Daniel Greenwell – Phony SEAL and Fake PH & BSM

| September 23, 2020

Daniel Greenwell – Facebook

The folks at Military Phony sent us their work on Daniel Austin Greenwell.  Greenwell is from New Harmony, Indiana and is 32 year old at the time of this writing – Sept 2020.

As you can see from the first photo of him, he wears a Navy SEAL Trident on his Navy uniform.  On Greenwell’s Facebook page he says he was in the Navy from 2010.

Daniel Greenwell – Facebook

On one Facebook post of him in uniform, he claims that he is stationed in Coronado, which is well-known as the base that Navy SEALs train and are based out of.

A church site believed to be the church he attends, also highlighted Greenwell’s military service as a US Navy SEAL.

Before proceeding, we felt it was important to display a few pictures of Greenwell.  It will make a difference as we present this case.

Daniel Greenwell – Facebook

His LinkedIn account seems to have gone away, but here are a few screen captures before it was taken down.

Daniel Greenwell – LinkedIn

Greenwell has recently written a book titled “Monsters.”  In the book’s author biography, Greenwell makes many claims.  However, the photo does not appear to be him – even when compared with the above younger photos of him in the Navy.

Daniel Greenwell – Smashwords Biography

SOURCE: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Dagreenwell

The range of claims in the biography are that:

  • Greenwell is a combat veteran
  • He served in “many different conflicts from Afghanistan to Iraq to other places he can never tell you about, he has been around the block”
  • Greenwell was a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman serving with First Marine Reconnaissance to being at MARSOC as a “Raider”
  • Awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart in 2015 for actions he took during the “Second Battle of Sangin” in 2014

To see if there are any more claims inside the book, you’d have to shell out $999.99.  It is however, advertised as a work of fiction with the main character being named Michael Daniels.

The BUD/S-SEAL database was checked and “Daniel Austin Greenwell” or any variation of that name was not found listed.  His official military records were ordered from the Department of the Navy through a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request.

For added measure, the DoD Manpower Data Center database / SCRA was also checked.

DoD Manpower Data Center Results – Daniel Greenwell

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the photo in Greenwell’s biography on Smashword’s appear to be of a legitimate Navy Hospital Corpsman Silver Star recipient:

https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/604346/face-of-defense-corpsman-awarded-silver-star-medal/

. . . . .

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY

There is no record of Daniel Greenwell attending BUD/S-SEAL training and no record of him serving with a SEAL Team.

Greenwell’s official military records do not show that he was awarded a Combat Action Ribbon, or a Purple Heart, or a Bronze Star Medal.

There is no sea duty listed on his DD-214, nor is there a Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.  These awards would be present if he deployed to a war zone overseas.  In addition, Greenwell has a GWOT Service Medal vs. a GWOT Expeditionary Medal.  The former (Service Medal) if he was on active duty during the Global War on Terror and the latter (Expeditionary Medal) if he was deployed while on duty during the Global War on Terror.  This underscores the fact that he was not deployed.

Not sure what to make of his claims of being on active duty starting in 2010, it could represent a delayed entry claim.

If Greenwell has used these claims to gain anything of value – especially the combat and Purple Heart claims – to gain anything of value, he may be in violation of the Stolen Valor Act. State laws may also apply – Indiana has its own law on Stolen Valor.

Daniel Greenwell – Facebook

Looks like ol’ Danny boi has some splainin’ to do.  He also seems to have borrowed a bit of the story from the legitimate hero and Silver Star recipient but apparently downgraded the medal to a Bronze Star, so there’s that.

Wonder if anyone from his Church, the First United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon, Indiana, is gonna say anything about his claim of being a SEAL.

So sad. For his Church. Not sad for him.

😔

sbalm

Good find!

ninja

This is so sad…again, for his Church.

Not him.

ninja

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”

Ok.

We are not suppose to judge.

But how does one explain to his Church about his embellishment?

And always, the main question is “Why?”

🤔

Hondo

Why? Simple, ninja.

The guy wrote a book. He’s trying to cash in. Being a badass “hero” is better PR than being a 5-year E3 who never served in combat.

When something of value can be obtained by fraud, sooner or later someone will try to do exactly that. And it’s generally best to bet on “sooner” vice “later”.

ninja

As Dave pointed out, $999.99 for his book courtesy of Barnes and Noble:

https://m.barnesandnoble.com/w/monsters-daniel-greenwell/1137119987

Gee Whiz.

Go Big or Go Home.

Marketing technique…always 99 cents or $9.99 or $99.99.

He knew if he asked for $1000, that his book most likely would not sell (tongue in cheek).

A Village Is Missing An Idiot.

🤔

David

I have a first edition of Teddy Roosevelt’s autobiography, and doubt IT is worth $999.99.

From MP site in comments section:

“I have seen this high price before on other books. It is usually for a book out of print or in this case, not in print. In other words, it is not worth it to do a mass production based on predicted sales or non-sales. They will do a “one off” but you pay through the nose for it. Just my speculation.”

