Dammit bro, why oh why did you have to release my picture? That pretty lady I was proposing to was Ukranian and now my 8.5 wife. Oh well.

Just messing with you.

Legitimate question: from your posts you appear to be a veteran of the armed forces? I am also a veteran of the US Navy. Is this true? Maybe we have something in common. Where did you serve if you don't mind my asking?

Nola, I only have one last question:

So, when are we getting a clear read on the math that nomad brah put up? It seems like if you take all of the information that nomad has discovered and try to make it mesh with the things that Nola has claimed, he would have to be around 10-15 years older than he claims, AT LEAST. How does all of this add up.

I want to believe, but the more we discover the less and less the tale of Nola makes sense.

Having considerable maritime experience, just going to put this out there:

To captain a yacht the size he claims, he’d need an unlimited tonnage masters license. This isn’t an easy feat.

It requires 4 years at one out of seven maritime academies in the country. Once you’ve accomplished that, you need an additional 3 years sea experience, which for the average person takes 6 years or more (spending 6 months at sea per year on average)

Only one other way which is to have 6 total years at sea (equating to about 12 years actual time) as a variety of different deck ranks, most of it being on large vessels plus a magnitude of different courses.

And no, some averge joe that owns a boat can’t sign off saying you have this sea time. That only works for small licenses like 100 ton masters, which qualifies you for about nothing.

[scorpion]

Sure is a helluva lot of smoke around here for there to be no fire.

Looks like we're dealing with a pathological liar. It doesn't mean he's lying about everything (i.e. maybe he was a Legionnaire, maybe he did work on boats and do some diving, etc...). The problem is that once it becomes clear that he's obviously lying and/or grossly exaggerating about certain things, it becomes impossible to separate truth from fiction. You never know when he's telling the truth, when he's exaggerating or when he's bullshitting entirely. So you're forced to throw everything out. Into the trash it goes.

Pathological liars often prey on credulous dupes. The duped person not only serves to inflate the liar's ego, but their credulity and vocal affirmation of belief in the liar acts as a bulwark against other parties who might cast doubt his claims. It's a sort of symbiotic relationship: the liar feels good about himself and gains some social cover for his lies, the dupe enjoys the high of befriending such a cool/accomplished/rich/important person and feels flattered by the attention he receives from the liar.

If nola is not a pathological liar then the alternative is actually worse: he's an infiltrator attempting to gain the trust of forum members for shady purposes, the precise motivations and goals of which we could only speculate (anything from a simple conman looking for money from credulous dupes to a SJW journalist trying to doxx people to some alphabet agency disinfo op to discredit the forum/sow distrust and confusion). There is no other alternative. His own words expose him as a liar. His timeline is all over the place and is clearly unbelievable. Simply ask yourself - if you were forced to lay $10k down on the wager - if the timeline nomadbrah gleaned from nola's posting history is more likely to be truth or fiction. Would you put real money down on a ~35 year old having done all the things he wrote about? Or is it more likely he's just another guy on the internet bullshitting entirely or at best wildly exaggerating his experiences?

Sorry, I'm a boating pleb, so be patient with me.

What you're saying is that he'd need have spent around 7+ years worth of time acquiring the certifications necessary to eventually be in a position to be a mega yacht captain for 8 years?

So that's like 15 years right there?

This is assuming that he somehow stayed at sea for 3 years without taking extended breaks to attend to his normal life?

This is sounding like quite an extraordinary individual we are talking about.

After he beats me up I can introduce myself.

You just described the first step to joining the Polynesian Ethno State Foreign Legion. In fact Leonard, you can be the captain of our navy. The boats are either 180 feet, or 162 feet, or 150 feet. I'm not sure exactly, but they are long.

Aloha!

Because I'm a totes legit nordical marina I'll even bring my own sea-car. It's called the Millenial Falcon. Do you have space for it at one of your aquatic parking lots? I suppose you want to know how big it is and I can tell you precisely. It's biggish. Less like a sea-car per-se but not as big as a sea-18-wheeler.

It's one of the ones with a big clothes line in the middle to dry your sheets on.

Sorry to the rest of the members. You high and dry normies are probably dumbfounded by all this nordical terminology.

I was just doing the math on his military experience and was wondering how he managed to fight in both the Iraq and the Afghani Wars and then squeeze in 7 or something years with the FL after that, but I didn't realize that he also had a captain license that takes most people 15 years to acquire.

How old is this dude? 143?

There shouldn't be SAIL boats or FISHING boats or ICEBREAKER boats or CANOE boats or any of those words.

There should just be boats. We are one people, so let's have one boat.

