I served in the USMC for 4 years and the majority of the veterans at my civilian job never knew I served until some new employee started ragging on me about how he had served as a marine sniper and made comments about my never having been in the service.
I never served in war time missing the Vietnam war by a year and getting discharged 6 months or so before my unit was deployed in a few Reagan era actions.
I showed up the next day at work with my DD-214 and called on the new guy to produce proof he had been a USMC sniper. I had already verified through sources that he was an E-3 motarman and had never attended sniper school.
For a week following my outing of his lies he would go home sick everytime I walked into the worksite and then begged a transfer out of state within a week.
