RATHER, WALLACE GREY, or Grey as he likes to be called was hired recently as a civilian contractor to teach at NHCS, Great Lakes, IL. He claims to be a SEAL and has worn his uniform with many high decorations (i.e. Silver Star, Purple Heart, Trident). Some of his history seems out of context to his claims (i.e. being stationed with a SEAL team and then being stationed with a Marine 2nd Recon BN).


.
2010
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 SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation - 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 from1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named WALLACE GREY RATHER. 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 attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that WALLACE GREY RATHER 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).

I must take pains to ensure that you are fully aware of the fact that the SEAL Database DOES INCLUDE the names of all Hospital Corpsmen who have been assigned to the Naval Special Warfare Teams without the requirement to go through all of BUD/S Training. Those few Hospital Corpsmen were a part of the Naval Special Warfare Teams during the Vietnam era when there was some controversy over the idea of Corpsmen carrying weapons. Corpsmen assigned to the UDT and SEAL Teams at that point in history were required only to complete the Diving portion of BUD/S Training. However, that controversy was resolved, and by 1980 all of the Hospital Corpsmen who were serving as SEALs were graduates of the BUD/S Training course. There are Corpsmen who are assigned to the SEAL Teams in a SUPPORTING ROLE, but they are never credentialed as SEALs. Their activities are limited to providing medical support in the SEAL compound and training areas.

When members of the Naval Special Warfare community meet others who claim similar service, but whom they do not recognize, there is a conversational exchange of information that establishes the bona fides of each to the other. There is no set formula for this exchange, nor for the information that is exchanged, but it ALWAYS takes place, and the REAL Naval Special Warfare members can ALWAYS spot a phony as a result of this exchange. If Mr. RATHER persists in insisting that his SEAL claims are legitimate, I might suggest that you ask him these questions:


(1) Since there is no listing in the SEAL Database for the name you are currently using, WHAT NAME DID YOU USE during SEAL training?

(2) What was his BUD/S Class Number? (NB: No SEAL ever forgets the class number he shouted all day long, every day, for 6 months)?

(3) Where did his training take place? (NB: Training has been conducted at several locations over the years; different portions in different places)?

(4) When did he graduate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training? (i.e. a specific graduation DATE)?

(5) When did he enter the US Navy (a specific month and year)?

(6) When did he leave the US Navy (a specific month and year)?

(7) What were his Primary and Secondary Naval Enlisted Classification codes ?NEC? or his Naval Officer Billet Code ? NOBC?


There are many other questions which could be asked to further establish the level of veracity or untruth regarding his claims, such as asking for the names of other members of his graduating class, but those basic questions are absolutes. The answers to those questions are totally UNCLASSIFIED, and every real SEAL will gladly provide that substantiating information upon request.


I might suggest that you also ask Mr. RATHER to specifically identify WHICH SEAL Team(s) he served on, and when. I am in direct contact with several hundred of my SEAL Teammates whose collective experience covers virtually all time periods from the Korean War to the present; I can quickly contact those individuals to verify any specific names, events, or other claims offered by Mr. RATHER. If he feels that his name has somehow been mistakenly omitted from the SEAL records, I'd be pleased to hear details of his service which would serve to validate his claims. The Director of the Naval Special Warfare Archives - a close personal friend and SEAL Teammate - is only a phone call away and standing by to amend the records if this is ever found to be true. However, I estimate that I've made the same offer many thousands of SEAL imposters in the past decade, and none of them ever turned out to be a valid SEAL.


Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the totally unclassified BUD/S Training program and the follow-on secondary training program; the names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program 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 - we know them all...

The wearing of the SILVER STAR and PURPLE HEART make this a matter involving the STOLEN VALOR ACT of 2005. If Mr. RATHER is not authorized to wear those two awards, then he is a potentially prosecutable violator of that federal law. ...

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.

Scottsdale AZ Claims to have been heavily decorated and in Special Forces., earning a Bronze and Silver Star in Vietnam AS A MARINE!

http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?board=4.0
"And this website debunks his lies about being awarded medals. He's guilty of two federal counts for his lying about receiving medals.

