Lying about Military Experience

[LJDRVR]

Here's another one from the lads at pprune:

Ask him if he was impressed with the AMLCD in the two seater. Post his reply on this, and I'll let you know.

Ask him!

Who gives a flying F***? If you already know he's an expert bull-sh*tter then just walk away from him and be done with him. Life's too short to deal with people like that. Either way, this will go badly. You'll either prove him a liar, which you already said you think he is, and then he'll probably want to fight you or kill you, or he'll be telling the truth and you'll be the douchebag. Let it go. Unless, of course, there's a woman at stake. Or money. Then, by all means, go for the kill.

Who gives a flying F***?

We do simply because it is fun to expose posers. Witness the ruckus over 350Drvr, or whatever that guy's screen name was! :laugh: Our lives are petty and shallow; we need entertainment.

Ask him if he knows what PAN! PAN! PAN! means.

I would think everybody knows that, unless there is some inside joke about it?

 

[Pistlpetet]

Start simple...get more complicated if needed.

I think the Pan Pan Pan question would be a good start.

1. Ask him where he was deployed when he flew in Op Warden.

2. Ask him what would be the first thing a pilot would do before stepping out of the squadron ops building, in Oman, to go fly?

Answers:
1. Incirlik, Turkey

2. Look both ways down the flightline to ensure none of his squadron mates were flying at 10' AGL trying to dust him off as he walks out to the jet to fly.

Ask him how many times he was defeated in ACM. If he tells you never you know he was a fighter pilot.

 

[PHX767]

Does he say "jag whar" (2 syllables) or "zhog u ahr" (3 syllables) (I know I've butchered this badly)

I've never heard a Brit pilot say it any way but the latter.

Could also ask if he knows what a "roller" is.

Another question

Ask him what frequency in the UK you can hear "Practice Pan, Practice Pan, Practice Pan".

Answer: 121.5 and typically on weekends. It will drive you bloody bonkers!

Well, maybe Jag pilots don't work weekends....:beer:

HA! I was drinking with some RAF Tornado pilots a few months ago and one of them would order FIVE bottles of Budwieser at a time, and put them in his pockets to warm them up so he could "tolerate" it! Kinda strange guys but they can party!

That's funny. I was in Ireland a couple of weeks ago and the kids there couldn't get enough of the Budweiser. I kept telling them stories of mullets and nascar but couldn't break their resolve for the "king of beers". No big deal, seeing Guiness and Murphy's for less than 3 dollars a pint put me in my happy place.
