Mark Steffener – Phony SEAL

| May 24, 2019

The folks at Military Phony send us their work on Mark Edwin Steffener.  Steffener lives in Seminole, Florida and is 57 years old as of May 2019.

Steffener was a Navy Seabee – and continued in the Navy Reserve after he completed almost 9 years of active duty.

It was while he was in the Navy Reserve that he was called to active duty and sent to Iraq with his Seabee unit. In a span of just a few days in late April – early May 2004, seven men from Steffner’s unit were Killed in Action.

Mark Steffener was wounded around this same time period and was awarded a Purple Heart on June 2, 2004.

His command held a ceremony for the seven men killed and Steffener spoke at the ceremony.  In the writeup, he was introduced as being a SEAL.

The ceremony included the playing of the national anthem followed by an invocation by LCDR Lulrick Balzora, Chaplain of NMCB 14; Commanding Officer, CDR John Prien; Command Master Chief (SCW), Kevin Trost; Chief Construction Mechanic (SCW) Benjamin Slaughter; Construction Mechanic 1st Class (SEAL) Mark Steffner all spoke of their fallen comrades. The 21 gun salute, taps and the final good byes finalized the memorial commemorating the lives of FOURTEEN’s fallen brothers.

An official U.S. Navy photo captured Steffener as he rendered a salute to the Battlefield Cross.

Iraq (May 15, 2004) – U.S. Navy Seabee, Construction Mechanic 1st Class Mark Steffner pays his final respects with a salute to his seven fallen shipmates at a memorial ceremony in Iraq. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion One Four (NMCB-14) lost seven members of its battalion in two separate encounters with Anti-Coalition Forces in Iraq within a 72-hour period. NMCB-14 is a Naval Reserve Seabee Battalion headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla. U.S. Navy photo by Ens. Tony Hollobaugh (RELEASED)

They spelled his name wrong – it should be ‘STEFFENER’ vs. ‘STEFFNER’ and you can see it is spelled correctly on his nametag, as well as see the Navy SEAL Trident on his uniform.

CM1 Mark Steffener – Hand Salute

Steffener went into the Army National Guard after leaving the Navy.

It was determined that Steffener was not on the BUD/S-SEAL database so his official military records were ordered through the Department of the Navy.

Steffener has an impressive military record.  He was a diver and qualified in underwater construction.  He was awarded a Purple Heart.

He was assigned in a support role to SEAL Team Six, but he did not go to BUD/S and did not qualify as a SEAL.

Not sure how this got by admin clerks, yeomen or personnelmen, but that U.S. Navy photo is inaccurate since Steffener is wearing an unauthorized SEAL Trident.

The U.S. Navy Office of Information (CHINFO) has been notified about the photo and we expect it to be pulled soon.  https://www.navy.mil/local/chinfo/

It’s a shame, too.  It is a symbolic photo and a tribute to the men that lost their lives in Iraq, but perhaps Steffener should have thought about this before stitching it on his uniform.

No Memorial Day weekend would be complete without a Fake SEAL outing. Seabee Steffener earned a CAR, PH, NMCM with “V”, and the coveted NDSM. He was even a Diver Second Class and once briefly supported SEAL Team 6. Can’t believe he was never called out for wearing a Trident he didn’t earn. After his impressive Navy career Steffener turned to crime. Him and the skunk are soul mates – both of them emit a most foul and noxious odor.

NECCSEABEECPO

This jack Ass had some of the first best nine years any Seabee would ever have and shit all over it. He went to an Amphib, some of the most desired duty for a Seabee, then NMCB and then a Tour with the first and only SEAL team six, that is a dream for all Seabees. After that dive school and UCT no easy task, he had enough right there to be on top of Seabee world. The jack ass got out and for some reason wanted to be the talk of his Reserve Battalion. You guy’s can probably find a lot of Phonies inside Reserve Seabee Battalion. The Battalion is speared all over sometimes within two or three states for one 500 plus Battalion. The reserve units have Dets some from 10 to sometimes up to 50, so if he was on a small Det, that’s how he got away with it, built their trust and went from there. What POS, HAD ONE OF THE BEST SEABEE CAREERS YOU CAN HAVE A PISSED ALL OVER IT.

The RED Flag should have been NO Seabee Combat Warfare, that’s why he never made Chief, someone should have caught that. What a POS,I know some real SEAL’s that crossed over from the Bees that would love to have a chat withy this E-6 faker.

The stench that Mark Steffener placed all over his service is worse than the smell of any skunk. I feel sorry for the skunk. Maybe the ASPCA can rescue the skunk. No one can save the POS Meal Team 6 supporter Mark Steffener from his upcoming Google Fame.

Embellishing Asshole! Florida….AGAIN…sigh

Sapper3307

Perhaps he works for the Skunk works now?

Daisy Cutter

From what I’ve seen, Seabees are a tight and proud group. They don’t like it when one of their own gets out of line and brings about any discredit.

NECCSEABEECPO

We will have his ass. Bet money he belongs to what we call a Seabee Island’s and he will be exiled.

I have a question for you guys, cant we turn him into JAG, because he is still in GUARD and is retired waiting for his pension, they can at least take that.

