Bottom line, there’s a dude I work with who claims he graduated from UB. I firmly believe he hasn’t. How can I check this? UB says they need a SSI ---

Find someone in that graduating year and have them look at their commencement stuff? ---

(Spence draws an ambush diagram on a dry erase board) Spence: Okay, we got shooters here…Shooters here. I’ll tell you an old trick… Sam: Hey [walks up to places coffee on table as he walks up to board and erases the diagram] Spence: What’s your problem? Sam: Draw it again. Draw it again. You’re the ace field man, draw it again. It’s a simple diagram, just draw it again. Draw what you say! Draw it again! Draw it again!! [grabs marker and re-draws the diagram] Sam: Two shooters, car comes through here, shooters across from each other kill each other dead. Oh my? Where’d you learn that? Heh?? Spence: In a Regiment. Sam: What Regiment was that? Spence: The 22nd Special Air Service. Sam: What’s the color of the boathouse at Hereford? What’s the color of the boathouse at Hereford?! Spence: I don’t like your attitude. Sam: What’s the color of the boathouse… Spence: Oh FUCK OFF! Sam: What’s…You got the gun. I’m unarmed. Do something. Go ahead, do something. Do something! [as he gets into Spence’s face, he backs up towards the coffee table] Sam: Do something! [Spence spills the coffee and Sam grabs his throat leaning him backwards over a railing as he takes his gun.] Sam: Oh, tell me about an ambush?? Tell me about an ambush?! I ambushed you with a fuckin coffee cup!! ---

> [@Geehee](#): > > really, a Ronin reference? thats really testing the limits of “off topic” it’s very on topic… it’s how you determine if somebody is claiming an degree that they don’t have. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > How do you doubt that? > > There has to be an actual way to verify someone attended/graduated from a College if they claim it on a resume. You are supposed to ask the applicant for a transript. Official transcripts usually have one of those official stamps on it. The person can also ask the school to send it directly to a specific person/place. That way you know it’s legit when you get it directly. ---

welcome too my personal hell. I wasnt ready for college when i graduated High School, so i went out and got a job. This made me a loser in my mothers eyes (dont ask, my mother is fucked in the head). Too date, my brother (who is the never do wrong golden child) has snowed my mother for eight years with “im going too college”. Hes apparently already graduated from ECC with an AS in engineering, and claims he is going too UB for engineering science, taking ALL of his courses part time and online. Ive never seen his diploma hes never brought books home he never gets mail from school he never fills out fafsa or paperwork for TAP/PEL. And yet for over eight years, my mother has totally believed he is going too school. I have unsuccessfully tried, for those eight years, to find definitive proof that he is not going too UB like ive been saying, and that he is in fact, a loser. Edit: Ive since pursued a path in the engineering program at GCC and based on the amount of homework im doing,mail im getting and shit in general i have too deal with for school, my brothers getting nervous. Very nervous. ---
