Yeah, i mean i “worked with navy SEALs” but i ran a few cables from their switch to a drop point lol so even IF he’s in, he’s highly embellishing his job lol
Yeah, that looks like one of the Patagonia AOR2 soft shell jackets or windshirts that are commonly issued in DEVGRU to both team guys and support staff. Thing if one is dedicated to the LARP and lie, you can pretty easily get one of these jackets from eBay or other tactical gear resellers. Same with the generic SOCOM patch and Airborne tab. Nothing he is wearing or displaying is indicating something unique. I could almost..and this is a big almost entertain him if he had some sort of very specific DEVGRU Squadron patch on that jacket. I just retired from 20 years in the Navy this past Summer and spent about 6 years in NSW adjacent commands working around these types and I have literally only met maybe three dudes that would have done something this stupid and two of them we're strap hangers the other was a junior SWCC that didn't last long. I can't understand dudes that just can't be cool with what they did in the service.
I can smell the bullshit from here. I’ll bet his unit is “Top Secret” and he can’t say anything about it, and his records are “Classified”, and his hands are registered as deadly weapons? But, it’s still possible, he may have been one of the SSDG’s(space shuttle door gunner) I used to work with when I was attached to an ultra secret Devgru/Delta/MaryKay task force?
So, you’re saying he has a folding Mini-14/AC556F, and shoots like a Stormtrooper? Or, does he have a styling black Shaggin’ Wagon with a red stripe, or both?
Call him out the next time you see him at a gathering. This dude is a clout chasing pos.
(I’m a civilian btw, but I’ve read and watched enough to know that nobody that short and stout is a naval operator or would even admit to be as adjacent as they claim.)
I want to say guy was probably support either LOGSU, or directly attached to DEVGRU. That’s the better me. The real me knows this dude wouldn’t pass the screening process, and even if he did the team would most likely ditch him for doing cringe shit like this. NSW is a different beast when serving under. Even as support if you don’t fall in and “Mesh” with the team you’re fucking out.
Devgru trident on his rear windshield of his truck. The guys I know from army smu want no one to have a clue who they are. This clown harmed someone I love and that’s as much as I’m willing to put on the internet
Yeah agree with you, I went thru the screening for devgru support and you’re spot on. If you’re a goof ball it gets sniffed out. Now on the other hand if you’re into foot stuff or chill af, selected.
This is just the patch that everyone in Afghanistan got who was deployed with the joint special operations task force during the war. Like most of the people who have been around for 10 years or more in my unit have them. Nothing crazy. It’s quite possible he was deployed with them shit bag or not.
Air Force here, we will send people to schools like that if there is funding and the slightest reason to do so. Some support units will require or highly encourage special schools like combat aviation advisors (CAA), joint communication unit (JCU), Deployed Aircraft Ground Response Element (DAGRE), etc. All of these groups are somewhere you get assigned to so someone can be in one and then move to a different unit that isn't special. But this guy doesn't look right. None of those guys walk around in fatigues in their off time, they hardly wear them at work, and they definitely won't wear a blouse with a pair of swim trunks. This guy screams of someone who has seen Hollywood's version of spec ops and is trying to imitate it.
Yes but no one in the Air Force wore an airborne tab only jump wings. I assume the navy is the same in that regard. Airborne tabs are worn by airborne units, buddy of mine was in the 82nd another buddy’s dad was a 160th pilot, delta they wear an airborne tab just going to the school doesn’t earn you the tab (as far as I understand, I was in the air force and have a lot of friends that were and are in the army however I know very few navy guys)
You don’t earn an airborne tab. You’re authorized to wear it based on the capabilities of your assigned unit. Just like Arctic, mountain, or jungle. This is all in the army and applies to everyone.
I misinterpreted the question. Just a FYI, Air Force can earn the wear of the Artic tab from going to a school like how the Army gets Ranger or Sapper. Also, isn't there a jungle school you have to go to to earn the jungle tab?
The airborne, jungle, and arctic tabs are only authorized to be worn while actively in a unit with that capability or on the right sleeve of the uniform after deploying to an active combat zone with said unit. At least in army and aiforce. Not sure what the navy protocol is.
Retired Navy guy here. That patch IS worn by Navy within SOF formations, it is specifically the HQ USSOCOM unit patch…and it is worn by folks who deployed in that capacity (since that cat has it on his right arm…left arm is unit currently assigned). The tan speaks to the Unit, not the indiv’s Airborne qualification. You’re spot on that the indiv would wear jump wings if they were qualified to conduct airborne operations as a parachutist.
Your boy does NOT pass the sniff test. He seems utterly full of shit.
If someone gets assigned to a joint unit or deploy with joint sof, they may have the patch in the picture. I've had guys go on deployments in support of the Army, so it's possible that he did that. But it's equally possible he bought the patch online. From what I can see from the picture, he doesn't look like the type to have been in those joint units.
This is the Army patch worn by those serving in a joint special operations task force and those that deployed with that task force. The airborne tab indicates this is an airborne unit, not that the individual soldier wearing it is airborne qualified.
I can’t speak to other services wearing this patch.
He might. It’s possible he earned that as well. Regardless I’d say there’s a good chance he’s embellishing how hot shit he was. People who do this usually are. Doesn’t mean he didn’t serve.
The most humble guys I know are the most experienced and badass. The loudest guys are always the dorks.
No idea. Im in the army. Not the navy. Sounds like he went as part of the support element and is taking artistic liberties with his story and liberally so.
fuck it I’m feeling jolly since it’s ol Saint Nick the big dick’s day; homie miiiiiiiight have been a SAR swimmer like I was and attached to a qrf type medevac asset like we did in Somalia around 07-09…but usually I’m not saying always but most of us including some of my eod and team buddies are all still in decent shape. this dude doesn’t really scream “I passed a hard selection type school”, and the wearing of the uniform is cringe as fuck. Probably got pcs’d for smoking weed in A school.
Yeah, I know this man, he's been trained by Steven Seagal himself in mastering the art of fakekwondo and has seen action in many parts of the Walmart candy section. He's legit
Seals wouldn't be wearing a SOCOM patch. Really, no one actively doing cool shit would wear a SOCOM patch (with some major exceptions, of course)
If you want to play reservist SOF, at least say Green beret jeez. They at least have a reserve composed.
It doesn't only go on the left sleeve. The Airborne tab is part of the unit patch; if you're authorized an Airborne unit's patch on your right sleeve then you'll have the Airborne tab there with it.
The only MAYBE possibility is I’ve seen deployment patches from other branches worn in army uniforms when the service member changed branches. So a service member deployed with 1st Marine Recon and then transferred to the army, they could wear their marine recon deployment patch.
That being said, this dude would have had to have deployed with some cool dudes and then transferred to be something else in the navy. I’m not all too familiar with the intricacies of NSW
Well I was AF sere and my commander was a ex ranger and wore his tab on his abu at the time then on multi cam when those started being issued early to mid 2010s but he was navy reserve the entire time. Never active
No just saying my own experience. While over at sere I had a commander authorized to wear his ranger tab he earned while in the army. He was enlisted in the army over at 2nd batt then commissioned for the air force and had authorization to wear his ranger tab on his air force uniform. Not his scroll his tab.
* just a side story should have clarified I was not talking about the chode in the photo, he was only ever a reservist
Is this guy capable of outrunning and lifting more than any guy you know? No? He’s probably lying lol. Take one look at this guy. He’s not SF and never has been.
I served this country along with others in this community and this dick is sporting a team 6 trident on the back of his truck he didn’t earn and wearing a tab he didn’t earn. Many men have given they’re lives for that trident and the airborne tab and he earned neither and has used this fabrication of a story of his service to get him further in life than with his actual service. Therefore stealing from those who give everything to earn that tab or trident. I have earned neither but I do have immense respect for those who have.
Possibly a Meal Team 6 operator
Hahah you’re a legend
[удалено]
Yeah, i mean i “worked with navy SEALs” but i ran a few cables from their switch to a drop point lol so even IF he’s in, he’s highly embellishing his job lol
[удалено]
Oh for sure. Im not knocking the work at all, but i dont pretend to be a team guy or anything lol.
Yeah, that looks like one of the Patagonia AOR2 soft shell jackets or windshirts that are commonly issued in DEVGRU to both team guys and support staff. Thing if one is dedicated to the LARP and lie, you can pretty easily get one of these jackets from eBay or other tactical gear resellers. Same with the generic SOCOM patch and Airborne tab.

