Daniel Dembinski; fly-tying phony SEAL
Our buddy, “Taco” Bell sent us a link to the Facebook page of Daniel Deminski’s fly-tying business, which is somehow better represented by a SEAL than a regular guy;
Well, of course, since he’s being featured on TAH, he isn’t a SEAL according to Don Shipley;
Ohh Boy… I spoke with Daniel and he was very free with one bullshit story after another. He claimed BUD/S Class 237.
I pulled the roster of 237 and asked if he knew Matt Axelson and he said he did not know Matt… I asked if he’d ever heard of Operation Red Wings and he had not. I asked if he knew about the “Lone Survivor” and he said yes. I then explained that Matt Axelson was killed on Operation Red Wings and that Matt was in Class 237…
Needless to say… I got a bit WORKED UP and of course I videotaped the whole f*cking thing…
It’ll be a good one… I’ll be posting it soon…
Don
But that wasn’t the end of it;
I spoke with Daniel a second time today when he called to apologize. Daniel explained that he contacted the Colonel and “Retracted” his story, as he put it. Daniel also said that he’d be removing the SEAL claims off his website on Tuesday, but he has his work cut out for him trying to remove the NUMEROUS other horsedick claims of being a SEAL that he’s posted on Veterans, fly fishing and a pile of other websites I found by searching his name…
The part that bothers me the most, being a father of a young Navy SEAL myself, is Daniel’s son being bullshitted by his Mess Specialist father with his outrageous claims of being a Navy SEAL and tall tales of bravado and heroism that never took place. I’m very sure the closest Daniel has ever come to combat was fighting off a hoard of angry Sailors with an egg beater after burning the crews meat loaf.
Daniel has assured me that he has finally told his son the truth about him never being a SEAL. After hearing that I relied “That’s great, can I talk to your son,” and Daniel explained that his son was mad at him and he couldn’t talk right now and it seems that Daniel believes me to be as big a dumbass as he is to buy any of that crap…
Dumber still is Daniel believing I have nothing better to do all day than call imposters asking for a promise that they’ll never claim to be SEALs again and Daniel is in for a big surprise when he finds out that I just don’t let these things go very easy…
I’ll use Daniel as a poster child for phony SEAL claims so that others will understand the plague SEALs and SEAL families suffer at that hands of these Valor Stealing Profiteers who attempt to enrich their lives and better their businesses by slipping and sliding through 70-years of spilled blood and climbing on our backs.
I hope that Daniel’s false claims have not left a bitter taste in the Colonel’s mouth by encountering a Navy clown who would attempt to get “Head of the Line Privileges” by lying to a senior Marine Corps Officer and I can only promise the Colonel that I WILL police the ranks of Navy Dip Sticks like Daniel who can’t even spell check their bullshit…
I also understand that Daniel claims to have invented the Rubik’s Cube and Abacus and I can assure you that he has not…
Yeah, I don’t think that Daniel could pull off convincingly being the inventor of the Q-Tip. But when the video is available, we’ll feature it here.

Another day begins, and away we go with the phony SEALs again; at least this dipstick came up with a BUD/S class number, even if he was never in that class…
“I am a disabled veteran from desert storm, ex seal and proud of what I did for my Country. If it was not for Master Cheif Reyes who started me on fly tying as a way to calm down from missions and tranning.”
That’s from Einstein’s FB page, in case you can’t see it clearly. This is Thursday. The page is still up. I’ll say this for Dembinski: He certainly knows his way around the English language. Way around it. Jeez.
Ah, another lower case seal.
Hope Mrs. Shipley appears in next video. She really SEALs the deal. 🙂
I get a case of the ass whenever a valor thief falsely claims a CIB that I had to earn the hard way. I can only imagine how the men that went through hell to become SEALS feel when someone makes false claims.
Dembinski. No, that’s too easy. Don’t do it–unless it’s really funny.
Someone tell me when people like Dumbasski are going to stop making up stories about themselves and looking stupid when they’re found out.
This kind of thing has probably gone on since humans started picking fights with each other over cropland. And I do not understand why it’s necessary to bump up what you did to get attention.
It’s just sad.
There’s a young man in Division right now that I’m pretty close to. I like to think that I’m something of a mentor to him. Dumbinski (Yes, 2/17, I took the easy one. It’s like a hanging curveball over the plate – you HAVE to hit it.) reminds me of this young man’s father. This guy made a lot of claims – ABN, AASLT, RGR, CIB, the usuals. My friend later found out his dad was chaptered out of Army Basic at FT Jackson.
