I love how they always go overboard with the chest salads, up to including shit from other armed forces and spooky squirrel SF shit.

But desu who the fuck wears their uniform and medals when visiting starbucks/mcdonalds/gunstores? No vet, sane or insane would go around doing this stupid shit

>>33332834

I like your picture but there are people who are as stupid as the guy I encountered today.

>>33332927
hey those shorts are comfy man, don't knock em like that. it's wearing the uniforms outside of some celebratory occasion that's autistic

>>33332927
Shit is cheap and comfy and with friends who are in often get spares free.
I don't fake anything, you need to calm your autism. It's cheap shit I beat on in the gym, thank you for your cervix.

yeah, I'm too stupid for the military, they want people with diplomas. all I have is a GED feelsbadman

>>33333017

Makes sense in a way but at the same time I don't get it

Hopefully I'm going into the Canadian reserves soon though, I'll see if they need me to have a degree for that

>>33333043
I don't either. I scored in the top 5% in all 4 tests (GED) but they just want diplomas.

>>33333023
This is cringe to the extreme and I wasn't even in the service.

>>33333078
if you were that high in the scores they would have gone for a waiver

>>33333073
That's fucked up
Still blows my mind they need diplomas. Does it have to be something special or would something like a mechanics degree work? Not familiar w/ the US force requirements

>>33333098
Well, honestly I can try again, let them know what scores I got, I'm only 26 right now so I'm still in my prime.
>>33333115
I guess they prefer people who don't take the "easy way out" but I'm going to go check again.

So why do people steal military valor? If you just want people to thank you really easy to steal something like say, fire fighter valor, and have a harder time getting called out for it.

liberals don't get their panties all in a bunch becuase baby killers and what not either.

>>33333163
fire fighter is probably worse honestly, in order to be a fire fighter you have to have EMT training so as soon as you mention it, you're the go to medic if anything happens like old FUDD Steve over in the corner looking a muskets has a heart attack.

>>33333163
People who lie about shit like this tend to not be smart. Even if you said I did two years in Iraq fixing radios probably no one would doubt you. But they always have to say, Yea as a Ensign in the Marines, I had 2 AKs issued and shot Bin Laden, that's how I got my 11th Medal of honor.

>>33333163
they want to pretend that they've done something really hard and they know they can make up bullshit stories because most people won't be able to tell that they're lying.

>>33333202
"yeah, I was a Polish Navy Spetsnaz operator during the revolutionary war of the Congo and I have 3,000,458 confirmed kills with a knife, check out the 4,218 medals I have on the left side of my Brazilian Lizard jacket"

>>33333262
This guy looks so sad like he's going through chemo

>>33333201
career firefighters tend to need EMT and even paramedic certs, but the many volunteer fire districts don't even require emergency responder certificate (which is a 2 day course). There are even some states in which volunteers don't even require any sort of training at all.

I know my district trains volunteers to the same minimum as career and is very hard to get into.

>>33333296
I believe you, the only experience I have is in large cities. The stations around one of them doesn't even take volunteers.

>>33333163
they're just looking for attaboys at the airport. I wasnt in the service even I can spot these fakes pretty easily, I'm surprised it fools normies so often.

>>33333362

I wore a flektarn jacket around my medical college educated colleague and she asked me if I just got back from deployments. She didn't even recognize that it wasn't a us jacket let alone not in any sort of pretense of being used to give off the idea of me ever having deployed lmao

>always change into civys in bathroom as soon as possible

I work at a VA hospital, and I have literally never once heard a vet want to be thanked for his service, let alone walk around in his uniform. They just want to go home and not be bothered.

In fact, during orientation, we're specifically told not to ask about or mention their service unless they prompt it, among other things like not assuming their gender or preferred name.

TL;DR: treat vets like normies, because chances are that's all they aspired to be after they got out.

>>33334020
I get that, I've gone to a recovery ward sponsored by Wounded Warriors with my dad a few years ago and most of the guys there wanted to talk about girls and the next big boxing match on pay per view. They spent like 10 minutes talking about how they got injured and I listened but it was more fun to talk about other shit.

>>33334020
This. I cringe every time someone finds out I was in and "thanks" me. I truly appreciate the sentiment, but ugh. These stolen valor faggots infuriate me. I find the SEAL wannabes the funniest. My two best friends are former frogs. Want to know how you can tell? You can't. They'll never mention it. I've met a few who are a smidge more vocal. But, 9 out of 10 don't squeak.

How do we call someone who steals posts about stolen valor loosers?
I mean it's even cringier than the stolen valor fags.

Around here it seems like Vietnam vets are the most obnoxious. Every time I commute into Los Angeles for something, there's always some asshole with a giant VIETNAM VETERAN sticker on his rear window. I'm convinced they're full of shit.

>>33334712
who steals posts? I used the picture of that guy because his story was one of the most outlandish ever caught on video, he's recognizable to pretty much everyone as a fraud. I'm not saying that's the guy I saw

>>33333333 damn

>>33335308

On the other hand, it was always costlier to return home as a Vietnam vet than any other US-related war I can think of. Wearing that uniform on a US street in 1968 could be scarier and more depressing than actually being in the jungle. At least you could understand why the NVA wanted you dead.