In the first one, he lies about receiving the Bronze Star.

http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=50839
"On 1 June 1959, he joined the United States Marine Corps. The Marines send him to Boot Camp in San Diego after which he did four tours in Vietnam starting in 1960. His first combat was in Taiwan against communist guerrillas. Now if you were reading carefully you noticed that Reagan claims that his first taste of action was not in Vietnam but in Taiwan. Reagan’s authorized biographer writes that in 1960 Reagan first saw combat while battling communist forces over control of a Taiwanese village. During the battle, Reagan uncovered this grisly scene, “Someone had taken a pregnant Taiwanese woman, thirteen of fourteen years of age, and stripped her nude They had stuck a sharpened stake in the ground and then shoved that stake up through her vaginal passage, all the way up through her bowels, and out the top of her head. The front of her was sliced open from chest to crotch, the child taken out and rammed down on the point of the stake at the top of her head. The cord was still connected.” In response to this atrocity, Reagan charged out of the tent and promptly machined gunned four “gook” prisoners and assaulted a Taiwanese officer that tried to stop him. While not killing prisoners, Reagan found time to take a communist held strong point and earn a Bronze Star.

However, there was no communist insurgency in Taiwan in the early 1960s. Therefore, Reagan could not have been involved anything that approaches the level of carnage portrayed in his biography. Usually you need a war to have a war story…"

Another fake story, this one about the Vietnam War, from the same link, where he lies about receiving the Silver Star.

"The Battle of Bloody Heart/Operation Raincoat (spring 1967)

In the spring of 1967 during Reagan’s fourth tour of duty in Vietnam, he claims that he earned a Silver Star and at least one Purple Heart in an engagement he calls The Battle of Bloody Heart. Reagan states that a U.S. force of 270 solders was given the mission of attacking a communist held village that controlled a strategically important bridge. The task force was comprised of Marines, Navy Seals, and Army Special Forces. Also involved was a company of South Vietnamese Regulars and a small group of Laotian Natives troops. However, a battalion and a half of North Vietnamese Regulars ambushed the American/allied forces. In the ensuing battle, the fighting was so fierce that only seventeen American solders survived. In addition, the NVA whipped out an entire Navy Seal team sent down the river to secure the bridge. Of the survivors, three Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, one Legion of Merit, five Silver Stars, and every other survivor received the Bronze Star. The North Vietnamese wounded Harley Reagan three times and he received the Silver Star for his actions that day.

One would assume that such a bloody battle, a battle in which a handful of tough marines survived a hopeless situation, a battle in which three solders earned the CMA, would be recorded in the pages of history. But you would be wrong. I could turn up no record of “The Battle of Bloody Heart.” After an extensive search, I did find one reference to an Operation Raincoat. However, this operation did not occur during the Vietnam War. In fact, Operation Raincoat was a battle in World War II. It occurred in Italy in late 1942 early 1943.

Therefore, it appears that the major battles in which Reagan received his awards are nothing more than the product of Reagan’s overactive imagination."

In fact Reagan was never a Marine AT ALL.

"To help clear up matters I contacted Dr Richard Allen. Dr Allen has handled complaints for the Cherokee Nation about Harley “Swiftdeer” Reagan for more than a decade. He stated that the Marine Military Awards Branch had no record of ever awarding a Harley Reagan any commendations. I then contacted Mr. Jarrett an archivist at the National Personal Records Center (Military and Personal Records) about Harley Reagan’s military service. He informed me that they had no military record pertaining to a Harley Reagan. Upon further request, Mr. Jarrett ran a search with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI turned up no record that Harley Reagan ever served in the military; to say nothing of active military service in Vietnam, multiple medals, or lengthy hospitals stays at Bethesda Naval Hospital."

The site also debunked all of his martial arts claims.

"According to Reagan, he represented the United States in the 1964 Olympic Games as an alternate on the Judo team. Supposedly, he competed and placed fourth. However, a quick check of [Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here to Register for free] proves that Harley Reagan was not on the 1964 US Judo Team.

Keep in mind that according to his war stories, he spent 1964 in Vietnam

Regan also claims that he received his Judo promotions, 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree Black Belts, directly through the United States Judo Association and the United States Judo Federation

I wrote to both organizations to check the validity of these claims. The USJF stated that Harley Reagan has not received any promotions through their organization. The USJA told me that they do have a record of Harley Reagan who achieved the rank of Shodan in October of 1970. However, they have no record of him achieving a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, degree Black Belt in their organization.

Therefore, the information provided by the USJA and the USJF conflict with the claims made by Reagan.

