The origin thread is 2+ years old but I updated it recently and added some new suspects.
Before I served, I always respected vets. I listened to their stories and even helped them.
Later returning as a vet I had a poser try and exploit my kindness. I had grown some facial hair while on leave and I did not advertise my service back then because I hadn't done much yet. I was approached by someone and I helped him. I was still young and easily fooled even then but the man turned out to be a fake. I was disappointed as I would have helped him without the lie. Worse I found out he didn't need the help but was just a con-artist. The problem his others I knew maintained the view he had served when in Vietnam, when in fact he had likely been a protestor who spit on those Vietnam vets coming home.
More over if someone wants the glory they should serve, otherwise almost anything does not count.

If he has command at sea, he is called Captain even if he is a Commander. Most small ships are Captained by Commanders and not full Captains.

The Commanding Officer of a vessel is called Captain. Most of my ship's CO's were Commanders. In this case, the good Cap'n appears to be in command of a cereal bowl LOL

Ok, this is funny as shit! But as a proud Mama, I have to give some props to Future Soldiers. :-) My son is a Future Soldier, who passed MEPS, took his oath, and is waiting for basic. He is ready for his first 300 PFT and working out every day, swimming and running and preparing for basic and AIT. But this is LOL funny.

Does anyone know the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story....
A fairy tale starts with.... Once upon a time...
A sea story starts with... Brian Williams telling the story!
HA!

Great. This weasel and I were heading for the same elevator once, and he didn't want to ride with us unworthy peons so he faked getting a cell phone call. This was practice for a few months later when he faked something else.
