Emmit Stone Adams; phony SEAL
Our partners at Military Phonies share their work on Emmit Stone Adams, who claims to be a Navy SEAL, wounded in combat four times (four Purple Hearts), claiming at least 2 Combat Action Ribbons, and service in Vietnam, well, judging by this picture and the way he was dressed in church, for some reason;
He did serve in the Navy, but as an electrician’s mate, 1959-1963 – years before the Vietnam War began for most people. It looks like he was busted from E-5 to E-4 before he left active duty for the Reserves;
The FOIA says no awards, unlike his uniform.

Dressed for church? More like Halloween.
Over at the Military Phonies website linked above, there’s a photo posted that shows that there’s also a motorcycle, a leather vest, and some bonus leather chaps involved in this hot mess.
Poser trifecta! What a douche canoe.
Foghorn Leghorn: That boy, Ah say that boy is more fucked up than left handed underwear.
FOGHORN should peck his facking eyes out. “Boy, I said Boy, I think I’m gonna stick that Phoney Baloney Trident up your ass”. SON!
“THAT BOY is about as sharp as a bowling ball.” – Foghorn Leghorn
His uniform is a hot f—ing mess. If your gunna fake, get close at least.
Doesn’t anyone wear a suit and tie in church anymore?
Cocksucker.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!
Take your cover off indoors! Especially in a church….numbnuts.

Jesus approves this message
My deep laugh of the day. Gratis!
The Chapel AND the chow hall. Douche never stood duty before, I’m guessing. Or maybe just forgot, jackass!
Cocksucker!!!
Yea, and nice hat, TURD!!!
I wish for Emmet Stone Adams to suddenly have explosive diarrhea while having sneezing fits the next time he wears that to church.
I’m sure there’s an exclusion for stealing valor over 50 years ago….right?
Sorry, Jay, you misspelled “multiplier.”
*grin*
Nothing like wearing two enlisted warfare devices side by side to show how legit and squared away you are.
Did they even have those back in his day?
I’m not even going to start in with the Trident…because that’s too easy.
Perfectly good service on a Tin Can, and fucks it away with four telling lies on his chest.
The FOIA form posted above shows his final discharge rate as EMR, so it appears that ol’ Emmit here must have stomped on it pretty damn hard when he was in the USNR.
Another phony SEAL stellar performer.
Holy crap, you think he got busted down to Fireman Recruit?
He stepped on his dick, his dad’s dick, and any of his spawn’s dick.
what a dumbass
More like he stomped on it before nailing his schlong to a wooden table.
EMR- rate-Elec. Mate RESERVE status.
Not taking up for this work, but you guys could use. Lesson in reading NavPers documents.
Remember back in the day, you did 4 years active, and 2 years inactive, RESERVE! REMEMBER, YOU re obligated to 6 years of military service, in the USA
Richard:
EMR = Electrician’s Mate RESERVE status? What are you talking about?
FYI, we are not talking about the posted NavPers 601 Enlisted Performance Record; we are talking about the posted FOIA information. The posted FOIA information above clearly shows that this assclown was discharged with the rank/grade of EMR, which is an E-1 pay grade.
The information at the linked Military Phonies website also reports/shows that this knucklehead was busted down and discharged as an E-1.
Or, as a part of your ‘lesson’ here, are you somehow trying to tell us that Navy enlisted personnel no longer hold rank/grade after they enter the USNR, and that they’re all just in RESERVE status?
If so, please ‘hold school’ for us again, and explain how all of that works so that all of us here at TAH can get up to speed on this.
Thanks.
His Enlisted Performance record shows him as an EM2 on April 24 1963, two days before discharge.
Either the “Reserve” theory is correct of the clerk fucked up. Odds are that this piece of shit actually was an NCO when he got out. Good job Navy.
One of those enlisted warfare devices looks like Surface Warfare; any idea what the other one is? I’m having a difficult time making out the details in the photo above.
Please tell me that it’s not an FMF pin.
I think it might be a SWCC pin.
Copy; thanks.
It is the SWCC pin. And I’d like to choke him with that FUBAR neckerchief. Dixie cup not manly enough for you there operator?
In the Vietnam era, he would have been awarded the Small Craft Badge vice the SWCC badge. I only know because one of my boot camp CCs was an EN on riverboats in Vietnam.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Craft_insignia
I guess that he decided that he had to have any badge that has an attachment to SEALS. Interestingly, he missed the jump wings.
I choked at the non-regulation ball cap with SDBs. The horizontal warfare devices were just bonus.
