I got invited to go to after work to a hole in the wall shithole by some of the blue collar production guys that I work with.
And I got to meet a REAL NAVY SEAL! His name was Frank and He was a LEGEND in that bar! I was told right away what a privledge it a was to actually have Frank sit at my table. The conversation went something like this. ME Navy Seal Huh? Frank Yeah! 5 Years! ME What was your class number? Class number? I'm not sure what you're talking about! You dont have a class number? No! My work was classified Blah Blah................ Who was your swim buddy? Swim Buddy? Yeah in BUDS! BUDS? You DO know what BUDS is right! NO! My mission was ...................... blah Blah! Frank? What does SEAL stand for? Buh Dea Buh Dea Bua Dea Buh Buh Buh........................ Frank Heres the deal! #1 get up and walk out! #2 Take that do rag off your head and cram the entire thing in your mouth claiming its a SEAL joke! #3 I'm gonna slap you off that stool and kick the living dog shit out of you! RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! He went for option 1

I predict that you will die in your sleep tonight. You shouldn't have embarrassed a SEAL like that!

Ask him what color the boat house was. I have no idea what the answer is, but apparently neither do the posers.

Why didn't you just get him banned. It would have been a lot less dramatic, yet more effective.

My father was a NAVY SEAL...actually UDT/CBI.. the precursers to the seals teams in the 40's. He never speaks of it unless prodded my myself. Hes 81. Wanted me to "see the world" as a seal.........Fuck that! I considered the pay grade for the experiance. Fuck that again 25yrs later! I see them pushing it on TV. By them you'all know whom I mean.

Ahem. I used to know a "Frank" who was indeed a SEAL & he moved from TN to FL. What did this one do for a living, if I may ask? Or, what did he look like? FWIW, my "Frank" never bragged or mentioned being a SEAL until you really pulled it out of him. Low key guy, nice as all get out, as well. |

It is easier to just ask what he will pretend to know.
" What SOG group were you with? What year?" Then when they tell you 34, and 1989 you know you can call bullshit. My favorite is the 300lb Recon Marine at the gunshows...... Ummm OK |

This boy had the tan and build of a roofer. Tank top with all the proper tatoos and a blue bandanna tied up on his head! Brought up the SEAL thing without any encouragement from anyone. There was no pulling it out of him! |

My Dad joined up after high-school for WWII... Served in the 409th Infantry... Never mentions it unless I ask, only recently learned he was injured pretty bad by a tree burst at the Battle of the Bulge... He will be 83 this year... Also never knew he had a Bronze Star, until I found it while looking for something at their house I had as a kid (They never throw anything away). That was the 'Greatest Generation' IMHO... No bragging, no spinning hubcaps on their cars, no ear-rings, no 'look-at-me', just did the job that had to be done and did it very well and moved on with their lives.. |

I used to be a Navy Seal. You can tell because I have a pot belly, and I always brag about it. All details are classified, I am not permitted to discuss anything related to anything. If you try to drag it out of me, I will make up a bunch of lies so you will think I am lying. That way, I get to keep my cover intact.

If he guesses the correct color of the one at Hereford, he's STILL wrong, because it isn't at Hereford any more.

It is sad when they have to do this to make themselves look like they have a penis. I know too many ass-clowns who wish they had served and make up for it with BS stories and all. A 71L who serves honorably has higher regard in my book any day! At least they served!

In my town we have a short, fat guy bragging he was SEAL (or Spec ops, depends what day it is.) and captured by the Iraqs and tortured. He's a laugh riot. He may have been in the service, the only torture he endured was being late to the chow line.
Yea, he was a SEAL, stationed at Seaworld................. |

There is a guy like this where I work...
He was a Marine. They liked him so much that right out of Marine Boot, they sent him to train with the Navy SEAL COBRA team... as a Sniper, no less. He fondly remembers his "reptile suit" which heated up in cold weather and cooled down in hot weather. He took it home with him, but tragically it burned up in a fire. I think there may also have been a boat accident involved... He also swears that the military issue SEAL boots were made by Doc Martin. Did I mention that he still has his Generation 8 NVGs? |

who? me? ya, i got married. doesnt mean i dont post anymore. and the only REAL SEAL that i have ever met was an INSTRUCTOR at BUD/S. He has the pictures (and scars) to back it up too. Most soft spoken unassuming guy I have ever met. If they have bullshit comming out of their ears they were NOT SEALS, end of discusson. |

Get them with their "team number" too...most people don't know that even numbered Teams 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, are stationed on the east coast (Little Creek) and odd numbered Teams 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, are stationed on the west coast (Coronado).

You should try to post his name on the seal Wall of Shame. When I was going through training at BUD/s the worst thing that could ever happen is for some ass wade try to pass themselves off as a froggy. And no I did not make it, Hoo Yah 198!
Impersonating a SEAL is like the ultimate sin!!

You owned him.
I think I met a real SEAL once. He was an out of work truck driver doing temp work for us one summer. My supervisor was always going off on how Everett was a SEAL. Thing is, I'm pretty sure the supe is a poseur. 101st and 82nd ABN from 'Nam to around Grenada. All kinds of stories and purple hearts and such. The usual red flags just about every time he opens his mouth. But that's a different story.Anyways, Ev was very physically fit, was in the Navy and proud of it. But he never onced mentioned wether or not he was a SEAL or not. But there were no "red flags" surrounding him. So maybe, just maybe. <shrug> |

I had a guy come to work for me when I was roofing in '90. he said he needed a job and was recommended by a church. He said he was a SEAL and had been injured in Granada by a grenade.
I thouht it was funny that the heat was getting to him bad. It was about 90 degrees up there but I was OK. He never came back from lunch on the first day, and I was paying cash daily. I'm a big boy, but he was a tub of guts. I laughed my ass off at the idea of outworking a "SEAL". Dumb bastard! The guy who taught me to SCUBA dive in '68 was an ex-Navy diver. I don't think I could have outworked him on a bet, even when he was about 40 and I was a 17 year old weightlifter. He never talked about his service except to teach us safety he had learned diving and some techniques. He would answer questions but would downplay what he did. I think it comes down to those who did being modest about what they did and braggarts being full of shit. Jim |
