You might be a mall ninja

Please to tell me what a real Marine is, I have heard many, many people use that term. My brother, a retired Marine with 30 years of service, claims that there is no such thing as a real Marine and anyone that has served in the Corps is a Marine. I served 24 years in the Army, does that make me a real soldier? No, I was a soldier as millions of others were, but chose to make it a career.
 
In 400 posts, maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen anybody referring to anyone *who has actually served* as "not a real sailor/soldier/airman/marine". I've been in the Navy for 18 years so far, but I don't think that makes me any more of a "real" sailor than the guy who just got out of boot camp.

Were you replying to a particular post?
 
If you mount a back up optic on your weapon because your first choice may fail on the range while being attacked by the paper bandits.

If you must absolutely have it black!

If you wear your combat boots bloused while visiting the mall, with your BDU pants and 'I love my Glock' t-shirt. (actually witnessed this rare event)

Carry a pistol in a shoulder holster, with a back up pistol on your hip, and another on your ankle, a can of MACE on your belt, a tactical knife beside it and a stun gun. Just in case you need a little more than another magazine.

You think carrying another pistol is better than, two more magazines.

Actually on that note, thinking you need more than one back up magazine for a CCW.

Say a bolt action is a piece of junk because it takes you too long to empty the magazine.

Being an ass to someone because they don't like what you do. Examples, Not liking the AR, the 1911, or Mossberg 500 shotgun.

And my personal favorite, Having to decide between your green laser/flashlight, and a back-up sight, red laser/flashlight, normal flashlight, ammo carrier, snowcone maker, asphalt speader, coffee bean grinder, or espresso machine.:D

If you have ever seriously contemplated cashing out your ten-grand in your 401k to buy a Barrett.

(A guy I work with told me just that in a "If my wife wouldn't leave me" sort of way.)

Sadly, I once knew one of the people profiled on that site. He'd claimed inconsistent and questionable special forces endeavors, and he said he'd suffered serious injuries, but the pre-employment background check had shown no prior military experience.

I'd forgotten about him until he ended up in the Durango herald, and John profiled him on his site.
 
Somebody actually just showed me that picture today and I thought it appropriate for this thread, I know nothing of the guy pictured or the site I got it from. But any one could tell the uniform is bogus.

Not many real sf guys would mention that fact about themselves outside of their family or close friends. Most are quiet and unassuming.

After reading this board and thread today, I realize I am a fence sitting, red neck, Yankee mall ninja in Texas.

First time seeing this thread. GOOD STUFF.
 
Judging by all the requirements listed here I think the mere fact that I often carry a 40 year old Ruger security six .38spl, without extra ammo, in a simply rugged pancake holster as a CCW automatically disqualifies me for mall ninja status.

I do carry a folding knife too, if that helps any...............................................
