Introduction and Journal

Post by RangerEsq »

Rangers,

My last month at West Point, I was offered a Ranger School slot with 3 conditions: (1) I had to give up 60 days of free leave; (2) I had to report a week after graduating; and (3) I couldn't recycle, so if I got kicked out during any phase, no tab. I took the slot and ended up having a hooah start to my time in the Army. For kicks, I kept a journal of Ranger School, which can be downloaded here:

Went on from Ranger School to MPOBC at McClellan, then served with the 95th MP BN in Germany, deployed to the Former Yugoslavia for 9 months, and finished my Army service as the SRT Commander at Fort Leavenworth. Good times.

Wherever I go, whatever I do, I consider any Rangers I meet my brothers. Thanks for letting me be a part of the brotherhood.

RLTW,

Wow, did someone really fuck you with that as a first name?
I would consider throwing them a beating just for GP...guess it could be the modern day Sue though.

We didn't let you do shit. I GUESS you earned it. Nothing like carrying the sense of entilement even further.

Free education at the Country Club. I spent some time teaching dismounted patrolling there so I know how spoiled you are, save the denial.

And upon graduation a slot to the finest leadership school in the Army. Well fuck..welcome, sir.
