The folks at Military Phony<\/a> send us their work on Jason Lee Merrick<\/a>.\u00a0 Merrick comes to us from Cottonport, LA.\u00a0 Merrick is 51 years old at the time of this writing – March 2020.<\/p>\n

Merrick went to high school with Dane Reason<\/a>, who we recently featured here at This Ain’t Hell \/ ValorGuardians.\u00a0 Once it was put out that Dane Reason was not a Navy SEAL, Merrick seemed to change the story a bit as to how much he knew about Reason’s Navy career.<\/p>\n

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

Some people are under the impression that Merrick was a Navy SEAL.\u00a0 He claims he completed\/passed all phases of Basic Underwater Demolition \/ SEAL (BUD\/S) training but was somehow screwed out of graduation.\u00a0 In the following post, he uses the phrase “finished” BUD\/S as well as “completed” BUD\/S.<\/p>\n

Here, Merrick was interviewed by the local news when a friend of his barricaded himself in one of Merrick’s houses and shot three policemen.\u00a0 Merrick claims he was “in the SEAL program and finished BUD\/S in 1988.”\u00a0 (Start at the 2:18 mark if you want to jump to it quickly.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
