Jerry Lee, the Queens NY SEAL

| October 4, 2012

Don Shipley sends us this note;

Hello Guys… I have a new buddy, a corporate Head Hunter with access to job resume postings from around the world… He searches “Navy SEAL” and send them to me for verification… In the month we’ve been doing this he has sent me several HUNDRED resumes that are total fakes… I’ve sent the below clown to you.

Perhaps you can find something to post him on “This Ain’t Hell.” In my opinion, when they “Post Online” all their contact information seeking work then they should appreciate us posting their resumes in their entirety for the world to see and for others to contact them with job offers…

I’ve also attached Jerry’s picture. When I asked Jerry if he wanted to work for me as a SEAL Instructor he explained that he was VERY HAPPY at his new position working at Olive Garden…

You can’t make this shit up…

Cheers… Don Shipley…

That’s quite a fall from a 22-year Navy SEAL to a fries jockey at Burger King. But at least he’s rockin’ that plum job at Olive Garden now. I didn’t even know that we had SEALs stationed in Queens. I’m sure Bloomberg doesn’t know either.

Okay, okay… I can’t claim to be a SEAL (Larry would hurt me), but I think I was a Ranger?

Dunno just where the closest Olive Garden is, but do I qualify?

Sometimes thing go beyond “just sad” into silly.

Nik

Dude looks like he ate a couple of seals…and maybe a penguin.

Chuck W

He forgot to put I maintained a clean area of operations under Navy Seal.

Chuck W

Nik, It must be the unlimited bread sticks.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Good Lord, they must have loosened the physical requirements a bit if this fat sh1t made a team…..

With a body like that I am pretty sure it’s a safe bet he was serving himself at McDonalds and probably not serving the nation ever….

On a more positive NYC note, some of the crew of the USS Michael Murphy were in attendance at the Yankees vs. Red Sox game the other day, and they got a wild round of applause from the crowd when they were shown on the big screen.

Irrelevant, perhaps, but still was nice to see.

martinjmpr

@2: Looks like he swallowed 2 harbor seals, a sea lion and a manatee and went back for seconds.

FireFry12

So he did SEAL ops in the back of Burger King?

Nik

I bet he qualified Expert on the Fry-O-Lator.

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

@ 6 Quite relevant … I will be attending the commissioning.

Back to the Queens NY US Navy SEAL who training was conducted in fast food restaurants in the Norfolk, VA area (only within miles of Little Creek and Dam Neck).

I would like to apologize on behalf of all good New Yorker’s for his dumbf*ckness.

Back to relevancy:

This week is a special week for the Murphy Family, the US Navy, and the city and state of New York respectively. On Oct 6th at 1000 the USS MICHAEL MURPHY (DDG-112) will come alive and the mightiest man of war will set sail and take the fight to the enemy.

LT Michael Murphy was KIA on June 28, 2005 and he was posthumously awarded the MOH by then President Bush.

Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy of Smithtown, NY was born May 7, 1976 was a United States Navy SEAL and the first person to be awarded the military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for actions during the War in Afghanistan. He was also the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War. His other posthumous awards included the Silver Star and Purple Heart.

Michael Murphy was born and raised in Suffolk County, New York. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University with honors and dual degrees in political science and psychology. After college he accepted a commission in the United States Navy and became a United States Navy SEAL in July 2002. After participating in several War on Terror missions, he was killed on June 28, 2005, after his team was compromised and surrounded by Taliban forces near Asadabad, Afghanistan.

I am proud of this man, honored to know the Murphy family, and look forward to one of the precious of Naval traditions … the commissioniong of a ship … the USS MICHAEL MURPHY (DDG-112).

Here’s his facebook if anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/leejr.jerry

OK, time for the standard offer: if anyone can come up with a full name and DOB or SSN, I’ll send NPRC a FOIA and we’ll see what his actual military records say about his military service – if any.

