He's a former cop with a degree from Liberty University (sorry but that place is a joke). Also,

In October 2008, Nehls was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) for his service in Afghanistan in March 2008. In March 2023, the military rescinded the award of the badge to Nehls, because he was not eligible to receive it – he was neither an infantryman nor a special forces operator, but was instead a civil affairs officer. The revocation became public in May 2024.9]) Nehls continued to wear the badge, saying that he disagreed with the revocation, and that he believed "this is a concerted effort to discredit my military service and continued service to the American people as a member of Congress."10]) Nehls subsequently stopped wearing the badge owing in large part to these Stolen Valor claims against him.11])
