badge under his pocket flap.
Weddings…what is it about weddings that draws POSers/phonies/fakes like a mosquitoes to a porch light? I guess its the chance to peacock-around and strut across the room on all their flea market finery.
Trying to upstage the groom at another wedding is a sure way to draw the ire of the bride. As far as his own wedding is concerned and he’s exposed as a phony, that photo album on the coffee table will be stashed in the closet and become a waist of a pile of cash. Enjoy your Goggle fame, #deltabravo
Remember, a formal wedding draws a pretty sizable crowd and they are all focused on only two people, the POSer and his bride. Plus it is an opportunity for dress up. The POSer can assure that no one he actually served with is invited to the wedding. Thus, it is unlikely there will be anyone present to challenge his fakery.
While on AD, I attended a friend’d wedding which was on the same day as the Army-Navy game. Neither myself or another friend who was AD USMC wore uniforms to the wedding. My Marine friend bought a suit last-minute because the Mother-of-the-bride forewarned about him about the possibly upstaging her daughter. One of the many differences between us and the POSer species is we take others into account while they are totally self-absorbed.
The one aspect of a wedding photo that many men come to regret years later is the fact that they were in it.
Mustang Major,
… which means, EVERYONE will be regretting these wedding photos,
if not already, then quite soon.
Geez.. What a dope, ruined it all, wedding, photos, & marriage.
Recall the phony Ty Hempe from last November. CIB with a star. He was the marrying type that liked to wear a uniform adorned unearned awards and military rank.
I am sure his wedding photos are also something to cherish through the years.
https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=92603&cpage=1
Ty Hempe might be his dad.
The mom might have been cracked up then.
She is definitely smoking it now as she defends her son.
Just wondering did basic at Benning
With all the 35 series assignments
Why is it not showing Huachuca
For AIT ????
Take a look at his record of assignments, Skippy. They all seem to have been DMOS 11B slots – even the ones in MI units (scout).
I saw your comment above
Makes sense
I was wondering the same thing until I saw his PMOS was 11B.
According to the second cite below, all slots are E-4 and above slots, even scout. Since he spent his entire enlistment in the 163 I would think he would have made at least E-3.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_surveillance
There seems to have been a bit of turmoil in the Army’s handling of long range recon. I find the wealth of recon detachments, companies, etc. and their constantly changing organization and unit designations to be confusing. Also a bit idiotic.
Agreed.
I found the wifey’s Fakebook page.
She is still sporting the suck. His suck.
It appears she has no other option, since phony hubby
shit all over every wedding photo.
John Grandizio, a living example of an
Idiot Savant, without the Savant.
https://www.facebook.com/mama.katazina/photos
I’ll bet it was a grandios wedding.
and… page sanitized already.
Yep it is. I had looked at it when md61 FIRST posted it this am and there were all kinds of pics. Wifey is kinda sorta a cutie pie in an easy on the eyes well constructed sort of way. IDC SARC would have to wait in line. Looks like there may be room for a d.i.v.o.r.c.e lawer in the future, everything about him is poof. There was a shot of his mirrored shades and another showing her, her baby girl(?) and an innocent puppy dog. And yes, we can all hear her now…”What else have you lied to me about?”
Bwaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha
5th/77th FA,
Oh oh….
2nd update..
Wifey’s Book of the Phake just went POOF.
Fj,
Wow…
The phony Ranger / Green Beret photos are all gone.
That just happened in the last 3 hours.
I guess she (now) knows her wedding photos are crap.
Between the internet infamy for mugshots AND Stolen Valor,
I suspect she knows her marriage is also crap, too.
Hack can just imagine her Father exploding after finding out about his meathead son in law after shelling out all that cash for that wedding reception. Maybe he and a few of his Philly buddies will invite John Grandizio to a weekend hunting trip deep in the Pine Barrens.
The McManus clan is non too pleased, I’m sure.
Philly Irish angered by a Jersey Italian.
Sounds like a recipe for a canoe trip
on the cold dark brown waters
of the Wading River.
Without a paddle. Or a life jacket.
MEGA DOUCHE NUGGET of a Prom Night Dumpster Baby!!!
Yes ChipNASA, go ahead and add that to the Official TAH Hemisphere of Insults®™!
This guy was a Benning boy like myself. Even worse. He was Bulldog Company of my fucking training bath. 2-54th Infantry “Mailed Foot”. He should be proud to be from the Mailed Foot Regiment, have a blue cord, a fucking purple heart and a Combat Action Badge. Regardless of rank or TIS. That Purple Heart should be enough.
Something is wrong here, from OSUT to Iraq and wounded in less than a year. No f in way a Division scout section would deploy without selecting someone, especially someone this FNG-green.
Something is seriously wrong with the timeline and quals. I’d guess a PAC clerk squeezed it on there, CAB? Really? But it just don’t work.
I’m going to go out on a limb:
Turd.
I stand corrected: 163rd MI was LRSD for III Corps, an even more prestigious position, according to Global Security:
On 17 October 2006, the Battalion reorganized and recieved 2 Long Range Surveillance Datachments as part of the transformation of the 504th Military Intelligence Brigade. These Detachments were activated at Fort Hood, Texas and were immediately scheduled to deploy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 08-10. On 29 October 2007, the Battalion redeployed to Fort Hood, Texas from Operation Iraqi Freedom 06-08.
These guys are pretty damn hard working dudes, many Batt boys on hiatus. Still fishy.
Ok, last one. I get this guy’s unearned sense of entitlement. 163rd was assigned to ‘Blue Watch’ which, I presume, was augmenting with TF West/Blue (DEVGRU/75th Ranger) which was involved in Ramadi at the same time.
Even TF 145 needed MI weenies…
Another score for Big (GO) Army Phonies (BEAT NAVY). We appreciate the help John Hames Grandizio. Now maybe you John Hames Grandizio, will appreciate the help we are giving you for your Google Fame. Man you are even a piss poor embellisher. No doo rag, no mirrored shades, no moto sickle, where’s your service dog? Damn man. get with the program. You do have that whole meat gazing stare down pretty good, so there is that. Was your wound from getting a bruised taint? Is your new bride questioning everything about about you now that she is finding out about your embellished military service?
Embrace the suck…Bitch! Guess it does suck to be you now.

