Ben Ramos; phony SEAL
The folks at Military Phony send us their work on yet another fellow claiming to be a SEAL, Benjamin Robinson Ramos. You’ll notice the frogman tattoo in the picture above and this shadowbox;
And this conversation in social media;
But the Navy doesn’t remember that part of his career;
Four years on active duty, four years in the IRR (reserves), discharged as an E-3, no SEAL training, lots of sea duty. He also doesn’t appear in the BUD/S database. But that tattoo – who would get the tattoo without the training?

Hmm. 4 years and 10 days active duty. That’s an odd number – and maybe I’ve forgotten them, but I don’t remember any “stop loss” actions in Aug/Sep 1980.
Wonder what could have caused that extra 10 days under military control? (The question is rhetorical.)
Stop loss in Aug/Sep of 1980? Nah, retention was so bad they let me reenlist.
Love the Decorations and Awards:
NONE
So much for good conduct, this clown gives NJP a bad name.
I earned all mine damn it.
His records are so secret that he doesn’t know what awards he was given, which is why he doesn’t display them.
4 years in the Navy and this retarded dunce comes out a seaman? look up stupid in the dictionary, his picture has to be there!
Here you go, 1980 I was a Cpl no medals or ribbons of any kind. Except for the flower mommy pinned to my uniform. She out ranked the Commandant, whats a poor Cpl to do.

Just for comparison, one of my last pictures as a civilian.

How I miss the days before they handed out awards for not pissing on your shoes.
Let me fix those links:
and
I’m adding those photographs to “My hero dude married a stripper” SHRINE!
Damn Bro. Dave, in the picture taken inside the church, her face says it all. Something like, “What the hell have I gone and done?”
The second looks like she married a long- haired Hip-Eye who thought he was one of the Beatles. Tell us the truth Dave, did she ever say to you, “What’s a dude like you doing in a nice place like this?”
Seriously, bro., ALL her reading is in braille, right?
Awwww, you’re so purty!
Well said. They give awards out today for just about anything. Guys leave boot camp, especially in the Army, and they have 4 or 5 ribbons and pins.
Has he had to deal with The Hair™ yet? Four years and E3 rank which says either “FUCKUP” or “LOSER” in my book, at least he didn’t falsely claim to have been a CPO, Honorary or otherwise.
That would be my guess as well.
In the late 1970s/early 1980s, my recollection is that enlistments were extended day-for-day for any time spent AWOL and/or in confinement. I’m guessing the guy may have had a total of 10 days either UA or in confinement (or a combination of both). That would also explain his separating as an E3 with 4 years service.
I suppose the 10 day delay in his separation at 4 years could have been due to delayed return from deployment. But since the USS Rogers’ homeport was Swain Island, Portland, OR, with mission of USNR training from 1974-1980 I’m guessing not.
Haha, the Senior Chief would tear this guy up
Aww c’mon he’s got a shadowbox, pins and a big watch….not just anyone can get those. Gotta be legit.
That’s not just any old flag in that shadowbox. That flag was flown on a car antenna of someone that knew someone that watched the movie “Lone Survivor”. It even has a certificate of authenticity on the back of the frame of the shadowbox.
It’s actually the same flag that was hung from the antenna in “Death before Dishonor”.
Please tell me someone else has seen that movie…..
He’s got earrings, too – one in each ear! Definitely legit!
Nah, just shows the world that he’s a butt pirate…
He’s in Huntington Beach.
Easy enough for him to cruise down to Coronado in the afternoon, hit Danny’s for some beers and a slam burger, and see if anyone he knows from ST-3 comes rolling in for the same refreshment.
Of course, there’s more than a few (former) Teamguys living in Huntington Beach as well. Maybe he should arrange a meet at a bar, and clear this whole thing up.
Always been partial to Johnny’s. I bet he’d love it there, meeting up with the old crew.
E3 over 4? The guy was a veritable rank rocket.
Is that a NKRR? …
…North Korean Rank Rocket. Just in case anyone was questioning the reference.
I wonder if he has gotten the taste of Phildo removed from that taint tickler.
What a turd.
Four-year E-3.
High drag, low seep, indeed.
I imagine he spent a good portion of it working balls in the hall.
That’s low speed.
Damn.
Yes, but ‘low seep’ is better. I’m going to borrow that one, GT.
I think “high seep” fits this guy better. His claims seem to drip BS.
He’s a ball sack warrior… better watch out!
Why is his taint tickler all off kilter?
Another turd drops… The stupid is strong with this one
He has tats he has to be legit
I was thinking a tattoo of a footprint on his face would be cool.
GT, he’d then claim he’s a former PJ. Living in Huntington Beach I’m sure he’s very selective when he sports that hat and tat in public.
Word.
Obviously at the kiddie pool in which he is standing.
My best guess is that his fat ass can’t swim and that he “hangs” in the shallow end (where the kids are).
Turd.
Don’t quote me on this but. I seem to recall when I was in 1960-64 that “Bad Time” was added to the end of your enlistment.
Hondo’s details are better above – I’ve got additional time added because they wrongly struck leave and I worked a deal with my XO: An extension where I would take the 30 days they struck. Granted someone needs to have something like a deployment to create the condition (which Hondo addresses), but there are occasions where it isn’t to make up for “bad time”.
I know I’m sort of aiding the enemy here, but the humor value probably makes it worthwhile, I hope.
Dear active pole-smoking and possible future phony Frogs:
Here are 3 of the stupidest regions to attempt to live your phony life;
Coastal Florida
Virginia
SoCal
The chances of you eventually meeting your nemesis face-to-face are significantly greater in those regions.
Your best bet is to relocate to somewhere in Syria. Make sure to tell everyone there that you are a (former) SEAL.
I say they can all simply relocate to Pripyat, Ukraine and make a community among themselves and ME “Refugees”.
Cocksucker.
His “SEAL” claims would’ve been believable had he attempted to balance a spinning ball on his nose while clapping his hands and saying, “Arf arf arf arf…” instead of attempting to have that stuff tattooed onto him, and instead of buying SEAL items. He’s got the blubber for it. His natural appearance alone would’ve clinched him as a arf arf seal. He just had to open his mouth and make all these claims, make all these purchases, etc.
Shit, if all the SEALS knew they could have skipped BUD/S and just got a tat, and still be called a SEAL, how many would have done that?
Yes, that was sarcasm, people. I know I wouldn’t want to be called what I am today without having earned it first–even when you call me an asshole.
That’s right, even Asshole has to be earned. Got mine bestowed by a CMSgt 3 days in at Balad, AB.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that photo at the top was taken by none other then “His Gayness, The Jayness” Gay Jay Kerwin.
I wonder if it was after one of Gay Jay’s “workout” sessions?
