Hey - I met all those guys - they all claimed to have been LRRPs or Tunnel Rats or Recon or such - you mean they were lying - what's this world coming to! 
One of my favorites is one of the awards clerks at 5th SFG HQs who added his name/ASN to some requests for orders for the CIB and valor prior to DEROS to Fort Bragg - was receiving the award for a BSM on Alamo Field during a 7th SFG payday formation - the Adjutant was reading the award and there was a stir in one of the company formations - an NCO who had been on the team involved in the action was back in the 7th and went ballistic when he heard the citation being read - the clerk got busted and sent packing. 
Lesson to all the wannabes - you never know who you're talking to out here or who's listening.
