I sent this email to the USS CURRITUCK ASSN:
"I think you may be interested in knowing that your newsletter is involved in a controversy on a major forum.
What happened is a man, named Ahamd Majied, was pretending to be a Seal and slammed Bush. Someone tracked him down on the internet as serving on your ship, through your newsletter, but the Seals said he is not a Seal.
Supposedly Majied has back down on being a seal, but now we want to know if he was really on your ship."
I received this reply tonight:
"If memory serves me correctly, when he contacted me regarding membership, he claimed a name change. While I could not find his name in the list of crew members I extracted from the ship's personnel diary from the National Archives on microfilm, there was a possibility because some of the documents were illegible. He joined the association in Sept 2003, but he might have duped us/me as well. Would be interesting to know how many other organizations he has applied for membership in.
Ron Curtis, Sec USS CURRITUCK ASSN"
Any Freepers out there know how to check whether Mr. Ahmad Majied was in the service.?
Ron,
Also said:
"if this guy is a phoney, would like to expose him."
So the USS CURRITUCK is also interested in knowing the truth behind Mr. Majied.
