A report to Military Phony states that Benjamin Jesalva of Bell Gardens California claims to have been a Navy SEAL in Vietnam.  His facebook page is littered with Navy SEAL Tridents.

Clearly, he is nobody.  Oh, just a shadow!!!!!

He states “no comment due security”.  Serious?  I guess pulling random pics from the internet works for him.

Ben has a Google account with his profile stating “former navy seal”

Based on his posts and pictures claiming he was a Navy SEAL, his official records were ordered using a Freedom of Information Act request.  Ben served in the Navy from November of 1959 until December of 1968, his service records show NO Special Warfare device or assignment to a UDT/SEAL Team.  Training courses completed shows NO BUD/S.  History of Assignments was requested twice due to missing assignments from July 1967 – Dec 1968.  A search was conducted in the UDT/SEAL database and the UDT/SEAL archives for Benjamin Jesalva.  Records indicated that Ben never completed BUD/S training or never had been a Navy SEAL.

Ben’s training course shows he was a Stewardsman (SD), which was a cook and galley steward.  Could this have been what the 1992 movie “Under Siege” – Casey Ryback’s character was based on?  No, we didn’t think so either.  In conclusion, records showed that Ben was NEVER a SEAL and NEVER attended BUD/S.
