BIG HEADLINE posted:Don Shipley (a guy who has a very enthusiastic hobby of taking 'fake SEALs' to task) has a great line about the "I can't talk about my time in the service/with the teams because it's classified": Ops are classified, service is not. Anyone who says their military record is classified is 100% full of poo poo, 100% of the time. Yeah. I work for Veteran's Affairs and it still amazes me when people try to tell me "I was a SEAL man, now I have PTSD" when I literally have their entire personnel file in front of me showing that they never even made it to Coronado. BTW, the graduating lists from service schools, such as BUD/S are not classified and are considered public records.

Grip it and rip it posted:Is there something about Naval mines where they couldn't just plant explosives on it and do a controlled detonation? We're they just trying to do things as cheaply as possible? I think they were trying to use it to clear a mine field? This would have been during the Yugoslav war and it seems that they were doing it for effect....

I was that dude in the Navy, except it was when they were phasing out the dungarees (bell bottom blue jeans). Dammit if those weren't some of the most comfortable pants I ever owned and they made my rear end look great. Come to think of it, that may have been a design feature....

MA-Horus posted:A battalion of loving Brads could kill off a WW2 German army. Hell, it was proposed to arm soldiers with longbows as late as the revolutionary war. Also, aircraft from 1991 had a much higher operating altitude than even an ME 262, not to mention added things like RADAR and satellite reconnaissance... We could probably get berlin in a week with our post Vietnam military, no need for stealth super planes. The wehrmacht wasn't even fully mechanized. It's such a dumb argument to even consider, we got so much better at killing each other efficiently and creatively during the cold war.

Elviscat posted:In TAPS today: The rep was right though. It's considered a conditional discharge so long as they completed their first period of active duty. The 214 will usually say something like "continuous honorable service from 01012000 to 01012004" or something like that, even though their final period was less than fully honorable. So even though they may have gotten a BCD or straight up dishonorable, they would still be able to get most of the same benefits as someone who's 214 said honorable. That said though, any job that provides some sort of perk for veterans is going to want to see the 214, which will indicate their final character of discharge and the reason.

Dick Burglar posted:Well of course--the pilot's an officer and they're enlisted. (Edit: except the ensign, but ensigns are plenty disposable too.) The ensign is definitely hosed (not Leavenworth level, but never in a command position above the auxiliary janitorial unit). The chiefs will at most get reduced to E-6 and allowed to retire with their high three.

Internet Wizard posted:It really says something about how carefully we screen people that he was able to move to active duty 4 months after participating in a coup attempt. But it would qualify as a fraudulent enlistment right? Knowing of a disqualifying factor for active duty and knowingly failing to disclose that upon enlistment, would potentially be subject to punishment under the UCMJ. Not a JAG, but maybe he'll get some time in Leavenworth. Or at least a dishonorable. Maybe.

Jimmy Smuts posted:gently caress this earth. If you're looking at service connection, generally, they'll just take your word for it. Everyone is presumed to have noise exposure regardless of MOS and if you tell the VA that your tinnitus started in service, they'll believe you. The only hurdle is not getting a lovely examiner for your hearing eval who wants evidence of it, but pretty much every time a denial of tinnitus gets overturned on appeal.

Love these guys. It's always "I was a SEAL, a shadow warrior so all my service records are classified." Then you find that they were never within 1000 miles of Coronado and were constantly in a weight management program. You can literally call the Naval Special Warfare school to see if someone ever graduated BUD/S as it's public record. Only about 1% of the U.S. population serves, it's stupid in this day and age to lie about your service when just getting the Veteran status is more than most others.
