New Breed of Poser

[Defend]

Had to share this. Today I met a poser. Not any kind of poser mind you, but a RECRUITER poser. When I asked this guy what unit he was with, he told me he worked for a recruiting station I happen to have the number for in my phone. They don't know who he is. As I am challenging why he is wearing the ACU without the rank on his chest (claimed it fell off), he is taking the ignition out of a car in the parking lot. I didn't even get as far as asking why he wasn't wearing the USAREC badge.

Maybe you law enforcement folk can explain this part to me. I called the police, and they ask me "is it his car?". How the heck am I supposed to know? We have a poser playing with wires under the steering wheel and I'm supposed to know if it is his car!? They seemingly grudgingly sent somebody out, and fortunately it was his car, however when they asked if he was in the military he said no, but he was a vet. Scared to lie to the police?

Bet he wasn't expecting the cops to show up - and he better think twice before claiming to be something, recruiter or anything else, that he isn't.

There had been a lady with him, driving another vehicle, who seemed nervous as soon as I started talking to him. When I confronted him after talking to the recruiting station, she made up a new recruiting station (in the town I live in.. again not smart). He told her to shut up, and as soon as I called the police she took off in a hurry. Gee, did your boy friend lying about being in the service nearly get you busted for something?

Scumbags.

Curiouse was this on a military installation. I seen many poser's who get access on base to use the Exchange and PX. They don't screen that very well at the registers when checking out.

... and these guys are all overweight desk jockeys. Think he would have thought of something a little more high-speed if he was gonna bother to pose in the first place.

Hey now, I worked as a recruiter for a short time after my last mobilization, and I'd like to think I'm a fit, hard-charging kinda guy. At least that's what my gf tells me. ;)

Then again, the others in the office weren't in the same shape I was, and sent me off to local colleges as they sat behind their desks.

Hmm, round is a shape . . .

I'll just assume you're talking about my former co-workers. Then again, when one assumes ...

That's why I put it in Comedy Zone... I mean come on, recruiter??? He's underachieving for a dirt bag. To a hilarious degree. :p

This was not on a base - around 45 minutes from the nearest. My best guess is he doesn't usually pose as a recruiter. He may have suspected he was found out as soon as I asked him what unit he was in. Since he seems to be into the "current" gear (He was after all in ACUs and wearing desert boots), he may have even noticed my boots and started squirming.

The restaurant I work at gives a 50% discount to military personnel. I dare him to walk in there when I'm working and expect a discount.
