That's also a signal of a poser right there - that he's going out of his way to talk about his supposed service. There really was no reason for him to even mention his (supposed) service after you say that you are not military. What an ass - people like that piss me off, and it is inexcusable when we are at war!!  Why can't they just claim to be porn stars or millionaires like everyone else?

Actually I am startign to get pissed, why do all of the imposters have to claim 82nd or 101st, why don't they ever calim to be Signal vets, 50th was a good unit we were Airborne, we did lots of cool stuff, but no the posers would prefer to be a rear detatchment cook from the 101st, than a first team guy from the 50th.

I usually just let it go, i would have asked him how many HALO jumps he had.
Sometimes I like to talk military so if I see a reason to bring it up I will. (hope that doesn't make me a wanna be) |

I actually rarely speak about my military service with people I don't know, I will occasionally be asked if I ever served, and I answer that I did, and normally offer no more than that unless asked. Once in a while I will run into somebody who asks what unit I was in and nine out of ten times I get the "you are such a liar" look when I say that I was in "50th Signal BN Airborne (Corps) Forced Entry", as if I am ashamed of being a Signaler and am trying to make my unit sound more high speed than it was. But at least I know that I did my job, and that is enough for me.
When dealing with pretenders who make it obvious that they have never served a day in thier life, I just ignore them, because I know that I did what they only wish they had the intestinal fortitude to do. They ones that annoy me are the guys who I know never served, and after pestering me about what I did in the Army try and impres me with stories inteneded to convince me that htey are far more experienced than me, and were way more high speed than me, but really expose them for the idiots that they are, those guys I generaly give a piece of my mind. |

Several times, I've overheard guys at gun shows talking about "when they were in the military", and then stammer when asked a question. I guess it's just part of the gun-culture for people to somehow think that having been in the military gives them more "credibility" with regards to weapons.
Who knows ? |

I saw a coup,e of wanna-be posers a couple of years ago spouting off about how they were 101st and that they were shipping off to A-stan the next morning. They had hair down past their shoulders, they were scrawny little twirps and everytime they told a chick who they were (supposed to be) and where they were off to, they saluted each other like Benny Hill. It was all I could do to not go up to them and ask them WTF, but it was quite entertaining to watch their pathetic act. Later in the evening, they did get a little too big for their britches and mouthed off to the wrong group of girls (who's boyfiends were in the bathroom) and left promptly before getting their asses kicked.

That's actually funny that some people think that way. If they only knew how far off they were. Sure I could tell you just about everything there is to know of the M60 - but there's no way in the world I could ever compare (knowledge wise) with some these weapons experts around here. Some folks on arfcom will forget more than I'll ever know. I'm not sure. The only advantage I can think of would be practical application in combat environments. |

I never ask (and generally don't care one way or another) unless I see someone wearing a Marine Corps hat or shirt - then it's more of a brotherhood thing than it is a challenge of their past military service. I think I have heard someone trying to relate their military experience (or faux military service) when selling or buying a firearm (or telling someone else why they should or shouldn't buy a particular firearm) at almost every gun-show I have ever gone to. |

Definitely. I have learned much more about firearms since I got out of the Corps than I ever knew when I was in. I knew a lot about the M16A2, a lot about the M-47 Dragon, a little bit about the SAW, a little about the SMAW, a little bit about the M9, and had a cursory knowledge of the Mk. 19 and the M2 - but I was by no means an expert on any of them. |

A guy I work with is like that. He is a civilian security guard, and talks about his 6 months in the Army, before his medical discharge, as if he were the greatest soldier of all time. I am forced to share an office with this guy, since I am temporarily in charge of the military security detail at our facility. The BS coming from him is nonstop. He claims that one time, a pit bull was charging towards his kids, so he ran over, intercepted it just as it leapt into the air to bite them, and burst its chest open with a single punch. Sigh. |

I had as a student the "Only woman ever trained as a sniper by the Marines".
Problem with that? She didn't know who Carlos Hathcock was, didn't know what day was the Marine Corps Birthday, and gave me a blank look when I made several references that anyone in their second week of MCRD would have known. I don't know why people do that shit. |

I knew the first woman (WM) military policeman in the Marine Corps. She had the newspaper articles to prove it. She had to OJT for the job. The articles made much of her carrying a nightstick and whistle, but ignored the .45 in her holster, even though that was as visible in the photos are everything else.
I also meet lots of seal rangers at the fun shows. They don't have any articles to prove it, I think because their job was so top secret

HA! everyone knows the Space Shuttle used 33mm twin cannons in the tail gunners spot! posers!
I had a guy tell me, out of the blue, that he had been in the Army. I had been out for two years. What'd you do? I asked. Airborne-says he. Remembering the commercial I asked "You jumped out of planes?" He puffed up, "Sure did." "Who were you with?" asks I. "the 101st Airborne Division" "No way! I was in the 101st, i got out coupla years ago. What unit were you with?" "I told you, the 101st" "Division HQ? Them and the LRS are the only ones on jump status. What was your MOS?" Guys getting steamed, as we are surrounded by his friends, "I told you, it was Airborne." "OK" I say, finally realizing he's a total poser and not some ex-pogue yucking it up to look like he was a super force commando, "Airborne gets you a skill qualification designator on your MOS, Papa, it's not a job in itself. See, I was an 11Bravo, light weapons Infantryman. I had been a Drill Sergeant, so I had an Oscar designator. 11 bravo 2 oscar. Now what did YOU do?" "I jumped out of planes man!" "You're a fucking liar", I replied, somewhat warily, as he was bigger than I, drunker, and surrounded by his friends. I turned my back to him and started talkiing to one of his friends. The poser slunk away. he never mentioned Army stuff to me again. Of course, i have the oposite problem. i am such a lame looking, social geek no one believes i did half of what i did. LOL. Karma is funny like that, i guess. |
