Father of Washington state Democrat running for House says his son is LYING about serving as a nuclear submarine officer and actually has a 'disdain' for the military
November 3, 2022
Former Marine, Brett Shavers, 55, of Kirkland, has accused his son Clyde Shavers, 33, of Oak Harbor, of lying about his military history
Clyde is running as a Washington State representative and previously served in the US Navy and reportedly claimed to be a nuclear submarine officer
Brett said in a letter to his son's opponent that Clyde was 'never a submarine officer, not even for a day' and said he warned him to be 'truthful'
According to naval records, obtained by DailyMail.com, Clyde did complete two nuclear power courses in South Carolina and New York
He did not complete Submarine Officer Basic Course in Groton, Connecticut, and therefore, was not a nuclear submarine officer
Clyde also denied his father's accusations that he 'disdained' the military, saying he was 'honored' to serve his country and stayed past service requirement
A father of a Washington Democrat running for the State House has accused his son of lying about serving as a nuclear submarine officer and says the politician actually has 'disdain' for the military.
Former Marine, Brett Shavers, 55, of Kirkland, has accused his former Navy sailor and Washington State House hopeful son, Clyde Shavers, 33, of Oak Harbor, of lying about being a Submarine Officer.
'Clyde was never a submarine officer, not even for a day,' Brett wrote in a scathing letter to his son's opponent. 'Prior to Clyde’s announcement to run for office, he had asked me how to explain his failure of the submarine officer pipeline training.
'I stressed to Clyde that he must be truthful and simply state that he went through the many weeks of training. Yet, as seen in campaign materials, Clyde chose instead to claim that he was a submarine officer.'
In an archived version of Clyde's website, he claimed to have spent 'more than eight years' serving as a 'nuclear submarine officer and public affairs officer with tours in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.'
His website has since been amended to state: 'He [was] commissioned into the nuclear submarine community and later transitioned as a public affairs officer in 2015.
'After Nuclear Power School and NPTU Prototype, his operational tours included US Naval Forces Central Command/US 5th Fleet in the Middle East and Destroyer Squadron 7 in Southeast Asia.'
