just found this site. very cool.

good morning from afghan land. i was following the stuff on jose harris, and one of the links led me here. i never knew this place existed.

i was a RIP failure in 95. was a 131 pound, 6 foot, 2 inch tall, skinny azz kid, with not enough intestinal fortitude. so i went off to the 82nd for a few years. hated that. so, i was planning on getting out, when the re up NCO told me he could get me back to RIP. so, i went back in feb 99, and was the James A Champion honor grad. and COL Stan McCrystal was the Reg Commander that presented it to me. very proud moment for me. i went to 1st Ranger Bn, HAAF, GA, and was stuck in HHC as an import. CSM Rakow made sure i was going to Ranger school, and passing, before i was going to get a job there. being a 22 year old, non tabbed, import from "the deuce" was no easy life for a few months in Regiment......i went to Ranger Class 8-99, and thankfully didnt recycle, because Mountain Phase nearly killed my southern Louisiana, swamp lander azz! i was in 3rd Plt, C Co, 1/75 from sept 1999, to sept, 2001. started off as a weapons squad Assistant Gunner, and then gunner. made e-5 in 2000, and went to the line, and was a rifle team leader for 3rd squad. i left after that to go with my Ranger buddy in the snipers. i was in the sniper section until jan 2002, when i got into a disagreement with a policeman in Savannah, GA...... oooops..... but i took my medicine, and shot off to SFAS, and have been a weapons sgt in 7th group ever since. currently a SOFMPC Canine handler, serving 4 th tour in afghan land.

people ask me all the time, what is better, Rangers or SF..... this is often a baited question...... and for everyone it is different. however, my answer is this: if i was offered a job as a e-5 team leader in Regiment, we would end this conversation, cut off my bottom rockers, and start packing right now, and be there for formation tomorrow morning......

Welcome home, bro. Glad to have another 1st string guy here. We are so fucking outnumbered.

who is this? we were in the same hallway for a while. snipers and mortars. this is Corbin. i got to snipers late in 2001, so we might have missed each other.
