Phony Navy SEAL of the Week. The IM GONNA SUE DON SHIPLEY Rescue Swimmer Phony SEAL. Stolen Valor 

I started in Class 135 but was transferred to an elite fighting force called the "A-Team". We performed missions every Monday evening for 13 weeks on NBC over 6 seasons until a drop in ratings forced the cancelation of the team. From there, I was deployed as a rescue swimmer on a team called, "Bay Watch", keeping America safe from Jellyfish and naughty people.

I served in the Marine Corps and got injured early in my active duty service. But, I'm honored I got to earn the title and served. Bumped into someone that said he was a Marine and never was. That shit pissed me off because we went through the hurt to earn it and for someone else just to claim it and not be it.

The only SEAL l ever met is an actual seal. Them water puppies. Good work Mr. Shipley and Mrs Diane.

Sir Just a regular blue collar here, commendable hair line. Ya I'm jealous.

These people have been lying for decades, and now thanks to the internet, we have instant access to all information. Resulting in - Gotcha!!

Like the "Bridle Ring" jump at Benning

Mr. Shipley, I enjoy watching your videos and respect the work you do. I fully understand your pride and chauvinism for serving as a Navy SEAL. I would respectfully ask you not to claim that the SEALs training is the toughest in the world, all the more so because there are several Special Forces operational in the world that are at least as good in terms of training and education. Thanks in advance and stay safe.

If he was a rescue swimmer why would'nt you just be proud of that ? I would be proud to tell people that I did that .

Senior. Love your content. I was an (FMF) CORPSMAN. I appreciate what you do to expose these posers.

If you think Don is a bad ass wait until you see his son, go check him out on the Shawn Ryan podcast...the amount of action he seen & injuries he got in his SEAL career is unbelievable!

Dude was probably assigned to chipped paint on the Uss never dock and was probably TDA to the scullery for most of his time.

I know I was a Rescue swimmer. There is a typo on my DD214 that covers that as well, Damn it!!

Fake Seals should get tattoos saying "the only easy day was before Don Shipley called me"...

That photo hahaa Hardcore

Don made him go from ‘I was a Navy SEAL’ to ‘I once heard there were SEALs being transported on a ship full of 4,000 people that I may or may not have been cleaning the bilges on’ real quick 🤣

The best content ever 😂😂😂😂 it’s unfortunate that these Bozo’s don’t have a life !

7:13 lmao at the pic

I was a seal the first class was trumpet playing then learning to clap and play then working with the clowns I was a graduate of Barnum and Bailey circus who raa

Based on my convos w/ex-service people I see inflation of duties up the commando spectrum. Having done airborne and ranger training, but never serving in an active airborne or Ranger unit, I am in no way a spec ops qualified troop. Just from a pure % standpoint the number of Spec Ops service members times 40% (direct action folks vs supporters) / total service members would leave you with a likely less than 1 in 5,000 real front line Tier guys/gals. As I now interview lots of service members for jobs, unfortunately, earning potential for comms, intel and nuke qualified people is 10x more than "commandos" :)

7.24 the picture in the bottom corner is of one of the Royal Navy sailors who was captured by the Iranians, I know this because the entire time they were captured I have to listen to my uncle Mickey shouting and screaming at the television. He had been on HMS Coventry during the Falklands, so he didn't come back on Coventry. The fact that the Royal Navy officer in charge of the Sea Boat had ordered the Royal Marines not to fire and resist the boarding action which ended in everyone being taken prisoner as a result then the subsequent conduct of the Royal Navy sailors whilst they were captured in his words cast a shadow over the good name of the Royal Navy. At least the bootnecks didn't let the side down. Bit of a random comment lol

See I know all of them piss Don off but I feel like this guy pissed him off just a little bit more than most of the others.

I am fat as a seal. Does that count?

What the hell is even that, Don?!

I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force and I’m proud of what I did. I don’t see why people can’t just be proud of what they did with their service.

He got tired of being in the water all the time, so he became a rescue swimmer? Mother of God....

Considering the way Don goes after phoney SEALs, I can only imagine how determined he was when he was serving. Not exactly a guy on want to be up against, but definitely a guy I’d want on my side.

My Father was a cook on a Destroyer Tender. He was also in the Blue Jackets Choir. He served 4 years and I am proud of him! Thank you to all who served our Great Country no matter what branch you were in or what your Job was. Thank you! These stolen valor people need to be thrown into jail !

As a Corpsman, HM-8406, I had to go through the Navy's First Class Swimmer training, as well as the parachute drag, drown proofing, ejection seat, high altitude chamber, and the Dilbert Dunker. I had a blast - it was fun and the swimming was hard. But I loved it. But they made a mistake on my DD-214 and made me Secretary of the Navy.

