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

The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Bryan Franklin Foraker<\/a> who claims he was a Navy SEAL.\u00a0 Bryan is 52 years old and lives in Jacksonville, Florida but is originally from New Castle, Delaware.<\/p>\n

Bryan likes to wear SEAL bling…<\/p>\n

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

Beyond that, he reinforces his SEAL-ness with a few posts…<\/p>\n

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

When talking about a new tattoo, he mentioned another one specific to his unit…<\/p>\n

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

… and this is the tattoo picture that he posted…<\/p>\n

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

Can’t quite make it out but it appears to be a dog with scuba gear on.\u00a0 That’s usually a Marine Corps thing.<\/p>\n

His family was quite surprised by Foraker’s SEAL claim, but Bryan set them straight…<\/p>\n

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

After a few SEALs checked the SEAL-BUD\/S database and could not find him listed, Bryan Foraker’s records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.<\/p>\n

Service dates were determined through the DoD Manpower Data Center…<\/p>\n

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

And his military records were requested through the Department of the Navy…<\/p>\n

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

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

There were no SEAL assignments and no SEAL training in Foraker’s official military records.<\/p>\n

Here he is from his time on the USS Saratoga (CV 60)…<\/p>\n

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

There is no SEAL Trident insignia in that photo above.<\/p>\n

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

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

Not really sure why Bryan decided to adopt a Navy SEAL persona.<\/p>\n

In case anybody close to him is still confused – Bryan Foraker was NEVER a US Navy SEAL.<\/p>\n
