Phillip Dale Monkress, “All-Points Logistics”, and a metric shitton of the Federal money he’s getting
I get peeved when we get calls from lawyers asking/telling us to take stuff down. I really get peeved when Jonn tells then that they should discuss it with our lawyer (me) and the lawyer then changes to being all nice and just suggests we should do it. Even more, I hate when we catalogue the perfidy with links, and the subject just goes and deletes the links. Weiss did that too. Right after we pointed out that his claim that he had never lied about serving didn’t work well with his Army tattoos.
As Jonn said about Phillip Dale Monkress, All-Points Logistics, and their lawyer earlier:
Last week, a lawyer representing Phillip Monkress called to ask us to take down the posts and comments about him because it was damaging his business. We didn’t do that either. Since the Supreme Court won’t let the government punish the phonies, this is the only thing we have left to police our ranks. I’m pretty sure that no one here cares that Monkress’ business is failing.
And so, Monkress tried to scrub the internet. And one of the first things…..was a Power Point presentation which appeared on their website. Luckily, we saved it before it got deleted. Bear in mind that the ostensible defense is that Phillip Dale Monkress never claimed to be a US Navy SEAL, you know, despite him wearing the trident in this picture.
Anyway, in particular I liked this, Page 2 of said Power Point:
Wait, what? I thought he wasn’t a SEAL? Well, we actually know he wasn’t a SEAL, but his defenders seem to be claiming that he never said he was. How does one explain this slide then?
So, what customers does All-Points Logistics have that might be under the impression they are hiring a company led by a former member of our most valorous fighting force? Probably just Mom and Pop stores, right?
OK, well, maybe the Gov’t just hasn’t bothered to research it. Besides, it’s not like he is trading in on the common knowledge that SEALs are trained in a ton of security stuff, and he wasn’t. He’s probably just supplying widgets or something. Certainly nothing war-related.
OK, I guess I can live with all that. As long as he isn’t doing anything with my beloved US Army.
Ohhhhhhh.
Well then. Maybe I should write a letter to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee to see if there were any improprieties in the process. A guy who would make an innocent mistake about being a US Navy SEAL in a Power Point Presentation put out by his own company might have made some innocent mistakes elsewhere. A FOIA to get the information on these contracts might be interesting reading.
Chances of the lawyer again contacting us to take this down is probably pretty high. I suspect they’ll try to hit us with some Copyright claim again. Looking forward to hearing how our using this isn’t protected under Fair Use.

Tube 2 flooded and equalized, ready in all respects. Weapon is warmed and ready. Open outer doors, match generated bearings, and shoot. Two away, running hot, straight, and true. Time to impact, aw, fuck.
Time to duck, Monkress, you lying fake fucker. Last time I checked, back in the 1990’s, DS wasn’t a SEAL source rating.
@NHSparky – you owe me a keyboard and a new can of Sprite. Excellent!
Can you be a member of a SEAL Team without being SEAL-qualified? I was in an armored division, but wasn’t Armor-branched (I was Infantry and Field Artillery qualified).
Then again, I didn’t claim to be a DAT.
I suppose it is possible to be an attachment, but that would make this his third defense if he used it. And it wouldn’t really explain wearing the trident. Or his claim he never said he was a SEAL. (We have other stuff too BTW, just wanted to put this one up since they took it down. In fact, if you go back to the original post, and go to all the links left in the comments, all of them are gone. I wonder why. The timing is just curious.)
@3 NO NO NO. No BUDS no Trident. You can be Seal Team Support. No device for that but your own WarFare pin if you are in a qualifing unit.
@3…not only no, but FUCK NO.
And TSO, nothing in his FOIA or Page 5 would indicate he was ever a part of any SEAL Support Unit. He was, in parlayance of the term, a “tender puke.”
The only SEAL you can be without actually being a SEAL is by being one of these:

