Today at work a co-worker and I (who is a old 82nd guy) were talking to this kid who just joined the Navy. He was talking about how his brother was a Ranger over in Iraq. Out of the blue this guy walks up and ask him where in Iraq he was. Kid said he had no clue but the guy ended up saying He was "on the other side" The three of us had a dazed look on our face and then he said he was a "Green Beret" The room went silent and he had this proud look on his face. Like he was King Shit or something. I promptly asked him who he was with, He froze for a second and said 69th. We just kind of shook our heads and my buddy walked with him out to his car to help him out.While he was walking out I told the kid he was full of shit and that when he came back in I was gonna bust his balls.
Anyway, my buddy walked back in and said "hmmm 69th huh". The guy left and was coming back to pick up his car later. We were both heated at this point and decided to confront him when he came back.
We decided that the 69th must be some elite ninja spec ops group that we never heard of.
About an hour later he came back to pick up his car. I walked up front and asked him once again who he was with again and he said the 169th out of New York.
I then asked him what his MOS was and he said 18x but didnt pass SERE school.
Ken (my co worker) and I walked into the office and started laughing our asses off where he could hear us. I walked back out and told him he was a assclown in front of about 20 people or so and told him to get his story straight next time before he tries to bullshit people.
His face turned red put his head down and walked away.
Im sure Ill get written up for talking to customers like that but oh well.
It sure was fun watching the shame come across his face when he knew he was caught!
I wanted to stick my foot up his ass. And I was hoping he would of smarted off cause I swear on my kids life I was gonna beat that "Green Beret" right out of his ass. I even warned my boss I was going to if he got cocky.
I said you might have to fire me but this poser is gonna get it. He just told me to clock out before anything happened. LOL
Oh well, That was my fun for the day. Thought I would share it.

I'm pretty sure if you ask my 20 year old little brother what unit I'm with he probably wouldn't know. He knows I earned the green beret and that's about it. Outing some kid who is obviously proud of his brother is pretty screwed up. Maybe he's lying, maybe he's been lied to, maybe his brother is in the pipeline and the kid just got his facts screwed up. Either way, nobody on this board wants to hear how some no time in the Army other than AIT kid is crushing the balls of another kid at a fast food joint. Grow the F*** Up!:mad:
Sigh. Again -- it seems to me that the people making the loudest noises about busting posers these days are those who haven't the creds to do so....

Same here. You ask my brother, sisters,and my mom you'll get different answers since they don't know how the army works even though they attended my SFQC graduation.
Heck, you ask my cop buddies and they don't even know or they'll get the facts messed up also.

SOTB, thats a pretty rough statement. Are you saying that a crane operator (I had to look it up) doesnt have the creds to bust someone? What if he read the book "Inside the Green Berets?" Or watch Discovery channel "Navy Seals"? Would he have the creds then? I would say yes. You are much too tough.

Either I read it wrong or others did. My understanding is that Smoke em was talking to a kid whose brother was a Ranger and some assclown walked in and started spouting off about being a 'Green Beret'.

It wasnt the kid who I was telling off... It was the other guy who walked in and butted into our conversation.
I guess im not highspeed enough to post on these forums.
But you know what, I was proud of being a crane operator and I would stand up for any american soldier no matter how high speed they are or not. It just happens to be that every one wants to pose as spec ops and not mp's,cooks or hell even crane operators.
Ill be in the pipeline soon enough. But I wont sit here and talk shit to people on the internet thats just stupid.
Since my creds arent high speed enough for some of you ill just keep my mouth shut till I get "better" creds.

Are you taking a tone? Because it sounds like you are taking a tone. I read it right. What creds does anyone need other than being an American to stick up for some kid who's proud of his brother especially when that brother is in the military?
I wanted to be a ballerina but was too short and fat. The best I can lie about is being an opera singer who smoked too much.

C-M-R,
Not taking a tone at all. Some here obviously feel I dont have the creds to be
busting a poser.
It was not about the kid at all. We talked for quite some time with him. And congratulated him on his new path.
The whole point of the story was that some guy that NONE of us even new was there started talking about his so called being a Spec Ops guy which he ended up saying he never was.
abnremf,
Apology accepted. I would have came off that way as well if I would have read it wrong. I guess I write worse than I thought I did.
This entire thread is a fucking soup sandwich.
Good job, Smoke_em.

