03/25/2007 ARRESTED

Read about a 4 month long investigation into a man who lied his way into a civilian government contracting job overseas in Iraq. While in Iraq this man then decided to put on and wear routinely the uniform of a United States Air Force Special Operations Brigadier General even though he was'nt one. While posing as this General Officer he set up relations with dignitaries from Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia which he embezzled an untold amount of money from and had deposited in his personal account(s) here in the US. Worse of all he  made his way on to one of our Special Forces bases and befriended many of the unsuspecting warriors until US Army CID arrested him for the embezzlement but not the uniform and fraud violations and sent him back home to the US.  Back in the US he hears one of the Special Forces troopers he knew in Iraq had been killed in action. He then set  up a memorial website to honor a man and unit he lied to and frauded into believing

He uses his "status "as a Vietnam Vet/POW to pick arguments and confrontations with people and threatens people with physical harm if they say or do anything to disgrace POW's/Vets or the great country of USA.

Leonard also Claims to be Cherokee Indian and that he grew up on a Reservation, something no one has been able to confirm, He is very active on the Powwow circuit and seem to have a group of followers that looks up to him because of his alleged history.

Claims to have gotten away with a murder in a barfight because of his status as a war hero. He claims he was acquitted of all charges because he was a warhero, even though nobody seems to have a recollection of a barfight ending up with anybody dead in the time period  Leonard specifies.

Leonard seems to build his entire life around his POW story and talks about it continuously and EVERY chance he gets.

St Louis could locate NO MILITARY RECORD when provided with a full name, "service number" and yr of birth and his claims of being a POW.

Can you guess the "SPECIAL FORCES" FRAUD IN THIS PICTURE?

National Guard SGM John Letuli

North Carolina Army National Guard, 30th HBCT


We've been tracking this dirtbag since last November. He's on the CSM list. He's probably still on the Army National Guard CSM list. This scumbag deployed with the 101st last NOV to Iraq, as a "Special Forces" SGM, but funny thing, Letuli ain't never been in Special Forces, ever.

You see those CSM's on the right, that's CSM Malloy, CSM of the mighty 101st Airborne Division, he's the real deal. The CSM on the far right, that's CSM Grippe, he's also the real deal. The two SGM's on the left, I don't know but I'm sure they are the real deals. That piece of shit in the middle wearing A SPECIAL FORCES COMBAT PATCH is a NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD SGM AND A TOTAL FRAUD.

FOR SIX MONTHS WE'VE BEEN TRACKING THIS BOTTOM FEEDER WAITING FOR ACTION, NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL. NOW HE'S GOING TO BE FAMOUS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY THIS AND SEND IT TO EVERY MILITARY WEBSITE YOU KNOW. THIS SCUMBAG SHOULD BE IN JAIL, BUT HE'S WALKING ABOUT USING MILITARY BENEFITS AND WILL MOST LIKELY BE ALLOWED TO RETIRE AS A SGM. AS FAR AS I KNOW NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HIM, NOTHING.

[Edit to add, we've been tracking this dirtbag since SEPT of last year, not NOV, I just checked my emails.]

Atlantic City Mayor Robert Levy Resigns After Disappearing From Public Eye

Wednesday, October 10, 2007

 

The mayor of Atlantic City has handed in his resignation, after he vanished for two weeks amid allegations that he lied about his military service and illegally collected veterans' benefits, his attorney said Wednesday.

Levy's departure is effective immediately, according to lawyer Edwin Jacobs. The missing mayor resurfaced Tuesday after returning home from a stay at a psychiatric and substance abuse center.

Although he was in the military and trained as an NFO and WSO (non pilot positions) he repeatedly claims "pilot" experience. 

Mr. Levy retired as a Captain in the US Air Force, but while teaching at a University in Maryland he kept a nameplate on his desk that said "Captain Ron Levy" and told students and staff he was retired Navy. (big difference)

LEWIS, CHARLES R

AKA CHUCK LEWIS

SC 05/2010 Member of the American legion post 166 Goose Creek SC. Chuck Lewis is wearing a seal trident and was allowed to join the Legion without producing a DD214.  He turned  a form letter that states that his DD214 IS classified.

NO MILITARY RECORDS COULD BE LOCATED BY THE NAVY

 
Letter from Post 166

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams and predecessor units from1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named CHARLES R LEWIS JR. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that CHARLES R LEWIS JR has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT “Frogman”, a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R).

