Guy Tweets Hilarious Story About His Late Marine Friend Embarrassing Their Sergeant Major
Chris Diaz was a United States Marine Corps member who was killed in action in September 2011. However, while he is a true hero in every sense of the word for his service, he also had a fantastic personality, according to his good friend Uncle Chaps. On his Twitter account this morning, Uncle Chaps decided to share a funny story about the late Diaz and himself.
Gonna share a story about my pal Chris Diaz who was killed in Afghanistan 28 September 2011.

Often times when people are killed in action, their legacy becomes their service and that alone. That's not fair to their memory IMO.

Chris was a goofy fucker who would be pissed if he knew people thought of him as some Last Action Hero.

Chris was a great Marine. One time, we had won NCO of the quarter in consecutive quarters so we had, & I mean HAD, to eat with base SgstMaj.
— Chaps (@UncleChaps) May 27, 2016
We all hated it. It was awkward and they were usually dicks to us.

Chris and I made a bet. Winner of a best of 5 Madden tournament got to make the dinner as awkward as possible for the other at the dinner.

I won. Chris had to order nothing but "girly drinks" all night with the senior leaders. Starting with at least 3 virgin drinks.

The base Sergeant Major looked at Diaz with ultimate disgust when he said "I'll have a frozen virgin pina colada." The meal was ribeyes. Lol

Everyone else is drinking whiskey or beer and Chris is walking around in dress uniform with combat medals drinking a virgin drink w/umbrella

I tell Chris he has to order our battalion Sgtmaj a Shirley temple. He does. The Sgt maj becomes irate.
— Chaps (@UncleChaps) May 27, 2016
"DIAZ!! GET YOUR ASS OUTSIDE!"
"Aye, SgtMaj."
"What the fuck is your problem?! You're embarrassing me!"
"By buying delicious drinks?"
— Chaps (@UncleChaps) May 27, 2016
Diaz got kicked out of the dinner because SgtMaj was so pissed. I had to stay 3 more hours. Who really won? Diaz. Semper Fi.

All that to say, remember without deep mourning at times. These men and women were often fun, silly, and irreverent. Party this weekend.
— Chaps (@UncleChaps) May 27, 2016
They sure as shit would be, even if it was with frozen virgin pina coladas with ribeyes with their bosses.

This is Chris Diaz. Battle-hardened warrior who sucked at madden and golf. Expert shot and terrible cook. pic.twitter.com/vJbw8pltv8

This is great. Military guys are just like you and me. We enjoy busting our friends’ chops and making things awkward and embarrassing for the guys we aren’t too fond of. So when you’re going out and partying this weekend and have to hang out with someone you don’t like, remember Chris Diaz and his ability to get out of that situation by making this as awkward as possible..
Nice little story, Harrison… Only because you weren’t the one who wrote it.
9 years ago at 11:47 amAre you insinuating that making a hefty wage is the only way to be happy? Check yourself, Estel. This is honestly so offensive, who the fuck do you think you are? Where’s the report button? I’m bawling on the floor because of you. I hope you feel good about yourself.
9 years ago at 3:15 pmCome on, you guys run a website for a living and can’t stop or at least delete this crap? TWeakassM.
9 years ago at 3:19 pmThis is the way every man should aspire to be remembered. Rest in Peace, Diaz.
9 years ago at 12:06 pmService is important, but we should also remember that these men are fathers, brothers, and friends. Good to hear a story that helps drive that point home.
9 years ago at 1:01 pmFor once you posted something worth reading.
9 years ago at 1:25 pmService members like them are rarely remembered for the people they were. I was lucky enough to grow up around guys, like Chris and Chaps, that served. They’re best example for kids IMO, personable people with guts and integrity. We don’t need everyone to be a stoic rocket scientist, we need good people. Thank you for sharing Chaps.
9 years ago at 2:01 pmForced fun, standard military. And also, I enjoy busting the balls of old Command Sergeants Major. So it was great to hear Marines love to do it too. Look down us from Valhalla Warrior. We will take it to the enemy in your honor. Is Nos Mos Vallo.
