The folks at Military Phonies<\/a> send us their work on West Virginian Joey Gibson<\/a> who claims to be a former member of Navy SEAL Team 2 and a 22-year veteran of the Navy with eight deployments to the global war on terror;<\/p>\n

Since he can afford the uniforms, you know he’s legit;<\/p>\n

The Navy remembers his service differently;<\/p>\n

If you look in block 12 of his DD214 you’ll see that his term of service was from July 1990 to December 1997 but the math says that he had 3 years and 10 months of service. I’m guessing that he had a couple years worth of “bad time” AWOL and\/or jail time. His last unit was listed as TPU PSD Norfolk. According to the Navy website<\/a>, that means Transient Personnel Unit, Personnel Services Detachment;<\/p>\n

TPU Norfolk consists of five departments: Administrative Services, Operations, Discipline, Maintenance and Training. Each of these departments is responsible for specific types of Sailors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d guess that the department that dealt with Mr Gibson was the discipline portion of the TPU. The folk at Military Phonies found a record on Mr Gibson that wasn’t military in origin;<\/p>\n

There is no SEAL Training in his records and it looks like he sailed through the Persian Gulf during the period which the Navy awarded the Southwest Asia Service Medal (between August 2, 1990 and November 30, 1995) but he’s not a real Gulf War veteran because he was in boot camp during the actual shooting portion of the Gulf War.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
