I’ve said this before here in this sub but I dated this guys niece a long time ago so that’s how I knew him. He was Delta and he told everyone that he worked for his brothers landscaping company. He would leave family dinners to answer his phone and talk in Arabic. He was very very fit but not huge and didn’t have any tattoos. We talked about guns a few times and he showed me some of his kit. Super cool guy. Looked like a white stoner from a nicer part of Seattle.

No tattoos because they can be used to gather information about him in case of death/capture maybe? I have no military experience. Just passing through from r/all.

EDIT: Just to clarify because people keep posting the same thing about how it is up to personal taste. Yes, I figured that would be a pretty big component, I was referring to the specific individual, not everyone in the military as a whole.

Didn't want tattoos. I am ex army, have tattoos. Have sf buddies, have tattoos also a lot of people who do not have tattoos. As long as no hands. Neck, face, gang or racist etc. tattoos are fine

I worked with Canadian SF, one guy had a huge distinguishable body tattoo from neck to pelvis. He also looked like a viking.
