the mundane and common phrases are what trips up 90% of them.....like you said, not the stuff that is seen on TV or movies, but the everyday, unit specific things that most people dont know about. even down to the way they carry themselves or the words they choose while in conversation..... the things that just "stick" with you after leaving the military goes a long way too..... I always have my jump wings on me in some capacity. just habit... they are pinned on my holster...lol.... i have a challenge coin in my wallet.... hilarious when someone makes a claim of AIRBORNE, or SF but has no clue what a challenge coin is when i pull it out..... I get free car tags, one veteran tag and one theatre tag. but you would be surprised at how many times ive heard the excuse of " oh i lost my 214 or all my records so cant do that now".... i answer with "its easy to get replacements from the department of veterans affairs".......lol.... or when someone says they have no pictures of their time in.... man, ive got a trunk load of pics from all over the place....ive got pics ive never even went back through and seen....lol.........