When members of the Naval Special Warfare community meet others who claim similar service, but whom they do not recognize, there is a conversational exchange of information that establishes the bona fides of each to the other. There is no set formula for this exchange, nor for the information that is exchanged, but it ALWAYS takes place, and the REAL Naval Special Warfare members can ALWAYS spot a phony as a result of this exchange. If Mr. LEWIS persists in insisting that his SEAL claims are legitimate, I might suggest that you ask him these questions:

(1) Since there is no listing in the SEAL Database for the name you are currently using, WHAT NAME DID YOU USE during SEAL training?

(2) What was his BUD/S Class Number? (NB: No SEAL ever forgets the class number he shouted all day long, every day, for 6 months)?

(3) Where did his training take place? (NB: Training has been conducted at several locations over the years; different portions in different places)?

(4) When did he graduate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training? (i.e. a specific graduation DATE)?

(5) When did he enter the US Navy (a specific month and year)?

(6) When did he leave the US Navy (a specific month and year)?

(7) What were his Primary and Secondary Naval Enlisted Classification codes –NEC– or his Naval Officer Billet Code – NOBC?

There are many other questions which could be asked to further establish the level of veracity or untruth regarding his claims, such as asking for the names of other members of his graduating class, but those basic questions are absolutes. The answers to those questions are totally UNCLASSIFIED, and every real SEAL will gladly provide that substantiating information upon request.

I might suggest that you also ask Mr. LEWIS to specifically identify WHICH SEAL Team(s) he served on, and when. I am in direct contact with several hundred of my SEAL Teammates whose collective experience covers virtually all time periods from the Korean War to the present; I can quickly contact those individuals to verify any specific names, events, or other claims offered by Mr. LEWIS. If he feels that his name has somehow been mistakenly omitted from the SEAL records, I’d be pleased to hear details of his service which would serve to validate his claims. The Director of the Naval Special Warfare Archives – a close personal friend and SEAL Teammate – is only a phone call away and standing by to amend the records if this is ever found to be true. However, I estimate that I’ve made the same offer many thousands of SEAL imposters in the past decade, and none of them ever turned out to be a valid SEAL.

Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the totally unclassified BUD/S Training program and the follow-on secondary training program; the names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has no impact on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program. There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs… we know them all.

The statement reportedly made by Mr. LEWIS that DD214s might be classified is patently absurd. The DD214 Report of Separation document is intended to be used by a serviceman in not only documenting his service in the military, but is specifically intended to present information which a former service member will use in gaining subsequent employment in the civilian world. It is meant to be seen by others. Neither does a service member’s personnel record contain classified or restricted information. Those records are purely administrative and no “missions” or “operational tasking” is documented in a man’s records. They list his schooling and skill; this not only determines what jobs he can be assigned, but. how much the Navy has invested in his training, and how much they must pay him. They list his rank/promotions as a way of tracking what level of responsibility and authority a service member might be entrusted to carry. They list not only the man’s current unit (where paychecks are to be sent), but previous units to which a man has been assigned. This information will provide additional measures of his job experience and capability. This information is simple, straightforward, and completely innocuous. They will list his obligated service – i.e. how much longer does the Navy have to continue paying him.

Hollywood movies and TV dramas are filled with instances where mens’ military records are somehow classified or sequestered in the interest of national security, but that isn’t the case in real life. Mr. LEWIS has recited the basic plot element for 2/3 of the Hollywood “action thrillers” which have been made in the last 40 years… but Hollywood isn’t real life.....

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.

DA: Man Posing As Soldier Rips Off Insurance Companies

Authorities Say Man Swindled Companies Out Of Nearly $30,000

POSTED: 1:29 pm EST November 13, 2007
UPDATED: 1:58 pm EST November 13, 2007

.....District Attorney Lynne Abraham and Linda Perkins, chief of the insurance fraud unit, said Keith Lewis, 41, of the 5400 block of Erdrick Street, ripped companies off of nearly $30,000 by purchasing car insurance with insufficient funds, filing a quick claim and collecting before his check bounced.

It is alleged that in an effort to expedite one of his many claims, Lewis posed as a soldier in the armed services facing immediate deployment overseas. Authorities found he is not in the United States military.

Email from Chad Light:

BUD/S hellweek is a qualifier for BUD/S.  Non navel personnel can get slots if they are open.  You even get paid for it.  BUD/S is over six months long, the slots weren't for the full course, and aren't always available.  It's for the experience, but it's no joking matter to be a DO. It was a way to get paid.  Every day on active training counted as active duty, so you got paid for it.  My pay grade was E-5 and it was extra money above what I was getting from the Gov. already.  Master Chief Medley, it was 1988.

SEERs training, Somewhere on Camp MacKall, (The buried locker, strobe lights in the sewer pips etc.)  run by LTC Atkins, who at the time was commandant of SEERS.  As you've probably realized, SEER/S training and SEER/S are not the same thing.  This was the Fall of 87.

