Phony Navy SEAL of the Week. FRANK ROBERT GORDON III

Wags 4 Warriors has removed the Facebook post but has not helped in getting rid of the news clip Taylor Mirfendereski from WOUB made.  http://woub.org/2012/11/13/service-dogs-help-veterans-heal-invisible-wounds

I discussed this information with Mr. Gordon and he said he did not join the navy in the seal program day 1 so they would have no record of him in that capacity.  He indicated he was recruited to go on missions with the SEALS for his expertise using a radar/satelllite system and subsequently, participated in the Seal jump school, undewater training, etc. to be able to join the missions.  He said he did receive a trident but there is nothing listing his SEAL affiliation on his discharge papers.  He has also indicated he sustained a shrapnel injury to his knee in Vietnam and was stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk.

BULLSHIT...

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 and predecessor units from 1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named FRANK ROBERT GORDON III. 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 FRANK ROBERT GORDON III has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT "Frogman", a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R).

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 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.

Once again I must stress that although I am a USN veteran, and a former SEAL, I am a civilian performing in an entirely unofficial role. For additional US NAVY confirmation of my findings regarding Mr. FRANK ROBERT GORDON’s lack of SEAL credentials you may contact the Public Affairs Office at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in Coronado, California by telephoning (619) 537-1133. You may also contact the UDT-SEAL Association via email at info@udtseal.org, or by telephone at (757) 318-3764; while they are not formal/official representatives of the US Navy, they have been granted access to the SEAL Database in order to verify credentials of potential members. 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 and their extensive collection of documentation exceeds even that held by the US Navy.

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.
