I imagine. And do boot camps (sorry if they're not called that; I don't know the lingo) have the same instructors year in and year out? That would seem like an easy way to spot a liar if they made up an instructor's name or couldn't remember it.

Army Drills are 'on the trail' for 2-3 years. But there are several basic training sites, and all of them have hundreds of drills. Most people didn't go to basic at the same time or place, so it's not a very good indicator. It's damn near impossible to speak and dress like a soldier without training, though.

Gotcha. Probably not that easy to spot a liar that way then.

Haha that's up to you bro, I know it was a lot of random stuff and all over the place, but I tried to get out as much as I could think of lol. But unless you have any other questions, no need to respond Sorry it was lengthy, I just know when I was coming in, I did as much research as possible and it was always nice having first hand info from some one already in.

God it would take some huge nutz to make that claim with the visibility of that position.

I understand the popularity of the whole being in the teams thing with the movies about SEALS coming out of Hollywood left and right but holy shite what some people will do to dick ride.

...and cussing like a embicile doesn't do your cause much good. The real Ranger came across as a big douche IMO. I just don't understand why people can no longer express themselves without using profanity; it's the hallmark of ignorance.

Anyone ever come across any douches like this?

Yeah I did a few years ago. This clown wore t-shirts with "Special Ops" on it & combat boots and I called him out...IN PUBLIC. He started rambling all kinds of shite about how he did this and that & everything he said was complete BS. I proceeded to "correct" everything he said and he said "where do you work"....I said USSOCOM & he about shite a brick.

People are crazy. The sooner you realize this the better you will be at handling them.

This happens so much it's not news at all to me.

Semi-OT on the thread but that reminds me of the recruit who had a conference held at his high school, was choosing between Cal and Oregon, committed to Cal. Problem was he never got an offer, from anyone.

How in the hell did I never hear of that??! That's flippin crazy!

I just don't understand why the guy who was actually in the military couldn't just say something to the effect of "Hey man, I know you aren't actually an Army Ranger and I'd appreciate it if you'd respect the position by not impersonating them."

Update.. kinda: this guy was detained for his "emotional state" and " causing a disturbance" when he called the fake ranger out. heres the video he took of the popo telling him he couldn't go back to school until they escorted him to the vice president's office:

Why do soldiers always have to bring up there fallen comrades? The guy was 100% in the right for calling him out, but I hate seeing guys mentioning their fallen friends among people in a public setting.
