Me and another guy (Drunk Dave) got tired of that bullshite and flunked out. They said since we were sub vols we could pick another sub rate. I wanted to go conventional MM but the detailer ended up making us choose between MS and MT (needs of the Navy). I went MT and then cross-rated to MM(Aux) when I got to my first boat.

Better not be any stolen valor in this thread

I encountered a minor case of stolen valor this weekend

While eating outside at a restaurant on Magazine Street, this homeless crackhead woman starts harassing each table asking for money. Loudly crying, screaming she needs help. She was clearly high and mentally disabled. When she came to our table I simply said, "please move on ma'am"

She gets to about 1 foot of me screaming, "Well God bless you too! I served my country and this is how you treat a veteran?" She clearly was not a veteran. I simply turned to her and said "you didn't serve shite"...she looks at me turns, walks on and starts crying loudly to the next table.

I don't believe in going all crazy on a person who is clearly not right in the head. It took a lot of restraint not to go off on her.