>>33332801
Was it the skinny faggot screaming jew the entire time

I was doing Napoleonic Reenactment, once upon a time. This is a fairly organized activity; you normally join a group and train regularly, and uniforms are normally produced in a number of sets. You can opt to buy a few items elsewhere or make them, and use them as part of your kit, but the standards are strict - both because everyone's a history buff, and because looking like a unit is a high priority goal. As part of this process everyone starts out as a private. People who are reliable and dedicated might get a promotion but this can take many years, because it looks plain stupid to have too many officers and it is unfair for those who deserve a promotion as much as those who actually get one. My unit, which counted only three dozen guys, had one captain and a couple of lieutenants and about as many sergeants. Sounds a lot but a big part of our performance was to do demonstrations of battle with blocks of soldiers marching right and left and each block needed a leader. Maybe once per year we'd go to a camp with a few other groups like that and do slightly bigger events. Great fun, and the few trips we'd do to international events in Leipzig and Waterloo and such were truly epic.

But there was this one guy. He was not part of any unit. Middle aged, maybe late 50s. Very educated on military history, and showed up on events with a tent brimming with high quality gear. Officer gear. And he felt, as he looked the part, that it was his place to take command of our unit. Nope nope nope.

I don't get why people lose their shit with stolen valor people. They're just LARPing. Yes it's cringey but the only thing they're hurting is your feelings.

I like BDUs. They're comfortable and easy to wear.

>>33336795

Why do all these people go so overboard and make it obvious?

>>33336840

>>33336795
People do it as a scam. They usually don't get caught though. Some people do it for attention. They always seem to get caught.

>>33336934
I'm too lazy do you have a screencap or somehing

>>33336934
Impersonating and playing dress up aren't the same though. I could dress up as a cop for Halloween and nothing would happen. It's only illegal when I try to arrest someone.

Wearing uniform items by themselves, without any markings, is not a problem - for sane people, anyway. It is when you can potentially pass off as a genuine soldier in service that there is a problem - in my country, a legal one. And wearing medals and rank badges you have not earned is a downright lie. So I'll wear my flecktarn or woodland sets without blinking when going for a forest walk. Or, a camo field jacket if going to get some groceries and the weather is nasty. But people who gear all the way for a mall trip are imo a bit off kilter.

>>33336958
can't help you with that.

>>33336982
the problem is they dress up to go to stores for some type of monetary gain (discounts or free shit), that's whats illegal about it. its just disrespectful to real combat vets to go and wear accommodations when you did nothing at all to earn them.

>>33332161
if they're stupid enough to think they can pull it off successfully, they're too stupid to do research on what they're impersonating first

>>33333202

Exactly, if you just said you'd been a basic grunt, had a medal or two, people probably wouldn't question it too much.

But these morons always look like they're trying to make body armour out of medals.

I don't give a shit about the people who are mentally ill and do it for attention or something. Like it's sad but I just ignore it. I only get pissed off at the people who are just using it to scam people into feeling sorry for them or giving them discounts and shit, or to pick up women (a very common one).

>>33332888
I occasionally see guys wearing a hat with a bunch of shit/pins but that's the extent for it here. Always Vietnam or older too

>>33337090
Fucking this. My dad was in Vietnam and he never talks about it but he has a Vietnam vet plate and a little POW/MIA bumper sticker. I drive a truck and he drives a Honda that gets god-tier gas mileage so whenever I need to haul ass somewhere I trade him the truck for his car and do like 30 over the speed limit. Never been pulled over once for it. Even ran a red light on accident once with a cop right behind me, he sped up to check my plate numbers and then backed off.

Almost makes me want to join the military to get my own veteran license plate. Hands down the best benefit of serving.

From what I understand, lying about military awards is illegal, but no one really enforces that law. If they were lying for profit, that would be fraud. They can be prosecuted for fraud, but lying about medals is a grey area were they can claim freedom of speech.

>>33337241
>From what I understand, lying about military awards is illegal

>>33338882
No actually quite the opposite. People usually dance around it for a bit like they want to ask, not quite to the point of thanking me, but they'll say something like "you served right?"

I'm pretty clean cut and apparently have a "been there done that" attitude, plus being in the mid 20's and just starting college, many people just assume I was in the military and am going on the GI bill I guess. I don't know why I give off that vibe but it's getting really annoying to have to keep repeating myself saying "no I was not in the military, not sure why you think that." It's weird because compared to every real vet I've ever met I don't act like one, I just chalk it up to young kids in college who don't know any better and assume knowing how to camp and read a map means you served in Afghanistan.

Keep in mind this happens with me just sitting in class with normal clothes and no milsurp on me whatsoever as well. I was in military school for a couple years but that's like saying being in kindergarten is equivalent to a masters in Engineering. It's kind of hard to explain but it only started happening to me when I went to college. Back in my old jobs, even ones where I would use milsurp stuff for some of my backcountry jobs on chainsaw crews and the like, nobody ever seemed to think that.

I dunno, I just feel like it'd be a nice patch to have.

