2005-2011 - Alleged Military/Federal Agency Service

​​

April 2005-December 2009 - On his LinkedIn, Mills claims he was a DynCorp International Security Protective Specialist - Team Leader/DDM

​

​Cory Mills lied on his DynCorp bio/application, falsely claiming that he served in the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment and that he went to US Army Sniper School. This document has been authenticated by several of Mills' superiors at DYN Corp. We are conducting additional FOIA requests to get more documentation related to this and his other false military-related claims. 

 

*In order to take the State Department Designated Defense Marksman course and be hired as a DDM for DYNCorp, Mills would have had to provide proof that he was either a military school trained sniper or that he had gone through police, SWAT, or other state approved agency to get approved. He also had to provide proof of medic training to be hired for that designation as well. Mills had no such training. He lied on his applications/bios. ​​​

​

Specialized Training or Certification of Training:

• 02/1999 91W Combat Medical Course

• 06/1999 National Registry EMT-B

• 02/2000 75th Ranger Indoc


• 04/2000 NREMT-P

• 06/2000 Paramedic BTLS


• 08/2000 Advanced Trauma Life Support


• 04/2001 Advanced Cardiac Life Support


• 08/2001 Special Operations Medical (SOCM) Course

​

He did not even enter the army until July 1999. How did he complete the Combat Medical Course and National Registry EMT-B before even entering the army?
 

• 91B Converted to 91W in October 2001

• The 91W MOS required additional training and the maintenance of civilian EMT certification

• Successful EMT course completion became grad requirement for courses during 2000

• Mills’ Official Military Personnel File shows no record of him attending Fort Sam Houston for these trainings.

• His DD214 shows: 0 years, 0 months as 91W Healthcare Specialist. His OMPF showed his last MOS as 91B.

• There is no record of Mills doing the SOCM Course.

• There is no record of Mills being at Fort Moore.

• There is no record of Mills being in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

• There is no record of Mills attending Army sniper school.

Army combat medics (68W) who also have completed Army Basic Airborne Course and Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP) and become members of Ranger Battalions will attend SOCM.

Mills lied about being in the 75th Ranger Regiment, lied about completing SOCM Course, lied about completing Combat Medical Course, lied about completing Army Sniper school.

​

​Multiple team leaders and higher ups at DynCorp have come forward stating that Mills was told to provide his DD214 or get out; his employment was ultimately terminated for failure to produce the requested records. They also say he was not a team leader or shift leader, and describe that Mills' claims of military experience and training did not match up with his records. Additionally, many of his colleagues reportedly did not want to ride with Mills due to his attitude and lack of work ethic. 

​​

Regarding the incidents in 2006 when Mills claims he was blown up twice / wounded while deployed:

• Mills claims he was blown up twice in Iraq in 2006 while deployed; he left the army in 2003 and is very evasive when asked about this incident and his alleged injuries but described it as a "good experience." 

• Mills left the army in 2003​, then went on to work for contractors and a foreign NGO.

• If Mills was truly a wounded combat veteran while on active duty, there would be a Purple Heart shown in his military records.​

• ​Per the State Department Official Records:

  • "March 15, 2006 – Baghdad, Iraq: A U.S. Embassy motorcade was attacked by a roadside bomb, disabling one vehicle but causing no injuries." ​Multiple of Mills' colleagues and superiors at DYN Corp say Cory was NOT in the vehicle that was hit. 

  • "April 19, 2006 - Baghdad, Iraq: Unknown individuals attacked a U.S. Embassy motorcade with an explosive device and small arms fire, injuring two U.S. Army personnel and two security contractors." Several of Mills' DynCorp colleagues and superiors say Mills was not in the vehicle that was hit. Mills bandaged the injured contractor S. Kimkins after the incident. 

  • Mills claims he was personally targeted by Iranian terrorists in Iraq in 2006; in another interview he claimed it was the Iranian government

• June 4, 2007 - Cory and Imelda Mills purchased a Townhouse in Jacksonville using 2 mortgages totaling $461,000

• June 2, 2008 – Imelda filed for divorce. Cory Mills was ordered to pay an IRS lien of $13,000, $20,000 of credit card debts, and more; Mills was in Jacksonville to sign and file the divorce paper submittals; see details here
