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

The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Frederick Porter Emmart II<\/a>.\u00a0 Emmart lives in Keyser, West Virginia. Emmart is 44 years old as of February 2020 \u2013 the time of this writing.<\/p>\n

No case is complete without the obligatory bathroom selfie so let’s just get that out of the way…<\/p>\n

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

On Emmart\u2019s Facebook profile, it says he was an Operations Specialist (OS) and retired from the Navy. It also says he is a Disabled Veteran, former Boat-swain [sic], Culinary Specialist and Petty Officer First Class (E-6).<\/p>\n

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

It says he is an Operations Specialist under the Facebook \u2018About\u2019 section.<\/p>\n

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

Emmart has photos and comments posted that gives the implication that there is a strong connection with himself and the US Navy SEAL community.<\/p>\n

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

And even states he was serving with them at the time.<\/p>\n

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

In fact, Emmart was asked about this\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Emmart claimed to have many jobs while in the Navy\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Emmart even said he was with the SeaBees\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Emmart was asked about being with the Marines\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Emmart had a posting on his page about bombs going off\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Emmart was asked about his rank and if he was in combat. He said he received a Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) for Operation Desert Shield. Besides ODS\/S being before he enlisted in 1993, the \u201ccombat\u201d part of that operation was called \u201cStorm\u201d and not \u201cShield.\u201d He was honest about his rank and said E-5 vs. E-6 but felt he was so close to E-6. Recall it is claimed as PO1 (E-6) on his Facebook profile.<\/p>\n

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

There were many other claims about deployments and time frames. They were somewhat off (i.e. Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital from 2009-2013) but it may get hard to follow this case to post all of them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because Emmart claimed he got out in 2013, the Department of the Navy would hold his records so they were asked to shed some light on all of this.<\/p>\n

The above DD-214 and all assignments can be seen by clicking on the following button.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION and SUMMARY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The records show that Fred Emmart served in the US Navy from 1993 to 2013. He was discharged as a Culinary Specialist Second Class (E-5).<\/p>\n

He did just over 20 years in the Navy and retired. There was no discrepancy there.<\/p>\n

RATINGS AND ASSIGNMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

His records show no other training or rating other than the CS rating.<\/p>\n

He was not a Boatswain\u2019s Mate (BM) or Operations Specialist (OS).<\/p>\n

Emmart\u2019s records do not support a claim of being a Special Boats Operator or Navy SeaBee.<\/p>\n

COMBAT VETERAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) listed in Emmart\u2019s military records that would designate him as being in combat.<\/p>\n

If a combat veteran is someone that was aboard a ship in the waters supporting a combat action, and either fired missiles or launched planes in direct support of that mission, the ship is usually given a Combat Action Ribbon but it is not an individual award. It may be a truthful claim of the sailors on board to claim they were a combat veteran.<\/p>\n

DISABILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmart may have a service connected disability but since he did the full twenty years for retirement, it does not appear to be a Navy career cut short by a medical retirement but we don\u2019t know. If there was a disability, it would most likely be an injury vs. being combat wounded or he would have a Purple Heart medal and a Combat Action Ribbon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Freddie Emmart had a good career and crapped all over it by being a Goofy Bastard.\u00a0 Freddie served when most wouldn’t.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong with being proud of your service,\u00a0 but someone should try to teach Emmart not to leave a shit stain everywhere he goes.\u00a0 He served during the time when Osama bin Laden assumed room temperature, I guess he could say that he served ‘with’ the people that got him.\u00a0 It’s just that civilians might get the wrong idea about those kinds of embellishments and they just make you look like a Goofy Bastard to the rest of us.<\/p>\n
