How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!

Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.
Yeah, my man here was just reliving the old days. Definitely find myself missing it here and there, but maybe just the clowns and not the circus.
Help me out, because I’m still trying to figure out how it’s known he’s a Marine.

I think it’s just an assumption based on the fact that he seems mostly unphased by the tear gas.