Ranger was a pass, fail qualification requirement in lieu of the regular, graded requirements of my military instruction.  One shot, Pre Ranger + 9 weeks.  I recycled two times, on different weeks, but had great peer evaluations and passed the course and graduated.  It was 1987. 

SFQC, I completed all 4 phases, Robin Sage, all of it. Successfully completed the course, period. It was 1989. 

My position was unique to SF and there were just a few of us in the entire Battalion. I'm not trying to say it was some "secret unit" within SF.   But this I can assure you, their was no Infantry unit "assigned" to the SF Unit while I was with it. At Battalion HQ our names filled slots as "excess", and kept track of completed training and schools.   I had to first be Airborne, I wore the SF unit patch, the Beret, and trained with the individual Teams within the Company I was assigned to.     If I can trust you with this, maybe we can talk about some of the rest of it. 
------------------------------------------------------------

Claims:

1.        Attended Marshall University, Huntington, WV  (from about 1984-1989)
2.       Was in ROTC at Marshall and graduated as a 2nd Lieutenant into Special Forces (around 1989)..........

I SERIOUSLY doubt  this claim, dueto the fact that ROTC graduates do not graduate into SF, they have to complete the "Q" Course first, just like the enlisted do.

3.       Graduated w/ degrees in history, political science and psychology........

Again, unlikely.  History and Political Science seem to match, but not Psychology.....  (I called the university and was told that he did indeed attend but did not graduate and was not given any degree. 

4.       Served with B Company 1st Infantry at Ft. Benning, GA.  (I believe this to be true)

5.       53 confirmed kills........

BULLSHIT!!!!!  Carlos Heathcock didn't have that many, did he, and he was a school trained sniper

 6.       Military Schools:

 * Ranger........

.doubtful, time frame too short, IMHO

 * BUDS.........

BULLSHIT, but Steve Robinson can answer that one with more accuracy, then I.

              Mary's note - already KNOW he was not a BUDS grad.

              * SEERS in Alaska........

very doubtful.....if memory serves me correctly, the Air Force ran/runs the SEERS course, and it is adjacent to the USAF Acadamy........I may be wrong

* JFK school of warfare (I once saw his certificate about this, but it looked suspicious to me, like a low-res graphic, so not  sure about this one).........

I agree with you, and.......If it states JFK School of Warfare, he left out which type of Warfare, he is claiming to have attended.........The courses used to be: Unconventional, Psychological, and Counter-Insurgency Warfare.  With "The John F. Kennedy School of Psychological Warfare" (for example) all spelled out. 

Operational Claims:

7.       Trained armed forces in Thailand or Asia involved with the Khmer Rouge conflict..........

                          please, give me a break, he is too young to have been involved with the Khmer Rouge, who BTW were
                         Cambodians.

8.       Panama - with accounts of being in a firefight at the airport during the invasion.............

another DOUBTFUL, Mike was on that operation, in an attempt to "capture" Norieaga, and he told me that the only fire fights that occured at the airport were, in his own words......."The dumb ass 82nd and Rangers shooting at each other."  He and his team scared the crap out of a bunch of 82nd Abn guys when they passed by them smoking/joking, and didn't know SF was in the area, let alone watching them for over an hour.

 9.       Desert Storm ­ sent into the mountains north of Baghdad just before the major conflict started to debrief and guard Iraqi officers that had defe cted........

This was an SF ODA assignment, ask him what team he was assigned to.  In any event, the training was more for the Kurds then any Iraqi deserters. 

10.    Somalia ­ claims to have been one of the SF sent in to rescue the downed helicopters in the infamous helicopter downings.

Bullshit!!! 

Also claims to  have been a consultant to Ridley Scot for the movie Black Hawk Down, as well as dating Mr. Scot’s personal assistant.  Also claims to have broken his jaw on a helicopter skid during filming.....Too bad it wasn't his neck!

 (I personally believe........smart thinking the broken jaw story was to cover the fact that he had estuation tube surgery, or plastic surgery in Jacksonville, Florida )

 When he was called up for Desert Storm the Army was looking for him; that he was late in reporting and would be considered AWOL if he didn’t report right away.  This happened in the weeks leading up to Desert Storm.

2009 - Claims x- SF Captain and Army Ranger with a lot of combat experience.