I was a cop in the USAF. There's no way I would say that I was a Pararescueman (PJ) or a Tactical Air Controller (TACP). Be proud of what you did if you actually served.

from "I'm a Navy Seal" to "I trained with the Seals" and "I went on missions with the Seals" to "I was on the boat with Seals" Priceless 😀

Mr Shipley, I just found out through the YMCA that their swim classes are full for the summer. Is there any chance I could go through SEAL training to become a better swimmer?

Telling a Navy Seal you worked along side of them as a rescue swimmer is like a sea bass following a shark through the ocean to prevent the shark from drowning.

As a disabled Vietnam Veteran (366th SPS, K9, DaNang) it turns my stomach to listen to these people spew the garbage they do regarding their military service! I truly feel sorry for the stress and frustration you have to deal with Don to verify the claims they make. I’m confident the the members of all Navy SEAL Teams, past, present and future are thankful for all that you do to maintain the legacy you all truly deserve. “Welcome Home” Don and thank you again for all that you do to expose these imposter’s! 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸

I fed the SEALS with my granddaughter at Sea World in 18' !!

I love how people who lie about being in military always need to be Commandos. They can't just be supply clerks or cooks.

The more I see of this guy the more I like, love the zero tolerance and the straight call out of the bullshit. The world needs more honourable men like Don Shipley

He busted him on the bell. Way to go senior chief.

I once ran into a consultant who claimed to have been a SEAL. Called Shipley to verify. And indeed the guy was! I honestly didn’t expect that

Have you ever noticed that when Don asks something fairly innocuous like, "How'd you get that injury?" they'll immediately jump into a long, rehearsed story full of details, but when Don asks something more direct, like, "Can you give me the names of some of the guys you graduated with?" they take a pause, then turn into stuttering jellyfish with a sudden case of amnesia?

I was a SEAL, no wait I never said I was a SEAL... I served with SEAL,s... well I was on a ship once with a SEAL... well I saw one once on the TV.... You have a lot of patience Don. Love your videos, regards Wayne

Don, just remember, that guy serves chow, so "no soup for you!" He's a seal!

Love how these guys give these huge date discrepancies. "I went through in 1985...I mean 1883...I mean 2052."

That sign off… “If you think of any more bullshit stories, feel free to give me a call so I can shoot holes in it.” I’m in stitches 🤣

During out processing I was told to THOROUGHLY check my DD214 for mistakes, because it is essentially a second birth certificate. I can't imagine casually using a "typographic error" as an excuse for getting called out. Full disclosure: the scariest action I ever saw during my time in San Diego was the Tijuana donkey show.

I graduated high school with a whopping 2.8 GPA because I just didn’t give a crap. I was lucky enough to do good enough in the ASVAB to get into the Air Force on an open contract and ended up a C-130 crew chief. I had a blast and very proud of my service. These SEALS are on a whole level by themselves and I have a ton of respect for what they do. Go get ‘em boys!

There's a donut shop in my area called "Shipley Donuts" it's just as sweet as these videos 😂 great donuts by the way

Signed, sealed and delivered as a phony. Never mess with a man’s wife especially if it is Don. Excellent job on this one! You packaged his lies up nicely!

Don, I know this guy and he's telling the truth! After he and I went thru BUDS we were secretly reassigned to fly F14s (after two weeks of intensive training, of course). I went on to run the Top Gun school for a few years until I transferred over to the Air Force to fly the lead Thunderbird aircraft. He had a few weeks leave so he got Rescue Diver trained, did few missions with the SEALS, and after realizing they couldn't keep up with him he told the Navy he wanted to go back to being a Boatswains Mate and put in a chit to open a gift shop on the boat (approved by CINCPAC, of course). I remained in the AF until the F35s came on line and I switched to the Marines where I now lead the Special Super Duper Secret Marine Fighter Jet Shooting and Bombing Stuff School based on the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier... and guess who ended up being the skipper of the boat?! Yep, that awesome Rescue Diver/BUD/Aviator/Fry Cook/Rope Tying Specialist that you just made fun of. OOOOOoooooo! You're in trouble now Don! Lawsuit coming' yer way!

Most nights, I go down this rabbit hole on RU-vid. I inevitably end up on Don Shipley calling out these fake SEALs. As a Marine, and someone who hears fake ass stories all of the time, this brings a huge smile to my face. Keep up the great work. I love this shit! Semper Fi

I was a US Marine from 1970 to 1973. I wasn't a combat Marine, but I am no less proud of my service in the Corps. So when I see these phonies that you unmask, I get so mad, I want to chew barbed wire. Actually, I'm going to leave the barbed wire chewing to you, because I think you probably have a meter or two of it for breakfast each morning. Thank you for your dogged pursuit of all those stolen valor saps. The USA could use more tigers like you.

