That's just what fighter people do.... I'd be worried about one who DIDN'T tell me he was a fighter pilot.

All time record for that, got on the employee bus, mostly ground staff but one other pilot got on and sat next to me (complete stranger, different airline). I started the usual "how ya doin? Where ya goin today?"... it took literally less than 30 seconds for him to work into the conversation that he was an ex Blue Angel. Usually that would happen on the taxi out with most guys
