Totally creepy. So does he go on the same rant in the store "smile, you're being recorded", at red light cameras .... I wonder if I would have had the wits to say when he asked if I'm recording now "well, it's off right now but everything's already been mobile downloaded/backed up to home"

During the conversation, the thought crossed my mind to turn the camera on and watch the show!

Should have asked him for his ID card, and told him until he could produce a military ID that the conversation was over.

Good idea. Even if he did produce ID, I still wouldn't have given him my personal information though. If police impersonators can flash a fake badge and/or ID, than so can military impostors. Originally Posted by Koronin

I agree, but I'd ask just throw the kid off. I'd also probably (if I remembered) ask for his name, rank, base and commander's name so I could contact the commander. (This idea comes from living in a military town now, would never have thought of it before). Oh and no I still wouldn't give personal information either. I'd actually love to see them try pulling that hear and end up trying it with one of the Marines. That would be interesting. There are actually several Marines who ride road and mountain bikes a lot. And there are some trails on base, that we need to check out at some point. (We aren't military, but hubby is civil service which is what gives us access to the base.)

I'd love to see that too! I'd also like to see him try that with an off-duty cop. I have read news stories where police impersonators pulled over real cops and got busted.