I’m also kinda curious about that gap in his resume between 2002 and 2009. Seems kinda like it’s in the “5 to 10” year range.

Old Tanker

Holy fuck….he lasted one month at BK….looks like they must have closed because tiny here ate them out of business!!!!

Old Tanker

Hondo,

My guess is you leave jail time off of the typical resume!

Flagwaver

Can we make it legal for Mr. Shipley to fist bump these guys in the testicles for claiming to be SEALs when they aren’t?

Bill R.

He’s not even a retiree, let alone a former SEAL. If he were a retiree, he would know that nobody retires on the 4th of the month.

Frankly Opinionated

I used his e-address to send him a warm note of love:
” Hello Jerry:
In doing my daily read around the web, I came across your resume. I am not concerned with the “get nowhere” history of yours at Burger King, McDonald’s or Olive Garden, but I am interested in your claim of 22 years as a SEAL.
You fat, lying, piece of useless shit phony. Our first clue as to your uselessness was in not even knowing that SEAL types never, ever write it as you did “Seal”, but instead always capitalize each letter. You have a Norfolk, VA address? That is a very dumb place to claim to be one of the Navy’s finest, and making such dumbassed claims could cause someone up there to really want to talk to you, alone and personal. Take a look at your fat, phony ass over here at “This Ain’t Hell”, where we have put your name up in lights: http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=32255.
You’ve reached the bigtime, dude. Stop over and explain how you are going to sue us, and how your little sister put up the phony info. Or will you have a woman stop by to defend you. We’ll be waiting to hear from you.
Frankie Cee”

The epidemic of poseurs both big and small seems to be getting worse and worse as noted before.

Soon y’all gonna have to do a poseur of the month award climaxing with a poseur of the year award (kinda like playmate of the month and a playmate of the year).

Frankly Opinionated

I hit his friends list to send the link to this post. I am sure that he wants them all to see how famous he is becoming.

Nik

I don’t want to make him mad. I’m scared he’ll come to Oregon and start eating his way through people till he finds me.

MCPO #2

I saw that guy in concert about 30 years ago.

He was much thinner then, and had blonde hair.

Hack Stone

Maybe he has a Steven Segal Under Siege cover story for working in BK/Olive Garden. I can understand him not wanting to leave Olive Garden. When I was recruiting in the Midwest in the late 1980’s, I inherited a poolee from a departing recruiter. Time for him to ship, he had the old change of heart. He was 20 year old guy with a pregnant wife, and din’t want to leave his job at the car parts store because he was making $5 an hour. Maybe old Jerry Lee Lewis here is in the same situation.

Question for Mr. Shipley, how far did you string him along before you dropped the hammer? Anything like that video that you posted here a few weeks back?

2-17 AirCav

Of course he lied on his resume. Just look at him. Clearly he only inserted and never extracted.

PALADIN

Fat sack of shit would’nt make a pimple on a Navy SEALS ass !

Where do these clowns hatch ?

Fuck, they’re not even trying anymore.

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

Thanks for laying off New York …. and laying into him!

I love TAH!

O-4E

Dang it! This guy took my plan…

As I get ready to retire here shortly after 25 years (sadly not as a SEAL)I also am planning on taking a 7 year break…then returning to the workforce as a fast food worker

2-17 AirCav

@27. My sense is that Veterans don’t make good waiters or food-order takers. I mean, a guy will do what he must to make a buck but I just don’t see a Veteran being very adept at suffering an A-hole who thinks his fries are cold or his burger too long in the making. Maybe I’m wrong but I just can’t see it. Me, I’d last in that job about two seconds after some clown looked at me sideways.

Yat Yas 1833

SEAL my a$$! A WALRUS maybe but no frickin’ way this lard a$$ was a SEAL!

2-17 AirCav

Nothing says SEAL like an “In Doe We Trust” t-shirt.

