Does this guy look like former Force Recon?

Sorry for the crap photo. I punched it up as best I can with Photoshop but it's a cell pic and I can only do so much.

Here's the story:

Two years ago Matt and I had to renew our cell plans. After talking with Twilla a bit regarding her phone, we decided to consider dropping Verizon and go with AT&T for the iPhone.

We go into our local store and we are greeted by this guy in the picture.
He's a nice enough guy but by no stretch of the imagination is he active in any way, shape or form.

Well, we're in there, shooting the shit about phones, trying phones, talking plans etc and the conversation wanders to personal BS. And BS is exactly what we got! We played along.

He starts with "geek speak" like comparing the phones and other geeky items you can buy on the 'net. It winds up gearing toward Sporks and the various metals you can now buy them in. And then he blurts out, "I go hunting on a regular basis, naked with nothing but a knife and spork. It keeps me in good practice from my former Force Recon days."

Now you KNOW I'm holding in a laugh.

Matt brings up that he's ex navy and how he personally witnessed one SEAL take down and disarm 6 Marines who were acting like smart asses on the boat.

Well our buddy says SEALS are nothing compared to Force Recon. "I was once down in Colombia on a mission to eliminate all friendlies in the area. It was gruesome, but it had to be done to protect the mission."

Sure you did pal. We always send our Special Forces to kill other soldiers to keep them quiet.

OK at this point we HAD to leave. WE HAD TO just so we can laugh.

We bowed out, shook his soft, small, un-calloused hand and nearly peed ourselves all the way to the truck. This guy's handshake was so weak I thought I bruised his knuckles.

Now, keep in mind I didn't know Force Recon was a real SO team in the Marines. I thought it was only a video game. Matt explained that they did have a team in real life and in no way was this fat, gelatinous blob of a goon in ANY military branch never mind Special Ops.

Every time we pass the AT&T store we wonder how "Force Recon" is doing these days. That's what we nicknamed him between us.

So, Saturday we're in the diner and who do we see? That's right - Force Recon chowing down on a big greasy burger.

He looks like a comic book nerd.

Any time you see some guy whip out his Johnson, and start beating it against the nearest desk, its time to take pictures. And you have to be real careful, because this is something that will cause other accompanying males to do exactly the same thing, just to prove that not only do they have the biggest Johnson, but can take the punishment longer.

Time to leave and have a good laugh.
