Had a few recently. Guys pretending to be in the Army... Just had another one! Unfortunately for him, hes picked the wrong one here! (18 years in military tends to give you some knowledge)
So, why do people do this?? |

I have encounted a couple of walts. Asking about their postings usually sorts them out. One was going on about South Armagh but didnt know what XMG BBK or FKL stood for. He must have a new local pub as i have not seen him since. |

They think they can blind side folks with their words. Little do the know that the majority of the ladies on here as smart as fuck when it comes to bull shit. More fool the guys as they will be quickly shot down. Cling wrapped and boiled |

To try impress obviously, it is stolen valor and they should be ashamed! |

I don't think wr practice stolen valour here, but there are some sites that seek out and expose these walts. Some never served and some exaggerate their service, for different reasons. Entertaining though. . |

It's the ones who tip up on remembrance parades in SAS berets and a chest full of medals spanning conflicts over the last 100 years that make me laugh.
They never pretend to be RLC chefs or AGC clerks though do they? |

"And don't get me started on the "I nearly joined the army but..." crowd
Yeah, I nearly won the lottery, but..... "
"I don't like being told what to do", so I guess when their boss in their civvy job gives them a task they just chin him off as well? |

I guess it's for the same reason they lie about their age, height, endowment etc. They just don't think they're going to get anywhere simply being who they are. It's a bit sad really. |

I've met some 'walts' in clubs over the years, and I don't just mean army service liars. There was one guy who periodically changed his first name, location, and job just to try and impress people. In six months, he was a barrister, airline pilot, and personal trainer - wow, such achievements! And he thought none of us could see through his lies! I mean, I hate liars, but I hate 'walts' even more.
They take the limelight off people like me who fought in the great war, killed twice, and am still here to tell the story. |

"Nobody would swoon over a uniform if they caught a whiff of it when you come back off exercise 
Hahaha that smell stays with you for the rest of your life! "
I did a patrol competition a few years ago, it was one of the hardest things I've ever done and I had no idea feet could smell so bad till I took my boots off and peeled the zinc tape off  |

It's baffling to me. It just stinks of disrespect to those that do and and have served in the armed forces. I think I remember seeing something online about ex forces members in the United States exposing those that actually go as far as to falsely claim they were in the military publicly. |

They come out in November then fade back into the background again. |

"Of course you also have the Bloated Cumpers who inflate their own service and don’t stop talking about it. Shoe horning it into every forum post they can. "
Many service men and women are proud of their service and talking about it can be a show of pride I do feel a time and place to mention it and that's fine but why not show off our pride in what we have done |

There and to the left a bit |
Disrespectful, dishonourable and a whole lot more - mind you the guy a few weeks back that had a pic of a soldier killed 12 years ago in Afghanistan on his profile plumbed new depths!! He also had one that was actually a friend of Prince Harry.
Mercifully they were both removed eventually but he still has other military pics to sell himself, the authenticity of which I shan't comment on.
To make matters worse this guy had several verifications, so he's obviously been able to dupe some people, which makes it even worse. |

I've had several guys over the years I've been on here pretend to be firemen. I've been in the job for 25 years, I know when they're lying! Bit sad really. |

Having lived a while in the Salisbury area, I can safely say that not having been in the military has proved quite advantageous for me on this site.
Let them keep on with their game, I say. |

Read the Walt thread on Arrse if you want a morale boost - there are some wonderful tales there of lanterns improperly swung.
Deep respect to the poster above who noted that they're largely seasonal and short-lived. Rather like some of my sub's intended meets lol.
Prepare to move... |

The search for a Walt star and search for an un-ally star threads are legendary |
