It's funny the stuff they ask you when getting a gov't clearance.
When I listed one of my "identifiable markings" as having a ***** that was 10" around, they told me I was ineligible for a clearance because the computer system wouldn't accept that large of a number... only a single digit circumfrance would fit in the box. They had to write new code for the program just so I could qualify.

What a D-Bag post. You realize you just brought A LOT more attention to yourself by the "I could tell you but then I would have to kill you" garbage than if you had just said "Navy." I spent a career in the US Military and met THOUSANDS of Airmen, Solders, Sailors and Marines and there was one constant across them all. If someone "acts" like they are in any way a part of anything special or top secret then they 1,000% AREN'T. I think the VERY first thing they teach you on day one of class one in ANY form of "special forces" is that you NEVER for any reason EVER draw attention to yourself.
I love this kind of crap. I have a TS/SCI clearance and one of the very first things you learn when given this kind of clearance is how to not say the stuff you just said. I don't mind mentioning it here because everybody here already knows what I do and the Chinese have a file on me 3" thick so there's nobody else I need to hide from. However, we have required training on specifically how not to say or do something that would make people think you were anything more than a run-of-the-mill grunt. But then again you couldn't impress the local chicks down at Waterside if you were a lowly mechanic.