Ex-PH2

I left a comment about the cash amount over on MP. Ever wonder what his sales come to so far?

I’m willing to be nothing – pun intended.

MarineDad61

sbalm,
Where there’s a Church,
there’s often a Church FaceBook, a ChurchBook.
In this case, a ChurchBook public page.
Hmmmm….
Small town, small church.
This isn’t going to go over well,
in Mount Harmony, or New Vernon.

ninja,
When the truth bomb drops into the rectory and pews,
the initial church response will be telling.
Believe it or not,
not every church responds the same way
(to the truth).

Which comedian made a punch line out of this line???
“If lovin’ the Lord is bad…
I don’t wanna be good.”

ninja

MarineDad61:

This may not turn out to be pretty, especially in a small Hometown.

Still So Sad. For His Church. Not for him.

Ex Coelis

Q: Which comedian made a punch line out of this line???
“If lovin’ the Lord is bad…

A: Arsenio Hall as Reverend Brown in 1999’s Eddy Murphy movie ‘Coming to America’.

Daniel Greenwell of New Harmony, Indiana has some f**king splanin to do.
Daniel ‘Danger’ Greenwell what say you?
Daniel Greenwell wrote a book?
Daniel Greenwell how much is lies?!
Daniel Greenwell was Corpsman, but didn’t deploy.
Daniel A Greenwell took a dump on his service.

E4 Mafia '83-'87

What a tool. I know an active duty corpsman that does a live stream once a week. It’s a tight community, so I ask he knows of him or anybody that does.

Hondo

One thing I found interesting on his DD214.

His DD214 says he was RELACDU as an E3. His DD214 also lists his effective DOR as 19 Jun 2012. That also happens to be the date on which he entered active duty.

If he’d achieved a higher paygrade and later got reduced during his 5 years on active duty, his effective DOR for E3 would be much later than his active duty entry date.

I’m pretty sure that means he came in as an E3 – and spent his entire 5 years on active duty at that same paygrade.

A “fast burner”, indeed.

Skippy

High Drag

Jay

Considering he also earned a Naval Achievement Medal, one has to wonder if he stepped on his dick at one point in time. But as you stated, his DOR is the same date of entry. Interesting.

Looking at his pics, you have to wonder if he couldn’t quite pass a PFT….

Berliner

More like No Speed/All Drag.

We had an armorer at Ft Campbell (1/506 Inf) like that. He complained of having to use a cane to get around (P3 profile) prevented him from being promoted. He was known to toss his cane in the back of his truck at the end of the day and roller skate the night away every Friday. Skates in truck + 1SG observed him skating.

Green Thumb

I knew some dudes like that.

Limp around the barracks until 2100 and then haul ass out the back door to beat cover charge at the club. Then they would kick it all night.

Sober up a bit (if they could), haul ass back to post and get in the Company through the back door. Grab the crutches and look sad and in pain before first call. Especially if a 10% is going down. Then maybe collapse and work your injury to the max.

Repeat.

That was the old running joke: “Why do BDU blouses have pockets?” I mean, you are not authorized to use them.

Answer: ” To hold your profile!”.

PSG: “PFC Jones, secure that mop!”

PFC Jones: “Ba’am, check out this profile!”

PSG: God Damn that was fast!”

PFC Jones: “You ain’t seen nothing yet. Watch how fast I can get IG on speed dial!”

Derek

I was at Campbell myself and we had an E4 medic named Shoptaw that used to walk with a cane but would be seen doing other things as well! Wonder if it’s the same kid we are talking about…

Hack Stone

Sounds like Hack Stone’s room mate when he checked in at Electronics Maintenance Company 2nd Maintenance Battalion.

Hack Stone: Are you going to change for PT?

Room Mate: I’m on light duty, I don’t PT.

Next day, Room Mate is changing into PT gear.

Hack Stone: Where are you going?

Room Mate: I’m on the softball team at Tony’s Brown Bag.

Hack Stone

So this guy was the inspiration for the term ‘Skater”?

Ex-PH2

Naw, he’s too young for that. It goes back before the Monitor was sunk.

Anonymous

Yup, once again…

Claw

Another thing(s) I found interesting on his DD214:

It says NAVY ACHIEVEMENT MDL. All the other Navy DD214’s I’ve seen have said: NAVY AND MARINE CORPS ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL. (Spelled out, not abbreviated)

As far as the Good Conduct Medal listed, isn’t there supposed to be a period of inclusive time annotated? (Help me out, Navy admin types)

Not trying to say this isn’t a clean copy direct from the NPRC, but just noting a couple of things had not seen before.

Not on mine, but I’m an old fart.

Greenwell never learned his lession the first time, so when he stumbled drunk out of a Tijuana bar wrestling with his cheap newly-acquired buzz – from then on it was known as the “Second Battle of Sangria.”

Daisy Cutter

AAAAaaaad it appears Greenwell has now taken down the Smashwords profile.

https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Dagreenwell

Sure sign of guilt. Otherwise, a true warrior would make a stand and fight.

