In my travels around the country, I've run into quite a few people who said they were ASA or ASA/NSA. (Most ASA never worked for NSA.) More than I would really expect!
I've never found one that gave me any reason to doubt them. Maybe because were were a relatively small group in a high security environment. It would be very easy to 'out' them, if they were posers.
.. it's always easy to spot someone who isn't really a trigger puller, they don't realize the best stories have nothing to do with combat. In the end everything that's "classified" is almost always techno b.s.
Your just saying that because you can't tell us about it.....Best one I've heard at a bar; "I'm an in flight missile technician" and sadly, some people believe them. My brother's former ANGLICO and I'm an 11B in 10th MTN... it's always easy to spot someone who isn't really a trigger puller, they don't realize the best stories have nothing to do with combat.

The fun stuff is the conversations on guard, the pranks inside the trucks and tents... the moments of (almost) complete innocence in a mundane existence.
At least that's what we always talk about in this sub-arctic wasteland.

I did have one of those "I can't tell you missions" once, of course, I can't tell you about it! *S*
Oh you just brought back a few quick "ville" memories. Yeah, THOSE missions have to stay quiet.
Makes you wonder if the person who created it was joking or full of $hit?
Good thing I never saw any women in my line of work when I was part of the Big Green. I have a LEO friend that always asks "What is she doing off dispatch?" whenever he sees a woman cop on patrol.Ok...so, let me get this straight...a reservist shows up at the base housing office, says that he's an aid to the Chief of SpecOps Command, that his boss said he needs base housing immediately but he can't produce his orders because they're top secret, and that didn't raise any flags for the woman in charge of base housing? She's an idiot.