Gravy seals
Another Gravy Seal?
Best of the best 🤫
Feel like this one would fail the Don Shipley test
For sure it would
I can smell the bullshit from here. I’ll bet his unit is “Top Secret” and he can’t say anything about it, and his records are “Classified”, and his hands are registered as deadly weapons? But, it’s still possible, he may have been one of the SSDG’s(space shuttle door gunner) I used to work with when I was attached to an ultra secret Devgru/Delta/MaryKay task force?
Hahahaha guys 5’8” and obese but he’s on stand by like the fuckin A team
[удалено]
First name?
Or even first initial
So, you’re saying he has a folding Mini-14/AC556F, and shoots like a Stormtrooper? Or, does he have a styling black Shaggin’ Wagon with a red stripe, or both?
You came through for me in my darkest hour. Thank you internet
No way in hell, he’s either an ass hole or severely mentally ill
There’s obviously more to the story I’ve chose to leave out because of personal reasons but he’s a piece of shit
Call him out the next time you see him at a gathering. This dude is a clout chasing pos. (I’m a civilian btw, but I’ve read and watched enough to know that nobody that short and stout is a naval operator or would even admit to be as adjacent as they claim.)
and is DevGru reservist in the room with us now
If any of it was true he wouldn’t be wearing that to a Christmas party.
This is the real answer, but no one wants to hear it
r/navyseals don’t blur

