Marinevet, the injuries that remove most candidates from training are injuries they have when they show up. normally a stud will eneter the pipeline up to 18 months prior to school and with the extra PT and attending pre-ranger, candidates are likely to accumulate over-use injuries. The addition of ...

as far as I can tell they are the only company that currently actively seeks out tier 1 operators. I am sure the other companies try but BW seems to specialize.

Strength

This passage from the Bible helped me through bad times in my life while deployed and at home. Jesus started the "No Fear" motto over 2,000 years ago. Psalm 91 We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that he alone is my refuge,...

How great would life be if each individual Ranger candidate had his own story of determination written about.

Pistols, The small world is recruited and vetted by personnel that either know one another or have "heard" of one another. If you look at the pool of personnel that have the skills required by a company such as Blackwater, you'll note that the available qualified personnel are few in numbe...

Spitfire,
Some stay some go. The thing you fail to notice is the communication between past and present Rangers. Unlike other communities we stick together long after what is normally expected. We share a bond that can't be overcome by time or distance. Once a Ranger always a Ranger!

donjoshua,
Welcome to our board. You will notice a complete lack of sympathy for any mistakes you made/make. I can say with great confidence this is the best Ranger oriented board on the internet. So pay heed to the advice and be forewarned to choose your words carefully.

Chris, Your post is confusing. I'll give you a simple answer. The regulation was created in order to better focus that Ranger cadre on honing Ranger skills rather than teaching them. Direct fire combatants were receiving a lower level of training due to the fact that some guys were showing up to Ran...

Dugway Utah...Let's see where do I start? I can bitch about getting "Desert Training" in a place where it only got above zero once while we were there! I could whine about having my meal of the day being a Ham and Chicken loaf popsicle. I could lament (not fondly) on the fact that we had a...