He was livid to say the least. It’s one thing to run a line of BS at a total stranger, but to do that to your child takes a special kind of low. This young parachute infantryman, a guy with two tours to AFG and hard as old folks toe nails calls me up at 1 AM in tears over what he had just found out about his father. He was utterly destroyed over this.
There’s a special place in Hell for folks like Dumbinski and his ilk. I hope they get there sooner rather than later.
Hmmm. Too bad I won’t be heading up north this weekend. He is only about an hour and a half from me. Website and FB page are STILL up.
“I’m just a lowly, lowly cook.”
Well, you got that part right, fucker. Why does nobody impersonate a cook, storekeeper, or yeoman?
A cook? Make it a good cook and he’ll be the most loved guy in any outfit. What the hell is wrong with being a cook? I’ll answer that: Not a damned thing.
I have actually gone fishing with some of my Navy SEAL friends. Not once did any of them suggest using a fly rig. The methods employed to extract fish were … more unconventional.
This guy is a pussy.
Fly fishing … Geeze!
@MCPO. Did it involve an M67, flashbang or some other explosive/pyrotechnic device?
You and me both bull…right on my way up to the family place too, only a 10 minute detour…
How do you go from Michigan National Guard to disabled SEAL?
These damned things are proliferating like cockroaches, will the SV Tournament end up being a quarterly event?
Bingo, 2/17 Air Cav. If a unit has a bad “Mess Daddy”, that unit is sucking hind t. . . .
Still talking shit on his F/B page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Glass-River-Fly-Rods/169579503187960
Being a cook is not honorable service?? Guess I really AM getting old. Back in the day, keeping the cook happy was one of the most important things you could do. And I will eternally be grateful to one Army cook for feeding me wonderful breakfasts during a particularly difficult deployment.
@17,
Air Force standard…..Don’t piss off…..
1. First Sergeant
2. Chow Hall guys
3. Pay and Finance Folks,
4. TMO and Transportation folks (Your household goods.)
5. Loadmasters AND/or Passenger Service folks (What Bags and seat sir? You’re not on the manifest.)
6. Admin folks (Leave request? Orders? What orders?)
7. Joint inspection/Cargo guys (You load is NOT going on that aircraft. It’s bumped.)
I actually had an Army Officer (Capt or Major I don’t remember) Argue with me that a Patriot Missile Battery would fit on the aircraft cause he was SURE he had seen it before.
After taking a tape measure to the aircraft doorway AND to the 2 stack missile load, I explained that (gently) he was full of shit as it was physically impossible to get the missile batter on to the aircraft with the missile tubes double stacked. Just couldn’t jamb it in there. Not going to happen.
He fumed but couldn’t argue against logic when I stood right there and whoed it to him.
I’m tempted to post on his FB, but I don’t have the right words. I’m making popcorn instead.

/I did have to go get the Chief to “explain it to him”, he wouldn’t take the word of a Ssgt.
I am numbed anymore by these people’s idiocy and others gullibleness that they can convince the masses that they are among the few
When will these liars figure out that they can maintain the story without lying at all? All they need is to make friends with either Dave Grossman or Brad Thor and have THEM tell the lie on their behalf.
If not questioned or caught, teach a seminar for school resource officers (who apparently like to refer to others as “sheep” but will apparently also believe anything taught in a seninar format)
If caught, teach seminars anyway and blame it on others
This approach works for John Giduck, why shouldn’t it work for anyone else?
His FaceBook page is full of people calling him out for lying. It’s funny to think of an actual customer going there and seeing all those posts.
I don’t get how once you are shown to be a fraud and a liar, how you can look anyone in the eye including yourself. I really have trouble trying to figure out what’s going on inside someone’s mind that does something like this.
His website still has the SEAL claim on it too: http://mylighthouseweb.com/glassriver/
@ 22 – I believe that tactic also worked for our “favorite” Monkeyman.
I’m getting VERY tired of these people who think that the way to be successful at something is to overstate what they did when, and if, they actually put time in the service.
