Was Mr.Rogers really a U.S Navy SEAL?

Mr. Rogers is one of my favorite television personalities.  I just loved him.  Anyway, the stories are urban legend.  He never served in the military in any capacity.  He was not a sniper, nor was he a Navy SEAL.  He does not wear long sleeve shirts to hide his tattoos.\n\nHe was just a gentle quiet man with a loving and kind spirit.  I will miss him a lot.\n\nCheck it out here:\nhttp://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-mr-rogers.htm

I think they did.  I was in the Army, and when I was..any soldier could look at a little dot on the horizon, and tell you what kind of vehicle it was...just by looking. Now these soldiers that first showed up at the roswell crash site, they initially put out a statement saying that it was in fact a downed U.F.O. then a few days later, that statement was retracted, and the story about it being just a weather balloon surfaced. I'm telling you, there's no way that trained military personel were standing right over this thing, and couldn't tell the difference between a balloon and a spaceship.

Yes. He was a pilot for the rebels.

Well, the lovely Laura Bush stated that the mission in which George W. Bush was speaking of (on May 1, 2003) was the mission of the very aircraft carrier that he was on, the USS Abraham Lincoln.  Apparently, their mission was accomplished.  Thanks, Laura.  That really clears things up.  *sarcasm intended*

you were a submariner on the USS sturgeon (SSN-637) but are now discharged and are a veteran ("vet").\n\nno?\n\n(i did a web search for your user name and found what looked like a web page of a guy's canoeing pictures, presumably yours, and a big american flag in the background.  the big flag is pretty typical on the pages of veterans, which made me think about the SSN, which i knew was a navy designation for different ships, so i searched for ssn 637 and found the sturgeon.)

Yes there was...one of them that I remember was a dude who tried to defuse a tripwire by cutting it..It didnt work. He was an NCO and should have known better.We also took some fire at the beginning but nobody wants to admit it.Nobody wanted to upset Bill.Then you have to count the crash of the airplane with the VIP. Oh and the guy who said hundreds is full of crap as always...He wasnt there, I was.

I know exactly who you are talking about..the guy was living near my home town.  He never really got shot, He faked it all because enough people were calling him out on his hatred and disregard for our military's members' lives.  Unfortunately, I no longer have that link because it disgusted me so much.

It is true, he recommended to the Democrat led Congress that the US send special forces after bin Laden because he posed a great danger to our national security. \nAll Congress managed to do was laugh at the funny sounding name. Nice work.\nListen to the  Marines....Semper Fi   -Do Or Die !!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no shortage of wannabes in this country.  I live next door to one.  One of the sure bets is that if they were in the Army they were on secret missions about which they cannot talk even today.  A lot claim to be snipers, Seals, special ops, and things like that.\n\nIf you have been in a war, it is not difficult for you to get them to expose the lies.  This neighbor claims he was in Vietnam, working for the CIA, and only flew in at night and they did not know where they were going.  His job was dramatic.  He said the missions that he went on was to bust up enemy places where they kept the POWs.  I have been from one end of Vietnam to the other and can tell you the terrain of the country.  This man can not even state specifically if they were in the mountains, the Delta, on the Mekong, or packing through rice patties.  \n\nYou can trap them if you know enough about the service.  My sister was married to a wannabe for a while and he would talk about it to my brother, who was in the Army,  but would not mention it to me.  He was in the Navy, he said, on a carrier off the coast.  So I whumped out some vocabulary words that any sailor would know.  "What size of ropes did you use to tie up?"  So he told me how big the "ropes" were.  Problem:  The Navy might buy rope, but when it is received, it is line from that point on, you don't tie up with ropes, you tie up with lines.\n\nThere are special vocabulary words used in the Navy from the first time they put a ship in the water.  Ask him what his rate was!  He should answer something like Radioman, Boatswain's mate, Gunner's Mate, or a specific job type.  Rate is not rank.  A man can be an E-2 Gunner's Mate or a Chief Gunner's Mate.  You can always ask him how many buttons were on the flap on the front of a paid of bell bottomed trousers.  The answer is 13.  \nSomehow get the word Marlin Spike into a conversation, anyone who has been to boot camp will know what that it, it is a tool for parting "rope" (really "line" so that you can splice it.  What, for instance, is the difference between a Marlin Spike and a Fid.  A Marlin Spike is for small line, the Fid, which requires a "serving hammer," is for big line.  Tell him someone told you something about a "Hawser," if he does not know what that is, he ain't been in.  Depending on when he was in, he might not know what a "Blivet" is, and there is probably no definition in the dictionary like the one I am going to tell you, but a Blivet is a five pound sack with ten pounds of shit in it.  Other terms are Yardarm, halyard, aftersteering, fluke and a billion more than are not used in other branches of the service.  Special vocabulary words are slowly, if ever, changed, and what I would suggest to you is that you look up each of these words (and you will not find my definition of "blivet" in a nautical dictionary).\n\nDon't dive bomb the idiot with terms, just integrate them into general conversation and do it slowly.  \n\nThere are other things that are not known.  For instance, the US flag, when the ship is in a foreign port, is on the after mast (a short mast on the stern) whereas the flag of the country they are visiting is flown from the main mast and is hoisted as soon as the ship has one line over, or the anchor is on the bottom, in a foreign port.  When the anchor drops, or the first line is over on the pier, the call comes out to "shift colors."  That is the command for changing the US flag to the after mast and the host nation's flag on the main mast.  \n\nThat brings up a story that occurred a month or so before Clinton left office.  There was a story that he was going to Vietnam (which he did) and while they were there, the N. Vietnamese ensign (flag) was going to fly from the main mast.  Now, from what I have told you, that is pro forma, status quo, or any other thing that indicates that is the normal th

Yes, he was first reported to have died while in Afghanistan, serving as a U.S. Army Ranger, during an ambush. It was later rumored that he died from friendly fire, but I cannot confirm this.\n\nYes, he had a college degree, but he enlisted directly after 9/11 if he was to go to OCS (Officer Candidate School) then he would have been delayed almost a year from combat. Which answers your final question he wanted to fight and serve his country, it was his choice & his alone.

Well, your question was probably not answered because it was very vague.  Asking about a specific " US-Navy security a guy," is a little crazy.  I mean, there are a lot of Navy guys.\nMaybe ask it again with a little more information, although I doubt it will be able to be answered here anyway.
