I don't know you from Adam, so declaring you aren't a Base Commander had nothing to do with intelligence...you could be smart enough for that for all I know. But several things you said, which I'm sure you'd agree with if you really are a Marine, just didn't add up to Base Commanding Officer.
1) When I jabbed you about a typo, you replied with 'I was a grunt, not a desk pussy' or something along those lines. Well, for one thing the Officers who make it to that level are Super anal retentive and are way too detail oriented for the amount of typos I see from you (not an insult on you, just personal observation of them).
2) Those level of Officers would never fall back on an excuse (like I was a grunt) if called on a typo... ESPECIALLY if they really were a grunt Offficer as this would be almost like accepting that less is expected of them because they're a grunt, which is 100% against pretty much any Marine's mentality.
3) Finally, a Base Commanding Officer wouldn't call someone a desk pussy, as the majority of someone at that level's time is spent behind a desk, doing mad high level paperwork where there can't be any mistakes.
So anyway, glad you aren't claiming that cause I would have never let that go. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt on being a Marine since you did capitalize it every time you used it, but keep fucking with me and I'll keep pushing back...I'd rather be banned for life before I'd stand by and let someone question my service.