There is a guy that is on a tv show "Seducing Cindy" on Fox Reality Channel that is claiming that he is a "Purple Heart" and "Silver Star" recipient from Desert Shield/Storm. It was on the "Real Deal" episode. I am a military veteran and was watching the show with my wife. This guy has to be lying. From his mannerism of telling the story to claims that he made, he "has to be lying". Can you please contact whoever could locate this guy on a Purple Heart Registry? His name is Jeffrey James Lippold and he claims to be a former Marine. Can you PLEASE check on this? WR

------------------------

I heard J.J. tonight telling the guys that he was in the Navy Special Forces, and then he said Marine force Recon, when talking to Cindy he added that he was a medic in Marine force Recon. Medics are in the Army Jeff my boy. He also said he dragged another wounded man, himself severely wounded, 300 miles and the guy lived. While telling this fabrication to the guys he must have been practicing because when he told Cindy shortly after that he broke down crying and was unable to finish the story. He told the guys he had a silver star but when asked what it was he gave an answer that proved he did not have one. Us real Marines call people like him wannabes. They are the worst kind of liars because they steal the glory that rightfully belongs to others. I served 3 years in Vietnam with the Marine grunts and I earned a purple heart and Silver Star rescuing some shot up Marines in the middle of the night. BTW, it was only 500 yards away. People like J.J. make me want to puke. Cindy bought into it hook, line and sinker. Someone who has the ability to reach her needs to tell her.    BD

--------------------

At midnight Fox Reality is reairing "Seducing Cindy" Episode 6. One of the competing bachelors, Jeffrey James Lippold claims to have earned a SS and PH in the Gulf War. I couldn't find the citation in the database. If you're still up, check it out. This may be actionable. This is the episode when he makes the claims.   J

-----------------------

FYI ... I also saw an online profile for him under the name "Jeffrey Mark Lippold." There are several sites where he self identifies alternately as a Navy veteran, Marine Force Recon, Navy medic (not corpsman) and JSOC trained or Navy commando (not SEAL). The SS and PH claims were made on the show, Seducing Cindy Episode 6. I haven't seen those specific valor claims elsewhere. I've received two separate tips based on the show content since it first aired Sunday.  J

-----------------

These are to only 2 FACEBOOK pages left up. Most of our contacts have been on his site but it reached the point of way to many people raging on him so he made it private, viewable only to himself. But you have to read the one he posted on my site today. The harder he tries to cover his butt, the deeper he digs. He talks about going through OCS in San Diego, then says years later he tried for the W.O. program because he wanted to be a pilot. Something smell bad about that to you also?
He told me he was retired military. But as you read today's post you may see what I say, that that is not true either. He admitted he had no Silver Star and changed his 300 mile story. BD

----------------------------

I am a former army infantry officer (served 1999-2005). Several weeks a go I watched a show- "Seducing Cindy" - a reality style dating show. During the show one of the contestants named Jeffrey James Lippold declared during a date with the star of the show Cindy Margolis that he had earned the silver star and purple heart during combat operations in Gulf War I/Desert Storm. He did not identify what unit he exactly was a part of but claimed that he earned these decorations for saving a teammate and carrying him 300 miles. The story stunk so I sought him out on facebook and youtube - he is easy to find on both sites. I feel that since he identified himself as a decorated veteran on national tv that he could explain further- he continuously responds with diversions and challenges to meet fce to face- never explaining what unit he served in, pictures, MOS/rate, etc.

Jeffrey James - 41
Bad Ass Romantic

A little bit about me, I was born Jeffrey James Lippold, son to Marine Corps Col. Lippold, and Barbara Lippold.

 
I had the privilege to grow up all over the world, as a result, I found myself bonded to Martial Arts, both out of necessity, and out of love for the art. I have had the privilege to study under some of the greatest masters in the world.

 
I followed suit and also served in the US Navy Spec Ops, and served time with Marine Corps Force Recon among other field units....

RESUME

--------------------------------------------

04/08/2010

Look,  Some dirt bag put my name on your list and is slandering me everywhere.  I was on a tv show that was not an accurate or true depiction of me as a person.  That is why I have the credit on my IMDB page as Bad Ass Romantic, and not as "Himself" 

Please separate the difference between my professional life and my personal life.  Yes I was in the military and yes I was attached to Recon Bn, along with other field units, however,  People are confusing my personal life with something they saw on TV, "which was in no shape or form my personal life."    But this is my personal life.   I would advise you to remove my name immediately from your list, to avoid legal intervention. This is considered slander and can cause considerable liquidated damages, as my career depends upon my reputation.  I am an Actor, I Act.  That is my career.  If someone doesn't get the clarification between the two then they need to see a shrink. I am giving you this warning in all fairness.  Consider this a friendly warning. 

