Potential Fraud/Poser????
 

All,

I am trying to confirm or deny, as the case may be, an individuals claim to have served as a QP in 7th and 10th and a OD-D operator.
I retired from 10SFG in 2005 and am now working as a DA civilian in Utah and upon accepting the position last August I was given an in-brief from this individual as the installation General Manager (GM) which is a GS -15 paygrade. Most of our discussion at that time didn't meet my QP validation process.

However, since the individual was in a position to hire and fire on the spot as an equivalent installation Commander, I didn't press the issue at the time.

Over the past year numerous personel on and off installation have approached me asking for verification of the individuals stated credentials because of the physical posturing and hero stories the individual keeps spewing out with every breath.

This particular individual has since departed and is now working for a private company, but has left a large number of the workforce on this installation with a bad taste in their mouth at the mention of SF.

Additionally, I have received information from other QP's that this individual may be a Fraud/Poser and has managed to utilize his self proclaimed military background as a tool to land numerous supervisory/executive level positions and then suddenly finds a life changing event to justify his departure before the questions and inquiries get too involved.

I have attached the individuals linkedin address. Please take a look and provide feed back so I can either confirm the fraud or dispell the local rumors and defend one of the brotherhood. I also have he individuals personal bio used for hire to the position he held here if needed.

Thanks.

Christopher Calvin Grigsby, "Supply Sergeant"
 

Well well well, guess who's records I ran in 2009..... I knew I remembered that name..... I have his official military records that I requested from three years ago.

Christopher Calvin Grigsby

Seems another Special Forces soldier wanted to know if he was SF also.

I have this guys military records and he was a "Supply Sergeant".

He's been to every supply school on the planet according to him military records.

Was he a Special Forces soldier, NO.

That's pretty damned funny right there.:D

hmmm...looks like he left Ft Sill when I got here.

Also seems to be a job hopper too! Hasn't held a steady position for more than 2 years!

BAM...BOOM...BooooYAH.

Chris was at 10th Main between 97 and 2001, working in GSC or HHC as the PBO or OCIE.

From his job hopper status, "he appears to be running".

Red Cheetah Bio
 

He's got quite the bio over at his new job...

You should give him a call to say "hey"...(512) 681-4589

It was all a big joke until he mentioned a message to Garcia.

Having just looked at the picture on the 'cheetah site...I think he was the same Grigsby that was our supply sergeant in JRTC back in mid '90s.

You have an excellent memory because Supply Sergeant Christopher Calvin Grigsby was in fact the supply sergeant at JRTC from 93-97.

He started his "Supply Sergeant" career in Special Operations in 1988. And was also the supply sergeant "NCOIC" with 10th Group in Germany.

This is the second time in three years I've received comms that this indivudual is pretending to be a Special Forces soldier. If I find aomething in writing that he states he was an SF soldier then this thread will go into the Hall of Shame.

He sometimes was the "OPFUND money" guy when C-1/10 deployed. He worked down the street in the S4. Small world......

This asshat is one of the reasons legit guys sometimes have trouble finding work. I often think that civilians buyin to the bullshit and take that at face value. Do any companies really vet their employees any more?

Maybe we should fabricate a "war hero" and have the fabricated person apply for positions and political appointments based on the faux CV to root out the companies and groups that rally behind these douche bags.

Thought you all would appreciate the following quote from his Red Cheetah bio:

Why I continue to show up for work:
I'm a plank holding member of attacking any pirate ship with a putty knife club. I have spent a Federal active military and civilian service career leaning against every conceivable windmill around the globe in both peace and war and I find there are a few more dragons to slay in the business and corporate contexts.

WTF??? How many "dragons did he slay" working in CIF?

I'm reminded of the exchange between MAJ Powers and COL Meyers in Heartbreak Ridge.

The supply room can be a very dangerous place to work!