True. I was being overly lawyerly.
But yeah, I’ve seen nothing either that indicates so.
It actually kind of makes me sad that the COO seems to be legit. I don’t know how you could work for someone like this when you know they are full of it.
It’s amazing how much of a blind eye some people will turn when the paycheck is big enough, TSO. But yeah, I went through his stuff on the original thread again. No way in hell he ever had squat to do with SEALs, unless there might have been a couple walking around the tender one day.
Be interesting to see what Senior Chief Shipley would do to this clown.
Can anyone say “Fraud, Waste and Abuse”. Keep hammering this turd Jonn!!
@1 Sparky, that was simply grand.
@8 Some of these liars are pretty convincing, who knows what Monkress told him and maybe Capt. Bole took it at face value. A lot of veterans are not privy to the depth and extent of the SV stuff. The owner of my company is a Nam Vet with a Bronze Star signed by tricky Dick Nixon and he had no idea how many of these guys were floating around. One of our sales men is a Nam Vet and didn’t realize it either.
I showed them some of what goes on here and they were completely amazed at the volume of turds….
#3 MajMike,
You’re showing your age. DATs went out long ago. It’s CDATs now.
Gee I would like to hear Don on the phone with him……..
Charlatan turd.
Good job there TSO and Jonn!
Wonder if Bruce Bole knew of his fraudulent status? Looks like Capt. Bole left the company recently. Hmmmm.
@17, did he? Good. That makes me feel somewhat better.
But if he left, he hasn’t updated his employer on Facebook yet unfortunately.
TSO: they would be much more intimidated if your communications included a picture of you your awesome beard. They’d know that all was lost from the get go.
On a serious note I manage proposals for one of the firms listed and we have used a sub that was all SEAL bubbas. Awesome folks. It wasn’t this one.
Hehheheheheh,… How much longer ’til we read about his “Crash & Burn”? Keep up the great work! To all who’ve taken a part in outing that poodle turd poser, If I ever get the pleasure of meeting any of y’all in person, your next shot & a beer is on me!
TSO, I ran a Bing search for Bruce Bole and glanced at his LinkedIn profile. Bole is now the CEO of a different company. 🙂
#3- I think the only ones who get ‘team’ type status without being BUDs are the Special Boats guys- but they go thru training that’s hard enough as it is.
Wolf–and they’re VERY careful to explain they are NOT, repeat NOT, SEALs.
@9 Mr. Shipley is aware and working on it as we speak =)~
@24: Senior Chief is, or his hair is? Don’t f**k with his hair, cuz you’re in for a bad day if he turns loose the ‘doo.
@25, if Don’s hair ever calls my beard on the phone, I’ll be baby faced again.
@24 freaking awesome, they need it. I think a news team should be working on it too. I actually had a dream that he called my ass up to chew me out. Scary freaking stuff.
I am still curious as to his degree from Valdosta State.
@28 I’m betting against it being Physics…..
@28&29 no degree from Valdosta State
@27 🙂

The award of the HHIMS contract makes APL’s Houston Division the largest contingent of employees for the company.” APL also provides software development and IT professional services as a subcontractor on the International Space Station and Orion Programs in Houston.
Did anyone ever determine if he is even a disabled vet? He seems to be bidding under a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set aside category. Surely Contracting Offices would have verified that? Surely.
@33 yes he is a service disabled vet
That is probably the only truth in his designation
I’ll bet anything the information on the Powerpoint presentation from his web site is also all made up.
There’s no fuggin’ way that guy has that much government business. It looks like he’s cornered the fuggin’ market on logistics planning to me.
BTW … Yes … Don Shipley is a Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO, E-8), however just before Don retired from the Navy the US Navy E-9 & E-9 Selection Board promoted Don Shipley’s hair to Master Chief (E-9).
LOOK IT UP!
I am speaking with the local tv station’s investigative reporting team to see if they are interested in pursuing this.
@35 sad but true. It isnt made up. we have it on good authority that its all legit. That is what infuriates me. He’s been rocking the lie for YEARS!
All I know about Shipley is he’s a pit bull never back down bad ass! Haha
Ok, I’m Retired Army Signal Corps, 24 years. Got a Navy PUC in 2004, supporting the USMC. I guess I’m a SEAL now too.
You gotta be shittin me. We have to stop this! Inaction is = Aiding…

@13 — per Woodman, yup. Proudly, just another unreformed 11Bravo10.
Extra shit-for-brians fudgepacking loser.
@TSO. If the document was created & produced for consumption outside of the company, it IS NOT proprietary.
I just hope we get to hear about it after some real-life SEAL, current or former, catches up to this clown and treats him like a cheap doormat with Jane Fonda’s picture on it!
Omni- I know but they will claim it anyway. It’s what they do when they have no legal recourse.
I’m sure his weekend was ruined. He’s a paranoid sociopath.
I have family in his neck of the woods. I think I will make a phone call and let the investigation begin. Sounds like he loves to blow his own horn. There has to be more documentation with his claims on it. Especially if he attends anything local as in speaking engagements, awards ceremonies, etc. His type will always go the extra mile to make the story better. I have a feeling more is out there.
What a complete joke and loser!!!
I love all of these posts. I still think he needs a spotlight segment on a national news. But before that can happen we have to make a lot of noise about this shitbag! Who’s in?
A couple of points: Capt Bruce Boles is a class guy, academy grad, pilot, served in Iraq, 32 yr vet, served with distinction & honor, and here is the key — he got sucked-in by the Monkress lie-mill. The Capt finally got out. God bless him. Monkress screwed him over on vacation hours, lied to him about business share, and so much more.
Monkress and his band of office drunks are incapable of honesty and real business development on their own. If it weren’t for his relationship with the Boeing small business rep, he would not get the business with Boeing and NASA that he has. He and his company is not capable of honesty.
