INTRODUCTION

Post by Rocky »

:D Greetings Brothers! I found this site after it was mentioned to me by a close brother from Charlie Company 75th Rangers, one known here, I believe as LRP1. A brief history of my military back ground is as follows. I served with B/4/503 173rd Airborne Brigade (Sep) in Vietnam in 1967-68. I left the Herd not long after the Battle for Hill 875, Dak To, 1967 and went to the 4/504, 82nd Airborne Division, which was just forming back then and consisted of all Nam returnees who were either getting out of service or awaiting orders to return to the bush. I was awaiting orders as I had reenlisted and was hoping to return to the Herd.

I went back to Nam but in 90th Repo Depo I met another brother from the Herd, he later wrote Blood on the Riser, in which this encounter is noted, and we decided to join Charlie Rangers. After our interview and acceptance when joined Charlie Rangers, I going to Satan's Playboys, i.e. 1st Platoon and he to 3rd Platoon.

After Nam I was assigned to the 41st Co., 4th Stu BN at Fort Benning, Ga. where I served as an Instructor on the Tower Training Committee and was one of the instructors to give the 5000 Demo to visiting dignitaries and families of the trooper attending the Jump School.

I got out of service in 1975 and since then have been classifies as 100% SC by the VA. I now work at home helping other vets get their VA claims in for disability. I am the Jr. Administrator on the Echo-Charlie Ranger website, which I invite you all to visit at http://www.e20-lrp-c75-rgr.org/

It is an honor to be on this site and to meet, in time, all of you. We have some from this site now visiting our site and making themselve to home. I hope more of you will do the same.

If anyone has any questions, please, feel free to ask. I know from our experience on our own site, one must be careful in who one trust. Wannabes are running rampant. Take care and keep your powder dry.

Welcome Rocky.

When I played football as a kid they called me "The Rock on the Line", to make it a little easier they started calling me Rocky! :lol: The funny thing about that is, it was right when the movie Rocky came out. :shock: I started catching hell over that.