Yeah, I read it that way too. I was just going to keep my mouth shut though. Glad I wasn't the only one. :D

Yep. I had an uncle in-law (from my wife's family) who gave me disgusted looks every time he saw me the first year or so I was dating his niece. He avoided me at family functions. He was a Vietnam vet. At first, I assumed he didn't like me because I was with his niece.
One day I found at why and we cleared everything up, had a laugh about it, and have gotten along ever since.
Before I ever met him, my wife had told him I was an Army veteran and we might get along. My wife heard some of my stories but knew nothing about the military. When he asked what I did in the Army, she told him I was a green beret pilot who flew all kinds of helicopters. My future uncle in-law figured I was a scumbag poser. I never told my wife I did any of that. She saw pictures of me in a beret but didn't remember the color... but she'd heard the phrase "green beret" and thought that's what I was. She knew I was airborne, but didn't know what it meant and when I once told her I'd flown inside all kinds of helicopters she thought that "airborne" must mean I was a pilot.:rolleyes:

Man that's just mean. My money says the guy's brother really was over there, he just had no clue what unit. I didn't know what my Dad did or what unit he was in until just a few years ago.

20 May 2007, 17:46
My Goodness....
Some people should read the post twice and then read the rest of the thread.
But I see where everyone is getting confused.
When the OTHER GUY walked out of the office. I told the kid that THAT GUY was full of shit. When I say THAT GUY, I mean the guy who said he was a GREEN BERET.
Why on EARTH would I try to descredit someones brother. If someone came up to me and said "Yea my brother is a Ranger" Im not gonna try to tell him he is full of shit. I would expect that from a ignorant dickhead. Which that I am not.
I think Im gonna go down to my local community college and take some writing classes. Obviously, I cant write for shit. LOL

Then the sales manager who is a Civil war green beret grabs his riding crop while shuffling down the wall, calls out 'guys get back on track and sell some friggin cars'......
Did I get it right???
Smoke_em
21 May 2007, 19:08
LMAO!
Actually, Let me correct you a little bit..
Dude just bought the ranger and wanted to buy new tires. He was all pissed off cause he dropped his sandwich in his soup. He said he would get med evil on us with his Green Beret Training if we didnt give him a good price.
That sounded stupid.. Ill think ill go have another beer and practice my writing skills.
Folks you do understand about my post, right? Fat Opera Singer who smoked too much? It's over.
Of course anyone who has ever heard me sing knows I'm a poser when it comes to being an Opera Singer. I am a short, fat smoker though. ok maybe not but I could be :cool:

Shit I had to read it three times (before I read the rest of the thread) to understand it.
More paragraphs, less sentences jammed together, and more distinctive modifiers other than "this guy, that guy, him, he, kid, the guy, he, three of us, he, his" and so on. That shit's confusing as fuck. Try giving them fake names or something.
Anyway, I think operating a crane, especially one of those big-assed things you have to climb up into and sit all day and build skyscrapers with, would be the coolest job in the world. Just you and this big assed machine picking up shit, and not having to deal with anyone at all.

LOL,
Well, I lived in San Diego at the time and my recruiter told me I would be stupid not to take the 62f job.
Said out in the real world they were making 30 plus bucks an hour. When I went to MEPS I had my mindset that I was going 11b and nothing else. Since I was going in reserves they didnt have that many job openings.
So I figured hell, I can go make tons of money for a few months get my GED and then go active.
When I got out of AIT the first thing I did was go join the Union in San Diego.
I payed my dues for about 6 months and never got a call.
Anyway, Thats a whole other story in itself. Point of the story is, You have to have tons of crane time for them to even call you.

If you're looking for crane work, nobody is going to call you. Get a copy of the "hot jobs" magazine, check job postings on constructionjobs.com, and just start randomly calling companies to see if they need a crane operator. Oh yeah, and fuck the union. If you want to make money, stay away from the union jobs. Stick with contract work. If you need some suggestions on who to call about jobs, send me a PM, and I'll see what I can do for you.

It'll take a while, but on this board it is a given. Then someone will tell this futuristic asshat to go post an intro. From there the situation will further deteriorate as he will decide to take up an internet fight with one of the BTDT's on this board and this thread will get locked by one of the mods.