Jeffrey James Lippold

 ============================

04/08/2010 "Funny - he used his own name, explained his own bio, his interest in martial arts and his career on the show- so what part is it that we have wrong? If he was truly an honorable veteran he would have known the repercussions of claiming to earn a PH and SS - and he controls his own IMDB page to put whatever titles on it that he wants. His online rants and deflections to these questions only raise more questions. At least a couple of us have been in contact with him- and he has told us both completely dif stories of his background."

Ms. Yates,

I was notified yesterday (5 Dec. 2010) via telephone, from a .......  that a retired U.S. Marine Officer, LTC Robert Ledee told ............ that he (Ledee) contacted your office regarding the prosecution of former Cobb County Public Safety Director Gary “Mickey” Lloyd, for Violation of Oath of Office, Altering a Federal Document, Forgery, and Violation of the Stolen Valor Act. Ledee stated that he contacted your office (Department of Justice), and said that Lloyd was a friend of the office (due to his law enforcement career) and that his “resigning from his office was punishment enough.” Ledee also told ...................that he contacted the FBI as well, with the same answer. ....................... is willing to make a sworn statement to your office, or the FBI regarding this incident......

Mickey Lloyd, a retired Deputy Chief of the Atlanta Police Department, former Homeland Security Director for the State of Georgia, and finally the Public Safety Director for Cobb County, resigned from his public Safety Director’s position after it was brought to the public’s attention of his claims of Vietnam War service and medals were false. Lloyd claimed (and still claims) that he was awarded the Silver Star, which happens to be the 3rd highest medal this country awards for “Gallantry in Action,” two Bronze Stars for Valor, and a Purple Heart. None of Lloyd’s claims were proven. In fact, retired FBI Agent Oliver Halle stated that Lloyd told him that he was awarded the Silver Star medal, and saw a Silver Star in Lloyd’s Cobb County Public Safety Directors office “around March 2008.”

Lloyd’s submitting an altered (forged) federal document DD-214 to the Cobb County HR Department in June, of 2010 showing that he was awarded these medals, was a criminal act in itself. As a public official this includes the criminal act of Violation of Oath of Office along with his submission of a photograph claiming these awards.   

Lloyd even today, continues to say that he was awarded these medals......

[name withheld]

Excerpt of a newspaper article of fired police recruits.

Instructors stress the magnitude of honesty with recruits. Police officers are often key witnesses in criminal trials.

"If you cheat, embezzle or lie, you lose your credibility in court," Lloyd said.

Commission Chairman Sam Olens said, "Our police officers need to be beyond reproach."

-Highly decorated Navy SEAL- Team 2, BUD/S #175 (Navy Cross and Silver Star) and in his words, “one of the best there’s ever been”
-Commander of the “Northern Division” DELTA force
-Commander of the “Eastern Region” Air Marshall Program, claimed to be on the same plane my assistant was on, and had to detain 2 passengers aboard

.... If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL database for anyone named WILLIAM E. LUCEY. Be aware that I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations. In point of fact there are NO MEN listed in the entirety of the SEAL Database (end of WWII to the Present Day) with the last name LUCEY.... I checked another online database held by the Department of Defense and accessed through www.military.com under the Freedom Of Information Act by using their Buddy Finder. That database contains over 20 million records, is one of the most complete available to the general public. I found absolutely no listing in the DoD database for anyone by the name you provided. Government documentation available online does not appear to substantiate his claims of military service, and he was most definitely NEVER A US NAVY SEAL!

However, I did find a listing for a MEMBER of the Military.com web site that appears to be specifically linked to the individual about whom you are inquiring. That information takes the form of a self-provided, self-selected “profile” which includes a graphic depiction of the member’s claimed military service awards. ....   You may visit that self-created profile here à http://profile.military.com/member/view.do?memberId=14442794.

Mr. LUCEY lists among his claims to you (or your associates) his supposed service as “Commander of the Northern Division DELTA Force”, however, the unit (officially known as U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta) is not a US Naval unit and is traditionally headed by US ARMY officers.

If Mr. LUCEY’s proffered claims of being Commander of the ‘Eastern Region’ Air Marshall Program, and a member of the Federal Agent Hostage Rescue Unit are untrue, then they would constitute two instances of IMPERSONATION OF A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL, and be potentially prosecutable under federal law.

While serving as an Army Ranger, Jeff quoted the Army’s motto “leave no man behind”. Jeff became relentless in his mission to make good of that promise. For that reason, Luddeke made an appeal to a private citizen, Connie Blaney who was willing to support his visions, which lead to the foundation of Liberty Manor for Veterans. .....

Former area man charged in abduction
By CRAIG FOX

Finger Lakes Times
cfox@fltimes.com

A former Finger Lakes man was arrested last week in California on kidnapping and assault charges after he reportedly abducted his estranged wife in the parking lot of the hospital where she worked.

