Robert Allen Owen AKA “Allen” comes to us from Good Hope, AL. Members of Military Phony’s became aware of Allen when he made a post on Facebook with the claims of being a SEAL from SEAL Team 2 from 1977-1989 and spoke about night HALO jumps. Allen stated that he was part of an Amphibious Assault Group, not really sure what that is but I assume if you put enough cool tactical words together you can sound like you know what you’re talking about. A person on Facebook decided to contact this author to question Allen. At first, Allen thought it was cool until I joined in the conversation and he immediately deleted the entire conversation, Thank God for screenshots…

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 Robert Allen Owen ever completing BUD/S Training or being assigned to a SEAL Team.
Robert Allen Owen’s records were requested through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Based on Allen’s summary Sheet shows that he did just under 4 years of active duty in the Navy and not 12 that he claimed. He was discharged as a Seaman Recruit (SR) E-1. There is no record of him attending BUD/S, NO jump school, and NO SEAL Command. Allen was stationed on the USS John F Kennedy. One of our investigators located the USS John F Kennedy’s 1977 cruise book during Allen’s time there and they only had an “Owens” which we believe might be an error and we think there is a strong possibility that this is Allen.
If you compare his High School photos taken either 1976 or 1977 you can determine any resemblance. Also, they forced the spelling of his last name to “Owens” in his High School baseball photo. If the same guy, he would not have worked in the S-5 division of the ship if he was a SEAL.
