Couple weeks ago I'm at work and this older guy is in the lobby and somehow the conversation turned to our military. I asked him if he was in the service and he leans in and does the look around to make sure the coast was clear and says he was in a "special unit".
"Really", I asked. "What special unit?" The goof then checks the hallway and leans in again and says he was invited to be part of a super secret unit. By now I'm trying not to crack up and I check under the desk for anyone that might hear this hero blow his cover. Right as I was going to call BS the guy rabbited out the door when some other folks walked up. I think he knew I wasn't buying his BS super secret unit line. |

What was that quote from the film The Talented Mr. Ripley....?
Quote:
I knew one guy who was making some decent cash doing tactical training. He claimed he was a former SEAL. His name actually checked out as graduating from BUD/S. It just so happened that his name was the exact same as a real deal that had graduated. He eventually got caught, now he is a "preacher/evagelist", bilking money out of folks using religion.

I outed this azzhat on SOCNET a couple years ago who claimed he was taught SEAL skills by his SEAL dad. The loser bragged on the Internet and around the campfire how ninja like he was and how his dad had instilled high morals in him.
After I had his dad's name vetted at SOCNET as a fraud the goof shows up on SOCNET and claims the name I had checked was not the right name but now the story was it was his step dad who was the SEAL. Okay, give us the step dad's name and will vet that one too. As usual the clown suddenly went silent, it was all now covert and classified and he didn't want any exposure of his dad after bragging to the world about his dad's SEAL status. A check with a good friend of this fraud turned up neither of his dad's were SEALs. What a shock. |

A few years ago I was on an airsoft team, I know but it's fun to shoot people and not go to prison for it, we decided to use the new acu's as our uniform. One of the guys on the team decided we should order tabs and patches, SF, Airborne, Ranger. I thought it was dumb to portray ourselves to be something we weren't but he wanted the "authentic" look. So we researched how they were supposed to be worn. If I recall, top to bottom, SF, Ranger, Airborne, over the arrowhead. Well he decided that it didn't look cool that way and went with SF, Airborne, Ranger. Long story short, ran into a real Ranger at a game in Ft. Ord in Monterey and preceeded to rip my buddy up one side and down the other. It was one of the funniest things I have seen.

I'm just happy we employ some bad *** mother fukers in the armed forces. It's sad so many are willing to lie to gain a moment of validation. It's one of those things that when you are in the know, you know. If you aren't, then you don't know. Duh.

i love these stories. so i was with 1/5 Marines in fallujah and we worked with some rangers the kind who are in task force whatever and they go around with delta guys so it was pretty neat. but the best thing after we get back me and a buddy are at a bar a few months down the road and were watching the 2nd assault of fallujah and some guy next to me goes "i was there man back during the first time." so we say oh yeah with who and he says "marine special forces, 3rd parachute regiment. we jumped in and began the assualt." so my friend goes really i never heard that and he's like "yeah you wouldnt its special forces." my friend has a real bad temper and punches the guy right in the mouth and knocks him off the bar stool for being a lying sack and my friend lets the guy know the truth. i was like holy crap the whole bar started cheering for a liar getting punched in the mouth. the guy leaves and comes back with the cops. and after they find out the cop says your lucky he punched you and i feel good about that take the punch or go to jail for impersonating a vet. that was one of the times i was like +1 for le

Ran into an ex-girlfriend. It reminded me of when we had broken up but were still friends. She was engaged to a guy who joined the Marine Corps a few years after I did. I remember coming home on leave and she and her mom are telling me that this guy went in as a sniper. I start laughing and tell her, "Every Marine is a rifleman." She says, no he's in MCT and then going to Sniper school. "Really?" I ask. "Yeah, he's going to be a sniper! Then he'll be attached to a special forces unit." I hated to break it to her but told her that doesn't happen. I did confirm he was in MCT first before really telling her how I felt about that POS. Long story longer, they broke up and she married my cousin.

Hasn't always been that way - I had to go to MCT before ITB/SOI. ALL Marines went to MCT, no matter the MOS. This was 91-92.

True, I think they changed it in 93' or 94' to save on training time/money as MCT is a quick and dirty abbreviated version of SOI for non-infantry MOS.

My favorite "SEAL" story was.....
I was walking around at the Big Pomona show....you older guys will remember that show...8 miles of tables. Anyways, this younger chubby latino guy in camo pants and a green wife beater was walking around carrying a chromed Cobray M11. I asked him a little about it because I had never seen a chromed M11. He's showing me it all the while telling me how this was his side arm and that since he was a SEAL, he was allowed to carry anything he wanted. Man....never knew the SEALs were so bling bling...

Went in to buy a Marlin 795 and take a look at a mossberg 590 special when the guy standing next to me tells me he used to use those in Iraq. Says he was national guard. Says during range day he qualified with the m4 at 700 yards and got a 5 inch group. My spider sense is tingling now. He just kept talking, i kept nodding. The guy behind the counter was just cracking up as well, this kid thought he was the biggest baddest mofo in the store.

They do use the Mossberg 590. I have in my hand a kit: NSN 1005-01-512-2743 that converts the regular 590 into a pistol gripped one. But what a tool!!! 700 yards qual? 5 inch group? LULZ!!!

I had a run in with one of these guys. I think it might actually be a Calgunner which is quite sad. I used to work at my family's store and this one guy would always come in to "buy" stuff quite often. We never batted an eye to him but it turns out that he was stealing and wasn't just stealing small stuff either. God knows how much he have stolen and gotten away with until we kept an eye on him. Every time we would see him get certain items but when he checks out, it never adds up. Anyways, it began when I noticed that this guy was "shopping" in our store and he had a Larue Tactical hat on. I figured he was into guns so I asked if he was a member on Calguns. He said that he wasn't but I get the feeling that he was lying. Then I asked him if he was into gun and he said that he used to be in the military. I then asked what branch and he said that he was in the Air Force. I asked what he was and he said that he was in Special Force and that he was a sniper. Mind you this guy was 5'6" about 280lbs LOL. The enemy wouldn't even need optics to pick this prick out of the terrain. So I could tell that this retard is lying out of his god damn teeth right then and there. He left and came back a week later to do more "shopping". I stopped him when he came in and told him to GTFO of our store and if he ever came back, he would be trespassing and we will press charges. Pathetic how low some people will go.
BTW, ***HOLE if you are reading this, we got all the camera recording videos of you jacking our **** so come back at your own peril. Last edited by Nessal; 12-27-2009 at 11:18 AM.. |

lol it has to be a spoof as apart from his Size, look at his kit. The webbing isn't Any issue (even past issue), The Helmet is a US VERSION and the rifle also doesnt appear to be a L85 ( and there is no way in the world he is in a unit that uses anything else). The DPM Pattern looks old school US as well...
...and he's 400 lbs lol. Apart from the Gimpy in the background I would have said he was an American Last edited by bRiT636; 12-29-2009 at 7:35 AM.. |

That pic has been around for a good time, and is the poster boy for "Don't Be That Guy".
He may be a great kid, but he needs to back off the carbs, and drop the pounds.
