Wannabe?

While in the "passage way", "1st Deck", this p.m. I ran into the Command Master Chief, a friend and paratrooper also. He was talking with one of the electricians and the Master Chief says, "Tommy, this guy was Army too, a helo pilot." I said "Cool, did you fly "Slicks or Guns"? He looked at me like I had Crawfish coming out of my ears and says, "Man, I flew Huey's."

He then told the CMC that he was a Warrent Officer but when he told the CO to "kiss his ass and f _ _ k off," they made him a Sergeant. I asked when he was in and he says 73' to 89', and the CMC says before I came up he said he was in Vietnam as a Huey Pilot.

Now my bullshit antenna are at full extend......I'm betting WANNABE!

Please vote as you feel.

Had a guy in a bar, with a CIB RVN hat on tell me he couldn't tell me where he was in Nam cause it was still secret. Then he told me he did "recon" with a mech. pathfinder unit. Then my friend Jimmy dropped him at the bar

As a Special Ops Secret truck driver I can't tell you where I drove my deuce and a quarter because then I would have to kill you. After telling my top sgt to kiss my a** they busted me to driving top secret jeeps. My route tickets are still classified National Top Secret. Hmm think that lie will get me a free beer in a bar? What is with these assholes? the "military consultant" for one of the national cable news turns out to have spent a total of 46 days in Basic before being discharged. he claimed to be a retired Lt Col with combat awards. When we came home most of this country didn't want anything to do with us and now it seems like every time you turn around some lying jack-off is trying to claim to be one of us. Usually I just listen to their lies and laugh at them.

Might be an interesting question to ask what kind of engine throttle control he had on the Huey bird collective. The only kind they had was a manual twist throttle sort of like a motorcycle but if one never went riding in that vintage of bird they wouldn?t know the collective control from bird droppings. Later Military birds had auto engine throttle control and were a bit easier to fly as I understand. So I?m betting on a sea story or a severe case of amnesia. Strange as to how so many supposed VN Vets get a rip roaring case of amnesia. I met a fellow once who didn?t know what Army unit he was in. No one ever told him was the cover story. Well, oh tay Buckwheat, got it. .
