    I heard on the radio one time that 97% of the people who say they were Navy Seals never really were.

    For someone with (claims) a PhD he writes like ######. That dude has delusions of grandeur.

    Honestly, I would cut off all communication with this person by changing phone numbers and report it to my company. Also, be more alert at truck stops as you have run across this person twice. If it all possible, carry some mace or stun gun etc. And for future reference, 100% of the time guys claiming to be Special Force or Seals etc are lying. These people tend not to brag about it...they don't have to.

    I dont know if I would go to the trouble of asking for another truck, unless you dont like the one you are in. You guys have so many trucks it's hard to pinpoint one specific one unless you can actually see the truck/number. But use caution and be aware of your surroundings. I would assume you already carry pepper spray with you. Ignore any calls from him or any other type of contact. If by chance he does get in contact with you somehow, tell him once that you will get a restraining order against him. I dont know about you contacting Napa but it's possible someone might (or have already) contacted them. Be safe out there.

    From knowing several people that were or are involed in special forces or opps.
    They do not and will not talk about it to anybody..
    Even if they have been retired for a long time..