He must see what’s coming…

Daisy Cutter,
Also, his old FakeBook page (link above) went poof.
More,
2 comments about Greenwell are already on his CHURCH’s ChurchBook page.
This doesn’t end well for Danny Boy.

Oh, no…

Again, for his Church.

Thank You for the updates, MarineDad61.

MarineDad61

ninja,
The church just replied… on their FaceBook page.
[[First United Methodist Church, Mount Vernon, IN] –
A private message about this matter would have been more appropriate.]

Based on the comments and links provided,
the church did NOT take down the Daniel Greenwell page.

Daisy Cutter

Which would have allowed them to quietly sweep it under the rug.

Another code phrase is they “would have liked to handle it internally” which essentially means the same thing – sweep it under the rug.

Cover up their own indiscretions and keep it from the public and most likely the congregation as well.

They removed all posts related to this on their church site.

That’s why you have to sometimes post it under “Reviews” since they can’t delete that. Make sure it is related to the business or organization – i.e. “I’m sure it is a nice church/business, but I also think folks that are considering membership have a right to know who they fellowship with, buy things from, yadda yadda. They were given an opportunity to correct this but all they did was admonish me over the process I chose, and not address the subject at hand, etc.”

I don’t know what was said so this could be something they take seriously and are looking into it, but it doesn’t sound like it from the experiences you outlined.

MarineDad61

Daisy Cutter,
Well, the church just turned
phucknut phony enabler,
and put the word SEAL back onto the website tribute page.
Long comment at the bottom.
Perhaps this church needs some more
FakeBook love.. and/or advice.
Ugh !!

The Stranger

Yep. He sees them “Long Hard Times to Come.” Just finished watching “Justified”, this is the theme song and it seems appropriate:

Yes, that’s some bluegrass-rap!

The lion is not amused.🦁😒

Ex-PH2

Well, I did check Amazon to see if his book is listed there and it is not. The purchase price he has on it on Smashwords is nearly $1,000, which is exorbitant for anything unless it’s a first edition Charles Dickens or something like that. That could be a typo, however.

People like this inspire me to greater heights than theirs. I keep getting “royalty payment” notices from Amazon.

You’ll have to excuse me for a bit. My SEAL Team is annoyed that I’m neglecting them to smack this guy on the back of his head.

STOP FABRICATING STUFF, DANNY BOY!

Claw

Too much De Ja Vu all over again for me. He seems to be a follower of the Bernath Fake Picture Club. Added him to the Valor Vultures Tote Board just in the nick of time.

At least Bernath had the wherewithal to put his own face over the photo of the other dude.

Repeating a comment I posted above, although it was nested in another thread:

From MP site in comments section:

“I have seen this high price before on other books. It is usually for a book out of print or in this case, not in print. In other words, it is not worth it to do a mass production based on predicted sales or non-sales. They will do a “one off” but you pay through the nose for it. Just my speculation.”

Jay

Considering his book came out in MAY and I can’t find a review for it anywhere….did anyone actually READ it?

I mean hell, I wrote a book last year and got depressed when it only sold like 100 copies. But wow, I can’t find shit ANYWHERE on “Monsters”

Daisy Cutter

It says that you can purchase the book for a NOOK reader.

I didn’t know you could read a book on a NOOK.

Anyone here care to admit you have a NOOK reader?

ninja

Barnes and Noble tried to get me to sign up for a NOOK Reader.

I said “No Thank You”.

I still enjoy holding a book made of paper in my hand.

If my local library does not have the book that I want to read, then I may be tempted to purchase the book at the Store or on Line.

Ex-PH2

I think Amazon does a better job. You don’t have to have a Kindle reader to get a Kindle book. You can upload Kindle reader software to your computer and read that way. No charge for the software and a gazillion books become available to you at a modest cost.

Ex-PH2

If you click on the link to his book at MilPhony, it will open up with a Nook assist reading view.

If you can wade through the first few paragraphs without getting a headache, please let me know. It is badly in need of an editor with a full box of sharpened No.2 pencils.

ninja

“If Greenwell has used these claims to gain anything of value – especially the combat and Purple Heart claims – to gain anything of value, he may be in violation of the Stolen Valor Act. State laws may also apply – Indiana has its own law on Stolen Valor.”

So if his Book fails to sell ($999.99), does this mean he legally is not in violation of the Stolen Valor Act?

Ex-PH2

IF it’s designated as fiction, there’s no SV involved. It’s just a story.

If he claims it’s all true, and it happened on his watch, it is nonfiction and that makes it SV. And he’d have to prove that he did those things, or redesignate it as fiction.smick57668

Daisy Cutter

He’s using the fake bio to promote the book. I would think this is in violation of Stolen Valor.

ninja

Thank You, Ex and DC for this information.

Sometimes I just don’t get it with embellishers or phonies in the Internet age.

