While reading his "review", my brain kept associating his words with a face from my distant memory. I kept seeing the face of that upidy, thought he knew it all but didn't know shit, whiny ass professor that played in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School". I expected to read the word "widgett" just ...

Yes, they do, for many different reasons. Here are a few: 100mph tape was always on the packing list,and it took up less space if you put it on your mags, as opposed to carrying a roll in your ruck. The tape quietens the mags while being carried in your web gear. Those aluminum mags clanging togethe...

Roger, Sarnt'. Just call me Arvid, or some stupid geeky name like that, seeing as I'm a desk jockey now. Just showing the kiddies how much a waste of time estimating pushups will be. 1000 pushups in one day for a few ounces of water. There ain't nothing like that one on one time with the cadre to bu...

Oh, I almost forgot. The above estimates were per day. RIP is three weeks long. 6,480 pushups/day (est.) x 21 days = 136,080 pushups (est) during RIP If you are a dumbass, and can't listen to instructions - double that. 136,080 pushups x 2 (for the dumbasses) = 272,160 pushups during RIP Are you boy...

The question is almost impossible to answer. There is no way I could accurately know how many pushups I did per day, on the average, while in RIP. It would be a lot easier to determine how many minutes in a given day your were doing pushups. Given that every man will perform the pushup exercise at a...

Tell me about it. I've kicked myself in the ass ever since I left. At the time, it seemed like the right thing to do. The docs told me that my Rangering days were over, due to my loss of lung capacity. I bucked up and said that if they wouldn't let me be a Ranger, then I wasn't doing anything else. ...

My stock broker is a retired Sgt Major, and did some time with ANGLICO. While he was with them, they did some training with 3/75 at Benning. I know nothing of them rolling over to JSOC once the Corps gets into the game. The only one I know of that will is the unit they just formed that is doing join...

LN:

Remember the thread where I made the comment about Basic, and momma's tit?

Case in point.

You ship out in less that six weeks, have a leg contract, can't swim, and have thought about joining the Marines instead. I don't think you are focused yet. When I made up my mind to become a Ranger, I wouldn't have wiped my ass with the Marine Corps (no offense LN). My point is, I wouldn't entertai...

and have your buddies carry you and your rock up a hill overlooking your swimming hole, blindfold you, and throw your ass off and see if you find the shore or if you sleep with the fishes.

That was always fun when it was cold.

OK, snapper. Check it out. You need to take a few moments prior to every question you feel the need to ask, and utilize the search utility that the site admin has so graciously provided for your benefit. Then read the threads that your search has referenced. It's not that us Rangers come on this sit...

But I remember thinking then that it would be a neat idea to get a "clan" together of ex-military. There is some free-ware called team-speak that helps with the commo, and works well. OK, I admit it. I'm an FPS junky. I'm currently working my way through Delta Force. I have never played on the inte...

Oh holy hell! Thank you for the promotion. This ought to be interesting, as I don't think mine and Leatherneck's politics "jive" if you will. I must warn you, I am one of the ilk that Janet Reno warned the FBI about a few years ago that she considered to be potential domestic terrorists. You know th...

Ditto, EP. The difficulties I have are a little bit different, though. Sure, I want to go back. I think that is one trait that is common in all Rangers. Whenever we get together with guys that we served with, the conversation almost alwasy goes into how we have been trying /or are going to try to co...

ImportsRsloths, you just ignored a Tab when he told ALL of you to cease and desist. You blew him off. Major fucking NO GO! Elevate your fucking feet!

Words to the wise - Do not ever make a Tab repeat himself. It tends to make you very, very strong.
