I have a friend from college who is in the reserves as a PJ...is he less of a PJ/SpecOps warrior than an active duty PJ?

The answer is a resounding NO.


And I will ask this: if I asked them the simple question of whether they were reserves/guard or active duty, would they just simply answer, or be an evasive weenie for a really, really long time?

I never said the guy didn't go through school, I have just questioned the extent of his exploits.

I've dealt with several reservists from Minnesota that were in Desert Storm/Desert Shield as MP's. They served honorably, but feel the need to sit in the bar and tell amazing stories.

I know they are amazing because I was way ahead of them, and my experiences were not exactly movie material.

TAK reminds me of those guys. He is quick to point out his personal exploits, yet evasive regarding what units he served with and when.

Ya can't have it both ways and expect people to believe you.