What is SADDER are reading Obituaries on folks claiming Vietnam POW status, being recipients of the DSC, Purple Heart, being a Green Beret, claiming RANGER/Airborne/Air Assault, Pathfinde, Fill in the Blank tabs, only for the Family to discover their deceased love ones told a lie when the Family tries to collect benefits.

They created a facade while they were alive.

As with this Dude.

Ex-PH2

DC, no argument from me on that if he’s using his service to promote it.

But geezo Pete, people, how hard is it to just make stuff up and label it what it is – fiction? Then you have all those possibilities of sequels down the road. Isaac Asimov did that as Paul Ffrench with his “Lucky Starr” series for kids, and Katherine Kerr did the same thing with her historical stories of Deverry, never mind the mystery novels she wrote. And let’s not forget the entire Mike Hammer thing, Perry Mason, and of course, Harry Potter and Tolkien’s entire world of Hobbits and Dwarves and greedy dragons in “Lord of the Rings”.

It’s perfectly valid to make up a story and turn it into something successful. No need to make up nonsense about yourself. I have doubts that he has enough self-confidence to present what he wrote on its own merits, and that’s why he cooked up a career full of adventures that never happened to him.

What a dweebette.

Mason

Is it easier to sell one shitty book for $1000 or 1000 shitty books for $1?

Hack Stone

If you ask Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, she will tell you it is easier to 1000 copies.

Daniel Austin Greenwell: you is azzhole. Having served with 1st Recon in Vietnam, I can say that you disgust me and you have dishonored all of us 8404s in general. That you stole Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Kevin D. Baskin’s honor is truly despicable. Rot in hell, you putrid turd.

I like it the comments.

We need more of it.

5th/77th FA

Ditto…Word…This!

BZ to aGrimm for being the FIRST to use the full name of the lying, embellishing piece of sh^t Phony Seal Daniel Austin Greenwell! #sayhisname…#danielaustingreenwell… #phonynavyseal The more times that the name of the embellishing phony never was a Navy SEAL Daniel Austin Greenwell, the more GOOGLE FAMOUS the liar Daniel Austin Greenwell will become.

I FIRST saw this on evening past and was the FIRST to welcome the liar fake wanna be Navy SEAL Daniel Austin Greenwell to his upcoming Google Fame, courtesy of the Troops of TAH/VG. Hope you enjoy it, Bitch!

I am surprised that I will be the FIRST to call for a discussion and/or a motion on the deployment of the Hemisphere of Insults, The Toilet Bowl of Taunts, and/or the Alphabet Assault. As a Service Member that at least did serve, albeit, doing just enough to get by, he should realize that he is standing in the Blood and on the Bodies of Service Members way yonder better than he will ever be.

The dorky turned around cap, the meat gazing/receiving grin, and for just all around general principles should be justification enough.

Can I get a SECOND and an AYE?

The Stranger

SEGUNDO!

ChipNASA

Happy Friday fuckers.
I’m here and about a day and a half behind but I wanted to giv this turs a proper perusal because, yes, as assumed, I thought it may be possible the HoI would be brought up and POW, here we are.
OK we have a request for the HoI by 5th/77th FA (as usual and there’s nothing wrong with that.) and then we have a “segundo” by The Stranger so, as usual with the TAH Roberts Rules, I put it out there, do we have an “AYE” vote going forward for a proper deployment? (…goes off and begins preparations because you turds almost never disappoint..)
In addition, other than the First United Methodist Church, Mount Vernon, IN, I don’t believe there’s any other public or media concerns about this going forward (See HoI disclaimer when deployed), so, yes, I believe we’re a “GO”, when we get the proper votey…
Oh and as usual, if I’m needed in another thread I haven’t seen, give me a poke in this or another newer thread…Thanks
Chip

ChipNASA

Based on this and a re-comment in the Coast Guard Unicorn thread on the 29th, I’m semi-refreshing this thread to the front page to remind folks that Señor 5th/77th FA has posted the request for the Hoi for Dan here and we have The Stranger’s “SEGUNDO” and we have a couple of other comments posted after but are in response to aGrimm’s original post, so technically they are not considered an “AYE” vote, so at this time I’m refreshing to allow for such to be posted, hopefully soon as this has been marinating since Friday and now it’s Tuesday.
Thanks for your consideration.

I think you mean “AYE”?

