All "veterans" are one-uppers. They're people, where if you are talking about something, "Oh I just ranked up in Karate," or something.. They're a black belt. "I used to play the trumpet in Highschool." I have a bugle and a trumpet from WW2. "I ran a marathon in January." I run marathons twice a year and half-Mary's three times a year. "I live with only my mother during vacations." I have two mothers and I live by myself.
