Why do people like this think that anybody with a functioning brain would believe them?
I used to work for the state while burning up some GI Bill. I’d sleep at my desk and do homework and shit. Anyways, some guy there had a HUGE Navy seal logo on his cars back window. All I could think was, yeah fucking right man.
Also, met a guy tell me they wanted him to enlist as an E7 because his test scores were so high. Okay dude thank you for your almost service.
Noah Torres
My dad used to say he was a Ranger and would tell me stories of him being in Iraq. I was little when he would tell me this, around 7-11. He was at 'college' for most of my childhood, and when he got back from 'college' he would tell me even more military stories. Had a beret on a skull in his room and a bunch of military memorabilia. Turns out he was in prison that whole time
Why don’t these kinds of people just say “yeah I was a and learned these x interesting classes” instead of going full fucking retard
Wyatt Sullivan
Because they're those kinds of people.
Kevin Hill
They've lead boring lives or command no respect or power. They've also idolized military people. So they think if they pretend to be veterans they can get the respect they can't earn being themselves.
Active-service and most veterans are retarded, trying to identify among such a demographic is exponentially more retarded.
Asher Walker
I'm assuming you have significant dad issues.
Levi Moore
I haven't spoken to him since I moved out almost five years ago but I kinda understand the dude now. Being in prison for 9+ years after killing a dude will make you whack
Julian Ward
People are so dumb, if I was gonna stolen valor I'd be like I was an 11b e4 specialist served one deployment to Kuwait, sat in a watch tower staring at sand and nothing cool ever happened, wait actually this one time a private passed out from heat trying to jack it in the latrine.
Nolan Collins
Don't you talk shit about my battle buddy! He was there! I know cuz I was there, too! He's lucky I was, too, cuz I had to carry his ass outta there when the shit hit the fan. He got shot up real bad -- that's why he's at the V.A. -- which is why he's all fucked up. Seriously. Hey, you got a couple bucks for a veteran of Seal Team Six? I need bus fair back to my unit. I've we've been on the lam since they faked all our deaths in that helicopter crash to protect us from the Deep State,zeroth who are hunting us, but muh Green Beret training tells me that I can trust you. You see, after killing Bin Laden, we had to disappear because they actually sent us to secure this crashed aircraft... well, it wasn't no normal aircraft, not like I'd ever seen before. Turns out it was from -- no, not another planet -- the future! Some bad shit went down, man, but I got out -- barely -- with the most important thing... Listen: come if you want to see something cool....
Luke Morgan
What did he kill the guy for and how did he do it? I'm hoping it was Jow Forums as fuck
Benjamin Taylor
Oh wow wtf even I know that's not how you fold MCCUU

No idea. He never talked about it but from what I can gather from other family members he stabbed the shit out of him to defend his uncle who was doing some gang/drug shit

>air traffic control so do you do that for civil aviation now or are you spending your days shitposting on Jow Forums?
Aaron Wright
Both. Got hired on with the FAA which is fun. ATC is a great career. And shitposting on Jow Forums is a nice way to kill time when I get off a 4 to mid shift
Dylan Perez
would you recommend ATC? what are the qualifications like, did you just do a short course and get approved because you did it in the military?
David Kelly
I dont think every airshitting japanese military otaku cares that much
Evan Robinson
I'd recommend it yes, but it's hard to get into. The first hiring round when I got out even with an AA plus ATC qual I didn't make it. Had to finish my bachelor's and then wait until they opened up hiring again to get a slot. With the military you get a CTOC which is a tower operations certification which puts you ahead of a lot of guys. Plus the experience of working traffic. Out of my hiring group id say about 60% were military and the rest were a mix of women, minorities, and dudes who paid to get their certifications prior to applying to the FAA. Everybody goes to Oklahoma city though for the academy which is not really that hard but does have a decent washout rate. About 20% of my class didn't make it and most if those were the zero ATC experience guys. Best way imo would be to go through the military and then stalk usajobs prior to when you get out. They'll work with you on that. The pay is pretty damn good and a lot of people don't want the assignments in based states (they all want JFK, ORD, etc) so if you end up like me working out of Nashville you basically can pick your first station. So it affords me time to go innawoods and fuck off on my down time. The only drawback is it kills your social life for the first few years. I ran the midnight shift my entire first year so I only saw my wife when she was going to bed and I was getting up for work. But that eventually stables out and you get better shifts.

I always think that. Just keep it low key, say you were a grunt, and nobody would bat an eye.
But they're always super-secret squirrel, CIA funded Spec-Ops that had a knife duel with Bin Laden himself atop a crashing C-130.

FACT: If anyone mentions their military service without being asked directly about their military service, they obviously want something and did little of value when they were in.