The Hemisphere of Insults®™

Disclaimer:

I don’t think that Dan Greenwell is going to garner any public media attention as the Foley and Jowers case and
I also agree this douche canoe needs the full load.
As with other deployments of the The Hemisphere of Insults®™ , I’ll stand by for 1. The appropriate Roberts Rules here at TAH to vote on it (Done) and 2. A momentary review and consideration that this individual and their posting is generally not going to generate any undue influence or attract attention from local, regional or national media organizations, so as to not impede any further investigation into his behavior and distracting from linking to MP or TAH by a due deployment of said and glorious, The Hemisphere of Insults®™

(Please excuse me but I’ll keep posting this disclaimer just because there may be some that don’t realize what was going on in previous threads and/or behind the scenes because of the previous deployment of the The Hemisphere of Insults®™ , this is just a reminder)
1. This is from a Dave post and I don’t want to stir shit when he had to edit one of the last ones because…
2. Sometimes, TAH and MP attract outside attention from the local/regional and sometimes, national media. In one of the previous threads, the Foley and Jowers case, it attracted media attention and they were very hesitant to link or mention TAH, because of the deployment of the The Hemisphere of Insults®™ . I don’t want to hamper legitimate investigations or mentions or using TAH as a resource in reporting Stolen Valor to the public because to the outside world, the The Hemisphere of Insults®™ can be somewhat off-putting (to say the least, of which I am quite proud.)
Also I have to remember to reference “Sarge” and request the Staff Summary Sheet of Shame

In addition, Greenwell has a GWOT Service Medal vs. a GWOT Expeditionary Medal. The former (Service Medal) if he was on active duty during the Global War on Terror and the latter (Expeditionary Medal) if he was deployed while on duty during the Global War on Terror. This underscores the fact that he was not deployed.

I’m going to quibble slightly with that. I retired at the end of 2005 but when I demobilized from my last deployment, everyone in my unit got the GWOTSM as well as the GWOTEM. I even got into an argument with the E-3 records clerk at the demobe station about that because if you read the description of the two awards, they were supposed to be (as you stated above) an either/or award:

IOW, you either deployed “in theater” and got the GWOTEM (expeditionary medal) OR you stayed outside the theater of war (which could include overseas assignments, just not in the Middle East or Afghanistan) and got the GWOTSM (service medal.)

However, by the time we demobilized, there was some kind of letter issued to the effect that every swingin’ Richard who served so much as a day of active duty after 9/11/01 got the GWOTSM, even if they also qualified for the GWOTEM.

Now, I don’t know if that was a “local letter” or something made up by the installation commander (this would have been Fort Carson, CO FWIW) but I can tell you that every soldier in my unit was awarded the GWOTSM even though we ALSO qualified for the GWOTEM as a result of our deployment to Kuwait in 2004. And I’m guessing we weren’t the only ones.

My point being that the award of the GWOTSM doesn’t mean somebody DIDN’T deploy, even though I think that’s how it was originally envisioned.

I don’t know how it is now, but by the time I demobed in 2004 the GWOTSM was, in essence, a 2nd NDSM, something that everybody got just for being there.

Mason

The GWOTSM was supposed to be for people who “deployed” stateside. National Guardsmen who worked airport security for that year after 9/11 for example. It covered anything done “in support” of the war on terror. I think it was 2004 that it was given to everyone who’d done AD time after 9/11.

I know for at least a time that it was an automatic award. I don’t know if they’re still doing that. There was a post-training time in service requirement of something like 30 or 90 days.

USAFRetired

My understanding was first the GWOTEM was established before either the Afghanistan and Iraq Campaign Medals. Once they were established you couldn’t get both for the same deployment.

If he had deployed OCONUS he would have gotten either a GWOTEM or a campaign medal. The GWOTSM was for non-deployers and folks already OCONUS EUCOM/PACOM that supported missions from home drome.

I qualified for the GWOTEM for deploying/flying in support of OEF in 2002. I qualified for the ICM in 2003 for deploying/flying in support of OIF, went home and deployed/flew again in support of OEF. From memory I ended up with 5 months CZTE in 2002 and 7 months CZTE in 2003.

As I told the Wing king at a flying safety meeting once, “I don’t know the difference between a mercenary and a prostitute, but I think I am one.”

Uniform question for Navy folks: Regarding the photo at the top of this article, is this the current duty uniform?

In my time in the Army we occasionally trained on Navy installations and back then if you saw a sailor in Khaki’s you knew he was either an officer or a CPO. E-6 and below either wore an all-black uniform or an all white uniform but never khakis. So does everyone wear khakis now?

Daisy Cutter

Yeah, from a distance it almost looks like Marine Charlies.

I don’t like the confusion factor. Not to mention undercutting the distinction in some uniforms.

Mason

Concur that it looks like a USMC uniform. If he’s a corpsman serving with the FMF, then he can wear a USMC uniform (with USN insignia) provided he meets the USMC weight and grooming standards.

Ex-PH2

A while ago, the recruits wore what they called “peanut butters” which were khaki shirts and black pants during the last two weeks of RTC. I don’t think they’re doing that now, but Greenwell could have been one of those recruits and somehow, still had his peanut butters in his possession, even if that was all supposed to be returned to RTC for the next bunch. The History of Assignments sheet says he was there in 2012, which would be the right time frame for it.

Or he could have just gone to a surplus store and bought the stuff.

Combat Historian

Navy enlisteds below CPO now wear the tan shirt and black bottoms, with black side cap, versus the traditional Marine uniform of tan shirt, Marine green bottom, and green side cap/service cap. From a distance, the two uniforms definitely may be confused with each other…

Ex-PH2

We used to call those hats ‘garrison caps’.

