Arvil Gene Reed – US Navy SEAL Lieutenant, Navy Cross, Silver Star, Two Purple Hearts, Blog of Shame

| March 15, 2019

We were contacted by several people who have been working to expose Arvil Reed as the phony embellishing Valor Vulture that he is.  They asked if we could get his official records and a picture of him to post where anyone who wants to know about his service can review it for themselves.   The results of that investigation were posted on militaryphony.com

Arvil Reed Phony Navy SEAL

Arvil Reed Phony Navy SEAL

BACKGROUND

Arvil Gene Reed comes to us from Riverside, California but has spent time in different parts of the United States. He grew up in California. Arvil is 51 years old as of March 2019.

Arvil shows up to an American Legion claiming he was a Navy officer and that he was a member of the elite U.S. Navy SEALS. He had a DD-214 and official looking letters from the Navy showing he received the Navy Cross, Legion of Merit, Bronze star with “V” and a couple of Purple Hearts along with other lesser ribbons.

On the DD-214 above, it shows over 20 years of active duty, time as a Special Warfare Officer (SEAL), a Navy Cross, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star Medal with “V” and two Purple Hearts.

Here is the Navy Cross citation…

The above citation is for Gothic Serpent (Somalia 1993). You may notice some similarities to the movie “Blackhawk Down” such as “SUPER SIX ONE.”

Arvil shows up to this American Legion and talks about his SEAL days to anyone that is willing to listen. There were decorated combat veterans present and some began to doubt Arvil’s stories because an awful lot of the medals did not seem legit and the dates were all from the time frame of 1990 to 1995.

One of the SEALs that works with Military Phony knew of most of the SEALs that participated in Gothic Serpent – and certainly knew of the officer. Things seemed more than suspicious.

. . . . .

ACTIONS CONDUCTED BY MILITARY PHONIES

After contacting the UDT/SEAL archives, the Naval Special Warfare Center and checking the UDT/SEAL database we found that there is NO record of Arvil Gene Reed ever completing BUD/S Training or being assigned to a SEAL Team.

Arvil Gene Reed ‘s military records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

FOIA RESULTS

 

CRIMINAL, NEWSPAPER AND OTHER RECORDS

Several records on Arvil Gene Reed show different dates of birth. Same exact day, but on some it shows 1967 and others 1969. Oddly enough, his military records will show on either date of birth as long as other information is correct.

This criminal record displays 1967.

https://mugshots.com/US-Counties/California/Riverside-County-CA/Arvil-Gene-Reed.54604292.html

Here is a judgement against him from the San Mateo County Department of Child Support Services.

It is quite common when people have a criminal record or are trying to avoid child support payments to provide an alternate date of birth. This will make finding them more difficult.

The lady listed as a plaintiff married Arvil on 2 Feb 1991 but it does not appear they are still married. She may be interested in where Arvil is hanging out these days since there may be a court ordered judgement against him.

US NAVY CRUISE BOOKS

Reed’s photo was located in the USS Conte de Grasse’s cruise book from 1989, further confirming his rate as an Operation Specialist. Here he is shown as an E-2 in 1989.

Here, Reed is shown later in the same cruise book as an E-3.

. . . . .

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY

SUMMARY SHEET

Arvil Reed’s summary sheet shows under four years of active duty. He was discharged from the Navy as a Seaman Recruit (E-1).

The summary sheet shows that he went on deployments due to Sea Service Deployment Ribbons, but he does not have the valor awards that he claims – Navy Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star with “V” or Purple Hearts.

Arvil appears to have supplied organizations with an altered federal document – a DD-214 since he could not have been in Gothic Serpent since he was not on active duty in 1993.

This is in violation of the Stolen Valor Act and probably other things as well.

Nothing in his military records support Arvil’s claim of training to be a Navy SEAL or serving with any SEAL units.

STOLEN VALOR

The official military records for Arvil Reed do not support many of his claims – many of which are in violation of the Stolen Valor Act.

If these claims were leveraged by Arvil for something of value over the years, including monetary gain, work positions, or advertising SEAL experience to further a business, Arvil may be in violation of the Stolen Valor Act. Individual state laws may apply as well.

There you have it.  His records and other results are now available to anyone who might like to check on his actual military service.  We understand that Local Law Enforcement may have been contacted and we encourage them to follow their own investigation to fruition.

No Thespians were recruited or injured during our investigation.  Arvil Reed was never a Navy SEAL.  It appears he likes to use misinformation when confronted about his phony claims.  What phony doesn’t?

“Thank you”, to those who came forward to expose this clown.  The Google Gods may now spread the truth.

This clown certainly has chutzpah for claiming the Navy Cross. These days, it is almost as easy to check for the NC/DSC/AFC as it is to verify for MOH…

Comm Center Rat

If Arvil has the time and money to drink at the local American Legion hall, he should pay all past due child support payments. He could even sell his leather vest and bling to bring in a few dollars toward the arrears.