Is that a Gen. Custer Indian scout ribbon among the fruit salad. I tried to see in his pic if he was wearing a Capt. Midnite decoder ring on his finger.
I often notice the phonies never have clusters or stars on their ribbons. I looked to see if he had a knot on his good cookie and couldn’t find a good cookie. He must have missed that line on the wannabe checklist.
Just wondering if they honeymooned in Merritt Island, Florida.
New Jersey.
It appears they are from the Philly burbs,
and had a beach wedding at (or near) Cape May, NJ.
That was the area that Hack Stone grew up in, if ever grew up. Wondering if this guy invited Gunny Driveway to the wedding.
He’s from NJ. She is from PA.
Check the jail, arrest, mugshot posts below.
Ugh, this guy.
He was arrested in South Carolina on a fugitive from justice warrant, also known as “arrested on an out of state warrant.”
In the usual course of events he would waive extradition and be shipped up to New Jersey to face the actual criminal charges.
Once the waiver of extradition was signed, the South Carolina charge would be dismissed.
Booked in on the 13th of March, 2015 released on the 30th after 17 days in jail.
That report doesn’t say if he was “released to hold” (New Jersey came to South Carolina and picked him up); or if New Jersey dropped its hold (“You keep him, we don’t want him”); or if South Carolina gave up on New Jersey coming to pick him up and the judge simply ordered him released.
The real question is: What did New Jersey want him for?
There has to be a leather vest and a motorcycle somewhere here in this steaming hot mess.
There just has to be.
I sincerely hope that a Dog isn’t involved.
Is this the same guy? The same John James Grandizio?
Of course it is.
Check out the MUGSHOT.
FUGITIVE from South Carolina,
CAPTURED & JAILED in New Jersey in 2015.
https://www.rapsheetz.com/southcarolina/northcharleston-jail/GRANDIZIO_JOHN/0001492628
Arrested again, on a warrant, in NJ in 2016.
He’s from New Jersey,
and his WIFEY is from SE PA.
How much of all this does SHE know about?
https://local.nixle.com/alert/5825347/
So he rang in 2017 with his besest buds Tiny and Bubba? At midnight he got to watch the balls drop.
Bet you he’s a professional salad tosser… with jelly!
Yup, that’s him. As usual, the fakery is just the cherry 🍒 on top of the sundae.
Ballad of the Green Bidet
Dedicated to John Grandizio, fake Green Beret
Faking assholes, like this guy,
The fat slobs, who always lie.
Men who failed in every way,
Try to steal,
The Green Beret.
E-bay wings, upon his chest,
Doo-rag and dog, check out the vest!
One hundred times, they’ll boast today,
“Believe me man,
I’m a Green Beret!”
The Internet, has found him out.
Gone his name, and his clout.
His own shit, upon his tray,
Served to him,
A Green Bidet.
Comfort dog, at his side.
Shiny HD, for his ride.
He will pose, another day,
Because he earned,
The Green Bidet
Tip ‘o the chapeau to 11B-mailclerk,
RCAF-CHAIRBORNE, A Proud Infidel®™, and 26Limabeans
Douchebag haircut, on his head
Goofy beard, upon his chin
Many winos, he’ll blow today
Because he is, a Green Bidet.
Wedding Pics on a Facebook Page
Stripes on sleeves don’t match his age
100 Vets will laugh today
Because they know he’s a Green Bidet
Just what else, did you lie about?
She jumped up, to scream and shout!
I’ve heard the lore, you lying whore.
Take your ass, right out that door!
His uniform isn’t complete without this:
https://www.gearupfl.com/air-force-badge-space-operations-insignia.html
What a dickless queef! Never go full retard. He’s getting close to McSoup Sandwich.
Haven’t seen an “action beard” like that since the ’70s “adventurer” G.I. Joe with kung fu grip. It’s neither AR 670-1 nor the cool SF/Blackwater “contractor” relaxed grooming standards.
Irony. They put beards on G I Joe to demilitarize the toy, converting to “The Adventure Team”.
Now? Heh.
Checking John and Kate’s wedding page on The Knot I was surprised MSG Les Brown (USA, Ret.) was not named Best Man. Maybe soon the happy couple will honeymoon or vacation in Elko, NV and enjoy some delicious chili with the “awareness association.”
Comm Center Rat,
Good catch.
Here’s the link of happier times at The Knot,
now brought to an abrupt stop.
I’m sure he’s NOT the bullshit badass biker vest type,
which isn’t very popular at the Jersey Shore,
except on off-season Biker week.
However, it could be in his future.
https://www.theknot.com/us/kate-mcmanus-and-john-grandizio-mar-2020/photos/2799987
I’m thinking Kate and the kids may be living at gramma’s house right now. Johnny boy done shit the bed.
Worse, she has to pay the Walt Whitman Bridge toll,
just to get the F out of Jersey,
and safely back to Pennsylvania.
Let’s hope she has HIS EZ-Pass.
Hack always wondered if you are paying to get out of New Jersey or paying to get in Pennsylvania. Never got a good answer.
This is one of the few clown I have ever seen that truly embraces the suck.
Does dressing up in a fake uniform give grounds for a divorce?
Or just a carte Blanche for a spot of infidelity?
I can only imagine she will be rolling out soon.
She must be embarrassed as hell. Some stick around, though.
If I were her friends, I would be telling her to split and fast. If this clown did this, what else is he capable of….?
This. The rancid cherry theory is rarely wrong.
I think it may have advanced beyond the theory stage.
Yes, it seems to have become more than just a hypothesis, if we consider the past ten years’ worth of phonies.
If someone could document the original
hypothesis there could be both the Nobel
and Pulitzer prize awaiting that person.
Mathamatics professors at MIT are getting
ready to declare it a known constant.
Structural Engineers are dumbfounded as to
how this simple stacking of a Cherry as
the Cupola could have escaped them for so long.
It’s worth researching.
Definitely proof of dishonesty during the divorce proceedings!

