Senior Enlisted man, there did not seem any need to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\"><strong>. . . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>DISCUSSION and SUMMARY<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Michael Joseph Reagan has no record of formal military training in explosive ordnance disposal\u00a0(EOD) and would not have been used to defuse\u00a0improvised explosive devices\u00a0(IEDs). Reagan had no assignments with a Marine Unit over his career as he had claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, there is no such unit as 5-1 \u2013 which would imply 5th Battalion \/ 1st Marines. First Marines are based out of Camp Pendleton, CA. Marine units only go to three (3) Battalions, except for Parris Island which has a 4th Battalion \u2013 for all females.<\/p>\n<p>The Navy views their training as an expensive investment, so they don\u2019t have a tendency to change people\u2019s ratings without a commitment from the individual to sign up for more service time as a condition of the training.<\/p>\n<p>According to his DD-214, Michael was an Aviation Structural Mechanic and at one time held the rank of AM3 (Third Class Petty Officer \u2013 E-4), but was discharged as an AMAN (Airman \u2013 E-3). This means he was reduced in rank, which most all the time happens for disciplinary reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier Navy cruise book lists him as an AMSAN \u2013 AVIATION STRUCTURAL MECHANIC (STRUCTURAL) AIRMAN (E-3).<\/p>\n<p>The later cruise book lists him as a AM3 \u2013 AVIATION METALSMITH PETTY OFFICER 3RD CLASS (E-4).<\/p>\n<p>His final discharge DD-214 lists him as a AMAN \u2013 AVIATION STRUCTURAL MECHANIC AIRMAN (E-3).<\/p>\n<p>Not sure if there was a typo in the cruise books or the ratings were so close that Reagan crossed over to strike for an rate opening.<\/p>\n<p>There is no listing of a Purple Heart in his records, let alone two. Had he been shot as a result of enemy fire as was claimed, he would have been awarded a Purple Heart for each separate incident.<\/p>\n<p>There were no incidents aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during the time that Michael Reagan was aboard in which all members of his unit were killed except for him.<\/p>\n<p>Although Reagan may have been diagnosed with PTSD, it is difficult to believe it would be related to getting shot twice or being the last surviving member of his unit since there is a claim that his entire unit was killed over time.<\/p>\n<p>The claims that Michael Reagan is making are not supported by his official military records.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/militaryphony.com\/2019\/08\/18\/michael-reagan-us-navy-eod-shot-twice-lone-survivor-blog-of-shame\/\">Michael Reagan \u2013 US Navy EOD, Shot Twice, Lone Survivor, Blog of Shame |<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good folks over at militaryphony.com published a case about this Michael Reagan character.\u00a0 It&#8217;s always &hellip; <a title=\"Michael Reagan has seen things, US Navy EOD, Shot Twice, Lone Survivor&#8230; just not any of those things.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=89996\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Michael Reagan has seen things, US Navy EOD, Shot Twice, Lone Survivor&#8230; just not any of those things.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":667,"featured_media":89999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[393,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-navyposer","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89996"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89996\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90017,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89996\/revisions\/90017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/89999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
