  • Arthur James Dicken – Dead Phony SEAL

    Arthur James Dicken – Dead Phony SEAL

    Most of you are familiar with AJ Dicken.  He has been posted here at TAH many times.  He assumed room temperature on  December 31.   I guess living with a festering puss filled ego finally rotted him from the inside out.   I get criticism sometimes for speaking ill of the dead … Arthur James Dicken cannot be spoken of in an ill enough manner for my liking.  Dicken did manage to get some classic Shipley attention.

    If anyone wants to write about my life, I will have to be paid more than Dicken was offered for his bullshit story.  Some of my bullshit might actually be true.   At least AJ Dicken had the grace to die before the new year started.   2019 is looking better all the time.

    I visited a lot of gravesites in 2018.  Some I honored … some I pissed on.

    The video below has most of the story.  Don is always at his best when these clowns are at their worst.

    If you are unfamiliar with Don Shipley please take the time to check him out at the link below.  He also has a YouTube channel.

  • Michael Salgado – Phony Senior Chief SEAL

    Michael Salgado – Phony Senior Chief SEAL

    The folks at Military Phony sent us their work on Michael Ray Salgado .

    He claims he was a Senior Chief and retired from the Navy.

    He even sports a SEAL tattoo…

     

    When asked about some of his claims, he became quite defiant toward “all the cock suckers,” “mofos” and “fags” that dared to question the accounts of his military service…

    Yesterday was quite a buzz with Team Guys in regard to Mike.  In fact, one might call it “The Day of the Salgado.”

    Reality always wants to be paid back, so Mike Salgado’s military records were ordered and they tended to be his harshest critic…

    Salgado should have been proud enough of what he actually did do.  Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Com with Valor Device and part of a Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewmember.

    What he did not do was go to BUD/S-SEAL training and he was never a Chief Petty Officer.

    He got out on a prior enlistment in 1993 as an E-5, then got out later in 1996 as an E-3, being discharged on the same day that he made the rank of E-3.  At that pace, he could have stayed for 20 years and may have made it all the way back to the rank of E-1.

    It seems that the Navy encouraged Mikey to find some other line of work.

  • John Casselman – Phony SEAL Team Six OBL Raid Commando

    John Casselman – Phony SEAL Team Six OBL Raid Commando


    The folks at Military Phony send us their work on John Brandon Casselman, who claims he was a Master Chief (E-9) U.S. Navy SEAL that participated in the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.

    Since Casselman promotes these SEAL stories on dating sites and Facebook, readers may not only get an insight into how the U.S. Navy SEALs work but also get to see a couple of pages out of Casselman’s dating playbook.  We don’t want to overhype it, but we assure you he brings his “A” game… you be the judge.

    If we can just keep the ladies on the sidelines and ask that you not run out on the playing field until the game is over and we finish presenting this case.

    On his Zoosk dating profile, he says he was a SEAL and in the Navy for 11 years…

    Casselman was not intimidated when Don Shipley’s name was thrown out.  No, he was more concerned about the lack of trust in a newly developing relationship – that was the issue.  Not his Navy SEAL-ness.

    Read about it below if you would like…

    I wonder if Don Shipley knows he is a living legend or if he likes running a dating concierge service with screening SEAL claims?   Long live The HAIR!  Don did take a timeout from tending his gaggle of geese long enough to confirm little Johnny  Casselman was never a Navy SEAL.

    So, we consulted with all of the logical resources.

    We could find no record of military service with DoD Manpower/SCRA or with the Department of the Navy.  Having no military records puts any claim of him being a Master Chief, a SEAL or on the Osama Bin Laden raid in a state of doubt.

    However, we did find that some other records do exist for John Casselman.

    And here: https://indiana.arrests.org/Arrests/John_Casselman_34497680/

    Now, we all would like to put our best foot forward, but honestly – which do you think is the more recent photo?   Or stated another way, the before and after?

    OK ladies and or fellas, here is your chance to date that Fake military hero with fantasy bullshit stories about his accomplishments and he comes complete with an arrest record.  Don’t miss your chance to be his next EX.

  • Michael E. Stone – Phony SEAL

    Michael E. Stone – Phony SEAL

    Military Phony sent us their work on this Michael Edward Stone fella, who claims that he was a Navy SEAL with SEAL Team 3 in Vietnam.

    He seems to love to wear the SEAL Trident on his ball caps.

