INTRO: Bama_Ranger
I served in 2/75 ("old scroll" days) and was one of the original NCOs in 3/75; did a couple of hitches as an R.I. as well (Camp Darby). I was a leg for my first three years in the Army (Yes, I admit it) before re-enlisting under the Ranger option. I blew out a knee and was medically discharged at the Rank of SFC with nearly 14 years service.

Re: INTRO: Bama_Ranger
Actually...I have escaped Alabama, in a manner of speaking. I've lived in Columbus, Georgia since 1979. However, I do work across the border and I'm still a huge Crimson Tide fan; lifelong. :DRanger Ron wrote:Welcome to ArmyRanger.com Ranger. Thanks for your service to our great country.

Re: INTRO: Bama_Ranger
I'm from Alabama orignally, but I currently live in Columbus, Georgia; and have since I left 2/75 in '79. I went to the Ranger Department, then to 3/75, then back to the Ranger Department after blowing out a knee. Medicaled out in 1987. But one thing is for sure. I DO know the passwor though: ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!! Been knowing that password for almost all of life. :DSilverback wrote:Jim wrote:There are a good number of Rangers located in Alabama these days.

Re: INTRO: Bama_Ranger
Not and hour ago a girl that works for me came into my office and asked me how I liked her hoodie. I told her it must be my age, but I didn't see what everyone saw in hoodies and especially one that had been ruined by spilling ALABAMA all over the front of it!!!! She just smiled and walked out of my office.Bama_Ranger wrote:Hey I understand, envy WILL make ya nauseous . . .

Actually, I post these things because it usually makes Silverback respond in some uncivilized manner.
All in good fun!
