@JayMontana36 looks like you were right with the java version. I uninstalled 11 and installed 1.8 with the commands below and set the server to use the downloaded forge 1.12.2 universal jar file and it started right up! Looks like we need to edit the Wiki for the CentOS install to check the java version. I am a little concerned over the 666 memory foot print though. 
yum erase java-11-openjdk
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
[root@mineos forge]# java -version
openjdk version “1.8.0_201”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)
