None of that is relevant, but I'll play.
Ranger-qualified Army Infantryman (primary MOS), still currently active duty, with a combat tour each in Iraq and Afghanistan for a combined 27 months in a combat theater, 10 of which were spent in a special ops task force wherein I conducted at least 15 air-assault ops into the shittiest locations in Iraq from Jan-Oct '08, and I had an additional 5 years overseas in Germany. I have the bronze star, earned the EIB, Airborne, Air-assault tabs, had the highest pistol marksmanship score in my last infantry Battalion, and shot a perfect 40 of 40 with an M4. I was Director/OIC of range safety for 2 years at the largest live-fire training area outside of CONUS (Grafenwoehr Training Area), with the formal certification to build ranges and approve live-fire maneuver to army standard for everything from a slingshot, to naval gunfire, to 2k+ lbs ordinance from fixed wing aircraft.
Here's my intro thread where I talk about my personal firearm situation and ambitions:

Did that check enough boxes? Now, who the fuck are you? Let's measure your dick now. Aside from calling yourself a deer sniper, why do you deserve to be here?
First of all, don’t try to dick measure on here unless you have a really big dick, and you don’t.
Nobody gives a rat's ass that you went to ranger school. Unless you are wearing a tan beret (which you aren't) GTFO and be average somewhere else.
Whoa, 27 months in theater, wow. 27 months nugging it out on a FOB is so damn hard. And you were in a SOTF? Holy shit!
Seriously, stop trying to pull this "I was kinda like a SOF guy except I got none of the training nor did I have the balls to go through the training pipeline to be one, but when I am on the internet I will play like I am the same thing as an operator to impress the chicks.) You have no idea how many guys we see do this and it is so fucking unoriginal that it should be illegal merely because it bores folks.
"But I have the Bronze Star" No one gives a fuck unless it has that little V on it, but you probably wouldn't know what that means anyway. You can get a BSM for being in a senior enlisted billet overseas and sitting on your fat ass eating pringles in the STOC all day.
You spent time in Germany? I'm sure that was so hard. In fact, it probably means you were one of the worst rear echelon support guys ever. I was supported by some guys in Germany who couldn't be bothered to leave their apartments, BMWs and the bars to make sure that my team was even being sent food where we were deployed.
Highest Pistol marksmanship? Based on what I have seen of line infantry guys who don't shoot their pistols much even if they are lucky enough to get them issued, it means that you are just barely able to not shoot your dick off. Although, considering how small yours is it is unlikely you could hit it anyway.
Your formal cert for range construction merely confirms that you were one of those worthless REMF NCOs who no one wanted on a line unit, let alone your vaunted Special Ops task force, so they stuck you on the largest base they could find and told you to shut up and build ranges for the guys who actually go out and do things.
Shut the fuck up, get a little humble, stop trying to "big dick" everyone here when you are new, and we might let you stay.
After all, we can always use a support guy to build ranges for those of us who actually shoot our guns.
