This article reminded me a conversation I had with my grandfather in my mid teens. He had been a Chaplin in Vietnam during 1968. I asked him why he had requested to go to Vietnam. He simply replied that he felt 'the boys [young soldiers] might need a Chaplin'. Until that conversation the idea of 'du...

The networks are all playing the speculation game, we got him by bomb, by gunshot, Barry will be on to claim the credit any minute now.maybe tickled him to death. Whatever, I am raising a Ranger regimental stein right now to whoever made the shot. Rangers Lead the Way! Some measure of justice at la...

Thank you for posting this KWDriver. I'm happy to see you're such good friends with Ranger KWDriver. He'll be happy to know that you're knocking out 50 push ups for lack of attention to detail. Don't cheat yourself either if you truly want this. Nothing worth having is easy bud. I apologize for sho...

What's the next thing you're going to quit? 12 miles into an 18 mile walk through the Itailian hillsides, causing your squad and PLT to carry your gear as well? The middle of a fight at the next Restrepo your unit goes to? You can't say you won't, because you've proven through your actions that you...

Thank you, Ranger Furious George! I'll remember that!

A rucksack is designed to carry a heavier load over a heavier distance without doing as much damage to your spine and shoulders than your school backpack. It can be adjusted and packed to place the load's weight higher up on your shoulders. A school back pack, while more streamlined, will not only ...

I have ingested the information and advice you have given me and will remember it as I prepare for enlistment. All you have to remember is never, never quit!!! Roger that, Ranger Jim. I have this (along with a few other refrains that I've seen, 'attention to detail' for example) written on an index...

Hello Rangers, I really appreciate all the responses I have received. Particularly since it seems clear in retrospect that this was a stupid question to ask. I have the feeling that this was a time wasting question and I apologize. Despite how this reads in retrospect, I didn't mean to come off as t...

Greetings Rangers, I was wondering if any of you had any guidance for getting into the right frame of mind for Airborne School. Some part of me really wants to do Airborne. If I want to become a Ranger I certainly have to do it. But I'm worried about the possibility of getting psychologically psyche...

How did your first ruck go? I've got a five mile run followed up by an 8 mile ruck this morning, and I just got back from a 1.5 hour gym spree. I'm not trying to one-up you or act "tough", so don't read into it. The shit ain't free. Ranger Elguapo, I was out of town yesterday. I had alrea...

Since you appear to be smart, I have a challenge for you. Go down to your local mil-surplus store or ebay, and buy a rucksack. Pack about 40lbs into it, draw up a rucking routine, and do it for a month constantly pushing yourself in the middle of the night, while all your buddies are out drinking a...

Welcome Will, You know Condolisa Rice also studied Russian & was a Political Science student who went on to serve two Bush Presidents. I was fortunate enough to read her memoirs, very interesting. Be a good idea to graduate before you do anything else. Good intro. If you haven't already, good p...