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

@ 30 STOP IT ALL OF YOU …………. my ribs are killing me!

streetsweeper

Maybe what he meant is….He SEALED food storage bags for B/K and it was a lateral transfer to Olive Garden??? Not that they support the troops or vets any…

OWB

@ #28 You are most likely correct. Some years back, a young friend tore up a knee so badly during one of those Army training deals that he went out on a medical. Took him years to settle into a decent job. Funny, but he actually did finally fit in at an O/G where he could hide out in the kitchen and did not have to deal much with the public.

Green Thumb

Fish Sandwich.

Hack Stone

Okay, which slogan does he have tattoed somewhere on his fat ass, “Bonus Vicis , Valde Salad Olive Ortus” (Good Times, Great Salad, Olive Garden) or “Ut You’re Hic You’re Prosapia” (When you’re here, you’re family)?

A tip of the kevlar to Al Gore for inventing the internet so that I could use an on-line English To Latin Translation site.

NHSparky

Air Cav–I can imagine how that exchange would go:

“Uh, excuse me? These fries aren’t all that fresh or hot.”

“Then stick ’em up your ass and warm ’em up! Jesus, anything else you wanna whine about?”

Something like that?

NHSparky

Hey, now come on people, it’s entirely plausible this guy did SEAL ops and ended up running the fryolator.

“Yeah, there I was, no shit, man. Me and this ex-VC guy named Colonel Wat Du Phuck and a total fucking badass Marine Sergeant Major who couldn’t spell worth a shit and liked pictures of his tied up girlfriend did a night infil up the Hudson River off a submarine commanded by this total badass the crew kept calling Ballduster. Some guy named Soupy on there told us we didn’t have a hair on our asses to sneak in and snatch the secret Big Mac sauce. Not only did we get that shit, we plowed into Wendy’s “hot and juicy” as a little side trip. That was some hairy shit, that op.”

LCDR M(Ret)

Sheesh! Cut the guy some slack, guys! He had to account for that huge employment gap SOMEHOW!

@28

Couldn’t agree more. Both my son and me had trouble after we got out working at those sorts of places. It mostly wasn’t about the public, but more about some doofus manager type who droned on about “uniform regulations” and “teamwork” and “putting the mission first” when talking about “his crew” at the local WendyMcWhopperDQ joint. They had no clue.

I ended up starting my own business and also working construction part time. Construction was great because I could take out my frustrations on defenseless nails and studs. 🙂

Veritas Omnia Vincit

@35 You can tell by my nickname I was forced to study the “romance” languages (boy did that term not turn out like I thought it would)…

I like many quotes from the ancients, Socrates has some interesting observations…our boy here is about as worthless as they come….

“Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.”

Just GOOGLE mapped his address.
Here is the link:

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=virginia%20criminal%20record%20search&gbv=2&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

After spending so long in the Navy, it seems his housing situation has diminished. Haven’t been able to tap into any on-line criminal records checks for VA Beach, Norfolk or surrounding counties.

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

Yo mofo jus because he lives along side a highway, in a flood zone, surrounded by abandoned cars, dead cats, in a crack neighborhood … it does not make him a bad guy!

BTW is is a bad area!

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

@ Hack Stone ….. spilled coffee all over desk!

Ex-PH2

@VOV, it’s ‘romanse’ languages, as in ‘derived from the Roman language’.

‘Romance’ languages can be found in Harlequin’s romance line of books. Whole different category.

Ex-PH2

…and that should be ‘language of the Romans’ which is Latin.

Sorry, no caffeine yet.

USMCE8Ret2012

@ #44 / MCPO NYC USN (Ret.) That’s not the point I was trying to make. It just seems to me that after 22 years of service, he have learned some skills and developed the desire to improve his situation. But then again, I’m not him.

Hondo

Interesting, Ex-PH2. The covers of the few Harlequin novels I’ve ever seen were in English – which is a Germanic vice a Romance language. (smile)
