Down here in Pensacola for some training. Sitting outside of Old Hickory Whisky Bar and I see this dude walking down the street. Wrestlers ears BAD. Say hmm…. He looks like a wrestler. As he passes, I see a name on the back of his shirt. “Nickal”. Run him down and ask him if it is indeed, and sure as shit it is. 10 second “we are! hey I’m from York. Football fan, but followed you through your penn state career”. Quick interaction but super cool dude.

Little star struck right now…..

Is there any chance you're a Navy guy?

A close friend of mine explained when a Navy guy starts the story, "No shit!" that he's telling the truth. If he doesn't say that then it's a sea story.

Your close friend probably misinterpreted someone's explanation of the difference between a fairytale and a sea story. A fairytale begins "Once upon a time" and a sea story begins "Now this is a no sh1tter."

Ha, that might very much have been my fault in interpretation.

HAH! Nah, was Air Force but been in and aroind the DoD for 20 years now. I’ve seen all branches say it, however from my experience, story telling etiquette states that ANY story should be started with “no shit, there I was”

Some stories begin with "no shit, there she was..."

 
I have a buddy -- I'm actually on the board for his company -- and he wrestled as an intramural club sport at Penn State in the '90s. He visits Penn State often, and even meets with Cael on occasion. He was hanging out with Bo and with Cassar at an event a year ago, and his wife met them both. All she could tell me was that "they smelled so good."