My paperwork says this. I know I was this. He's not even good at lying 🤦‍♂️

Sounds legit, I believe him. I went through BUDS to work on my boat carrying skill. Capt thought it would be good practice.

I LOVE you! Just crack me up!!

Don, a fan from Glasgow Scotland here. Your an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. Please keep exposing these idiots!

I salute anyone who served. I appreciate it. But I wasn’t born yesterday either. I’m shocked at the guys who served and don’t say a word about it. Those are the real hero’s.

Stolen Valor is one of the biggest scumbag things someone could do. For all of you servicemen and servicewomen out there... Thank You for your service and protecting this Great Country of ours 🇺🇸💪🏼

I once served a Navy Seal at a McDonalds in Coronado so that made me vital to the mission so the guy told me I was a Navy Seal so of course I went straight to the tattoo shop and had a Seal Trident tattooed across my chest………….I had to take out a second mortgage on my 1960 double wide to pay for the tattoo!!!!!!

I can see your rage at the end of the phone call. Sir, I congratulate you on keeping your shit together. I'm not military and I'm not American but I sure love to see a person squirm when a bold face lie is unraveled. Hi from South Australia and thank you for being a champion.

"I was a rescue swimmer when I was a bos'n's mate. They train bos'n's mates to be rescue swimmers," says the Walter Mitty, not realizing that Don was ACTUALLY a bos'n's mate, and knows EXACTLY what training he did and didn't get. Love it when the liars step in the bear trap.

I never served in the Military, one of the greatest regrets of my life. Most of my friends and work colleagues all served in the Armed Forces in a variety of capacities. I’m very thankful, grateful and appreciative of all the men and women that served (serve) in the U.S. Military. Thank you all for your service!!! It’s a damn shame that there are idiots out there that try and steal that honor away. Expose every last one of them.

You're such a legend, Don! You will always be a legend, sir! Thank you for existing!

Why can't some people be just be proud they served. I don't care if you peeled taters your whole military career, you still served. What a great service you perform Mr Shipley, thank you!👍🤘✌😎

My dad served 3 tours in Vietnam he’s long passed but this shit has always pissed him off because of the real horrible shit he as a young man had to see and do.. awesome job exposing this piece of shit. GODSPEED

As a criminal investigator listening to Don's videos are some of the best material for studying liars. He's a great interrogator.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm so happy you are doing what you do, I never served but my dad was in the Navy from 1962-67 on a subhunter plane, he was a navigator and flew all over the world, he's passed away now, but he would get a kick out if what you do, keep it up I love it!

What really breaks my heart is when veterans lie about their service. You served with honor, no matter what your mos. Be Proud..

I was a third class petty officer squid who did absolutely nothing, but I'll never forget the night I went to marching party in boot camp in San Diego, and the seals came over and worked us out for 2 hours in the middle of the night on the grinder in the rain and it was the most horrific experience I ever had in my life. It also gave me an immense amount of respect for seals and pretty much shored up my Billet as a sonar technician.

I respect anyone who had the fortitude to serve in the US military, be it a cook, yeoman, deck ape or Delta. No one is conducting a mission from start to finish by yourself.

Don looks so stressed out at the end of some the calls!!, I worry about the effects these phonies have on his health. I know it's just phone calls but it can be mentally exhausting talking to fuckwits every day especially if the subject matter is something that is personally important to you. I'm going to join the website today because I think this is a cause worth supporting 🙂

I was a combat infantryman (3rd ID, A co, 1-64 AR, 04-08 out of Stewart). Two combat tours, wounded, and had a lot of guys get wounded or killed during that time. All that combat, all that ass sitting, dodging IED’s, the sweat, the injuries, the bonds, the hard times. After I got out, I rarely even talk about it anymore. Most of the guys I served with, who worked a helluva a lot harder than me, also have simply moved on with their lives. The guys who really put it on the line, who I saw in some cases engaged in absolutely selfless and heroic acts, have simply just become good men in society and never looked back. Guys who have been there, rarely talk about it. That’s how you can spot a fake. They won’t shut up about their stories. Fuck those guys. RIP Sergio Gudino KIA 25Dec2005

You tore him a new one!! "Did you go through SEAL school?" "It says on my DD214 that I did." ("I had to pay an extra $20 to get the internet company to put that on my fake DD214") I watched some of Don Shipley's YT videos. Therefore, I am a Navy SEAL! 🤣

"Grinder ". Boy does that bring back memories

I’m just glad we have someone like Don out there catching these low life’s... thanks Don. Appreciate everything you do/did for us.

