    Him calling the uniform a "costume" tells me exactly how many years he was in the military.

    Sorry I should have specified lol the good housekeeping kind maybe some men’s fitness or modern technology mixed in with it.

    I knew quite a few navy guys who tried to claim they were billy badasses, only to find out they were either cooks, truck drivers, or my personal favorite was a friend who tried to say he was a cryptographer, only to find out he was just the IT guy for the tech.

    No Sailor will ever seriously refer to their UNIFORM as a costume. He also didn’t go to a marine a school to get rated, and if did, it was most certainly managed by NETC, but marine facilitated. If it wasn’t obvious, this story is bullshit and he’s never served

    I mean yeah, I think we all came to that same conclusion. Although to be fair, he used the term "costume" in reference to a hypothetical person's imagination, he didn't call the actual uniform that.

    Fair enough. At best this guy is probably a CS attached to an LSD. But Casey Ryback was also a CS, so who knows. Maybe I’m off my rocker

    He started off well, too. He previously said that most active duty and veterans are just regular people, or regular people with debilitating injuries.

    Yeah but he was talking about most veterans. Not super special forces like him.

    He is spot on though. That is exactly what I imagine when I think of the Navy, Singing tunes and dancing while swabbing the deck.

    He used a lot of words to say he gladly murdered a bunch of people defending their homes after he invaded the wrong country.

    But don’t you dare pick a fight with him.

    That’s how you know this dweeb is full of shit. Even a Corpsman would never refer to himself as a Devil Dog and they are the most respected Navy personnel that serves with Marine Corps units

    I think it's a good time when you find these guys at a bar. Just act like you believe everything they say and they're good for a solid hour of entertaining tall tales.

    Sucks when it's your neighbor though. One of my former neighbors was a Army Marine Ranger Sniper and after he parachuted into war zones over and over and over again He started teaching Rangers and SEALs mountain survival skills including how to make plastic explosives out of cigarette pack cellophane!

    Two fucking years of that dipshit.
