 Sir,

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and

 your search for the 

TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, 

not affiliated with the

 US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL 

imposters are performed 

as a service to the public, and in honor of my fallen SEAL Teammates… men who truly 

earned the right to the title 

“US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, 

their reputations, and 

their TEAMS.

 

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database 

(SEAL Teams

, Underwater Demolition Teams and predecessor units from 1943 to the Present Day) for

 anyone named ROBERT 

LUMPKIN. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar 

pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable. 

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which 

there would be evidence 

in the form of court documentation) since his claimed participation in SEAL training, and 

based upon the 

information you have provided, I can state conclusively that ROBERT LUMPKIN NEVER 

COMPLETED SEAL

 TRAINING, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL or a Navy Underwater 

Demolition Team member. 

Many SEAL imposters when confronted with the information I have provided will resort to 

claiming that their 

records are sealed, burned or their SEAL Operations were Classified as Secret and that 

there are no official records

 of them. Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man 

must first successfully 

complete the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training program and then the

 follow-on secondary

 training program. The names of all those who successfully graduate from that training

 program sequence are 

compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has “NO 

IMPACT” on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program. 

There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been

 and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs.

While unnecessary, you may want additional confirmation of my findings regarding Mr. 

ROBERT LUMPKIN /s lack\ of SEAL credentials. To do so contact the Public Affairs Office at

 the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in Coronado, California by telephoning (619) 

537-1133. You may also consider contacting the

 Naval Special Warfare

 Archives by email at archives@frii.com; that organization is responsible for creating the

 original SEAL Database.

When discovering that a person was never a SEAL, many people would like know what that

 person actually did in

 the military or did he serve at all. For a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request of that

 person’s military 

service you should contact http://www.fakewarriors.org/reportform.php and provide the 

necessary information. 

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the

 honor of the US Navy 

SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me 

at your convenience. 


Respectfully,

 Don Shipley BUD/S 131, SEAL Team ONE, SEAL Team TWO.



 Only three people with the last 

name of Lumpkin have ever completed 

BUD /S. 

They were all in the same year. and 

Bobby ( Robert ) wasn’t one of them.