    His official military records tell a different story, however…

    Michael Stone retired from the US Navy as a Chief (E-7) vs. a Senior Chief (E-8).

    He was a second class diver but there is nothing in his records to support his claim of being a Navy SEAL.  There is no BUD/S or SEAL training listed.

    There are no medals or assignments that would support his claim of being in Vietnam, let alone his claim of being with SEAL Team 3.

    As a sidenote – Stone is qualified as a divemaster.

    I wonder how many people go on dives with him and listen to him speak of Vietnam and SEAL Team 3?

    Chief E-7 Stone had an honorable career that spanned several decades.  Anyone that has a record as he does should not feel the need to embellish.  Depth does not make the diver and embellishing does not make you a Navy SEAL.

  • Jose Cotto – Fake Navy SEAL

    Jose Cotto – Fake Navy SEAL

    The folks at Military Phony sent us their work on this fellow – Jose Francisco Cotto – who claims he was a Navy SEAL.

    Jose’s Facebook profile oozes with the claims of Navy SEAL.

    So does his bling…

    Jose claims he was in the Navy from 1983 – 1998.

    Oddly, he claims he was in BUD/S class 173 in 1982 on the UDT SEAL Museum page.

    Unless ‘1982’ was a typo, this would have him being in BUD/S while he was still on Delayed Entry in 1982.

    The National Personnel Records Center shows an alternative version of Jose’s career.

    Cotto’s official military records show 1982 – 1985, slightly less than 3 years, vs. the 1983 – 1998 that he claimed.  He had a hospital stay and was discharged soon after.  Difficult to believe he was on TDRL for fourteen years – the limit is five years.

    In any case, Jose’s records DO NOT list any SEAL training (BUD/S) or show him as being attached to any SEAL Teams.  Jose served during a time when others wouldn’t.  As is all too often the case with people who embellish their service record it appears that his time in the military ended prematurely.

  • Jack Henry Duncan – Fake SEAL

    Jack Henry Duncan – Fake SEAL


    The folks at Military Phony send us their work on Jack Henry Duncan, a retired Master Chief (E-9). This is a bit of an odd case.  Jack had an amazing Naval career and he received various decorations and awards.

    This article highlighted Jack’s accomplishments on Veteran’s Day.

    Jack Duncan enlisted in the Navy at age 18 out of Bakersfield, California.  he became an under water explosives technician, similar to what we would call a Navy Seal Today.  He also served in the Korean War and in the Vietnam War, a total of 43 years.

    Jack will be 89 on June 26, 2014.   He says before he knew it he was on a PT boat and told to go “Kill Guys”.   He says he’s kind of a kill them all and let God sort ’em out kind of guy.

    Jack wrote an article for the PT103 website about his exploits – a claim of attending UDT Training and a claim of being a Combat Demolition Swimmer.

    http://www.pt103.com/PT_Boat_Veteran_Stories.html

    So, off to Fort Pierce and the Amphibious Base I went for a brief school before returning post haste to the Western Pacific (WestPac) as an Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) Swimmer – a Navy frogman. There are no torpedoes in UDT, subsequently named SEALs, so I changed my rating to Gunner’s Mate. The end of the conflict found me assigned to the Philippine Sea Frontier as a Navy policeman in war-ravaged Manila until 1946.

    [LINES DELETED]

    Remember the term “fruit salad?” They also hung on my chest the Trident or Budweiser or Flying Pickle Fork gold pin of a Navy SEAL in addition to the Combat Craft device and the large badge of a Command Master Chief. Cripes, I looked like a Russian General with a port list!

    As we previously stated Jack was a Master Chief, earned numerous awards, served in numerous commands and served for over 4 decades in the Naval Reserves.  Jack was in USNATB Fort Pierce, FL but did NOT complete UDT Training.  We checked all sources within the UDT/SEAL database/archives.  Fort Pierce at the time had numerous Naval schools.  The odd part is that on Jack’s Summary Sheet it shows UDT Device which in the 70’s they were shoulder tabs.  There is NO listing of UDT Training or any UDT/SEAL Commands.  In 1983 all UDT Teams converted to SEAL Teams so if he was UDT it would show in his record that he earned the SEAL Insignia (Trident).  Jack was part of the PT community and most likely attended Anti-Aircraft Training in Fort Pierce.  In conclusion, Jack was NOT UDT or a SEAL.

    The distinction may be a challenge for people outside the UDT/SEAL community to follow but it is important nonetheless.  There is more supportive evidence over at Military Phony.
