Ranger RRDTm3,

Glad you guys finally realize how much courage it takes to jump into a sunny friendly DZ with girls, cold beer and a parking lot with your car in it. :D

Regards,
Mark

Ranger Zonk,

I do appreciate the humor. The PJs and Golden Knights are 100% confirmed. The PJs were all from the 129th ARS and I knew several of them personally. I jumped with them at Marina CA at the civilian DZ called Skydive Monterey Bay. It is the old Ft. Ord Army airfield. I begged, but they ...

Ranger ma91c1an,

Well, your articulate logic, unfailing courtesy and explanation of your mission goals are finally getting through my thick skull.

I was wondering why you guys were getting so torqued about a pathetic boaster who you could so easily ignore and you were wondering why I was ...

Ranger Cams,

I hear you. I take your valid criticism seriously. I don't like getting more information than I give, but I know of one instance where a guy posing as a Special Forces vet got badly beat up by some real ones. Alcohol was involved so maybe tempers were less controlled than they ...

Ranger ma91c1an,

Thank you for that detailed on point reply. I have been criticized by my friend for even questioning this guy's story since I am not a vet. I am pretty sure that real heroes wouldnt mind having their stories checked out.

You have now convinced me that the guy is a poser, but I am ...

Ranger I Don't Care,

I think just one poser not two. I am pretty sure Hadfield was a real Ranger. He never bragged about anything at all, you had to ask him. He later became as USAF PJ in the 129th Rescue Squadron and I had him lead me on a tour of the entire unit at Moffett Field in uniform ...

Ranger I Don't Care,

I haven't posted his name. He is a friend of a friend of mine and I don't want to be responsible for the "hero" getting some "personal training" from a real Ranger.

My friend (ex military himself) says that the "hero's" story about jumping into Grenada from 500 ft with a ...

Ranger JTLW!!!

OK, I think I am learning the site protocol. I don't want to call BS on a genuine hero, especially one who can kill five enemy soldiers by hand... so I will await more specific responses denying the truth of the guy's story and until then just remain a quiet skeptic.

Thanks for the ...

have you determined from his Grenada story "facts" that this guy is a poser rather than heroic Ranger?

Mark

Name is Mark, 59, SF bay Area. Not a Ranger. Interested in military history. Occupations, many including commercial fisherman. Had a Ranger as a crewman on my fishing boat, Greg Hadfield, who fought in Grenada and also Panama as I recall. Been a skydiver since 68, still active, even made a few Herc ...

I dont want to post my name, what info do your require?

I am interested in military history. I am not ex military. I have been a skydiver for many decades. Live in SF Bay Area.

Thanks, posted in 75th area.

I am not a Ranger but I need some Ranger related info and hope you guys can help me out. I have no military experience, but am a skydiver, have made a few Herc and HALO jumps, made S/L jumps from smaller acft too many years ago, and something just sounded fishy about this story. The jumping S/L from ...

I am not a Ranger but I need some Ranger related info and hope you guys can help me out.

A local guy who claims to be an ex Ranger says he jumped at 500 ft from a C 130 into Grenada (believable) and immediately upon landing single handedly killed SEVEN enemy soldiers manning a 30 cal machine gun ...
