\nThe folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on\u00a0Jack Henry Duncan, a retired Master Chief (E-9).\u00a0This is a bit of an odd case.\u00a0 Jack had an amazing Naval career and he received various decorations and awards.<\/p>\n

This article<\/a> highlighted Jack’s accomplishments on Veteran’s Day.<\/p>\n

Jack Duncan enlisted in the Navy at age 18 out of Bakersfield, California. \u00a0he became an under water explosives technician, similar to what we would call a Navy Seal Today. \u00a0He also served in the Korean War and in the Vietnam War, a total of 43 years.<\/p>\n

Jack will be 89 on June 26, 2014. \u00a0 He says before he knew it he was on a PT boat and told to go \u201cKill Guys\u201d. \u00a0 He says he\u2019s kind of a kill them all and let God sort \u2019em out kind of guy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jack wrote an article for the PT103 website about his exploits \u2013 a claim\u00a0of attending UDT Training and a claim\u00a0of being a Combat Demolition Swimmer.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Mate. The end of the conflict found me assigned to the Philippine Sea Frontier as a Navy policeman in war-ravaged Manila until 1946.<\/p>\n

[LINES DELETED]<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.\u00a0 Jack was in USNATB Fort Pierce, FL but did NOT complete UDT Training.\u00a0 We checked all sources within the UDT\/SEAL database\/archives.\u00a0 Fort Pierce at the time had numerous Naval schools.\u00a0 The odd part is that on Jack\u2019s Summary Sheet it shows UDT Device which in the 70\u2019s they were shoulder tabs.\u00a0 There is NO listing of UDT Training or any UDT\/SEAL Commands.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 Jack was part of the PT community and most likely\u00a0attended Anti-Aircraft Training in Fort Pierce.\u00a0 In conclusion, Jack was NOT UDT or a SEAL.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The distinction may be a challenge for\u00a0people outside the UDT\/SEAL community to follow but it is important nonetheless.\u00a0 There is more supportive evidence over at Military Phony<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
