I saw the same show, not that good. The M-1 carbine was brought into the Army inventory during WWII to replace the pistol and to an extent it did. A person firing an M-1 is accurate for over twice the distance than he would be with a pistol. The M-1 also holds more rounds in its magazine than most p...

The .45 ACP ammo is available much more than the .45 GAP. The .45 ACP is battle proven in both military and civilian Law Enforcement venues. I shot a V.C. soldier who was poling a sampan on the Saigon River with a .30 caliber carbine four times in the chest. He looked down to see where he was hit. I...

'bout six months ago I was in Carmel and I saw a "trophy wife" type blonde driving a RED, brand new Mercedes convertible with the top down. She was beautiful and so was the woman driving it. That is until I spotted the California Personalized license plate, " WAS HIS ". :( RLTW, ...

Blue skies and soft landings, Ranger.

There is nothing "Regular" about being Infantry. An Infantryman is the fighting soldier. All other soldiers are support for the Infantry. Medics and Forward Observers serve directly with the Infantry and for that they have my utmost respect. Rangers are the finest Infantry soldiers in the ...

One of the Hallmarks of a Ranger is paying attention to detail. If you don't intend to continue your education at a community college, at least use a spell check program and Gramatik. In your last two postings I noticed the following: "The regiment I am following" You aren't following a re...

Can anybody recommend any good books on Ranger history. From the beggining days of the Rangers until present would be great. Thanks. ~Joseph Rangers at War: Combat Recon in Vietnam by Shelby L. Stanton To me, this is the definitive book about LRPs, LRRPs and Rangers in the Vietnam War. I'm even in ...

SOG was the one with the red cover in paperback? Had a bunch of over the border missions? I love the mock movement they created, and the ammo problems that made letters from Hanoi come down. Speaking of SOG, these books are good too: 18 months in SOG Blackjack 33 and 34 SOG were some real professio...

If I were you, I wouldn't post here again for at least three more weeks. I would read every sticky and every thread that I could. I would go to other sites that deal with Special Forces and read every sticky and thread posted there. Then I would very humbly come back here and 1st beg forgiveness and...

"If you care to look, I'm number 87 (my last mile in that race was pretty bad though)". Maybe my old, tired LRRP/Ranger eyes are deceiving me, but I don't see an #87 on the list. Maybe you are displaying a "lack" of attention to detail and are #77 on the list. Maybe too, you are ...

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origi...

32, Good luck to you becoming a Ranger. One of the finest Rangers that I served with was Efrin Cruz, a Guamanian. E.C. was a LRRP with the 25th Infantry Division, who, like me volunteered for Recondo School and then volunteered to serve with B-36 (3rd Mobile Strike Force, 5th SFGA). Efrin extended h...

I was rated 10% disabled in 1972 (with 6 PHs). I was hired by the P.D. and spent 22 years working my way up from patrol officer to detective, to traffic sergeant, to watch commander and retired as police chief. After retiring, I was encouraged to appeal my 10% rating by a retired Jar Head Gunny. I w...

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.

The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental." -- John Steinbeck