Hes smokin buds this dude. Love your work. Columbo with better hair. 😂 God bless 🇺🇸 oh those photos you put up 😂

your the man Don . keep it going

Don’t mess with “The Hair” bro…love ya Don…Semper Fi brother

Don, I know y'all were grateful the rescue swimmers were watching over you SEALs! He was working alongside you guys when he was painting the hull too. LOL! That guy was a hoot! I've seen 4th graders who didn't do their homework, make up better stories than that guy.

I served chow to the SEALS that’s funny 😂

I was in aviation for 28 years, started out on UH-1's. Spent the last 21 years as an AH-64 pilot. No one ever claims to be an Apache pilot. I feel cheated, not really, you get my point. On the other hand, I did run into an old guy who was a sales man said he was a B-52 pilot. I asked him a couple of questions only a bomb dropper would know, he didn't know crap and switch out sales men with me.

When im having a bad day I enjoy coming here and watching someone get roasted by Don. We need a guy like you in Australia reducing the vast pool of "retired SAS"

I'm addicted to these videos.

Really grateful to have been raised to be an honest, humble human being that didn't need to make up stories to feel better about myself. I've done nothing. I'm a nobody. Screwed up most things in my life (never jailed or anything that severe), but I'm proud of what i did given the hand i was dealt with severe disabilities. Funny ... my life is a living hell of pain, fear, and hopelessness as i spiral towards death. But i find myself feeling sorry for THESE GUYS! Because in couldn't imagine needing to lie to everyone i meet to feel better about myself.

I was a Rescue Swimmer too, inside Dad's gonads...original BUDS training.

This is one of the best ones yet. Bravo, sir.

Never clicked so fast. Keep it up Don! 🌴🤘

Get em Shipley 💪 👏 lol

Thanks for your service brother

Sad to see a service member making false claims. Everyone plays their part, remember your core values and do the right thing we aren’t all meant to do the cool shit. For those that “almost” joined be glad you didnt. Its an honorable thing to do but its not always cool guy stuff like the movies. To Don shipply, thank you for your service and all the videos that keep me entertained.

GOD BLESS DON SHIPLEY! OUT HERE DOING THE LORD'S WORK ONE PHONY SEAL AT A TIME!! 🇺🇲💪🏻🔱 🇺🇲💪🏻🔱🇺🇲💪🏻

Awesome job Don!!! You definitely are a legend. I've never served in the military myself. I don't understand why all of these guys lie about such nonsense!! It absolutely makes me sick!!!!! Keep up the awesome work Don. I hope you and your wife have a great weekend.

I was going to join the Navy and be a SEAL, but I almost drowned when the recruiter gave me a bottle of water to drink.... So he introduced me to the Army recruiter and I became a paratrooper.

Love what you do brother keep it pushing

Don, you are the funniest dude on the internet. As an old Dogface Soldier in the Army I love to see how many fake Seals are out there. Now I understand why VA benefits reps piss me off so much. Always asking Don Shipley questions about my DD 214 data that they happened to misplace. 😂 I guess there is a nut case on every corner claiming SOF top secret squirrel shit. Keep up the good work Sir. You always make me laugh with your interrogations and then I get pissed at the same time listening to these idiots walking around claiming any military background. Please keep the videos coming. It’s better than any standup comedic relief on television.

Don doesn’t play!

Don, you don't understand - he was probably in a classified outfit! 😂😂😂😂

I absolutely love you man. You are a noble man doing a noble job. My Dad was a Navy Seaman. He was aboard the U.S.S. Bunker Hill when it was hit by two kamikazis and nearly 400 sailors and pilots died. He was proud to have been a Seaman, and never, ever, would have resorted to what these boneheads are doing as they try to claim valor they never earned. Plain and simple. Screw those fakes, and thank God you take them to task for trying.

I’m a Marine Corps veteran. I was in the band and went MSG Bn (Embassy duty) then got out. It’s weird that I hardly ever meet any average military people. Everyone is a damn SEAL or a fucking sniper. Why? What’s wrong with these guys? When I hear their bullshit I just say “of course you were” and roll my eyes. Half of the time they are short and fat guys with stickers all over their car as if that’s the proof. I once met one of these “SEALs” and I said “but you turned into a whale.” He looked dumbfounded.

We need more people like don

To Be a good Liar you have to have a great memory...

I have way to much respect for the men that went through SEAL training and served to that extent to ever disparage them by pretending to ever have been one. These are the best of the best in the military and that's saying a lot given the great men and women who serve. If this guy was a rescue swimmer that's a very important job and something to be proud of. That stands alone as very difficult duty. I somehow doubt he was never even a rescue swimmer.