Well, this answers some questions.
Exiting the 96th Street Pub in Stone Harbor, NJ our hero decided to fight the police. He woke up on the back seat of a patrol car. (You would think that a real Airborne Ranger Green Beret would have put up a better fight).
As the song says “I fought the law … and the law won.”
He pled guilty to Disorderly Conduct, a minor offense. But then he turned around and sued the arresting officers in federal district court for a civil rights violation. The above opinion dismisses most of his claims, and implies that the rest of his complaint was bogus was well.
But this arrest was in 2013, the lawsuit was filed in 2014. So whatever led to his arrest in South Carolina in 2015 was something else altogether.
So, while doing google-fu on Kate and Johns wedding, I came across a Facebook post from Congressman Jeff Van Drew(R-NJ). “Today I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of Army Ranger John Grandizio and his bride Kate. Congratulations to the beautiful couple and thank you…”
I couldn’t read the whole post because I only had a cached copy from Google. Apparently, the Senator either deleted or hid his comment sometime after writing it. I wonder if he found out the truth. I hope so.
Now, that has to be really embarrassing for the bride.
Edit; I said he was a Senator in the second part.. JVD was a Senator until 2019 ( as a Dem), but now is a Republican Congressman. Sorry for the confusion. and good for him for smartening up.
Here’s the MOM, on Fakebook.
She has wedding photos full of phony suck, too,
and…..
back in 2010, posted about her RANGER SON.

