So I started to question him further he didn't seem to understand the difference between a PI Marine and a Hollywood Marine....

Am I right to be suspicious here? I mean, every Marine knows their MOS (0352, 8513) and every Marine knows the difference between PI and Hollywood, right?

What other questions can I ask him about the Marines that would verify my guess?