Military Hand-to-Hand Combat Teacher

According to Reagan, between fighting communists in Taiwan, and falling out of helicopters, he found time to teach hand-to-hand combat for the United States Marine Corps. However, since the FBI and the National Personal Records Center have no record of a Harley Reagan then it is highly doubtful that he taught hand-to-hand combat for the armed forces

Jiu-Jitsu Champion 1967 – 1970

Oh, what a tangled web we weave…

At this point, his own lies begin to trip him up. Reagan’s website states that he was a World Jiu Jitsu Champion from 1967 to 1970, but Reagan’s authorized biography states that Reagan spent 14 June 1967 to 21 July 1967 in a comatose state after falling 300 feet from an exploding helicopter. Moreover, according to his own biography, Reagan was released from Bethesda Naval Hospital in March of 1968. Therefore, Reagan’s stories begin to contradict each other. Either he was in the hospital recovering from wounds received in Vietnam or competing in Jiu Jitsu, he could not be doing both." EXPOSED

-------------------------------------
November 2009 UPDATE

Reagan has removed a lot of his claims about the USMC lies and medals he claimed to have won. He still has the Gysgt claim on the site and a few other things.

And he still has the lies about his martial arts claims. The biggest lie of them all concerning his Judo titles is so bogus it's almost comical.

He states he was an alternate on the 1964 Olympic Judo Team and took 4th place when the team competed in at the Tokyo Olympics. The 1964 Olympic Judo team members were:

George Harris USAF, Paul Maruyama, Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Former Colorado Senator) and Jim Bregman who won a Bronze medal at that event. He was the first American to ever win an Olympic medal in Judo for the USA.

He also states that he is ranked in Tomiki Aikido, When contacted, the main HQ in Tokyo said they have never heard of him. He claims 5th Deg Black Belt in the 70's, there is no way on this earth that he could have earned that rank. No American was even close to that rank in Aikido back then.

He says he is also a 10th Degree Gold/Black Belt/Red & White Belt in Shorinji Ryu Ju Jitsu. This is also an impossible task, When checking with the highest ranking American in this style - no one has ever heard of him. Shorinji Ryu Ju Jitsu is a very close and personal community of martial artists just like the Aikido community. Everyone would know who the high ranking masters are.

And lastly he has been excommunicated from the Cherokee nation for fraud. They state he has no Cherokee heritage whatsoever. There is an article stating that the Cherokees were going to sue him unless he submitted to a DNA swab to confirm his Cherokee ancestry. He wouldn't do it.
He also has a former Porn queen as his "range master" to teach shooting skills. This is a joke. The woman claims to have been with over 700 men in as many movies. She also is one of his "Sex Therapists" for his clinics.


FBI in Phoenix was notified about his military lies and offenses against the Stolen Valor Act. They wrote back and basically said they didn't have time to investigate this and more important issues take precedence, it was placed in a suspense file.

I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable. In fact the last name “REDDOCK” does not appear anywhere among the 17, 300+ entries of the SEAL Database.

The photograph you sent shows a man wearing a US ARMY ENLISTED MESS DRESS uniform with a CEREMONIAL belt. There is no visible badge, patch, or emblem in the photograph which can be linked with the US Navy in general or with Naval Special Warfare in particular. I must note that the sequence of events which you described in your letter – a man becoming “friends” with a Navy Captain and then being promoted by that Captain to the rank of Lt. Commander bears no resemblance to the manner in which rank advancement is handled within the US Navy.

Once again I must stress that although I am a US Navy veteran, and a former SEAL, I am a civilian performing in an entirely unofficial role. For formal/official US NAVY confirmation of my findings regarding Mr. REDDOCK’s lack of SEAL credentials you may contact the FOIA COORDINATOR at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego, California, and submit a formal FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT inquiry in writing.

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.

You will notice from the websites we included that he continuously uses the term "forcED protection" and that there is a large amount of grammar and spelling errors. Not criminal but clearly someone that doesn't have an understanding of military terminology.

As far as his supposed Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, contact the Registrar's Office at University of Maryland @ 301 405 1000 or you can run an inquiry through www.studentclearinghouse.org in ref. the Master's degree he claims he got the same year he got his bachelor's.

Juan Reed complained about Atack Protection, and all info is unfounded. He was angry abouta fictious contract and company he headed up know as pig and associates.after careful due diligence on our part we found that not only was he posing as a former U.S.M.c. retired Gunnery Sergeant. He also lived in a homeless shelter in virginia which I personally verified. This is a retalation attempt in response to exposing him for the fraud that he really is.
