Five Signs A Guy Is Bluffing His Military Service Chatter

 1.  He keeps bringing up his service time, and one day....you ask what his MOS (duty or job description), and he can't answer you.

2.  He talks about being in x-battle, but can't tell you which unit he was part of.

3.  You ask the guy when he started/finished boot-camp, and he avoids the answer.

4.  The guy keeps talking about military service but can't cite things because it was all classified.

5.  Almost every single story that he tells....connects to the CIA or special operations like the SEALs.  

I worked with a guy who retired in the 1990s, and upon retirement....joined up with some local VFW group.  About three months into this participation (mostly drinking at their local bar), he came to establish that several guys who were VFW members were either total frauds, or were kicked out of boot-camp.
