My favorite is how many vets portray themselves as "operator as fuck" with their multicam hats with Velcro on the front (US Flag either on or off), 5.11 apparel, etc. There are plenty of folks on this site with full armor, kevlars, nvgs, etc, many of whom have not served. I don't think wearing an "operator hat" qualifies one as portraying "operator as fuck." |

What was your Basic Company? A-3-3-3 What was your AIT Class Number? 21-76 If he cannot Instantly produce either then he is a Poser. I'm not sure how the One-Station-Training would go, but I'm positive there would be At Least either a Company or a Class Number. Believe me: There are some things you just Never forget.  Believe me, with enough time, you can forget. I actually had to think about my basic number. I have no fucking clue what my AIT number was. Thirty years is a long fucking time. |

Ask him about the 900 year old doctor at MEPS.
If he doesn't immediately and subconsciously flinch, he's a poser. Nobody forgets him. |

I would fail a lot of these questions and I did 16 years. I don't remember class # from basic/AIT. Laundry # WTF is that?
I remember my Drill Sgts names, and join date. I had a break in service along with a crap ton of terminal leave so I don't remember my ETS date, a lot of guys do. Posers are dicks, many of they guys calling out Posers come off as asses themselves. He will say something stupid in front of a vet and be taken to task. If you haven't serve let it pass for now. |

some of these posers study up............ you really want to trip them up Ask them how many weeks they spent at MEPS training LOL!!! Funny thing is I had to go to MEPS six times by the time I shipped. With all of the BS involved with the Government mandated shuttle travel, over nighters in hotels, and the extremely long days when there, it kind of in a way felt like its own training haha. |

I am totally drawing a blank about what company I was in during OSUT (I sometimes remember this).
DD 214, Lowes discount card (VA ID), random TA 50/RFI in the closet, pictures of them in service, stories only other vets would find funny and so on are ways to tell. |

Even if some co worker wanted to see it I could care less what some random person thinks. I won't go out of my way to prove anything to them. Edit. But then again I don't go around bragging about shit. I served over 10 years ago. Nothing special. Just a regular grunt who bitched and moaned. |

If I could find it I'd have dog tags next to my name...
I do have odd things like pictures, orders, old OERs etc. but to be honest if someone demanded to see them, I'd just blow them off. I have nothing to prove. I did my part defending Colorado Springs against a Russian invasion in the late 90s. I don't seek praise for accomplishing that mission.

Reservists get one at the end of AIT and when they get off 90+days orders or deployments. I did not get one until I deployed. That said, if he's in, he'll have a .mil email address, so that should be simple enough. |

You've been out less than 4 years and don't remember when you were deployed or the name of the cop/cob/fob? Something is fishy. |

The MEPS one is probably the best or some variation of it, or some off the wall thing from bootcamp
Here a lot of Vets have the designation on their DL. I think a lot of people don't really give a shit though. If someone doubted me, I wouldn't go out of my way to prove it to them. |
