TS,

On the Red Cheetah site it shows they have 5 executive officers, of which Chris Grigsby is one. Another is listed as Orville Gardner, Vice President Strategic Alignments.

Orville's bio says "I believe my experience as a career Army Special Forces Officer with 23 years of service to our country will bring unique perspectives to problem solving and innovation."

I wonder if Mr. Gardner was part of the executive team hiring Mr. Grigsby without properly vetting him? If there was anything submitted in writing (resume/letters/emails) by Chris Grigsby, I'm guessing Orville Gardner would have access to it.

I'm sure Mr. Gardner knows that Chris Grigsby was a "supply sergeant"........:rolleyes:

And if not, I'm also sure that Red Cheetah employees will soon be reading this thread and know that Chris Grigsby was a "Supply Sergeant", a non-combatant and not a Special Forces soldier.

Paper cuts and bruised toes... ouch...:eek:

I don't know, those paper cuts can be pretty nasty.

I remember the time . . . no shit, there I was in front of the copier. . .

Most of our supply sergeants were "S" qualified back when - they were guys with lots of team time whose injuries kept them off teams but Group kept them to work the supply system for us. Guys like JB and such were outstanding SF soldiers who were outstanding supply sergeants and made sure the teams were supported to the max of their abilities. Things are different when the guys on the teams are guys you once served with as a team member.

Guess it's different now, though.

And so it goes...

Different since at least 1987

"Orville's bio says "I believe my experience as a career Army Special Forces Officer with 23 years of service to our country will bring unique perspectives to problem solving and innovation"

Holy crap! He was one of my team leaders back in C-1/10. They last time I heard his name, he was the IG at West Point. So does that count towards his 23 years of career SF officer time?

It does if you break it down...
Team Leader in C/1/10...start of SF career
Everything else done with crossed arrows still on his collar...makes him "career SF."

"23 total years of service"..... He was in A Co circa 1996... he had 011... I think before or after Grosso..

Just to clarify, when I brought up Orville Gardner, it was not to question his SF service. I see on LinkedIn he is connected to several SF LtC's and Colonels. I assumed they knew of his credentials.

I mentioned Orville Gardner because he is an executive officer in Red Cheetah, a software business in Austin, Tx....the same company where Chris Grigsby is also an executive. If Chris Grigsby (the supply sergeant and subject of this thread) has claimed he was Special Forces, Orville Gardner would be aware of that.

Thanks.....

Potential Fraud/Poser????
 

All,

Thanks for the input.........this helps clarify a few more issues at my location that are associated with Mr. Grigsby's name. It really doesn't surprise me to see that he has landed another executive position (Red Cheetah) particularly, when he was appointed an executive position through HQ IMCOM for the position he held as the installation GM here. I seriously doubt that anyone at his current company have looked any further than a conversation with him.

It's a sad situation when a coin check and brief conversation between individuals can no longer confirm membership in the brotherhood! I guess I need to retain a personal PI just for my own peace of mind!

Attached is the open source bio he used to background check himself to the installation here when assumed the GM position. Apparently, he left here with more than just a few lies dogging his backtrail...........these folks are pissed and are actively seeking retribution from a legal and personal standpoint! Including his ex-wife at HQ IMCOM.

I'm not sure if anything in the bio will help........but if he is a poser/fraud and there is anything I can do to hel "Slay a Dragon" I'm in!!!!!!

Respectfully to all!

Stras, maybe he is also counting his SFAS and Q course time as the 23 years? And he did come over from A Co to our team. But he was in above his head and didn't last long. I'm pretty sure he went down the S4 after he left the company? And that would be how he knows Grisby.......

I know Orville.

He is SF and is a decent guy, IMHO.

TR

I've known Orville since the start of his SF career.. last worked with him in 2010.

The question was posed by C2 was "how long he had been in SF(23yrs)". He served for 23 years, but about the last 19ish as SF.

Sorry to have confused everyone..

Granted I was nowhere near the US Embassy in 2006... But had about 8 months of working with ISOF SOF..... never heard of or saw Chris (a known entity to me) during that timeframe.