Nope. ESWS for enlisted didn’t come about until the mid-late 70’s.
Yep and SWCC until 99, Trident didn’t come out until 71, they used the UDT pin until then.
PS…Nice neckerchief dickchops. BTW, if you’re going to wear the uniform, could you at least conform with the grooming standards?
What a fucking dickhead, phonies are like dog shit, they’re everywhere.
Mostly on our shoes…
I have more respect for dogshit on the sidewalk than I do posers and embellishers.
DECORATIONS AND AWARDS:
NONE
Considering he should have at least had an NDSM if not a GCM?
Something stinks.
I don’t believe 63 was not under NDSM, and Good Conduct was four years and he got busted.
He actually rates the NDSM – the Vietnam NDSM period ran from 1 Jan 1961 to 14 Aug 1974, inclusive. However, based on the date of his discharge there wouldn’t be one listed in his records at NPRC – so it’s not listed on the their reply, which only lists what the records on file at NPRC say he’s authorized.
Here’s why his records don’t list the NDSM: the NDSM was re-authorized for Vietnam by EO 11265. That EO was issued by LBJ on 11 Jan 1966; however, the award was retroactive to 1 Jan 1961. Since this tool left active duty in 1963 and was discharged from the USNR in 1965, there’d be no NDSM listed in his records – because the EO re-authorizing it for Vietnam wasn’t issued until the following year (1966).
If he indeed lost a stripe somewhere along the line, that would indeed explain the lack of a GCM. He’d served exactly 4 years on release from active duty in 1963, and in 1963 the Navy GCM required 4 years of “clean” enlisted service.
That is why your Hondo, wasn’t sure new it was 66, didn’t know the back date.
De nada, amigo.
You sometimes see a similar situation with USN/USMC folks who served in Vietnam re: the CAR. That wasn’t created until 17 Feb 1969. Eligibility was later made retroactive back to 7 Dec 1941.
However, records for anyone discharged prior to the CAR’s creation won’t show them as being entitled to the CAR unless the individual has gone through the defined process to get it added to their official file. I believe that requires submitting an official request, with supporting documentation, to either BUPERS or the BCNR (I’m not positive and can’t be more specific since I wasn’t USN or USMC).
I’m guessing the good conduct, doesn’t apply. He spent a year as a Fireman apprentice.
Should have made FN, after a year.
FR- enlistment date – 6 months
FA- 6 months
FN- 9 MONTHS
Is he from Florida?? He also does not look AJ Fucking squared away at all.I wonder if he knows how to roll the infamous unauthorized double rolled wear only on liberty neckerchief.
Yet another prospective member of All Points Logistics.
I had mine rolled properly and boot camp, and used the same one for the rest of my 4 years. As an engineer, you never wear your blues/whites for anything but a command inspection. I never wore them on liberty, standing watch, and never had to stand before the Old Man. Only once manning the rails for a grand total of about 6 times after boot. Certainly would wear it to church 50 years after my EAOS.
Another fucktard Tupperware SEAL! Way to go there dickhead!
Certified ball hair beard. Not real… it’s glued on.
The phony SEALS are coming on strong for 2018. C’mon Army!
The further we get from “We Were Soldiers…” the fewer 1st Cav fakers. Notice that?
There must be another movie out there that makes the phony SEALs come running….“we were sailors once….and hung”
Well, maybe we’ll get some phony “Horse Soldiers” now that “12 Strong” is in theatres!😂🤠
It’s someone else’s ball hair…and that’s not glue
Bradley Manning is involved I think!
There is little hope for the Army. Most fakers want to be phony SEALs. They have obviously got better PR.
there is that. Real SEALs have become their own worst enemy when it comes to phonies.

Don’t say that. He may want a Purple Heart for that statement.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist:
On 1 December 1978, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral T.B. Hayward approved the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS) Qualification Program. This approval followed immediately by the promulgation of OPNAV Instruction 1412.4, which provided the specific details of the program.
So numnuts was OoS long before the ESWS Badge came out. Didn’t bother looking up the 2nd.
I think it was mid-90s before a Sailor could wear more than 2 breast insignia; one above ribbon rack, two below.
In all fairness although it is an unauthorized ESWS pin, he actually considers it a special commemorative “legs akimbo” award for sustained superior MWR “activities” in the starboard 01 level fan room…all to a rousing 1MC “blow the man down” soundtrack…and, of course, his stellar beyond the call of duty performances on the poop deck
The only SEALs (Team 1 and Team 2)in Vietnam first went there in 1963 and left in 1971. I’m quite sure he had nothing to do with them or UDT-12. They were cobbled together out of existing UDT teams by the Kennedy administration in 1962. https://navyseals.com/nsw/navy-seal-history/
There is a list of who was and was not there. I’m sure that Senior Chief Shipley can answer any questions about that, too.
