\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jose’s Facebook profile oozes with the claims of Navy SEAL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So does his bling…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jose claims he was in the Navy from 1983 – 1998.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oddly, he claims he was in BUD\/S class 173 in 1982 on the UDT SEAL Museum page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The National Personnel Records Center shows an alternative version of Jose’s career.<\/p>\n

Cotto’s official military records show 1982 – 1985, slightly less than 3 years, vs. the 1983 – 1998 that he claimed.\u00a0 He had a hospital stay and was discharged soon after.\u00a0 Difficult to believe he was on TDRL for fourteen years – the limit is five years.<\/p>\n

In any case, Jose’s records DO NOT list any SEAL training (BUD\/S) or show him as being attached to any SEAL Teams.\u00a0 Jose served during a time when others wouldn’t.\u00a0 As is all too often the case with people who embellish\u00a0their service record it appears that his time in the military ended prematurely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