Daisy Cutter

I would think so. Still can be held accountable by the USN.

There is the question in my mind of his using the SEAL claim to advance. There is a checkbox on advancement exams where you get preference if a SEAL – or used to be if you were working in a billet outside your rate. That may have changed with the SO rate.

NECCSEABEECPO

I don’t think it was ever on his promotion records or evals. The CPO bored would catch that. With his first nine year enlisted he was on fast track for Chief and should have made it in reserves with a CM rate. The reason he didn’t make Chief is he did not earn his SCW Warfare, they would have caught the SEAL thing, so what ever he did, he did it within the reserve command. His Dive pin alone would have gave him an up against his peers.

Comm Center Rat

Chief, for what it’s worth, the US Army White Pages list Steffener as a SSG in the Army Reserve and not as Retired. He may have received his “20 Year Letter” but it appears he’s currently a drilling Reservist and not a “Gray Area Retiree.” Hope you and the Seabee community exile Steffener for perpetuity.

NECCSEABEECPO

With that then JAG can still go after this guy right?

Daisy Cutter

I’ve never known how this works. I don’t think a JAG officer or a District Attorney can take up an investigation on their own or refer one but I could be wrong.

I think NCIS or the police have to get a complaint, then investigate it, then turn over findings to the attornies.

So a DA cannot be fair about evaluating the merits of a case if they investigate it. It has to be referred to them.

Then again, I have not watched that many episodes of “JAG” on TV so maybe I’m wrong.

When I turned an active duty gent in, I went to the base investigative unit and they took it on… the equivalent of NCIS.

97Bravo

You can at least have Army CID investigate it. In all honesty they will probably do a joint investigation with NCIS or turn it over to them completely. Sometimes the IG will do these types of investigations as well and then his current Army command can act on it. It’s a little more difficult since he is guard now but there is a law that states he can be recalled to active duty to stand trial at a court martial (if it would even go that far). More than likely he would just be charged with unauthorized wear of an award or badge and be handed punitive actions by his current National Guard Commander. In these situations it really depends on the person, their record and the command group and how much they like the person. I’ve seen O-4s and O-5s do the same or worse and get off with a simple letter of reprimand.

Mike

If he’s in the Guard, refer him to his state’s Adjutant General, Most are 2-star GOs and have little tolerance for this kind of stuff.

MARK “NOT A SEAL” STEFFENER done FUCKED UP… and the BEES are gonna hammer the dog shit out of him for it!

Keepin' It Real

It appears that he fell between the cracks and took advantage of the ambiguity.

He did some non-BUDS/non-SEAL training in Coronado and was attached with SEAL Team Six in a support role. Probably looked legit to most admin-types.

Crack – just say ‘NO.’

NECCSEABEECPO

Probably correct to a Reserve PN, could have looked like that. Active would catch the AMPHIB part. The thing is he had all the cool shit, legit Dive pin, was on a UCT, AMPHIB, Battalion all of that so yeah that young PN3 or PN2 bought the lie and went ran with it.

In 2000, we had a real deal check into my old Battalion, was checking out the day he checked in. He was a new Ensign, went from enlisted SEAL to Supply Corps Officer, form old Seaman to Admiral program. The day he checked in the Command Master Chief wanted to meet with him and made some phone calls to find out why a SEAL was checking in as a Supply officer. The difference here was the Master Chief was a thirty year straight Active Seabee and had been there done that. Not knocking reserves but they have a hard time doing things like that, checking.

The Master Chief even mad him earn the Officer Seabee Combat Warfare pin, and told him he had to wear it on top, meaning he had a choice Trident or the jump wings, he went with Jump Wings. The day he checked out left the gold SCW device on the QD with a nice note to the CMC.

“Not knocking reserves but they have a hard time doing things like that, checking“

Must have been the turds you dealt with.

Seminole, Florida? That wonderful city is in Pinellas County. A simple search of the Pinellas County Clerk of Courts website case records shows a long history of Mark Steffener’s relationship with local law enforcement.

Just wondering how this clown could have stayed in the local reserves without his various offenses becoming an issue?

SSG Kane

As an Army Reserve Detachment Sergeant, I can take a swag at answering “how this clown could have stayed in the local reserves without his various offenses becoming an issue”.

Looking over his record it looks like 01/25/1994 was a particularly bad day for him.

If I were his front line leader, he’d get counseled, likely have mandated anger management, and sit down with our command staff. Given it was the 1990’s and alcohol was likely involved, we’d take a look at his service record to that point and decide he was worth keeping.

From 3/97 to 1/08 its all traffic violations. Honestly, if he doesn’t tell me, I’m not going to know. And looking at those, my counseling would be “Slow the fuck down when cops are present”, largely because at this point (on paper) he’s a fine sailor.

But lets say my hinkometer is going nuts and I can tell this guy is a bad dude, even if I went to command saying “My gut says this guy is no good” they aren’t going to process him out for traffic violations. Its too much paperwork and not enough time to do it.

