As we begin our story, please
keep in mind that statements which are true and accurate are
not libelous but are instead, informative.
The US Navy
is to thank for the documentation on this site.
They were unable to make a sailor out of George but
by golly they made one heck of a clerk out of him!
He may not have learned discipline or neatness but
he surely learned to file. Throughout life George stamped and
filed everything - insurance forms, faxes, letters,
warranties, receipts, bank statements, even pages
where he practiced penning other people's signature...
oh, eh. The folks who thought they knew
George discovered there was so much more to learn.
We would also like to
thank George's daughter and her boyfriend for their
extraordinary contributions to this web site.
********************
George may be a cunning individual but no one we've
found would describe him as the brightest guy in the
room. He is a superstitious and gullible man who
accepts everything said on television as truth and who
saves and files "Sweepstakes" & "Get Rich Quick"
mailings. George
dislikes reading, has poor problem solving and coping
skills and is easily baffled. He has a superficial charm but is manipulative,
ungenerous, unlearned and unmannered.
Promiscuous as a young man he professes a belief in God and usually wears a purple
band on his wrist bearing the letters: WWJD. Although
he presents himself as a hardworking guy who just "can't
catch a break" his preferred means of support is
borrowed money and government funds. He has an
exaggerated sense of his self worth and has lived a
parasitic lifestyle. He has a yen for the finer things
in life such as Surf & Turf, John Deere equipment &
Mercedes Benz automobiles, unfortunately; his own income
didn't acquire those things for him.
He's claimed to have cancer since 1991 and his many
stories are designed to elicit sympathy for himself. He
is not above "begging" for government assistance, even
assistance to which he is not entitled.
He
has animosity towards anyone who expects money from him
such as the phone company, the electric company and
landlords. He fails to honor his financial
obligations and views older debts as irrecoverable.
George successfully compartmentalized his life so his
family, friends, investors and acquaintances had a
limited view of his actions and activities. This
accounting will likely produce surprises
for even those who knew him for his lifetime.
The psychiatrist at the Veterans Administration
described George accordingly: "Mr. Mauger is an
angry man with a penetrating stare and a confident,
aggressive manner that at first makes him seem truthful
and in need of redress, but soon develops into a
melodrama of self-justification." The VA
records we obtained mention but do not state which
Personality Disorder was diagnosed, but we have our own
suspicions.
George
does not accept responsibility for his own actions and
has escaped the consequences of those actions, well;
until now.
Note to George: Surprise! We're
guessing you never expected to find anything like this on
the World Wide Web. Welcome to a review of your life
wherein you failed to generate much good will but did
generate much ill will. You've even unknowingly moved
a number of professionals across the country to devoting
some time and attention to your activities. So heads up George, your lack of
conscience has finally betrayed you.
This site will be here
at least until the authorities are ready to deal with
you. Anyone, anywhere will be able to type your
name into any search engine and find out all about
you. Isn't that special?
When you read this site
George, or when it is read to you, we suggest you use a
dictionary to help
you understand those words which are unfamiliar to you.
Save this link to your favorites,
http://dictionary.reference.com/ as we're certain it
will prove helpful to you. We will not be writing this site at a fourth grade
reading level
to accommodate you.
In 1957 George Castle Mauger
II was born to a hardworking father who was a veteran of
WWII and a professional mother, an RN nurse. His
family included 2 brothers and 1 sister. The children
were free of want and had the benefit of a cohesive family and
good schools. The Maugers could easily be described as hardworking
& neighborly people. Somehow though, George's
values differ from those shared by his family.

Since age 14, George had been
a volunteer firefighter, a fact he quickly delivers as
confirmation of his goodliness. He unknowingly
acquired the nickname "Smokey" not due to any firefighting
expertise but as a result of his chain smoking.
George's brothers recalled
an unexplainable parenting tack with George.
While their parents wisely chose to permit their children to
deal with the consequences of their actions, for whatever
reason they unwisely "rescued" George when he erred.
We suspect that George may not have had the character building experience of
handling his own problems and so may not have learned to take
responsibility for his own actions.
As a teen, George was involved
in a motorcycle accident and had successful surgery
on his left knee in December, 1973. He claimed
back pain from this accident. Throughout
George's life there were accidents, injuries and
surgeries which were always the basis for his
ongoing and increasing drug usage. |
His brothers recalled that
while in High School, George "narked" on a classmate
which made school life extremely difficult for his siblings.
George however dropped out of High School and failed to earn
his diploma.
The photo to the right had the
caption "stoned again naturally."
At 17 years of age on June 6,
1974, George enlisted with the US Navy.
His letters have been
faithfully transcribed and so include misspellings and
grammar errors.

