This man does NOT like Jocko...

[The Quartermaster]

I know him, have taken some classes. He lives about 50 miles away, and his training is really very top-notch and innovative.

That said. He's gone all-in weird with BJJ. It's a great sport, but he's gotten pathological, treating it like some mystic art.

He's out. Retired. Classes feels like work most likely, not enough of a routine or purpose. I suspect BJJ is his silent form of PTSD therapy and also a newfound purpose for himself.

He has a cult-like following. He's accessible. Unlike Pat McNamara (with whom I have also trained, and I also like), or even Vickers, who are stand-offish. McPhee is personable and responsive. He also has some blind spots; but then, don't we all?

So um, since this thread is kinda like a Stolen Valor thread. As I have played this sport, and I work in this sport. I can tell you 80 tackles can't happen by an individual. 30 is possible. Our tackles leader in MLR this year had 27 in a match a few times. But a Median tackle rate for a high workrate player in 15-18.

So, Shrek, where you at?

The Anti Hero guys mentioned him as a possible future topic. One of the hosts is a retired Delta guy. Assaulter, sniper, recce, etc. The one topic about Shrek they briefly mentioned was his account of singleton missions, but that was it and they moved on.

I don't know the Delta guy, but he is a A/3/20 alumni. His senior Echo on their ODA was in our SIGDET for a few months right out of the Q Course. It's funny to hear him mention a few names I recognize, but again, I don't know the guy.

To draw a comparison; this is the same shit Kennedy did.

Started building a following off of their SF/SOF stories, which greatly ballooned into this superhero COD bullshit.

I believe Shrek and his "zero" story in the Q, or his PT stories during unit selection.

This recent shit about him killing hundreds of taliban in a day during Tora Bora? The rugby story you highlighted?

Shit reeks.

Im glad I never did anything significant downrange. It’s easy to not over-inflate when you’re multiplying your stories by zero. :)

I can believe someone threw 50 grenades if they were in a defending position, but that's a shit moment possibly gonna be dead moment. 80 tackles though? Not believable. I can get down with some hyperbole like 25 tackles/game in a beer league setting a beer league record...but this?

My old French professor's story about losing his rolex in Vietnam is significantly more believable...

 

[Box]

One time I drank 50 grenades while losing my Rolex 80 times in a single game...

 

[ThunderHorse]

Are you certain you weren't jumping on the grenades for your wing men?

 

[The Quartermaster]

As a 92A, I had to google what a grenade was.

They should have said NSN 1330-00-133-8244

If it's not a 00-909-2483 on a DA 2765, then it's just not worth it.

And you're thinking of an NSN for a 92Y, the one with a shorter AIT than a 92A

Certainly, but not definitely.

Man, I guess we better get into a new war soon... Especially if the best we can do is start head hunting a bunch of SEALs, Green Beret's and D-boys in our off time...20 years after the fact.

Some of this "be exact to the very closest fact" bullshit is exactly that...bullshit. Story's get bigger and longer as you gain age, that 20lbs bass I caught 30 years ago, was before social media... So I'm good

Seeing that you're infantry, everyone would believe you if you bragged about taking a 400lb whale home from the bar. No proof required.

I too was once an 11B, BTDT.

I came in second, almost won the pool (IYKYK). The next morning when I had realized what I had done because I was sober, I rolled over, saw her and shivered because dang she was fatty fat. She must have thought I was cold so she pulled me closer. Not my best adventure ever from the bar of bad ideas outside of Camp Edwards, MA.

Nope, definitely was not.

I stabbed Ho Chi Minh with mess kit fork. It’s classified.

The thing is, most of us here would believe you if you said it happened. #BadAss #OG

No shit there I was, knee deep in handgranade pins, down to my last round... When I fixed my bayonet and charged that heiferlope back into her closet...

Bitches be crazy.
