Where I work at now we have another poser we call him Rambo. He claims he was high speed ranger green beret. He asked me one night why I never went ranger school. We were talking about military schools, I just attended Benning infantry osut and then jump school and then at bragg I got my eib. This is before we figured out Rambo was a turd I said screw that I figured out real fast at 18 years old in 84 I wanted just to get my three years over with. but he claims as well that before army he was marines in Lebanon. And he claim to be in Beirut when the barracks were attacked, on my shift we have a guy who was in Beirut as marine grunt but was on navy medical ship at time of bombing. And he was asking him Rambo what outfit he was with and that is when we figured out guy was bull shit. My friend who was Beirut to this day over beers one morning told me he still feels guilty that he was not there when barracks were attacked. And at that moment to see a 47 year old man crying over guilt having breakfast beers. I just hugged him put my arms around him he feels guilty he was recovering from pneumonia aboard medical ship. My time was all peaceful 84 to 87 after I broke my ankle army pcs me to west Germany. Germany was totally different than 82nd. Like the movie animal house I tell people but we had crew served weapons and 50 cal m60 and m16 when we were not playing soldier at Graf or hoehnsfelt or on some training like reforger or something we were partying hard.