 From
a letter home dated June 22, 1974 he wrote:
You wouldn't believe the number of kid and men too trying to
get discharged from the Navy. Why the hell did they
join in the first place?
He goes on to write about the
future: I just might go into
reserves after 4 years. I'll be 21 and probably want
to raise a family after I get financially secured but will
see when the time comes that I'm not going to rush because I
have to pick the right mother for my children.
He later wrote:
You know mom what little grandmom used
to say "when their little they step on your feet and when
their big they step on your heart." I will always
remember that. And I remember you always said you'll
never know till you're a parent. Well I don't know but
I realize now how much heartache I really cause and now I
know a little bit about what you mean and I'm very sorry for
it. This letter also contains an apology for
forgetting Father's Day.
Not long after
his enlistment, George reportedly fell down the
stairs of his barracks and was evaluated at the
Great Lakes Naval Medical Center.
George found physical therapy for his injury
painful and he refused the therapy. He had
a number of complaints about the hospital.
In one complaint dated September 1, he wrote:
I would also like a
full investigation of the care of the patients.
Some are sick, some very sick but just because
their IR's they hold a field day.
Everything about this is wrong it's a hospital
not a boot camp and should be left in bed.
We have a maid or cleaning lady who comes in
regularly to clean this is her job.
Later in the month he wrote this to his parents:
Hi, how goes all?
I'm fine considering the circumstances, these
people never can stop harassing me it really is
getting me very mad but I'll make it. 50
pushups and 150 jumping jacks and some other
ones are a little step but I'm just going to do
my best in hopes that I'll make it, boy I really
hope so.
Nobody is here now everybody is out having fun.
All I have to do is smoke and coke and study
it's a real bummer. I'll tell you. I
just can't tell you just how much I appreciate
you being on the other end of the line you just
don't realize how much you help me work things
out it not that I can't do it myself, but you
know how I get when I'm mad and upset. I
just can't judge what's right. I mean it
might seem right at the moment but I just don't
look into the future. You know what I
mean. Well I'm going to polish my shoes
and do some studying. Bye Love Your
Sailor, George
********************
George was repeatedly referred
to the Dispensary with back pain. As Mrs.
Mauger's letters revealed, his parents fought to
keep him in the Navy.
On
September 25, George wrote this letter:
Dear Parents: Hi.
Boy it was so nice to talk to you today you gave
me some support. When I came back I told
my C.C. what I had did he is taking to
disciplinary tomorrow. I'll just lie cause
they don't believe me that it will get better
soon. Let's hope I make it to tomorrow it
is going to be real hard as you say but I'll
make it. I was just thinking to myself (at
chow) mom if I make it through here I can really
be considered 'a real sailor' and a real man not
a boy any more. ha! Cause I'm
hurting, sad, affraid and a little homesick and
most of all lonely for someone to talk to you
know what I mean. Really it's times like
these that someone need a somebody. I hope
you can understand that and I know now that when
your lonely and heartbroken and sick the only
real friends that I can count on is my family
and I just can't tell you how much I appriciate
everything you've done for me. Thanks.
Did you get my first letter yet? By the
time this one arrives the other one should be
them. Well got to go for now.
Remember I love you all and again is send love
and a big thanks. Please don't stop
praying O.K. As I know you won't. Love
Your Sailor, George

On September 27 George wrote this letter
to his parents:
Dear Parents, Hi, how are you? Well
I made it. Dr. Lange was there he said I
think you've had more than ample time to rec-operate.
I said well doctor respectfully I don't have a
beard or long hair and my name isn't Jesus
Christ so there for since I can't preform
mericolise it's going to take a little time for
my back to heal so he said O.K. I get the point
he knew I was really P.O. when I found him in
the office he said O.K. and he made me do some
exercises. I did 40 pushups and 100
jumping jacks 30 deep knee bends and 30 each of
those he wanted me to do in the beginning it
hurt like hell but I was completely worth it to
prove him wrong. I expect him to still try
to get me out cause he said next time your C.C.
says you have pain you are out and I don't care
how many Senators or Congressmen you sick on me.
Well that what he said and I said to myself kiss
off. So I'm in now and I'm feeling great
except for a little pain. Well take care
and try to write O.K. Love Your Sailor,
George

********************
October 10 George wrote this letter home:

reply they said we know it's complicated that's
why were having ya doing it, it really made me
proud. I'm 2 man down the pole the first

includes smoke breaks. I told the men if
you stay squared away as well as the
compartment, well get along good with ample time
for smoke breaks and letter writting, well they

lose me cause I'm a natural leader and I'd
probably make an officer in no time!!! All

On
October 10 George requested 14 days leave to
return home.
"I'd like to be at home for my Mom & little
brothers birthday."
|
George was
never able to keep up with his Company in Recruit
Training. Multiple attempts at rehabilitation
including physical therapy, the use of Butazolidin and
light duty assignments were made but George was unable
to resume full activities.
George was
discharged from the Navy on February 24, 1975
Later in
life, his short lived Naval career did not stop him from
claiming battle experience in the Vietnam Conflict nor
did it stop him from verbal and written claims that he
was a Navy Seal.
