Guardians of the Green Beret states that Nicholas Paea is not a Green Beret. (Guardians of the Green Beret)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Guardians of the Green Beret (GOTGB) posted about Nicholas Paea on their website. They state that during a job interview, Nicholas Paea claimed to have served at 7th SFG(A). According to GOTGB, the one doing the interview was also with 7th SFG(A). He also claimed to be with 1\/7 SFG(A), and ODA 721, which the interviewer was also assigned to.<\/p>\n

From GOTGB:<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s when Mike brought up the subject of Special Forces. Nick was more than willing to talk about his SF exploits. The meeting started going sideways when Nicholas mention he completed the Special Forces Qualification Course without having to go through Robin Sage ( Final FTX in the Special Forces Qualification Course) because he did TDY time with Teams before the Q-Course. (Not Happening). It went further off point when he claimed to have been on ODA 721 the same ODA that Mike was a Team Leader on, within a few years.<\/p>\n

What are the chances you sit across from someone and you choose the same ODA that he served on as a TL only years before?<\/p>\n

You can’t make this stuff up if you wanted to.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Paea the fake Green Beret tells people he served multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq with the 7th Special Forces Group. He also claims he received 2 Purple Hearts. He claims one is from being hit by an IED, which gave him a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).<\/p>\n

He claims a Bronze Star with Valor and is seen wearing a CIB (Combat Infantryman’s Badge) with a star, which means he would have had to seen action in another theater besides the War on Terror. He also wears a Blue Infantry cord, yet is seen wearing it on the wrong side of the uniform!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
