Do you feel awkward when you meet another veteran Marine who all they want to do is talk about what it was like in? I recently got out last month and have met a few who seem to have turned into regular dippity da'd gon Chesty Pullers now that they're out and it's "cool" to talk about the Marine Corps now. I guess what I'm asking is how do you handle them?

Stop giving me a moto-boner. Ha. It sure is easy to lose sight of the big picture with garrison silliness at times, then you see stuff like this. You could definitely tell the posers apart from the real ones it situations like the one you mentioned. ANYONE can pick apart a room on field day but we all know who you can really count on and who you can't when it really matters.

Haha, I would have probably been that lance getting chewed out by you cause I wore flip flops to the chow hall or hands in pocket in cammies. Yeah, their glory hunting gets annoying to say the least cause you know they most likely were how you described it. It's just particularly distressing when, in say a public function, some guy goes out of his way to make it known he was in the military and goes on and on about his "war stories" that don't pass the sniff test and people just eat it up cause they don't know any better. We've all seen that guy. But, I guess you're right in just ignoring them and laughing at them on the inside.

lol I never took it personally. I realized about half way through that it was just a job.

What would be the best way to pass off a faked video? Like is it possible to make a video that has no tells it's been enhanced in anyway?
