   For those of you who haven’t seen Ronin:

   Spence [Sean Bean] claims to be an S.A.S. veteran based in Hereford. In Bravo Two Zero, Bean plays an S.A.S sergeant and mentions that Hereford is his home base. Hereford (on the England/Wales border) is the site of the S.A.S. regimental headquarters, known as Stirling Lines.

   I grew up with a big-talker. Most of his stories were embellished beyond belief, but always had a kernel of truth. And he always “pre-bragged” about how he was gonna catch the biggest fish when we were heading out camping. We’d give him a hard time and tell him he was full of it. Funny thing though, he always DID catch the biggest fish…

   We don’t tell him he’s full of it anymore.

   Talk it up Jeff, aim for the sky. You just might hit something big.

   “In the meantime, this guy should be thinking, if he’s so good why is he looking for a job with us?”

   That there are large numbers of the power “elite” who would NEVER think this way is what will inevitably lead to their downfall. ;-7

   I learned a long time ago too be humble and not to seem prideful as per the Sisters Of St. Joseph. Then I learned that approach got me nowhere fast, to blow my own horn and most importantly when given a compliment not to try to talk the praiser out of it. Just smile and say thank you.

   As Muhammad Ali demonstrated, if you can actually deliver, it ain’t braggin’.

    What - that friendly helicopter he shot down wasn’t big enough?

    Kind of easy there: because the private sector pays about five times what the CIA does.

    Ok time to impress with his skillset: show him how fast he can tweet and operate an I-phone.

    OK, so he’s impressed the top levels of the “other guys”. Great. How about the side trying to protect American interests?

    This seems to be the typical interview of the fraud college kid trying to impress. Usually ends up as the wrong impression.