Anthony Luna, 44 — who lived in Geneva and Newark for several months earlier this year — led California police on a 29-hour hunt for him and his estranged wife, Amy C. Uhllackatore, 41, of Victorville, Calif., said San Bernardino County Sheriff Public Information Officer Cindy Beavers.

Police said Luna had been hiding in Uhllackatore’s car, and when she approached it around 3 p.m. Nov. 15, he got out and forced her inside it at gunpoint. ....

For weeks, Luna told friends in Webster that he was a Navy Seal and was going to be shipped out to Iraq. Luna served in the Navy until 1986 but was never a Seal...

LUNDY,  GERRY RAYMOND 11/2008 TN

Claims  former Navy SEAL. This person claims to be a graduate of BUD/S Class 104.

Claims to have been involved in many Rambo" style missions, received medals and decorations such as the CMOH, SS, BS, PH, etc., and of course, his transfer to the NSA where he worked as a sniper. There seems no end to his stories, military or
otherwise;  this guy has "done it all."

---------------------------------------------

ACTUAL RECORDS

-----------------------------------------------

Please pass this information along in response to the inquiry regarding Mr. GERRY/GERALD LUNDY.

To Whom It May Concern:

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (end of WWII to the Present Day) for anyone named GERRY/GERALD LUNDY. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that might be applicable. There were NO MEN listed in the SEAL Database with the last name “LUNDY” or any variant thereof.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be court documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that GERRY/GERALD LUNDY has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy UDT “Frogman”.

When members of the Naval Special Warfare community meet others who claim similar service, but whom they do not recognize, there is a conversational exchange of information that establishes the bona fides of each to the other. There is no set formula for this exchange, nor for the information that is exchanged, but it ALWAYS takes place, and the REAL Naval Special Warfare members can ALWAYS spot a phony as a result of this exchange. If you have an opportunity to speak with the man at some point in the future, I might suggest that you to ask Mr. LUNDY these questions:

(1) Since there is no listing in the SEAL Database for the name you are currently using, WHAT NAME DID YOU USE during SEAL training?

(2) What was his BUD/S Class Number? (NB: No SEAL ever forgets the class number he shouted all day long, every day, for 6 months)

(3) Where did his training take place? (NB: Training has been conducted at several locations over the years; different portions in different places)

(4) When did he graduate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training? (i.e. a specific graduation DATE)

There are many other questions which could be asked to further establish the level of veracity or untruth regarding his claims, such as asking for the names of other members of his graduating class, but those basic questions are absolutes. The answers to those questions are totally UNCLASSIFIED, and every real SEAL will gladly provide that substantiating information upon request, although you will be very likely be told that the information is either classified or sensitive and cannot be provided, or you will be given some totally bogus information.

I might suggest that you also ask Mr. LUNDY to specifically identify WHICH SEAL Team(s) he served on, and when. I am in direct contact with several hundred of my SEAL Teammates whose collective experience covers virtually all time periods from the Korean War to the present; I can quickly contact those individuals to verify any specific names, events, or other claims offered by Mr. LUNDY. If he feels that his name has somehow been mistakenly omitted from the SEAL records, I’d be pleased to speak with him and hear details of his service which would serve to validate his claims. The Director of the Naval Special Warfare Archives – a close personal friend and SEAL Teammate – is only a phone call away and standing by to amend the records if this is ever found to be true. However, I estimate that I’ve made the same offer to more than 5,000 SEAL imposters in the last eight years, and none of them ever turned out to be a valid SEAL. If Mr. LUNDY subsequently suggests to you or others you know that he has contacted me, the Department of the Navy, or “the government” in some way and “straightened things out”, I’d be very interested in hearing from you again.

No one gets to the SEAL Teams without first completing BUD/S Training. There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs… we know them all.

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. Based upon your report of his claims of having received numerous medals of valor, Mr. LUNDY would appear to have crossed the line from braggadocio and he would be prosecutable under the STOLEN VALOR ACT of 2005. As noted in my opening paragraph, I am a private individual and am in no way affiliated with the US Department of Defense or the US government. Despite any reports you may make/send to me regarding Mr. LUNDY’s false SEAL claims, any such information which I might pass along to the federal authorities (FBI, DCIS) in this matter would be classified as “hearsay” and therefore inadmissible in a court of law. The responsibility for reporting the individual named in your inquiry to the federal authorities as a military imposter rests with you and with anyone else who may have personally heard or received these claims from the individual himself. Whether or not you decide to report him to the federal authorities is entirely up to you, but at least you now know the truth regarding his bogus claims.

