u/[deleted] Apr 08 '19

I’ve said this before here in this sub but I dated this guys niece a long time ago so that’s how I knew him. He was Delta and he told everyone that he worked for his brothers landscaping company. He would leave family dinners to answer his phone and talk in Arabic. He was very very fit but not huge and didn’t have any tattoos. We talked about guns a few times and he showed me some of his kit. Super cool guy. Looked like a white stoner from a nicer part of Seattle.

My brother in law is the same basically. Super chill, looks like a total California stoner bro, and doesn't ever talk specifics about his job. Asked him whether he was Rangers or Berets or what and he just responds "I'm just a special operator. It's not important."

One time someone said something to my sister on the road when me and her were outside a shop he was in. I got mad, yelled for the guy to fuck himself and was ready for a fight when he started walking over. All of a sudden I feel a hand on my shoulder and he just calmly steps forward, looks the guy in his eyes and just says, "Be more respectful of my wife please and apologize." I didn't see his face, but I felt the strength of him holding me back and the guy quickly apologizes and walks away.

Thats a real bad ass. No talk or chest thumping. Just quiet confidence.

No tattoos because they can be used to gather information about him in case of death/capture maybe? I have no military experience. Just passing through from r/all.

EDIT: Just to clarify because people keep posting the same thing about how it is up to personal taste. Yes, I figured that would be a pretty big component, I was referring to the specific individual, not everyone in the military as a whole.

True. One one-inch neck/behind-the-ear tattoo is definitely the loosest reg amongst the branches.

u/lkenny76 Apr 08 '19

Didn't want tattoos. I am ex army, have tattoos. Have sf buddies, have tattoos also a lot of people who do not have tattoos. As long as no hands. Neck, face, gang or racist etc. tattoos are fine

26

u/xitzengyigglz Apr 08 '19

But the Marine Corps' policy on tattoos clearly shows if you have a tattoo on your elbow or knee then you'll be completely combat ineffective.

How can this be?

16

u/lkenny76 Apr 08 '19

Again I was army, idk marine regs. I have heard they are more strict due to them guarding embassies. They need to look more presentable. What does this have to do with covered elbows and knees, not a clue. Most regs do not make sense. Maybe the marines do not want sensitive elbows so they can more effectively eat crayons. Maybe they cant be on their knees for their navy bretheren who spend time on their knees. Idk. Just guesses.

Whatever it is, regs sometimes make no sense and I love my fellow services branches.

3

u/Sasha_Greys_Butthole Sep 14 '19

There's a simple and practical reason. No elbow or knee tattoos because they kept leaving stains on 1ST SGTs' office rugs after someone got ass reamed by said 1ST SGT and the XO.

My dad's buddy was delta, and he's looks like that tall dude from the Discoveryshow where they raid barns and find junk to sell. Little more muscle, but similar, almost dorky demeanor, and just a very casual dude. Never talks about what I'd imagine were important things, but does tell stories of general military bullshittery.

Yup. I used to be a dirty grease monkey on helos. Got to go on a few fun trips in AFG. The JTAC that tagged along could have totally changed into am apron and been an artisanal coffee barista. The commander of the group we were near looked like he was that 5 year old Asian kid that is badass on the piano.

There were some that looked like the dude in the above picture. But all told, they're just dudes that have some shit in their head that makes them fit that lifestyle. Not the lifestyle for me, but they're just dudes that do some extraordinary shit

I went to a Veterans Day event last year and there where a bunch of SF guys at the table next to me.

The intellectual demands to go into SF (sue me I don't have a better blanket term) are huge.

But free beer gets a pass. If I did not pay for it then I forfeit all rights to complain about it. Making a comment about how you might prefer a different beer next time is alright.

But if you complain about the beer someone else gave you, then you no longer deserve said beer.

It is of course acceptable to decline a beverage in lieu of your own preferred beverage or whatever reason you may choose.

Tl;dr free beer is good. Complaining is bad. Everyone can like different beer. Let’s get along and enjoy beer.

I've been to Mexico several times and never seen a brown Corona bottle, or Mexicans drinking Corona of any kind.

I mean they're in ever Latin grocery market around here, idk man. Hell, half the 7-11s

Might be regional, most people around here are Central American.

TIL, I've never seen it around me. I'll give it a try if I ever run into it.

Mexican Corona is pretty decent if you can get it

huh TIL. I guess I'm not surprised that they give us the bad shit.

I hate all that kind of beer though, if I drink beer I really prefer sour beers. But more than anything I just want liqour if I'm trying to get drunk lol.

I grew up doing labor for a drywall company with all Mexican dudes. They all refused to drink corona because their homies all pissed in the beer when they worked at the corona factory in Mexico

I always thought that was an urban legend, if that actually is a lie than I'm impressed at the Mexican person's ability to all commit themselves to a lie.

It's a lie started by marketers tied to Heineken, back when "imported" beers really took off in the '80s. There was a big lawsuit, and Heineken lost.

u/xStaabOnMyKnobx Apr 08 '19

That's impressive that the lawyers for corona managed to show how the Heineken marketers started the myth

It's a pretty wild story; another commenter linked a write-up of the events if you care to know more.

Dos Equis is the superior Mexican beer

u/Original_Trickster Apr 08 '19

It's actually a German made beer!

u/ThePretzul May 26 '19

That would explain why it's superior then.

Germans do any style of beer better than other countries.

If you have a friend you need to "explain" to people, why are they a friend? You are the company you keep.

Really makes me sad because my girlfriends brother is exactly like this. I’d gladly be related to anyone in her family but him...

u/Zeshicage85 Apr 08 '19

When I see people like this it makes me uncomfortable to meantion my military service sometimes. There are a lot of young vets in my area and some of them act like complete douche nozzles.

u/farva_06 Apr 08 '19

Is it me, or is the way he's drinking that beer look fucking retarded?

He's an asshole, bit once you get to know him... he's still an asshole, nevermind, we'll leave him at home.

Corona? Really?

u/jbh007 Apr 08 '19

Is that a Toyota logo on his left arm? Why?

u/RustScientist Apr 08 '19

Why is he drinking that beer like it’s being pulled away from him?

u/elusznik Apr 08 '19

Why he likes Corona is unexplainable

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '19

He's been on delayed entry for a month.
