Brent North: Penn State/SEAL/ATF phony
Mary tells me that sequestration is hitting the National Personnel Records Center pretty hard, so a lot of our FOIAs are tied up in the resulting work slow down. Luckily, we have enough friends who are doing the work that I can snag their product for us and pray that they don’t mind.
This one is from Guardian of Valor in a link sent to us by Enrique. This spooge rag, Brent North, lived his lies for years even impressing a a former lady friend with his daring-do, until she found out the truth, that he wasn’t a Penn State Quarterback, a Navy SEAL or an ATF agent. Apparently, the ATF wasn’t too pleased either because when the folks at Guardian of Valor told them about, the ATF raided his place. GoV has pictures of his ill-gotten booty – mostly certificates of his phony career. Even a forged cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine with his name and picture as a star of Penn State’s 1986 football team.
As GoV points, it’s the math that gets him. He has certificates for service while he says he was at Penn State, his rank goes up and down inconsistently with the dates and his tales. From Onward State;
Throughout his life, North had falsely claimed that he was a Navy SEAL, an ATF agent, and a star quarterback at Penn State in 1986. Although fibbing about being a Nittany Lion football player isn’t illegal, lying about being a federal agent is, and North was recently indicted for Impersonating a Federal Agent according to the website.
Anyway, he was a Marine;
Good bust, guys. I guess now he’s going to find out what it was really like to be on Sandusky’s football squad. What? Too soon?

Strange how I heard that he was dishonorable discharged and the records show him as discharged as a private. I asked his ex wife about it when speaking with her after figuring him out and she said he was in marine corp for a short time but would not elaborate. She was afraid of him. He stole several of her pins and name tag for his shadow box. She is in the army. He also claimed to receive a Purple Heart. Even showed me a picture of himself in a hospital bed with the Purple Heart next to him. He had a huge scar on his back and said it was from the Somalia incident. A missile grenade. Everything he said was bullshit. He was very good at his craft of lying.
@51
When you get a DD…it is as a Private/E-1
Ok. Thanks for clarifying :).
This is a rhetorical question by now: why don’t these glitches in the human species take up writing novels instead of making fools of themselves with obvious errors.
Even Mikey thinks this guy is a twit.
@54: That would be a far better choice, wouldn’t it. They already have vivid imaginations and the skills to make stuff up. Why not put it all to good use? *shrug*
But Chris, his ‘buddy’ told you what an awesome and special guy he is! How could you not believe in him?! Shame on you.
Srsly – good work. You sound like everything he thought he himself was.
He stole his ex-wife’s military decorations for his SV fakery? What a chode sniffer.
The guy has issues that stem from way back, I think. He never felt good enough to his parents.. Divorced parents, Dad in and out of jail. Mom married 5 times w all losers. None of them paid any attention to him. I think he chose to spend his adult life as a liar to impress everyone bc his entire childhood, he felt like a loser. Mentally, he has major issues… But he was a very funny, charming and people surrounded him bc of his personality. He fooled so many people. Almost fits the description of a sociopath. I feel sorry for his son. He is a private in the army, 19 year old kid who thought his Dad was a war hero…ATF Agent and star quarterback. His son is the kindest 19 year old ive ever met. I sure hope he never takes after his pond scum of a father.
@56—I honestly didn’t receive the letter until I was a couple months Into the relationship. It went to my spam folder (see—even the computer called bullshit on it) lol
I thought it was the weirdest thing I ever saw but if the story was true, I figured maybe his buddy really looked out for him that much… Love is blind! There is so much more to this story that I didn’t even disclose to SV. Maybe it will be on that show “date from hell”. Lol
I was figuring him out little by little, along the way. I was becoming a detective…maybe I’m in the wrong field of work. Lol.
Dirtbag
Bedwetter
Love is blind, but you were not.
Chode sniffer. He’ll be indulging that hobby in size, soon enough.
I sure hope so!!!! He deserves to be scared to take every shower!!!!
Chris, VERY soon, he’ll be SQUEEEAALING like a ‘lil piggy, first for Bubba & Thor, then for whoever they pimp him out to for cigarettes, magazines, or whatever else!! I have friends who are in LE and Corrections, they tell me stories about what happens to pukes like him……
Awesome! He deserves everything he has coming to him!! His lies cost him his job, probably the relationship with his kids, all of his friends, his apartment… Hope it was worth it for him!
WTF not even a full enlistment,and out as a E-1,he was shit canned for sure total fuck up,now playing ricky recon.Hang him by his tiny balls.
Chris, as others have said, thank you for showing the intestinal fortitude to turn this joker in. It’s never easy to choose the hard right over the easy left. Stay safe and may you find the “right one” soon.
And if you ever date a veteran again…You know where to come to check his story out.
Ex-PH2: Mikey is a cat, so he probably thinks pretty much every human is a twit. (I’m convinced cats think they own us or consider us their staff vice the other way around.) But he also thinks that some of us (1) are trainable to perform useful services for him, and (2) have dull fingernails that feel good when they scratch him. (smile)
Left the Corps, after 3 years plus odd change, as a Private (E1, I s’pose) and not a Lance Corporal? What’d he do?
@67–short of someone who had served with him saying, or him fessing up, not likely to find the exact story.
DD-214 would be a start but wouldn’t give much more than we already know aside from type of discharge and separation code.
@65–Thank you 🙂 It was the only thing to do, by turning him in. Next date will have to provide drivers license, military records,background check and credit report!! LOL
Thanks Chris for doing what You Did. You help a lot of people out with what you did. Because we believe what he was saying. He hurt a lot of people at his last Job he was at, lots of these people was friend of mine. Thanks again.
@70-Yes, he did hurt alot of people. He turned my world upside down, to say the least. And by turning him in, had nothing to do with revenge. Had everything to do with stealing valor! NO ONE should EVER take credit for what our military and law enforcement do for us each day, while putting their lives on the line! He deserves to be punished and serve as an example to all other posers!!!
This turd is very similar to Phildo.
I was searching the web a few days ago and found the article on the Valor website. I wasn’t a bit surprised, I too was lied to by this sociopath and as “Chris” says this guy is smooth, charming and very well spoken. I confronted him on his wall of “fame”…..his service certificates and navy seal pics about how the pics didn’t look anything like him and the next weekend the entire shrine was gone. It’s so easy to get sucked in by someone as charming as he was,….but then the lies kept adding up and phone conversations I heard he lied about,….he was married right out of high school, has never told his children,….she went to GA with him for his VERY short stint and they divorced. HE told me she hit him and she was sent to jail but kids I believe it to be the other way around,….you don’t piss him off and she must have. He emailed me on MySpace and so it began,……he was still married to his wife at the time but they were not living together, at least I don’t think so, he wouldn’t let his kids meet me but all his friends did. He is a pathological liar and an extreme sociopath. Very scary stuff and I pray every nite for impersonating an ATF officer he gets what’s coming to him. If he reads this, he’ll know who it is,…I’m not trying to hide from him…..he told me I needed a psychiatrist when I confronted him on the phone when we split…said I was crazy and told all his friends. He said if I tried contacting his friends he’d press charges….now we know he didn’t want me giving away his secrets. Thank GOD for the woman that turned him in, GOD BLESS YOU!
Does anyone know what ended up happening with him? Has he been convicted?
