Phil claims to have been in the army and fought in [[wp:Vietnam War|Vietnam]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua#Sandinistas_and_the_Contras| Nicaragua] before being discharged sometime around 1983-84. However, he was frequently rejected because of drunkenness and temperament, and when interviewed by [[Jenny Mitchell]] he admits he was dishonorably discharged from the catering corps (as seen on the ''Vice City Stories'' website).