Why do things have to change when there’s no need for it?

Daisy Cutter

Marines called them “piss cutters.”

Ex-PH2

Some things never change.

Combat Historian

In the Army Infantry, we used to call them “c*nt caps”; it was not a nice term, but we were manly profane men. I’m sure that term has now vanished from the military lexicon…

Daisy Cutter

“manly” or “mainly”?

“manly man” as opposed to “girly man”?

I recall many items that probably didn’t last over the years.

A flexible fuel spout was called a donkey dick.

A rubber inflatable mattress was called an inflatable bitch.

If you were ever around a bulk fuel unit, the couplings were male and female but they were referred to as a dick and a pu$$y. You have not lived until you are around the Marines setting up the bladder and hoses. Often, you will hear them yelling “I need a dick, anybody got a dick?” or “I need a pu$$y. I need one real bad. Old or new, doesn’t matter. I’m desperate.”

Ex-PH2

That’s when you send those twinkie boys a furry little kitten that will fit in the upper left pocket on the shirt, and take a nap.

Green Thumb

I hated those things.

But they were a lot more comfortable than Shinsheki’s and “Bend Over” Tilley’s beret.

Now, with the new WW2-style uniform, they’re back! No more ghey beret!

Yeah, but GIRLS are wearing service caps (saucer cap; peaked cap)! It just looks dumb on a girl.

rgr769

Yes, really dumb. But apparently DOD buttwipes in the five sided puzzle palace have decreed that males and females are interchangeable and therefore, their uniforms and accoutrements must be identical. What insane bullshit will we see next, issuing the females a strap-on so they can have a penis too?

Green Thumb

I thought those were standard, across the board, issue in the Navy.

thebesig

The former (Service Medal) if he was on active duty during the Global War on Terror and the latter (Expeditionary Medal) if he was deployed while on duty during the Global War on Terror.

I remember bringing this up on active duty. I have both, the GWOT Expeditionary Medal for OIF 1, and the GWOT Service Medal for serving in a unit that was providing support to units deployed to GWOT EM regions. This is the purpose of the service medal, those who weren’t in that capacity didn’t rate the GWOT SM.

They were issuing this in the Army for a while, then they stopped. The National Defense Service Medal served the function that many claimed the GWOT SM served, and thus the former would be awarding the service member twice for the same thing.

Daniel Greenwell, Phony Navy SEAL, may have served in one or a combination of units that was providing support for units engaged in GWOT areas in the world. He could have simply been proud of this fact, as well as the fact that he had a National Defense Service Medal.

Additionally, many fleet Sailors envied where he was stationed.

I suspect that he didn’t always exercise the best judgment, socially and administratively “suffered” the consequences of his poor decisions, then decided that it would be better being a civilian… Just to continue to engage in poor judgments that resulted in him “socially” suffering at his work.

Now, building a track record of “ho hum” work attempts, he’s “padding” his history with his doing high speed low drag stuff. Presto, “the military jacked me up, so I couldn’t hack it in the real world”.

Looking at his Linkedin: He’s a “self employed” Navy Corpsman. He is soon to be a “published author” with a book about to drop on “may” vice “May”. His writing, in “Smashwords” is atrocious. His book looks like its selling for almost a thousand dollars, and one person sees him as a favorite author. Hmmm, I wonder who that person could be? 🙄

Brucie’s Bath House (entrance in rear) had to fire him for giving services and products away.

Hogwash. If you can wade through the first half of page one, you’ll find that his writing skills are lower than Beetle Bailey’s reports to the Sarge.

If you look at the DD up above, you will see that he has 5 years of full-time service and never made it past HN (E-3).

I have some doubts about his medical skill set, too, but they are irrelevant.

Greenweenie Greenwell must think the average military person reading his FakeBook page is a total moron. I never served in the Navy, but I had two budwieser wearing SEALs in my platoon at Ranger School, and they weren’t E-3’s. I also attended ski training one winter in Maine and an East Coast SEAL unit was doing the training with us. None of them were E-3’s either. So, I seriously doubt there are any E-3 fully qualified Navy SEALs, except for the ones who have been busted by NJP.

CHURCH UPDATE.
Oh oh…..
The church that was shown and mentioned on the MP page,
the church that shows a Daniel Greenwell – Navy SEAL tribute page,
received a notification comment on their public FaceBook page earlier today.

The church recently replied this evening…..
[A private message about this matter would have been more appropriate.]

The church received a reply comment, detailing this VG page,
and that that there are now 2 public Stolen Valor sites
outing Daniel Greenwell,
and that now is not the time for secrecy,
but correcting Daniel Greenwell,
and the church webpage.

The church has now DELETED all the comments on the Sept 10 post.
Based on the comments and links provided,
the church did NOT take down the Daniel Greenwell page.

Watching……. to see how long it takes
for the church to take down the
phony Daniel Greenwell Navy SEAL tribute page.
Ugh.

