Since it's DSP's day off I thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to do some Doody-esque speculating. DSP has mentioned multiple times that his dad was a marine, although he has always been quite vague about it. According to
this old newspaper archive, in 1977 at 21 years old, Dave's profession was a "warehouseman". I believe you need to do at least 3 years of active duty so I kind of doubt that he was in the marines before that if he listed his profession as something else in '77 when he was 21. Did he join at a later date, after getting married? I'm inclined to think Dave never was in the military and this is just some "my dad is cooler than your dad" nonsense Phil used to bullshit other kids with in his school days. Another thing that I find odd is that his parents got married in or around the end of 1977, but it took them almost five years to spawn the pigroach, who would go on to be an only child. DSP looks and supposedly acts absolutely nothing like Dave and he has mentioned there being issues with infidelity with his parents. Is Dave infertile and did Linda, desperate for a baby, fuck a pigroach-looking alien