Always a shame to see a bona fide recipient of the coveted NDSM embellishing his military career. Arvil sounds like the name of a seal at Sea World.

USAF RET

and his IPhone and vapy-thingie. What a phony, lying dick Arvil Gene Reed is. Arvil Gene Reed is a phony, deadbeat valor thief.

Mason

One does not just get handed the NDSM. One must show up for work for 30 consecutive days! He shames all us recipients.

STSC(SW/SS)

Fucking NQP asshole

Hondo

Minor quibble, DH. The “one bronze service star” on his SWASM (which is a campaign medal) doesn’t denote a second award. Unlike an expeditionary medal, on a campaign medal a bronze star denotes participation in a defined campaign (a specific period of time). For the SWASM there are three defined campaigns:

Defense of Saudi Arabia: 2 Aug 1990 – 16 Jan 1991
Liberation and Defense of Kuwait: 17 Jan – 11 Apr 1991
Southwest Asia Cease-Fire: 12 Apr 1991 – 30 Nov 1995

I didn’t see any mention of the USS Comte de Grasse being in the Persian Gulf during the SWASM eligibility period while this guy was still in the Navy, so his SWASM is likely due to his time with the USS Abraham Lincoln. Pretty sure they arrived in the Gulf before he was transferred off for his apparent early discharge as an E1.

His AFEM appears to be from his time with the USS Comte de Grasse, since that ship was in the Gulf during summer 1989.

In the great scheme of things, the error is trivial. Great work by MP in uncovering the truth about this . . . “fine individual”.

Brian Simcoe

I served in the KSA from Aug94-Feb95 and received a campaign star. In Oct94 there was operation “Vigilant Warrior” that lasted a brief time before reverting back to “Southern Watch”. Obviously, those dates don’t apply to this clown.

Andrew

I took my DA photo without the star on my Afghan campaign medal. At the time, I had no idea you were suppored to tack the star on.

“I’m a 20 year Navy SEAL – says so right here on my Double-D twenty-one, four.” — Arvil Reed —

Bim

When Don Shipley exposed this guy on his site last week, he took video of a call from Reed confessing everything. Reed explained that he left as an E1 because he punched a shipmate who was sexually harassing a young lady, calling her a “See you next Tuesday” and refused to leave her alone. In his words (paraphrasing a bit), “But, because the guy was one pay grade above mine, they kicked me out”. Riiight.

He also is a Prospect for Green Machine (MC club affiliated with the Vagos). I think he may have a bit of a trust issue with his new friends now.

Anyway, it’s worth a look for those that subscribe to extremesealexperience. You wont find it on ScrewTube now that they censored and evicted Don’s channel.

Keepin' It Real

It’s always some noble reason. i.e. they punched their commanding officer because he was ordered to shoot civilians, etc.

Still doesn’t explain the O-3 and the Navy Cross. Wish Ar-vark would have offered an explanation for that as well.

Don Shipley does great work but the public at large is not made aware of the fake Navy SEAL due to the exposure done behind a pay-per-view service.

NHSparky

Ask how he got his commission. That’s always good for a laugh if they were a 20-year LT and didn’t say ECP, LDO, etc.

Oh, you came in as an Ensign and never made it above Lt? Do fucking tell!

Eric

He was a full Commander, but got busted to Lieutenant for punching out an Admiral, who he caught molesting his 3 y/o daughter. He never had a chance, of course, cuz the Admiral was a JAG officer and he was a lowly O5. Evidence destroyed, witnesses lied. When he went to the IG office, he discovered his 201 file was scrubbed, containing only the data revealed by the FOIA request. This hero’s life is destroyed. Proof that bad shit eventually happens to lying pieces of garbage.

Mustang Major

He doesn’t have the balls to join a biker gang. It’s just more of his poser lifestyle. He is all talk.

Outcast

Gee and no Vietnam service medals, when one is somewhat bored and his mind wanders into the warped zone (we are discussing another one of those Cali flakes posted here) theories arise in the mind that are a far stretch but not beyond the inner demented minds powering the embellished stolen valor scumbags. I knew I should have done KP and fed cats before reading these new posts.

“no Vietnam service medals”

He is only 51 years old but I don’t see that as problem for a poser. He should go for it.

He’s less than a year older than I am but looks to be at least 20 more.

Another Seal at the TAH starting gate. His lies about the above claims are most likely in his Gene’s.

Mustang Major

Someone should take the initiative to found an American Posers Legion. Then clowns like Arvil Gene Reed could hangout together and try to out bullshit each other all day long at their clubhouse. It would also keep them from infesting American Legion, VFW, and other respectable facilities.