Some pictures for you all to look at, of people who WERE there.

At some point, this just gets to be thoroughly obnoxious when it is clear that people like Adams think no one can provide facts to refute their claims.
And yeah, could someone hammer him flat for that neckerchief? Do it right or quit trying to fool people, shitface.
UDT 11,12,21 &22 were still active in the 70’s UDT 11 became Team Five and 12 SDV ONE, 21 Team Four, and 22 became SDV Two. Team 11 was last in 1983. More History the first Two NCDU’s came from Seabees, and most of UDT One and Two came form Bess.
from.
Thanks, Chief. I pulled that from some sites set up by former SEALs, so I’m only quoting them.
I think the first time they were actually used for anything was the invasion of Cuba, when they participated in exercises aimed at invading the island.
“According to founding SEAL team member Roy Boehm, the SEALs’ first missions were directed against communist Cuba. These consisted of deploying from submarines and carrying out beach reconnaissance in prelude to a proposed US amphibious invasion of the island. On at least one occasion Boehm and another SEAL smuggled a CIA agent ashore to take pictures of Soviet nuclear missiles being unloaded on the dockside.” – source: Wiki
That’s why I said this guy Adams is completely obnoxious making his claim. I don’t think he deserves an ounce of respect. JMHO
I have heard the UDT came from Seabees or mostly Seabees for years. Just like in more recent years the UDT was formed from a cross section of the fleet and recruits from all rates. This is from the UDT/SEAL Archives. The old wives tales of the Navy
you had two different units NCDU’s(Naval Combat Demolition Units) that are in the Data base as Frog men also, and UDT’s most of UDT’s worked in the Pacific and NCDU’s worked in the Atlantic. The NCDU’s were used mostly to Breach Obstacles near and on beach for the beach craft to get in and off load troops. The reason the very first 18 came from the Bees is they had a blasting school at Camp Peary, because of the blasting you do for Demo and Construction work the Bees did. The teams did training then moved down to ACB base at Fort Pierce, Fla were all UDT and NCDU’s did there training and hell week came from that training. Most of NCDU’s had one Officer usually a CEC (Civil Engineer Corps Officer). UDT’s get all the press because there mission was a little different from NCDU’s because of the area of Pacific, they needed teams to Reconnoiter beach areas and map out path for beach craft to move in on the Islands. They came from Scotts a Raiders, but first two teams had a lost of Seabees again for blasting. The other unknown fact is as most Volunteer came form bees, they also came from Marines and Army Combat Engineers a little unknown fact that the so called Archives left out. These are being corrected today. When I made Chief I had to do a report on this, and the Seabees gave me a hard time. I would also go to a SEAL chiefs and get hell from them. Anyway the very first NCDU one was from six CEC officers and 18 Seabees and went on to participate in the invasion of Sicily, this was before the formal school in Fort Pierce.
also enlisted don’t wear gold and what is with the SW/an The CB combat Badge or is that a brownwater badge which did not exist back then.
No, that is a SWCC warfare pin, not around until 1999. I thought it was EXW, but its a SWCC pin. They had Gold and Silver back in the 70’S for SEAL’s, but now they all have Gold the only enlisted pin that is Gold, because Officers and Enlisted go all the way through Training together.
jeff,
as a retired enlisted man that had two gold badges (and several silver) I must respectfully disagree.
You are authorized to wear gold if you do not have any NJP in your records.
Only if you have 12 years of continuous good conduct up to that point. You can earn em and then lose em.
…the gold being referred to above is gold breast insignias. Conduct has nothing to do with breast insignias…not that you were implying that. Nobody with one hashmark would be authorized to wear gold. Three would be the minimum…then the hashmarks and chevrons go gold.
I won’t say which/how many Master Chiefs I saw with 28+ years of service and red crow/hash marks.
Fuck it. They were about 1/3 the cost of gold. Had I stayed in another year I would have switched over. Would have been sooner, but nobody’s perfect.
I bought mine. Never sewed em on though, because I was Marine Regs anyway.
It was a big deal to me to switch to the gold stripes. Also, they looked better.
USN/USMC enlisted Naval Aircrewman wings are gold.