We have this local panhandling bum claiming to be an Iraq or Afghanistan vet fir sympathy. When he's begging for money he goes around with the most hyper exaggerated leg dragging limp I have ever seen. Adding to the B's us that there is no shelter for over a mile and that if he were to actually have that lino there is no way he would make it there.
Akrons not as ghetto as Cleveland but our bums and addicts are the most agressive and shameless I've ever seen
Alexander Myers
My reply with those is the following. "So you killed some muslim sand niggers and got food and pay for the act and now you want more?" Doesnt matter their race, usually makes them shut up and walk away right there and then.
Ryan Cruz
>enlist as an E7 because his test scores were so high. Okay dude thank you for your almost service.
Thats me in that pic. I never said seal team 6. I said I was on seal team 8. "Back up" And believe me. We were ready!
Easton Robinson
Also Akron here, where is this one? I've only ever seen bums with signs saying they're down on their luck or made a bad decision, one guy has no legs and is in a wheelchair, I've always been tempted to roll my window down and shout LIEUTENANT DAN? In a southern accent. I only ever see them around the route 8 onramps/offramps.
Dominic Anderson
Not that it matters, but BNA ramp rat for SWA here. Scary to know that there’s a Jow Forumsommando in the tower.
Jacob Roberts
Not from akron, from portage area. I wouldnt be suprised if there was some kind of panhandling ring thats going on in akron because there is an obscene amount. I literally pass one each time i go through. Like going to the zoo last month with the GF. And yep, almost if all are strategically placed on on/off ramps from the freeways. Whats their goal? Who organizes them do you think?

Probably because they're mentally ill, and in a country with a decent health system they'd be receiving treatment rather than being dumped into society and forgotten about because they can't afford to pay the medical bills.

Here in Britain, Potential ATCs are always failed the first time no matter how they do on the aptitude tests, because they only want to hire people who REALLY want to be ATCs
Maybe it works the same over there
Josiah Wilson
They're retarded....worked with a this fat nigger who claimed he was in Desert Shield and all kinds of outlandish shit both in and out of hte military. Turns out he was never in the military (claimed he was an E-7 enlisted for only 3 years). He couldn't even name his MOS. It was....sad. He claimed before the CIA was trying to recruit him but I honestly have no idea what they'd need a loser like him for.

>Akron not as ghetto as Cleveland At least our roads are in marginally better shape. And better lit. And we have industry. And we have better drivers.
They have schedules with the city for standing by the onramp, so that there is only one there at a time, to prevent fighting.

The only way to go over there is to marry an American, or be direct sponsored by a multinational company, in other words, no high school dropouts. > After school, Ben hopped on a plane and went to America to fulfill his dream, no visa, no diploma no plan, he just bought a one way ticket and got on a plane. >After doing noting for months, Ben walks into a recruiters office with nothing but an expired passport and an overstayed tourist visa. >He was politely told to GTFO. > 12 months later he arrives back from America with a set of marpat fatigues he bought in a surplus store. > Now he hangs around bars in his shitty surplus outfit and tells college girls he was a marine.
The one one Howe avenue exit 4. On the Swenson's side of route 8. I can even say as a medical professional (medic) that people do not limp anywhere as dramatically in real life as he does

No matter how much you hate it now, as soon as you get out you'll talk about it like it was the greatest time of your life.
Asher Bailey
genuine question as someone who knows dick about the military after you get out or when you're chilling between deployments, do you ever actually wear your uniform? Like if you're going to fucking walmart, wouldn't you just wear civvies?
Chase Jenkins
Not the whole uniform and nothing you're currently using since the first thing you do after a bit of time off is kit inspection so on my days off my uniform is either washed and ironed or buried in a bag so I can pretend I dont need to wash and iron it. If I have some older aquired kit that doesn't have holes in it like an undershirt or a pair of socks then I wear em. Some people wear trousers or boots but I wouldn't do that.
James Wright
ironically the marines DO require a diploma
Easton Allen
Oh this guy was full of false info he pulled out of his own ass. The Irish army turned him down for having asthma so he tried to ween himself off his inhaler by replacing it with cigarettes.
Lucas Perry
As the person who started the thing about panhandling, it's also the beggars too. They come to fucking everyone asking for money on campus or downtown. Had a tranny come up to me and ask for money and cigs while pumping gas in my ambulance and in uniform. Had someone come into my backyard and ask for money. I always carry now because the one time I didn't a dude came up to me at 2 am while I was in my car, right up to my driver's side window, with his hand in his pocket. Mother fucking addict asked me for ten dollars and refused to let me buy him food. When I came back from the store he was still waiting I. The bushes and aproached me for money again
Ryder Long
for navy since we wear the cammies (NWUs) as work uniform for the most part you'll see us at fucking walmart in NWUs after work. it's nice for that 10% discount most welfarequeen worshippers give us but i hate wearing uniform out of work
Some people may be in the nicer service/dress uniforms getting hammered at a bar after an official function since you cant get drunk in working uniforms
Luis Ramirez

