Alright, here's the situation. I have been a member on a game called Ultimate Dominion for three years, it's a free text based RPG, really cheap and childish but I like the chat, people from all over the world on there. The argument is this, there is a member claiming to be a former Marine, I've been in heated debate with him because I know he is not a Marine based on the following:

1. He does not know the meaning of Semper Fidelis.

2. He does not know even the first two lines to The Marines' Hymn.

3. He does not know where he went to basic if indeed he did.

That and others, I personally think this guy is a fraud, what are the opinions of the other members of these forums? I know it's not that big a deal and it is just a game, but I think the actions taken by this person are despicable.

sounds fishy

I think that's pretty low, but you shouldn't get all worked up about it unless he claims he did heroic deeds as well...

ppl shouldnt try to say they are something that their not. its disrespectful to anyone that has served, is serving, or will serve...but hey thats just my opinion.

That's why I got so worked up over this.

yeah i dont blame you.

He is full of ****. I will never in my life forget where I went to basic. I will probably never forget my drills either.

It's an honor when people actually pretend to be you. hahaha.

there it just something you just don't do...

haha as a Marine, I promise you all Marines, regardless of how old or how long ago they were actively participating in the Corps, would know where he or she went to boot... Forgetting the meaning of Semper Fi or not know the two lines of the hymn are bad, but not knowing where he or she went to bootcamp is the biggest indicator. thats just something one does not forget...
