Cole Range.

Post by Deus Ex Machina. »

Rangers,

I've searched high and low about information on this particular event, and it all came back telling me that this course is simply put a 'living hell.'

Can any of you Rangers tell me what this place is all about?

Don't listen to him. He's just trying to scare you. It's easy.

Naw, Cole Range is fun. Tri Color is where the pain came. Put it to you this way: It's a lot like camping, except there's no food, sleep and there is soul crushing discipline at every turn.

I don't remember Cole Range being that bad.... Perhaps SGM Puck was taking it easy on us back in the old days.

Don't worry about it. It's just a few days where you take leisurely strolls through the beautiful countryside of Ft. Benning, camp out with the RIP Instructors where you all can be alone, away from the constant scrutiny of the flagpole so the you guys can all get to know one another better.

I particularly loved it when they initially told us to turn around and observe the beautiful scenery which was the woodline..
It was so fuckin beautiful we just had to go and touch it a few billion times.