HMCS(FMF) ret

So he knows the guys at the BTJT Deli? Probably on an “intimate, up close and personal” level…

Wilted Willy

Why is it always Florida? I hope this pos is taken out and flogged! I hope a real SEAL finds him and beats the living dog shit out of him! Funny he is matched up with a skunk, some how seems very fitting? I do feel very sorry for the poor skunk, I don’t think he will ever forget the smell of this fucking poser! Enjoy your new found Google fame you ass Snifter!!

A Proud Infidel®™

I say put Mark Edwin Steffener in a Pillory at a USN SEAL reunion and leave him there out of sight of witnesses, microphones and cameras.

HMCS(FMF) ret

And then, turn him over to the BEES, so they can have some “fun” with him.

Wilted Willy

Amen Brother! I hope they butt fuck him with the barbed cock of Satan!!!

Mustang Major

I may be wrong, but Steffener may have put Florida in first position for 2019’s fake SEAL count.

Not a fan of Skunks but the little critter doesn’t deserve to be humiliated like that.
At least give him the same courtesy we afford dogs and girlfriends.

RGR 4-78

Well, we have had a “bunny fluffer”, I guess now we have a “skunk fluffer”.

Dave missed his chance, he should have blurred out the face on the poor skunk.

Was wondering the same thing as to how he was able to stay in the Army Reserves let alone join the Reserves based on numerous Traffic Infractions as well as being charged with Felonies and Misdemenors while living in Clearwater, Florida.

Some of the charges included Burgulary, Child Abuse, Spouse Battery, Battery to a LEO…his latest charge in 2015 involved road rage.

Charges goes back to the 1990s to present day. Looks as if he has some anger management issues. He can’t used the PTSD excuse for charges that occurred before his 2004 deployment.

If anyone is interested, here is the site to research and review his criminal records. Click “All Case Records Search”. One can also read the documents annotated in blue for each charge:

NECCSEABEECPO

True but not funny with the Bee reference. I am laughing though.

Morgan Blake

Oh yeah, didn’t think of the Bee reference at all.

It is from “The Watch” when they refer to the meeting/congregation of aliens.

I was going to refer to him as “Stiffener” but I think that’s a construction term as well.

Florida again. better late than never that a phony Seal popped up this Friday at the TAH starting gate. I’m glad that I had that nifty genuine boss under the kitchen sink water purifier reinstalled when I moved down here in 2007. So far, no phony Seals in Palm Beach County so far and everything looks Jake.

As long as we’re striving for accuracy, the description of the ceremony from the Seabee website make a common error referring to a 21 Gun Salute.

One of the customs rendered for a deceased veteran is a Rifle Volley, not a 21 Gun Salute. The 2 customs are often confused and misidentified, even among veterans, but are distinctly different traditions with different origins and meanings.

The 21 Gun Salute is this nation’s highest protocol gun salute and the only individuals it is rendered to are Presidents, heads of state and reigning royalty.

Specifically, 21 guns (cannons firing blank charges 21 times) are fired in salute only as a formal greeting or farewell to a sovereign or chief of state of a foreign nation, a member of a reigning royal family, and the President, ex-President, and President-elect of the United States.

It is also fired at noon of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect.

Lesser gun salutes are rendered as a formal greeting to military and civilian leaders of this and other nations. The number of guns is based on their protocol rank.

On the other hand, anyone who is entitled to a military funeral (generally anyone who dies on active duty, honorably discharged veterans and military retirees) are entitled to 3 Rifle Volleys (rifles firing blanks into the air in 3 separate volleys). This is actually not a gun salute, but a funereal custom. They are referred to as Rifle Volleys.

This from the Arlington National Cemetery Website:

http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/customs.htm

Practice of firing 3 rifle volleys ofer the grave:

“The fact that the firing party consists of seven riflemen, firing three volleys does not constitute a 21-gun salute.”

The 3 volleys come from an old battlefield custom of a bygone era. The two warring sides would cease hostilities to clear their dead from the battlefield, and the sound of 3 volleys firing signaled that the dead had been properly cared for and the side was ready to resume the battle.

Good point. Nice background. Thanks for this info.

Thank you for clarifying that. I get so exhausted trying to explain the difference between a “3rd volley” and a “21 gun salute” to people. When I pulled funeral details on I&I for pure man power issues, we had details of 3-5-7 shooters sometimes.

Of course, I always get the smart ass,”Well, you got 7 shooters. They shoot 3 shots. Thats a 21 gun salute, right?”

No dickhead. If you knew how shitty and unreliable blanks were….we have seven shooters to be lucky enough to get 3 volleys off.

Way to take an excellent record of service and dump all over it. Compare Steffener to the CWO 3 in the post above, and understand why Mason and I do the work for Valor Friday.
(Mason deserves the credit; I just add some graphics and post his work)

No, you should have used Marvin G Shield a CM3 (Seabee) in NAM who earned the MOH for getting wounded three times and then lost his life after saving the Base. This was the First KIA for Navy in NAM and first MOH for the Navy and Seabees.

This jack ass doesn’t even deserve the title Seabee, Diver and Rate as a CM.

Mason

“you should have used Marvin G Shield”

Didn’t know there was only a single Seabee MoH recipient. His will make a great article. I’ve added him to the list.