I’m certain that whatever you decide to do, you will need several witnesses who can attest to the accuracy of your report regarding Mr. LUNDY’s conduct and his claims of being a SEAL. If you should be so fortunate as to have either a videotape of him making his false claims, or photographs of him wearing ANY military medals, badges, patches, or other paraphernalia, they would be of interest to the authorities. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.

NO MILITARY RECORDS LOCATED BY NPRC

Dear POW Network,

Please pass this information along to in response to the inquiry regarding Mr. ERIC “DOC” LUOMA and his claims of being a US Navy SEAL. Additionally, please evaluate this information for forwarding to the Federal Authorities and/or other parties concerned with upholding the STOLEN VALOR ACT of 2005.

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. I am one of about a dozen men in America who possess a copy of the SEAL Database, a comprehensive and regularly updated listing of all men who trained and served with the Naval Special Warfare units (SEALs, UDT, NCDU, S&R) from the end of WWII to the present day. I also have access to archival sources who can verify/deny claims of service DURING WWII. As a former US Navy SEAL myself, I am fully familiar with the NSW training program and the standard operating procedures used by the Teams, as well as an in-depth personal knowledge of many of the ‘insider’ events and incidents which UDT “Frogmen” and SEALs offer as a part of their bona fides. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed free of charge, as a service to the public, and in honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL database of successful graduates for anyone named ERIC “DOC” LUOMA. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations. With only one exception that I am personally aware of, the nickname “DOC” is one given to enlisted men who are trained as Navy Hospital Corpsmen. There is only one (1) man listed in the entirety of the SEAL Database with the last name LUOMA. That man was a naval officer with a SEAL classification, with the rank of LT(jg) [O2] at the time he graduated from training in 1977, and the rank of COMMANDER [O5] when he transferred from active duty to the Naval Reserves. Neither his first nor his middle name is ERIC. His service was primarily performed years BEFORE SEAL Teams THREE and FIVE even came into existence. Given the time frame you offer, and the apparent rarity of the man’s last name, there is a slender possibility that the man you encountered was the son of the bona fide SEAL officer, though I would expect the offspring of a Navy SEAL to be more respectful of the military in general and less likely to offer false claims of such service.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be court documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that ERIC “DOC” LUOMA has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL.

As was noted in my earlier correspondence to you regarding another imposter, it is quite common for those making fraudulent SEAL claims to cite a “secret” training class, “special selection and skills which allowed them to bypass BUD/S training”, or “secret missions” as an explanation for the lack of military documentation to back up their stories. They also tend to claim their military records are “sealed” and cannot be accessed. I would caution you that despite anything the man might have said, there are NO secret SEALs. Before any classified operations may be undertaken, a man must first successfully complete the totally unclassified BUD/S Training program. No one gets to the SEAL Teams without completing this training; there are NO EXCEPTIONS! The graduates of that training program are listed in the SEAL database – an unclassified document which is nonetheless considered “highly sensitive” and therefore not available for general public circulation. There have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs… we know them all.

I checked another online database held by the Department of Defense and accessed through www.military.com under the Freedom Of Information Act by using their Buddy Finder. That database of over 20 million records is one of the most complete available to the general public, and is fairly accurate from about 1974 to the present day. That database originally began as a listing of all military service personnel who might have been exposed to Agent Orange while on duty in Vietnam, and was a means of keeping records for later possible monetary compensation. It was quickly recognized by the DoD as the start of a very comprehensive database of military personnel, and subsequently expanded to include virtually ALL members of the military in later years. The closer to the present time, the more detailed and complete the records in the database. For those who served in the US military from 1978 onward, these records are virtually complete and comprehensive. I found NO Department of Defense records which matched the information you provided. I did find one MEMBER record which appears to be for the man you have identified. A MEMBER record consists of information provided solely by the person who is registering for the site, and that information is NOT screened for accuracy or truthfulness by the web site.

The entry in question appears under the name Erick C. Luomaoscsusnsealretired, and as you can see it involves a rather childish composite of information. You may examine that man’s user-supplied profile information by visiting this web page à http://profile.military.com/member/view.do?memberId=2109750