I ran into a guy at the Renaissance Faire a few years ago who recycle wood discarded at construction sites. Some of it, as he told me, was maple, some was oak, some was poplar, and all of it could be recycled into other things once the pallets made out of that wood were discarded. So he ‘rescued’ the discards instead of letting them be burned, and started making puzzle toys, alphabets for the wall, chess and checkers sets — just all sorts of things. The last time I saw him, he had some side tables and chests, furniture he’d made from recycled wood, and said he could take orders for kitchen cabinets.
His shop was very popular, because of the stuff that he produced.
When I asked him what got him started on woodworking, he said he was a Vietnam vet and medically retired, and found this kind of work to be great physical therapy. That was all he ever said.
I guess some people live their lives the way they should, and then there’s that percentage that just don’t think it’s enough.
Dumbfuckski!
MCPO NYC USN (Ret.): or perhaps his first cousin, Dumbuttski.
I just spoke to Dan. I told him and helped him find his way to TAH. I instructed him to confess his sins!
He should be here shortly!
Turd.
Well, if he told Don that he’d have the FB page corrected Tuesday (“Daniel also said that he’d be removing the SEAL claims off his website on Tuesday…”), Dano can start here by ‘splainin’ why the “ex seal’ claim is still there today.
He’s corrected his personal Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ddembinski1), but he hasn’t changed his business’s Facebook page or the business web page to remove the claims
I just got the phone with him again. He is in heavy retraction mode.
He is having trouble navigating. Being a better Master Chief than the guy who taught him how to “fly tie” whatever that is, I mentored him in the proper use of blog board!
He says he posted a retraction on Don’s web site and FB.
I said not good enough (no disrespect intended to the good Senior Chief) … must come clean on TAH!
I am the jerk that said he was a seal I am Sorry For telling such a Lie. I did serve in the National Guard, and Navy. I have told my sons and daughter that I lied to them and that I am sorry. Most of all I have I am sorry for hurting the family members of the seals that are serving and have served. I am Sincerely Sorry.
Sincerely.
Daniel Dembinski
I say with great respect to the families of fallen seals I am sorry for what I have done and I will never post or say those things again.
Sincerely
Daniel Dembinski
Dan … you manned up. That is a start.
Now donate all your earnings (gained from your fraud) to the Navy SEAL Foundation: http://www.navysealfoundation.org/
Dembinski? more like Dumbinski.
I have edited the glass river fly rods, and unpublished the whole page. FB said it will be gone in 12-10days. I am working on them and going through them and deleting anything I said or liked military…
AS for the website it will be coming done and it has taken me longer then I said and I am sorry for that. Also thank You Master Chief for instructing me.
Sincerely
Daniel Dembinski
Bullshit. If you unpublished the F/B page. It would be gone !
@ 39 …. Dan … get the job done!
That is all!
@35. Works for me. Now go and sin no more.
Be proud of your service as a cook, nothing wrong with that.
Must concur that this is an excellent first step. Yes, it can take a while for every trace to be removed, so will cut him a tiny, little bit of slack for that one. (We are talking hours, not weeks here.)
Then the real work begins for this guy. Just stop telling lies. Easy enough for most of us, but perhaps not so easy for one who has done it for years/decades.
So, it’s sort of like you are now on probation – keep your nose clean and you can once again proudly join the ranks. But it is entirely up to you and the behavior you choose.
I am a big fisherman and I can tell you I will not be using or promoting any of his products.
As his FB page claims, he wrote he once caught a Black Tip shark with a fly fishing rod – of all things.
Um… no he didn’t.
At least he came clean…
Daniel, I will be checking up on your “shop” the next time I’m camping in Sleepy Hollow State Park. You just don’t know when that might be or what I look like so you’d better be honest to everyone you meet….
@46.
Actually, its possible.
But you need a damn expensive reel to get it done.
I used to catch small Hammerheads and other fish with a flyrod in the islands screwing around at shallow river bottoms, alluviums, culverts, etc.
Instead of flies, I used roaches or small octopus tentacles.
It was fun, useless, but fun.
yes master chief I will go and do what you said. I have already had that in mind I will let you know when I do it.
Sincerely
Daniel Dembinski

Thank you master chief. I will post it here so you can see it. It will during the months of Sept/ Oct. So I can do it. I also look forward to meeting old tanker sometime I hope he will see me not as the jerk I was but the person that is happy for this to be over I wanted to scream load it was causing me such conflict with myself, and losing sleep.

Thank You All
Sincerely
Daniel Dembinski
