Phony Navy SEAL Of The Week – Force Recon

Mark Divine No Comments NSWC

Retired Navy SEAL Don Shipley busts Marvin Whiteaker, a Real Estate Appraiser from Ocala, Florida.  According to Shipley, Whiteaker said he was a “Force Recon Marine and in for 16 years before getting booted out in the Clinton era.”  In a conversation with Shipley, Marvin included that  “he went to and graduated from BUDS class 197. and was with Seal Team 3”.

Shipley concluded that “anyone feeling sorry for Marvin should read this story of Marvin stealing the valor of a young wounded Marine HERE”.

Note that the clip about Idaho at the end of this video is for another Phony SEAL that will be posted shortly.

Great job Shipley!!!