The phony Navy SEAL tribute page is indexed here.
Look in the 3rd row for the same pointy head
as the featured photo on this page.

Daisy Cutter

They altered the church website and removed “SEAL” but left his photo and “US Navy” beside his name.

However, the photo clearly shows him with a US Navy SEAL Trident on his uniform. I guess they figured that was good enough.

Daisy Cutter

I wonder how far they will go. Maybe they will black out the Trident next time or crop the photo to exclude it?

MarineDad61

Daisy Cutter,
Got it. Thanks.
They did something… half way done.
IF the church doesn’t know what that shiny golden pointy thing on the uniform is….
Hopefully, the church will see THIS blog…
and will soon know to CROP that fake unearned Navy SEAL trident out of that phony photo.

Daisy Cutter

They may view this all as a distraction, but if they chose to honor veterans then they should ensure accuracy and integrity – or not do it at all.

MarineDad61

Daisy Cutter,
I agree.
Library of Congress makes this mistake,
with the “Veterans History Project.”
Plenty of PHONIES with interviews full of bullshit.

(Note – A nationally known SEAL buster located 30 Navy SEAL video at the Veterans History Project,
and 10 of the 30 are PHONIES.
These are Phony SEAL bullshitters who traveled to be interviewed, for (phony) posterity.)

Ugh.

Combat Historian

Wonder if there are any Library of Congress Veterans History Project interviews where the “veteran” claimed he won the Medal of Honor while serving as a space shuttle door gunner…

Daisy Cutter

Actually, when I said “I wonder how far they will go. Maybe they will black out the Trident next time or crop the photo to exclude it?” I was being facetious and borderline sarcastic.

It would be similar to posting a photo on their church site of a naked female but crop out everything but her face. It is a question of ethics – would it still be acceptable to crop out the SEAL Trident and still post the photo? I don’t know, but it strikes me as a cheap quick fix to move past the issue at hand – that he lied.

10 exam cycles.

That’s a shitload of PNA points, and he’s STILL too stupid to make HM3.

Ex-PH2

Maybe you can ‘splain something to me, Sparky, because I’m kind of mystified by this person’s lack of advancement on a timely basis.
I went to “A” school right out of boot camp, as an E-3. Got through that school, went off to work at NPC, got a notice from my Division Officer that I had to wear dress blues the next day, including my hat and gloves, because I was getting my 3rd class crow. That was a few months after the end of the first year for me. Then I took the 2nd class tests (military & rate tests), was told I was PNA (passed, had to wait to advance) and this was 6 months into my 2nd year. So when I finally got the notice that I’d gotten my next pay grade/rating, I had to extend my original enlistment by 6 months to get the promotion, which meant a raise in pay, so I agreed to that. Put on my 2nd Class crow and went on about my business.

Now how come it wasn’t all that hard for me (and others like me) to get the next step up within a short time, and this peculiar example of what a sailor should not be couldn’t get past HN/E3 in even two years?

Would it be he was unable to pass the tests? Just askin’, because graduating “A” school USED to mean you got 3rd class when you had enough time in rate. I can see not making E-5/2nd class quite so quickly, but that was a matter of studying, on-the-job stuff. taking the tests, and not goofing off.

Just tryin’ to understand how anyone can be as inept as this individual seems to be. That’s all.

Hondo

Can’t speak for the Navy, Ex-PH2. But in the Army, not being able to pass a PFT or make weight pretty much guaranteed an individual wouldn’t be promoted.

Of course, if done repeatedly it could also get one thrown out administratively.

Jay brought up the former possibility (not quite passing a PFT) above. The weight issue is another potential answer IMO.

MCPO USN

What is weird is that he graduated Field Medical Tech school-8404, so he wasn’t totally brain damaged, but couldn’t make HM3. Must have had fat boy issues or bad evals to keep from testing.

NHSparky

3 consecutive failures of PRT or the rope ‘n choke would get you shown the door.

My guess (JMO) is that he was what was affectionately referred to as a, “rock with lips.”

Ex–not every A school has an E-4 guarantee, and some rates are basically impossible to make rate in these days. Because of STAR babies who automatically got E-5 for reenlisting after prototype or as soon as they hit their first sea command, meant making E-5 off the test for nukes who didn’t reenlist could pretty tough. I admit, it took me 3 tries to make ET2. But it made making E-6 almost a cakewalk and made it first time up.

Now? Submarine and surface nuke advancement to E-6 is about 10-15 percent.

Ex-PH2

Yeah, I’m thinking he took the tests and failed and/or possibly committed a major screw up somehow that made his advancement doubtful.

Just wondered about that. Thanks.

This dirtbag has the talent and Phildo et al. have the tools….

Well, they do say that confession is good for the soul.

Let’s give it a bit more time to find out if Daniel Greenwell will admit that he made stuff up to sell a book that seems to be semi-autobiographical, which is a REALLY, REALLY BAD idea.

