Introduction

Post by bigyota »

Good Afternoon Rangers,

I have lurked long enough, time to quit being lazy and post my intro (thanks, Ranger Jim!). So, I enlisted fresh out of high school in 96 as an 11X with a RIP contract. OSUT, ABN, then Christmas Exodus before RIP (Jan 97). I actually got the first pick on my wishlist and went to 2/75, C Co and HHC from 97 to 99. I ETS'd in November '99 and became a long-haired hippie weirdo until the war kicked off in 2001 and I signed back up. I've deployed for OEF and OIF a few times, once with the Guard. I enjoy reading everything that my fellow Rangers write and find myself laughing my a** off thinking about some of the shittier times as a Ranger private (JOTC at Sherman, anyone??). Unfortunately, I would still be sitting on the floor of the 5-ton since I'm non-tabbed, but I'm working on that as well. So, nice to preemptively meet you all!

RLTW!