Evan Garcia
>Why do people like this think that anybody with a functioning brain would believe them?
I've never conducted a study on it, and I don't know if you could get an IRB to approve it or not, but my hypothesis is that it's a coping mechanism for some kind of emotional/mental issue or trauma based on relative deprivation.
The reason they choose to "steal valor" so to speak is because of the hero worship, bordering on fetishization, of the military starting during the GWOT. Which is also why they choose to try and pass as a super secret squirrel high speed low drag operator type and not the much more high percentage of line infantrymen, MPs, scouts, clerks, intel analysts and operators etc.
If instead of the GWOT, our post 9/11 response became about glorifying firefighters you'd see every single one of these guys talking about how they were smoke jumpers with 12,000 jumps and 400 confirmed fire extuinguishings.
Hunter Turner
Nah you get njpd wearing that shit around. Your haircut should show people you're in the military though.
Gavin Hernandez
>wouldn't you just wear civvies?
Yes. The only people who wear uniform items after COB are boots.
Jonathan Carter
Plenty of people wear their uniform if they are on the way home from work and need to pick up something real quick, But no one gets up and puts it on when they don't have to work.
Lucas Butler
I don’t think it’s the same for firemen, but I’m sure part of it too is that they can’t impersonate emergency personnel as easily without getting arrested since it can actually be a crime. Here in Canada you mercifully almost never see it since they don’t sell current military uniforms commercially and it’s illegal to impersonate a service member. Incidentally a guy was arrested at a ceremony in Calgary for pretending to be a US Marine.
Noah Brown
It's technically illegal to impersonate a service member, but the specific law is if it's done for personal gain (discounts, free shit, etc) or to access restricted areas/information, but there is no law against dressing up as a soldier, or even a police or fireman or paramedic, but as soon as you claim to be one it becomes fraud, it's kind of weird but that's the courts interpretation of how far the first amendment goes, and honestly I'm glad they do.
Not sure what the rules are for Marines, but I think they are only allowed to pick up children from school wearing MARPAT on the way home. No other stops permitted.
>be me at a gas station/car wash across the street from MCAS Miramar >waiting for a car to be washed >see Pvt. Cleetus stopping to get gas and a car wash, wearing desert MARPAT uniform >he’s standing in the waiting area talking on his phone, waiting for his late model Camaro with Missouri tags to be dried >black Marine officer in civilian clothing pulls up to get gas, sees Pvt. Cleetus in uniform >walks over to Pvt. Cleetus and tells him to hang up his phone, Pvt. Cleetus goes pale >Black officer proceeded to give Pvt. Cleetus an epic ass chewing, complete with knife hands >this goes on for several minutes, Pvt. Cleetus is practically in tears, sweating profusely >black officer tells him to GTFO and never do it again or he’ll “ personally make him pay...”
the order lines out the reasons you can be caught off base in cammies. school aint one of them i actually agree with this order, keeps people from walking around buying cheetos in the public eye while looking like a bag of ass. surprised an officer would do that though, but good on him
>No matter how much you hate it now, as soon as you get out you'll talk about it like it was the greatest time of your life. I disagree.
Dylan Kelly
it's not hard to remember why i want the fuck out, but I won't deny it's pretty cool a lot of times and the culture is going to be nigh impossible to come across again in normal jobs. I don't care though, it's not worth my sanity and I don't like being a slave to retarded guys whose only merit is having survived to e6.

So would I technically be in violation of that order if I was wearing sandals and cammie trousers while gassing up my car?

this is what always pisses me off when vets bitch about debt when they could have saved at least 50k on a 4 year contract even when accounting going out to eat and a car payment.
Wyatt Robinson
he could be right when you work out all day long, you need a lot of calories to keep up It isn't out of the ordinary for athletes to have 6,000 or 8,000 calorie diets. if you fuck up your knee and can't exercise, but still keep that same 8,000 calorie per day diet, you will look like that in no time.
Austin Evans
because they get to shoot as many dunecoons as they want and no one bats an eye
Chase Sanchez
Yep.
Yes, our actual "salary" is low, but we get free housing and food AND medical, and a good retirement plan with some matching (TSP), AND free college while you're in, ANNNNDDD free college when you get out seperate from that, plus a monthly stipend.
It's fucking insane how good of a deal military service is. Goddamn incredible. Sure, it's not as good as a high-level professional career, but for someone with zero qualifications it's the absolute best deal around.