To My American Soldier ” My One and Only Johnny” you continue to make me soo proud. Your love of this family and our country continues to amaze me. Happy Vet Day to all Vets but especially my son Sgt E-5 John Grandizio Army Ranger! XO
(end paste)
Ugh, he lied to his own mother.
https://www.facebook.com/debi.papperman/photos
A treasure trove of phony photos here with MOM.
Nov 2019 – He’s (only) an E-5 SGT Phony Ranger.
There’s MORE….
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3093885780626861&set=pb.100000164079451.-2207520000..&type=3&theater
THIS is why John Grandizio is always hiding his left arm.
He has a BLING TATTOO.
Here it is, on Mom’s Fakebook page.
Can anyone determine what this tat is?
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2020893191259464&set=pb.100000164079451.-2207520000..&type=3&theater
Unsure.
Probably a picture of his face with a dick in the mouth.
He is SO 8TFU in that pic I don’t know where to start!
1. It appears that John Grandizio is wearing Butterbars” on his shoulders next to whatever unit insignia he’s sporting.
2. John Grandizio is wearing gold E5 Rank on his collar when in real life he’d be wearing shoulder boards on his shirt.
3. John Grandizio is not wearing a name tag..
4. John Grandizio is sporting a beard NOT IAW with AR670-1.
5. John Grandizio is wearing the Officer US insignia instead of discs saying US and branch.
6. John Grandizio has a “Jacob’s Ladder” and his unearned CIB is at the bottom of the soup sandwich fruit salad he’s sporting.
WHAT kind of douchemonkey of a Prom Night Dumpster Baby would lie to his own Momma like that?
4.
Sorry for intrusion. In the pic with “mom” and he (in his class a’s): are those mini ranger tabs he is sporting on his shoulders? Damn.
Feel bad for wife, kids, mom, etc.
Holy shit they are! Good catch!
I think I now understand why they moved
Fort Dix out of New Jersey.
Wondering if this another nugget from this guy’s background….
1) John J. Grandizio of Dennisville was charged with arson, criminal trespass, unlawful possession of a weapon (shotgun), and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
https://www.capemaycountyherald.com/news/crime/article_0cb854c8-fd9d-5f99-a8dd-5bfa39401335.html
2) The story lists date of incident as 24 Sep 07 which would be after this yo-yo was dumped by Uncle Sugar.
3) Dennisville is in Cape May County NJ and is near Woodbine which was listed in his 2016 arrest.
How bout it…John James Grandizio??
The hits just keep coming.
I suppose we can assume he is code F (Felon).
Hope the kids are safe and far away.
He lives a pretty good life…
the fishing boats, the waverunners, the parties, the women…

How bout it…John James Grandizio??
Consider John Grandizio’s perspective on being a military phony. Dressing up in a uniform with awards and achievements he never earned is nothing more than a slight speed bump on his long road of mischief and scrapes with the law. He thinks that posing as a “hero” offsets the disappointment he has brought to others in his life. His recent actions have only added to the disappointment.
As for his mom, she must know her son is a total flake. By her promoting images of her “Ranger SGT” son, must be her way of proclaiming that he is much more than his history shitbaggery.
Sad situation all the way around.
The MOM’s newest FlakeBook post, just minutes ago…

In most cases the world works on a very simple principle:
“I worked for it; I earned it; I deserve it.”
But the Grace of God is something radically different!
Grace is God giving of himself because of Who He Is,
not because of who we are. (end paste)
IMHO, She is a phony enabler, now hiding behind God.
How convenient (in the Dana Carvey / Church Lady voice).
Any simple photo searching by the McManus family will clearly show
she watched her son PROMOTE HIMSELF (from E-5 to E-7),
and more than DOUBLE his medal and ribbon salad,
all in the past 5 years.
Perhaps she should be preaching to her SON,
and not everyone else (on FlakeBook).

A Poser Supporter.
Those are the worst.
Green Thumb,
Someone clicked her an “Angry” for the God post….
and she just posted more religion,
this time it’s about Jesus.
She can’t pray this one away.
Especially when the Phony Green Beret photos remain.
Religion and salvation are usually the refuge of a scoundrel.
But the last refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time.
But you can’t fool Jesus.
But it appears this douche-canoe can fool his mom all the time.
Ty Hempe damn sure did.
MOM Papperman is making changes to her FlakeBook page…
but the Mom and Son with phony suck photo remains.

Defiant Trespasser? Oh man that is another way

John Grandizio is obviously a central pillar of his community – NOT!!!

Hard to say if and when she returns…

Hmmmm.
