Shortt has made various claims regarding his military service when interviewed or providing consultations. In The Gun Digest Book of Assault Weapons Shortt under the alias "Seamus Shortt" is described as a "British Royal Marine (TA)" and that "Shortt has other military training as well, but details of it are still classified". In The SAS Fighting Techniques Handbook, author Terry White thanked Shortt for his insights in close personal protection and counter-terrorism. White states in his acknowledgements that he believed Shortt to be a "former member of the British Parachute Regiment and Special Air Service".
