How can I call my brother-in-law's bluff?

Question

My brother-in-law claims he used to be in the Navy Seals. We all know he is fibbing but what could I ask him to call his bluff? It's all in good fun. He says it with a grin and we rib him about it.

Thanks guys for all your cool answers. We're not a bunch of stuff shirts that's why we "bother".

Answer 1

Ask him:

1) What his SEAL qualification insignia is called (Special Warfare Badge, "Seal Trident," or "Budweiser") are acceptable.
2) Ask him what SEAL stands for (Sea Air Land)
3) Ask him how long BUD/S was (25 weeks)
4) Ask him WHERE BUD/S was (Coronado)
5) Ask him what BUD/S stands for [Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S)]
6) Ask him what SQT is (SEAL Qualification Training)
7) Ask him what SDV is (SEAL Delivery Vehicle)
8) Ask him what DOR is at BUD/S (Drop On Request)
9) Ask him where Otay is (Outside San Diego, CA...it's where SEALS attend Tactical Air Operations (TACAIROPS).

He should be able to rattle these off.

Answer 2

Wow, what a scummy kin. If the brother in regulation is emailing or calling, i'd shop those or checklist them. in case you have been chop up up on the time, Im useful your sweetie would be upset, yet would in all likelihood comprehend, yet considering the fact that he's blackmailing you, im assuming its considering the fact which you cheated. you in simple terms could settle on how long you would be held in slavery via this action & his blackmail. Im unsure which might upset your husband extra, the reality which you slipped years in the past or that his brother is making an attempt each way conceivable to get on your pants.

Answer 3

Ask him the name of the device that is worn on the uniform that designates him a Navy Seal!
Ask him if he ever served or trained with Cdr. Montel Williams, Cdr. Thomas Magnum and Admiral A.J. Chigwidden, where did they deploy and what operations they were involved in?

Answer 4

Ask him to see his discharge papers. Ask him his rank and what Countries he worked in during the time that he claims to be a navy Seal. Ask him to see his Military ribbons. If he tells you that his missions were classified then you have him right there. He is hiding something. What? And Why?

Answer 5

He better get on his knees and pray that God is merciful and kind if a true Navy SEAL ever finds out that he's faking having SEAL experience. That the quickest way to P*** those guys off.

But here's a few websites for you to check out. Be warned, if you report him he might get a knock on his door!

Answer 6

Ask to see his DD214 -- it will list his schools, qualifications and assignments.

If you feel like getting tricky, get a SF178 (or is it SF187) from the VA and get his signature. They will release all of his records to you with that.

Answer 7

go to the SEALS official website There is a wall of shame there.
Give them the details, they say if he went through BUD/S or not. If not, they try to verify his lies, then put his name on the wall of shame
If he is legit, they say the class he graduated with

Answer 8

Ask him if he did BUDS at the Bay or at the Creek. Then be prepared to laugh as he hems and haws for a while.

Answer 9

Why bother if " it's all in good fun" ?
Its not that hard for him to prove if its true so good luck to all.

For laughs your whole family could creat your own alter egos and put of skits ............. you could be a "Russian spy" and your sister could be " an Army Ranger" or a "border guard"

Sounds like you have a really "fun" family.

Answer 10

He is free to be an ******. Claiming to be something you are not is the kind of stuff that made Dr. Freud famous
