I have been retired for almost 5 years and working around the DC area for a military organization, I tend to meet a lot of retired guys. Upon introductions I
NEVER mention what I did in the service. But I bet that 6 out of 10 guys represent themselves as former "Green Berets" or some other Special Ops type guy from other branches.
The guys I work with use to introduce me to other folks in meetings and such as their resident "Retired Green Beret" because of the clout the job carried and it seemed to make me an SME in everything military. I asked them to stop doing so after having to endure long stories of "I almost got selected, or I was selected then changed my mind" type BS stories. It's good to be amongst some REAL folks here, thanks Bro's.
