    Yep, the ones that brag after their service usually haven’t done dick while they were in. Also, a good way to spot a bullshitter is simply asking what their MOS number was.

      Unless they were in the Navy. I don’t remember ever actually using the NEC code for my job. It used to be 3373 (I think, don’t quote me on that) but I know they changed it to a new format recently.

      I left as ETN2. Maybe it was different for other rates. A lot of the things we did were “special” because we were a bunch of really smart morons.

      Sounds American.

        It’s is. Each military designates their members by the operational (occupational) specialty. Each Service does it different. For example, Navy doesn’t use MOS in conversation, Army does.