Goddamn (((LochNess Monster)))! I think we need OTR, AB and Columbrah to perform a gelt ritual to appease the (((vampire))) spirits and help them buy their way across the river Styx.

Shame that we have to do this. He has a damn captain's license. You'd think he could just pilot his way across. Hard times?

1. You need a captain license to navigate a ship for money, i.e. be a professional captain, and this takes months at sea. But if it’s your yacht, or your friend’s yacht, a simple permit is enough, and it can be obtained in a few months of study in most countries.

2. Nola doesn’t remember his ships’s length, but personally I was never aware of, or interested in, the length of any of the several warships I served on.

I think you'd remember if you were the captain of the bloody thing!

For a start, the first question any man or his dog asks about boats is "how big is it?".

It requires 4 years at (a) maritime academy

4 years at a maritime academy, or say a 2000-usd bribe in some Latin American port "authority", or a 400-usd bribe in Yalta (with either Ukrainian or Russian stamps, as you wish). I guess a 600-usd bribe would have done the trick in Odessa for Nola?
I mean don't forget that you can be a skipper with licenses from a variety of countries...

But, a super-expensive ultra-luxurious boat like the Maltese probably has her own berths permanently owned and paid for at every port around the Mediterranean sea, or, if she ever sails into a new port, I guess some secretary somewhere has reserved and paid a berth already, weeks ahead, for the Maltese. Certainly the Maltese does not venture into a port without prior reservations having been made, and not by the skipper himself, but by some administrative helper.

As you see, I'm taking my Nola's lawyer role quite at heart... I'll rescue him from Hell's gate!*tch*

[Northern Wastes]

I guess I might as well grab my Torch and Pitchfork. Sorry nola.

thread-68318...80021.html

"I kept it real once when I was 19 years old in TJ Mexico. A guy snatched my cell phone from my hand when my friend at the time was trying to score some blow "from a guy he knew". I smoked him in the face and that was pretty much my demise after that. I ended up fighting my way out the car "keeping real" because I thought I was a tough guy.

Was this while you were enlisted with the Us Navy Reserve? During a tour of the Middle East as a Greenside Medic with the US Marines.? Or When you were attending MIT?


While I managed to get out of the car I quickly learned not only was it the guys in the car that were trying to kidnap me..... four guys in a car behind us were also part of their crew. After I was beat and robbed by 6 guys (one with a aluminum bat.) I was left on the side of the road incapacitated with broken ribs, arm and a fractured eye socket. Luckily someone saw everything and helped me get to the boarder crossing. I think if they had not knocked me out they would have killed me. As my friend that was kidnapped later told me they said we killed your friend. My friend complied and ended up stabbed and robbed then released on the street a week later but luckily survived.

Was you friend in the service too? Or was he just trying to score drugs? Did you tend you own wounds or did you go to a Navy Doctor?

Note: I was a seasoned boxer and a state wrestling champion that made it to US Nationals and had competed since I was 11. I barely made it out of the car against one guy who I'm sure was not his first merry-go-round. Also when you are not fighting in a controlled environment go ahead and subtract about 85% of your skills. Subtract 100% when you're facing more than a single opponent. I was lucky they didn't stab and shoot me for good measure"

I feel like this would come up again more in you stories because that is a pretty amazing feat. Did the FFL take this into account when you joined up?

I want to believe you're Muad'Dib bro.

[superiorClimber]

I read all nola's responses, and I'm fairly certain he's provided clear response to all these questions in his posts. Maybe its worth reading them over again.

Apparently the posters on this thread haven't served in the US military since no one appears to be familiar with the difference between active duty enlisted, reserves, and ROTC. I'm pretty sure nola posted he enlisted in the reserves prior to going to college, which is very part-time and can easily be completed during ones college years with a limited commitment. He wasn't in combat for 4 years while completing a full on technical degree at MIT.

[Not a Second Hander]

I'm with NOLA on this.

Most people crying for blood sound like unaccomplished plebs who can't comprehend what a man is capable of given a certain familial background, proper mentorship, good genetics and a hell lot of discipline.I'm nowhere near his level but I'm 28 years old. Former Wallsreet financial analyst, D-1 Tennis player, current small manufacturing plant owner and I'm graduating medical school next year. I also breed horses.His chief fault was his candor. I usually downplay my achievements. I tell people I was in finance, used to play tennis, run a small business, I ride horses and I'm in grad school.

I've learned the hard way that nothing instills hate more than someone who through his achievements makes them feel like a loser when they look in the mirror.

My only issue is with the Yacht captain statement. But that's beyond my scope of expertise.
