he graduated at age 17 and had to get his parents permission to enlist
in the Navy. Originally wanted to be a helicopter mechanic - was a
door gunner on a helicopter and served one tour. He did not say he
was a SEAL but that he was somehow recruited while in country to join
them on one or more missions. He said they had sought one or more
volunteers to go with them into Laos. His activities there were
classified.
He said his first wife divorced him after he was shot down in Cambodia and listed as missing. He claimed to have been held underground in a 4x4x4' box until some of his comrades went against orders and returned to rescue him.

Charles Camp is not now and never was a US Navy SEAL, and was NEVER
solicited by a SEAL unit to accompany them on combat operations. The
SEAL Teams never (NEVER) call for volunteers to accompany them on combat
operations! The members of a SEAL platoon train intensely together as a
small unit for many months (sometimes close to one full year) before
deploying anywhere in order that they might effectively work together as
a cohesive unit. Their reactions to situations and circumstances become
so integrated that their interactions and coordinated movements in
combat seem to take on the aspect of telepathy. No words are necessary
between the SEALs because they all know their jobs, their
responsibilities, and what other platoon members expect of them. To
introduce an untrained outsiderinto that closely knit and tightly
coordinated unit is a truly insane concept.
Born in 1947. Served from Jul 1 66 to June 21 1972. Navy AMS3. ONLY medal, National Defense. Court Martial transcript "not in file." Attened "P", "A" school and corrosion control training. NO RECORD OR ANY COMBAT OR OVERSEAS DUTY. Works for Police Dept. |

He told me he was staff sergeant and was awarded a Purple Heart and a cross and was taken prisoner for 3 days by the viet cong. ... was forced to watch 2 of his "boys" be slowly tortured to death by the viet cong. He told me that after about 3 days he was rescued by the Americans. He said that he has no veteran benefits because he was arrested for murder after Vietnam and the government stripped him of all his benefits and medals. .... | . |
| CANYON, BRICE | Lake Texoma Texas | 12/2008 | Claims
he was in the US Air Force.
That he was a pilot during the Vietnam war and was shot down. Upon crash
landing his aircraft, he injured his eye and his face was covered with
blood so he gave his weapon to his co-pilot. He claimed that his
co-pilot was killed and he was captured and held as a POW.
He stated that he was a POW for 9 months until his POW camp was bombed by US Forces and he was able to escape. Claims he is 59 years old, but on a dating site called, "Plenty of Fish," his name, Brice Canyon, is his user name and he is listed as being 53 years old. He has pictures of himself posted on that site.
THE NAME MAY BE FALSE - NO TRACE IN THE COUNTRY FOR ANYONE NAMED BRICE CANYON.

| CASTEEL, BOYD | TN | 04/2008 | Well
first thing, I guess is my name. My name is Boyd Casteel. I am 54
years old and I am married to a wonderful wife, Lisa. We are big
animal lovers so we have quite a few pets. We live
in Northeast Tennessee, in I am a retired police officer. Law Enforcement has been a part of my life since I was 18 years old. I am an Air Force veteren, learning my police duties there and then going in to civilian law enforcement, once I left the Air Force. I am a former POW. My unit was ambushed in I was kept confined for 9 months, when the camp was taken by several Marine outfits. The Red Cross came in and tended to all of the wounded and all the GI's that were considered critical care. I was transported to a hospital ship to start my rehabilitation to where I could stand and walk again, then after a few months I was sent back to the States ( As horrible as that all sounds, it is just now, that I am able to really start talking about. It has stayed with me most all of my adult life. Some of it never goes away. ================================== Thank
you for the link to the POW/MIA website. Over the years, I have
researched through many archives, wrote tons of letters, even made phone
calls only to find out that there are many vets who have wrong info or
info that was never updated in their military files. Some have spent a
lot of their civilian career and most of their savings trying to correct
their files and write history the way it was meant to be written,
especially for their families. Boyd

This
case is still under investigation. There is a possibility even the
"biographical data" other than the names are bogus in this
fairy tale.
There is no historical evidence to back up the claims.

Steve. There's more to the story....
Today there were a whole bunch of replies to my quarry. It seems that this guy was held in serious contempt by junior members of the battalion, several of whom went on to get commissioned and at least one of whom is still on active duty. According to these guys, he was the consummate self promoter, egomaniac and all around asshole. This is not just from some private who thought the guy was a hardass - quite the contrary. All the guys that replied either retired from active duty or at least reached NCO rank before ETS'ing. It says something when not a single guy had anything positive to say. Clayton evidently told the POW story complete with torture, etc. to each RIP class he taught. For a time he was assigned to the 1/75 Ranger Indoc Program at Hunter before the Regt was activated and that function consolidated at Ft. Benning. There's a good chance this POW stuff is all hot air on his part - simply based on the rabid responses I got. Hope this helps. It's simply more of the total picture of this guy.

Hurricane Hero
Dexter Christenberry isn't giving money, clothes or water to Hurricane Katrina victims. He's driving entire homes to them: 200 campers with air conditioning, bathrooms and more.
When the Piney Flats businessman saw the devastation caused by the Hurricane on television, he wanted to give victims a place to call home. This past weekend, he drove a camper to complete strangers in Mississippi. Now that he's seen their neighborhood, he says he won't stop driving more down.
"I told the people next door that had children, I'll go back, I'll get you a camper and I'll bring you a camper, Christenberry told News Channel 11 Tuesday.
The former prisoner of war was changed forever by what he saw along the coast this weekend.
"I noticed, as we did air raids in Vietnam and we would get through with those villages, what was left and the people that were left. Those Vietnamese people were sitting around, twisting their hands, trying to figure out how they were going to put their lives back together, " he said. "{Mississippi} gave me a flashback of Vietnam. These people don't have anywhere to go, a lot of them don't have any family to go to."...
ACTUAL
Number 6 wife is divorcing him as of 01/2007.
Has alot of flash backs and can't sleep etc. He claims the Viet Nam guards hurt him really bad and that is why he cannot work.
Lots of his stories - and they are not the same on different days
