David Grant Barnes comes to us from Newbury Park, CA. Military Phonies became aware of Dave when he was calling out other phony SEALs on Facebook. You’ll love the posts below, a fake SEAL calling out another fake SEAL. Don’t worry, we will deal with the other fake SEAL at a later date…
On his Facebook page, Barnes has a few SEAL pics of Tridents and one of the old SEAL Team One Patch but he calls it “My old VN Patch!”
Of course, he’s trying to play it cool and talks about how he loved the damn jungle…
One of Dave’s friends was impressed since all these years of knowing him she didn’t know he was a SEAL. I guess after this blog she’ll go back to realizing not only was he NOT a SEAL but an elite fake SEAL that has become famous on Military Phonies…
In the picture below he says he’s in China Beach, Vietnam, stating it was during a cease-fire on Christmas Eve in 1969 (remember that date!!!) He states that he’s taking a break from the war.
Nice Trident hat Dave!!!
Very interesting comments Dave, the way it looks like in Coronado? You’re getting sore just looking at this? I’m getting sick to my stomach reading all your crap.
SPOILER ALERT: Dave was in Coronado in 1969 after failing Radioman “A” School and attended Coxwain School in Coronado, CA.
WTF, did he just say Team 2 was in Florida? Holy crap…
ACTIONS CONDUCTED BY MILITARY PHONIES
After contacting the UDT/SEAL archives, the Naval Special Warfare Center and checking the UDT/SEAL database we found that there is NO record of David Grant Barnes ever completing BUD/S Training or being assigned to a SEAL Team.
David Grant Barnes records were requested through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Based on Dave’s summary sheet, he did just over 3 years, 11 months, 9 days of active service. Dave was discharged as an E-4, SK3 (StoreKeeper). His service record shows No BUD/S, no SEAL Team.
So if you remember how he stated earlier about being in China Beach on Christmas Eve in 1969? Let’s look at his record, on 10JUL1969 he was in Treasure Island San Francisco in “A” school for Radioman (which he failed) and then was sent to Assault Boat Coxwain school in Coronado, CA for 3 weeks of schooling. He didn’t go to Vietnam until 16MAR1970 Naval Support Activity: Danang, Republic of Vietnam (navsuppfac crb for navsuppact danang)