The web site offers MEMBERS the opportunity to display graphics representing the awards, citations, medals, etc, which they have earned. The person who compiled the aforementioned page has chosen to display TWENTY-FOUR MEDALS, several of which are shown more than once (which is NOT the way the real military represents multiple awards). He has elected to display graphics which represent his claims of being awarded ONE Silver Star, ONE Navy Marine Corps Ribbon, TWO Bronze Stars, ONE Purple Heart, ONE Joint Service Commendation, ONE Navy/Marine Corps Commendation, ONE Navy/Marine Corps Achievement, ONE Combat Action Ribbon, ONE Good Conduct, ONE Antarctica Service, ONE Vietnam Service, TWO Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, ONE Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Silver Star, ONE Vietnam Campaign, ONE USN Expert Rifle, ONE USN Expert Pistol, ONE USN/USMC Presidential Unit Citation, ONE Meritorious Unit Commendation, ONE Navy Unit Commendation, ONE Republic of Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation, ONE RVN Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm, and ONE RVN Civic Action Honor Unit Citation with Palm. Without writing a thesis or dissertation on the subject, it is not possible in this short correspondence to describe the multitudinous errors present in this eclectic array of claimed awards.

Notably, though the MEMBER has chosen to insert the title “usnsealretired” as a part of the name he registered with MILITARY.COM, there has been no graphic selection or presentation of a Navy SEAL Trident insignia, nor of the Navy/Marine Corps Parachute “Jump Wings” which are both standard for ALL US Navy SEALs.

This display is so blatantly false and so improbable that it boggles the mind. Given his unfamiliarity with the manner in which real awards are displayed, I would suspect that the person who concocted this graphic collection has never served in the military in any fashion. He was most definitely NEVER A US NAVY SEAL! This collection of fantasy and fluff fairly “screams” of being a self-aggrandizing effort by an immature teenage “wannabe”. Although it is unlikely that the federal authorities would pursue this particular case, the claims offered by this graphic display constitute a very real violation of the STOLEN VALOR ACT of 2005. This observation is specifically based upon the apparent claims of valor medals including the SILVER STAR, the BRONZE STAR, and the PURPLE HEART. If found to be false claims, each of these carries a potential fine of $10,000 and 1 year imprisonment upon conviction.

It should be noted that the MILITARY.COM web site apparently does not screen the many thousands of entries made by registered members, and relies upon the honesty of those members with regard to the accuracy of reporting military credentials.

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams.

Very Respectfully,

Randall L Lusk

#1 Staff Sergeant Randall L. Lusk is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism while participating in aerial flight during operation JUST CAUSE. Staff Sergeant Lusk distinguished himself by heroism while serving as a Special Forces Intelligence Sergeant and substitute door gunner aboard a UH-1 helicopter gunship from 21 to 23 December 1989 while conducting reconnaissance and surveillance missions around the Pacora River, attached to Task Force Black. After coming into contact with Panama Defence Forces (PDF), the aircraft came under intense ground fire on all three occasions. Due to the pilot's poor visibility, Staff Sergeant Lusk, disregarding his personal safety, stood on the skid of the aircraft to help direct the pilot's gunfire onto the enemy positions. While performing these acts, Staff Sergeant Lusk was exposed to ground threats for an extended period of time. Staff Sergeant Lusk's courage, unwavering devotion to duty in the face of grave personal danger were instrumental in accomnplishing the hazardous mission and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army. ************************ #2 Staff Sergeant Randall L. Lusk is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight during operation Desert Storm. Staff Sergeant Lusk distinguished himself by extraordinary actions while serving as door gunner and crew chief aboard a UH-64 Blackhawk helicopter on a pilot recovery mission into a classified area. After locating the downed pilot, the helicopter came to a hover in order to retrieve the pilot. The aircraft immediately came under accurate and intense machine gun fire from a ground emplacement and also from personnel mounted in a truck. Disregarding his personal safety, Staff Sergeant Lusk dismounted the aircraft after destroying the entrenched machine gun position with the door gun. He then proceeded to recover the pilot and destroy the truck mounted enemy with his personal weapon and handgrenades. His actions resulted in the successful recovery of the pilot, along with at least twelve enemy killed, the destruction of two heavy machine guns and a numer of personal enemy weapons. His decisive actions also prevented further damage to the aircraft. His actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

ACTUAL RECORDS

The suspect DD215 is contained in the above PDF.

He claims not 1 but 2 distinguished flying crosses. Read the Desert Storm story.  He personally dismounted the aircraft and killed 12 enemy????  Where is his Medal of Honor?

His DD215 does not list 2 distinguished flying crosses.  Amazing how
many things were left off his original DD214.

Notice his corrected discharge date on his DD215. It still says 1982. Yet it lists all those medals and accomplishments that he supposedly
received in the 1990's.


According to his official records he did another year of active duty from 1983-1984.

One last thing. On his DD215 it lists in the first paragraph (WHICH IS A DIFFERENT FONT FROM THE SECOND PARAGRAPH) all of his actual schools that he went to with dates of attendance. But in the second paragraph there are no dates of attendance....
