I left the comfortable place a little over a year ago and I am still not sure it was the right choice.

Either that or dude was hired to go all REPO on your ass and run you off. And since he WAS military, the term "eat a bag of dicks, you hot racking squid" is an acceptable way to tell him he is a piece of shit that's ****ed up like a football bat.

Yeah, do that and you will really look forward to the the next corona virus stimulus check.

Sounds like this person is living rent free in your head. Often times people like this are dealing with personal issues themselves, and they are projecting them onto you.

Yeah, Navy Seal, Alpha Male blah, blah.

That doesn't mean jack shit TBH. He is winning the battles.

But you can win the war by not giving a shit. When the he's power tripping and your co-workers are getting all hot and bothered, shrug it off and keep soldiering on. Perfect a blank stare, do what he says and more.

The worst thing you can do is fight it.

Pull on those big boy pants and just do your job.

Sorry to hear, Jeff. It really makes having to work a lot nicer when your DRs are great to deal with.

Hoping, as others mentioned, that he'll find his way to a different department or learn to chill a bit.

It's possible he'll be a meteor manager. Comes in hot with his ass on fire, but fizzles out before he hits anything.

Who the hell calls a meeting at 5:00pm:

And this is how I'd reply:
Who the hell calls a meeting at 1700 hours?
Isn't that like 5pm?
But then again, I don't need a job.

Suck it up, buttercup.
Good luck.