>>33338985
I've been there. I'm mid twenties in college and get that all the time. Even when i was a skinny fag working at Walmart when I was 19 they asked if I had been in the army. I guess it's just the vibe and not looking like a hipster faggot or a frat boy.

I was a k9 handler in the AF and spent time attached to infantry units and have made lifelong friends with my mentally retarded grunts. One guy ill call T was a veteran of both oif/oef wth three combat deployments.

My buddy "T" had a wife he'd been with for at least a decade, she had children from a previous relationship and he adopted them after a while. I know what you're thinking, and no he isn't a cuck or anywhere near one.

Anyhow I would have never expected his wife would cheat. She was super family oriented, seemed to hold T in high regard and genuinely love him. One day T comes home from work and she has his shit packed and tells him to leave or she'll call the cops. She then moves her boyfriend in. T's former in laws didn't approve and still keep in contact with him to let him know what's going on with his kids.

This dude claimed to be a marine and they all believed it. Now it's coming out that he'd never served in any military and has been lying to everyone about his life. We started noticing the classic faker bullshit when he told the in laws he was force recon and can't talk about his time in. Now T's ex is trying to get him back and realized what a pathetic piece of lying shit the new dude is. T has got a new girlfriend who is hot AF and isn't taking the old haggard cheating bitch back.

Why do they always pick the most outlandish jobs and stories? Anyone that says, "I was special forces," I immediately to write off as full of shit. Then I swear they always start with the "classified" bullshit when you ask about deployments etc. They can tell you they were in Iraq and what fobs they've been to if they're for real. most of them are so eager to start lying about shit too. Most the time no one has even mentioned anything about the military and they just start blabbing about ridiculous shit no one believes.

North Korea is like stolen valor practiced on a constitutional level. Not one of these clowns has ever seen a second of combat - probably never even went through any true military training - they just award themselves as many medals as they see fit.

As a current active-duty E3 in USAF, I think Stolen Valor faggots are annoying. Sure the ones actually trying to scam people out of money are wrong and need to be prosecuted.

But the guy who is 400lbs and wearing metal on his cammies isn't fooling anybody and I don't see a need to rat out a guy who can't even convince someone's Grandma at Walmart that he REALLY IS Delta Force Rangers guise!

Now when Stolen Valor really DOES make me rage is the faggots that use fake uniforms and service and then go to official air shows. Then they are walking around a federal installation in uniform lying about a military record and in many cases getting close to aircraft that still have classified components inside.

That is unacceptable. That makes us vulnerable to espionage.

Every other time I have my CAC out to buy paint thinner or glue (fucking kids) or grabbing Whataburger on the way back from work in uniform someone whether it's the cashier or person next to me brings up that they have a spouse/sibling/cousin/in-law active-duty. And these people almost always know enough about their own loved one's uniform to know when some shitbag is cruising for cheap drinks.

This is why I didn't enlist.

I actually graduated early, and my certificate is supposed to be equivalent to a diploma, but the Army refused to acknowledge it as such. I actually set my recruiting office's all time high score on ASVAB and they offered me a fast track Aviation Warrant Officer path, but said I had to do a few semesters of community college first.

I went and did that, but then I decided I might as well just finish, get my degree, and go in as an officer instead, but my college side job became a career and I ended up dropping out to work in it instead.

>>33332888
When I had just commissioned, I was stashed at my college. I would occasionally stop and pick up a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop on my way to the NROTC unit. I wore NWUs to work though.

>>33342265

Texas A&M is a Senior Military College but of the 2500/3000 cadets, only like 50% chose to become Army officers.

>>33343459
Normally yes, but Texas A&M is a Senior Military College with automatic active duty and all the other goodies involved.

Their Corps of Cadets has operated independently from the US Army since the 1870s and as such they make their own rules.

After the first two years the cadets have to make the choice between the military and being a civilian upon graduation, but if they choose to stay civilian they are allowed to continue within the school's Corps of Cadets.

It's weird and there isn't much of a point to it.
They spend four years dressing in a uniform every single day, going to PT every single morning, and getting the everloving shit hazed out of them.
And half of them choose to swerve the military and do it for literally no gain.

>>33343498

There are veterans organizations for almost any unit, special forces/operations, organizations for specific MOS/Ratings (Like the Aviation Boatswains Mate Association or the Air Force Security Police Association, etc.), and so on.

Wouldn't say that. There was quite a bit of combat back when Communist NK was founded. Some really icky battles as well in a short amount of time. So if these old guys were part of these, they could very well have been awarded one medal for each of them and through the glorification of that "independence" war and shit it's somewhat plausible.

I think the vast majority of people who would do "stolen valor" are mentally handicapped. And so the people who get all up in their face with STOLEN VALOR STOLEN VALOR need to back the fuck off.

I think pulling one aside and quietly mentioning, "you know, if you weren't really in the service but are wearing that uniform it's disrespectful to the people who did serve" is plenty.

>>33346973
you know how combat vets can be though. its more than disrespect to claim all those medals when the person confronting you most likely relives a handful or more of their friends dying right next to them. It triggers shit in them and pisses them off.