The 15th picture belongs to a Jeff Greenwell:

According to this site for Jeffrey D. Greenwell:

You Be The Judge.

http://www.spectrumfinancialgroup.com/Jeffrey-D–Greenwell.e948627.htm

“Jeff’s 24 years of Naval Service is indicative to his commitment to service to his community and nation.”

“Jeff and *** have been married for 41 years and they have two children *** and Daniel. …Daniel is a Navy veteran and video game designer.”

“The Greenwell’s are members of First United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon.”

“Jeff is a member of American Legion, Post 5 and Southwestern Indiana Chamber of Commerce.”

Hmmm, wondering if Daniel (who is a video game designer?) is also the churches web site administrator?

Seems like Pappy needs to take somebody out behind the woodshed for a little wall to wall counseling.

In the meantime, the NDSM Eagle weeps.

Hello,

I’ve been assigned a case opened by EMSA in response to your 09/24/20 email about Daniel Austin Greenwell. I’ve reviewed the email and website regarding the stolen valor issues that include his paramedic claim. Because the Linkedin site he used for this claim is now deleted and he is likely out of state (Indiana), my guess is we will likely send a cease and desist letter to Greenwell to prevent further claims. This will ultimately be up to our legal unit, however. I wanted to email you so you know we received this and are looking into the matter.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and thank you for your service to our country.

Since the FUMC-MV has chosen to ignore my previous email to them and chosen to circle the wagons, I have sent another email to the leadership of the Indiana UMC State Conference.

Who knows, maybe the Bishop and the District won’t like a church abetting a proven military poser. We’ll see……

HMC(FMF)Ret_87-10,
It’s clear that whoever is handling the
church website AND FakeBook page
is a PHONY ENABLER.

Some felt sympathy for this church, at first.
Not anymore.
Not from me.

Forgot to mention that I also included the Risk Management Officer for the Indiana Conference in my latest email….a 25 yr. retired FBI agent.

I went to Corps School with this guy in 2012. I remember that this is exactly how he was back then too. He always seemed to have a few too many wild stories to tell; he was supposedly a renowned football player at Indiana State University (Dan the Pain Train), cast as the Green Ranger in some unspecified Power Rangers TV show (google that, you’ll find he was a compulsive liar all the way back in 2008), and according to him he HAD a BUD/S billet at boot camp, but the Navy took it away because the school supposedly had given too many billets out. I even tried to get him to try out for SARC since he could at Corps School, but he was always dismissive for some reason or another.
I’m ashamed to say that I bought into a couple of these stories (he’s a compulsive liar, but he could be convincing and I was SUPER naive at the time), but seeing all of this now, I’m not surprised in the slightest.

I kept track of many of my classmates through my time in the Navy and looked for familiar names on advancement lists. I never seemed to find his name on there; I guess now I know why.

MarineDad61

HM-PA,
Thanks for sharing.
The CHURCH (links above) should certainly hear your story.
Because, at this point,
the church is actively playing phony enabler.
Good luck.

UPDATE –

The CHURCH claims……
that Daniel Greenwell showed a DD-214
which proves his Navy SEAL claim.

Will the CHURCH do the right thing,
and do the simple and quick check with Don,
to get the truth, once and for all?
Or, will the church continue to hide
beneath the cloak of assumption and belief??

Ugh.

OWB

Has anyone at the church asked him to prove that what he showed them is authentic? Hmmm??

Silly people. Did they take the pastor’s word for it that he or she was ordained, or did they require independent verification from another source? Yeah, that’s what most anyone would think.

So, in answer to your question – no, the church isn’t going to just do the right thing until they are made to do so by higher authority. And eventually they will be asked.

2 UPDATES on Phony Navy SEAL Daniel Greenwell

UPDATE 2 (of 2).
(For all, with a message for
Military Phony website admins)

The church person behind the church website
(and the church FakeBook page)
asked me to convey the following, so it may be seen.
So, here it is…….

(FaceBook PM copy/paste from
First United Methodist Church, Mount Vernon, IN )
[I have completed my own investigation into this by contacting NSWC directly.
They have no record of Daniel Greenwell ever attending a BUD/S class training.
His photograph has been removed from our veterans slideshow.
I don’t know if you have the means of conveying a message
to the people at militaryphony.com,
but if you do, please pass this along.

Regarding my church,
the matter of Daniel Greenwell could have, and should have,
been handled better from the start.
I should not have been on the receiving end of bulling and intimidation from some of the people associated with militaryphony.com.
Instead of being offered assistance, we were given demands.
Instead of offering guidance, threats were made.
My church was lied to.
Yet, some of the associates of this website treated us like we were the liars.
Those who wish to defend honor should behave honorably.
In regard to dealing with my church,
the people who attacked us failed utterly to do so.
We were never your enemy.
But we were treated like one.
That is forever disappointing.

Well…finally a more definitive result! Maybe all the “bulling (sic) and intimidation” convinced the flock to pull their heads out of the sand.

Thank You, MarineDad61 for riding this mule until it was broke.
