There is an inverse relationship between what someone has accomplished while in the military and how much they brag about it after they get out.

Yep, the ones that brag after their service usually haven't done dick while they were in. Also, a good way to spot a bullshitter is simply asking what their MOS number was.

For the uninitiated, what is MOS?

It's also service specific. Air force calls it an AFSC instead of MOS.

Yeah, but the Airman know what people mean when they ask, because no one else knows what an Air Force Specialty Code is outside of us.

I usually just dumb it down if a Marine or Soldier asks my Mos and say that I was in IT because I'm not sure that they can handle any words that aren't acronyms.

Just talk slow and enunciate, and if steam starts coming out of their ears, throw them some crayons to munch on and you'll be fine.
