The folks at MilitaryPhony<\/a> send us their work on Myke Ivan Michaels<\/a>.\u00a0 Michaels is 65 years old as of December 2019 and lives in Studio City, California. On occasion, he is listed as ‘Maysen Michaels’ in addition to Myke Michaels.<\/p>\r\n

Michaels works in the film industry as a Hollywood make-up artist, having worked on popular television shows and films such as S.W.A.T.<\/a>, Taken 2<\/a> and Taken 3<\/a> (Liam Neeson), Valkyrie<\/a> (Tom Cruise) , Seven Pounds<\/a> (Will Smith), Purple Heart<\/a> (William Sadler), JAG, Rush Hour<\/a> (Jackie Chan), and The Big Lebowski<\/a> (Jeff Bridges). \u00a0 There have been newspaper articles that refer to Michaels as a “field medic” but this could be a reference to a Hollywood set medic vs. implying anything with the military.<\/blockquote>\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> However, the above articles could possibly refer to his time before his Hollywood career. The Facebook claims that Michaels makes leave little room for doubt – he claims to be a Vietnam veteran as wells as going to Basic Underwater Demolition which is a pre-requisit prior to serving on a SEAL team. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

MilitaryPhony contacted the UDT\/SEAL archives and checked the UDT\/SEAL database but found that there is NO record of “Myke Ivan Michaels” or any other variation of his name ever completing BUD\/S Training or assigned to any SEAL teams. Michaels’ military records were ordered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and the NPRC said they could find no military records for him.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

If the claims by Myke Michaels were used to leverage work, military or civilian promotions, or anything else of value, he may be in violation of Stolen Valor laws. State laws may also apply.<\/blockquote>\r\n