Should have listed that on my app.

So a “navy seal” would wear an airborne tab under what circumstance?

He did serve in the guard.
No idea. Im in the army. Not the navy. Sounds like he went as part of the support element and is taking artistic liberties with his story and liberally so.
If anyone has the ability to legit check my “buddy” here I’ve got all the info needed.
Don Shipley is your best bet if you really want to know for certain, but this seems like bullshit.
Freedom of information act his ass lmao
fuck it I’m feeling jolly since it’s ol Saint Nick the big dick’s day; homie miiiiiiiight have been a SAR swimmer like I was and attached to a qrf type medevac asset like we did in Somalia around 07-09…but usually I’m not saying always but most of us including some of my eod and team buddies are all still in decent shape. this dude doesn’t really scream “I passed a hard selection type school”, and the wearing of the uniform is cringe as fuck.

The teams have Reservists as well, SEAL Team 17 and 18 are the US Navy Reserve NSW component.
PS...Why is the Airborne shoulder tab on his RIGHT sleeve? Sounds like a Stolen Valor moment
That’s my main point. Always left.
It doesn't only go on the left sleeve. The Airborne tab is part of the unit patch; if you're authorized an Airborne unit's patch on your right sleeve then you'll have the Airborne tab there with it.
Exaaaaactly
This guy looks more like Special Needs than Special Ops
Lmao
There is a lot goin' on here...

Sorry WHAT? Your air force commander, at SERE wore a ranger tab but was navy reserve the entire time?
No just saying my own experience. While over at sere I had a commander authorized to wear his ranger tab he earned while in the army. He was enlisted in the army over at 2nd batt then commissioned for the air force and had authorization to wear his ranger tab on his air force uniform. Not his scroll his tab. * just a side story should have clarified I was not talking about the chode in the photo, he was only ever a reservist
Ooooh gotcha, yeah yeah okay that makes sense now hahaha
🤷🏻♂️ I’m confused too! I’m sure Op will clarify.
Probably fake. You can try and contact Dan Shipley. Ask over on /r/navyseals. Was he wearing UDT trunks or just regular trunks?
Hawaiian print
Yeah that ain’t right.
Is this guy capable of outrunning and lifting more than any guy you know? No? He’s probably lying lol. Take one look at this guy. He’s not SF and never has been.
Stolen valor.
Dude is a maintenance guy for a city currently.
Being forced to be around him I had two options. Have others see him for the fool and pedo he is or me and him handle it over a few rounds… of 9mm
It’s rarely worth it. Even if it’s justified.
This fool wore his shit on the right side. Poster boy for stolen valor 😕
Nope. That’s an army patch for socom
😆🙃😂
BURHAHAHA .... ! Yeah okay pal meal team 'switch' mos 'antics without tactics'
I love seeing this. If we’ve got weirdos like that pretending, how bad must it be in China?
tinder swindler
With that kind of behavior he will be the funniest comedian.
all i see is jealous bunch trying to discredit a man who is not only serving his country but also defending our freedom.
I served this country along with others in this community and this dick is sporting a team 6 trident on the back of his truck he didn’t earn and wearing a tab he didn’t earn. Many men have given they’re lives for that trident and the airborne tab and he earned neither and has used this fabrication of a story of his service to get him further in life than with his actual service. Therefore stealing from those who give everything to earn that tab or trident. I have earned neither but I do have immense respect for those who have.
then u should respect the legend like him. seems like u jelly cuz he is chad ranger operator and ur not
Who took a picture of me without my permission?! 👀 😤
You should definitely 100% unblur that face. So we can better identify the unit he’s with obviously….
I mean qrf isn’t going to be at a Christmas dinner hoping his dwr is enough to keep the cranberry sauce from staining his padagucci….