USN/USMC jump wings are gold, and worn by both officers and enlisted personnel.
True Dat
Dude looks like the guy that changes oil down the street at a mom and pop service station.
Loser.
You mean the guy who quit school on his Father’s advice because Larry had an opening on the lube rack?
Looks like the guy BEHIND the Mom and Pop Service Station, servicing truckers, winos and hobos
Fukk…no….just fukking………..no.
The Great Pyramid of Devices. Rumored to have been built with the assistance of aliens.
Until I spotted the buttons I really thought he had the pants on backwards. Odd that they hang so fucked up. Normally when someone straps on a uniform so poorly fitted up top, the trousers end up making them look like a gay pirate.
I’ve seen plenty of wrecked cracker jacks; he makes the top twenty.
I can’t tell from the photo but I bet it was also covered in hair. Like his uniform needed a shave, covered in hair, cause you know he didn’t build that pyramid and then think “damn where did I put that lint roller”.
HHmmm. SO he was probably the original Sailor guy in The Village People band.
He also invented the Hot Carl and Chicago Steamer.
A baseball cap with his Blues. What is he, a USAF SEAL?
CAR as his highest award? Where did this guy go to phony school?
I guess the picture was taken in a church as he might have been there to pray that he wouldn’t be exposed a phony.
Navy uniform question: I know the symbol underneath the crow is supposed to represent the specific rating (bosun’s mate, machinist’s mate, etc) so what is indicated by the plain white circle? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
I wasn’t an Electricians Mate, but their symbol looks like a globe with latitude and longitude lines on it. I have no idea why…maybe lightning bolts were used for something else when the rate was created.
Google Electricians Mate, and view the images for a better look.
My symbol was crossed mauls, with wings.
Radioman has lighting bolts
Relevant but slightly off-topic; can TAH add a tab for TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms)?
I have an advanced degree in profanity but the Navy ratings and Scrabble-like words confuse my limited brain power.
I will not join the Navy just to learn them. I am 49 years old and can’t transfer my Army SEAL qualifications over or retain the rank of Chief Master Specialist.
Which ones are currently confusing, maybe I can help.
Most of them. I think I have the basic rank structure down but the ratings system or what is probably equivalent to MOS in the Army isn’t common knowledge to me.
Like most people in the Army know an 11 series is Infantry, 18 series Special Forces, 19 series Armor, etc. and many we don’t know ourselves.
In all fairness, I’m sure the Army can be as challenging. I was a 19D10D300 Armored Reconnaissance Specialist, Cavalry Scout M3 Bradley Skill Level 2 (Gunner). My family just says, “he drove a tank in the desert.”
Since a number of civilians think that the gunner drives the tank or the driver shoots the main gun.
Only on our dress greens/blues did we (enlisted) wear our insignia like Armor or Cross Sabers (Cavalry), etc but Navy wears them regularly as part of their duty uniform rank?
My cousin was a PO2 (E-5?) Gunner’s Mate Guns (Cross Cannons). Uncle was a PO2 (A0000) Botswain’s Mate Aircraft (crossed anchors)? He was a Fire Fighter on the deck side of the USS Midway.
Thank you for the fast reply Atkron. I shall pick your brain in the future.
Your Uncle was an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handler) 2nd Class Petty Officer written as ABH2. They use cross anchors with wings
Your cousin is a Gunners Mate (Guns) 2nd Class Petty Officer GMG2 is how it is written out.
I was an Aviation Structural Mechanic (Hydraulics) 2nd Class Petty Officer, or AMH2.

This guy must have a punch board pattern on his head from all the medals he has pinned on his swag hat.
Lube rack…..BWHAAAA
Looks like he pinned his ‘I Love Me Board’ to his head.
Hey, dingus, stumble over to Google and type in your name followed by TAH. Surprise and you’re welcome. It is the least we, who have served honorably, could do for you. Bye now.
Is that Purple Heart Award(s) pinned UNDER your CAR? You know, the CAR you didn’t earn.
I just went to Military Phonies and all I have to say is…THAT BIKE! THAT MOTHERFUCKING BIKE! I need something to help me forget that I ever saw it. Gaaaahdammit!
You need to take the Tide Pod Challenge.
It’s a 3 drink minimum.
That bike just screams ghetto.
He really knows how to deface an old Honda Goldwing with all those effing discs (whatever they are). This bastard has a bad case of the “look at me” syndrome.
THAT BIKE is so tacky it makes a 1970s Harlem Pimp’s ride (gold plating, shag dashboard and all) look classy!!!
