Breaks in the Ranger Creed

Post by GarageSaleUSA »

Hello Rangers,
I was hearing from my buddy currently in RIP that the Ranger Creed is not straight through, that there are breaks in between the stanzas. If anyone knows where the breaks are I would greatly appreciate the help! I tried searching for it but came up with nada.

Thanks Rangers!

There are no standard breaks when reciting as a group but normally it goes something like this:

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger,GROUP REPEATS
fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, GROUP REPEATS
I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment GROUP REPEATS.
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier GROUP REPEATS
who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, GROUP REPEATS
I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.GROUP REPEATS
Never shall I fail my comrades. GROUP REPEATS
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight GROUP REPEATS
and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.GROUP REPEATS
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. GROUP REPEATS
My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.GROUP REPEATS
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. GROUP REPEATS
I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. GROUP REPEATS
Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.GROUP REPEATS
Readily will I display GROUP REPEATS
the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.GROUP REPEATS

I wasn't taught the breaks in that way... I guess they dumbed it down because the version I know for a group has more breaks.

Thank God for this IntraWeb stuff!!!!!

Back in the day, a long time ago, before hand held GPS, Cell Phones, and all, we actually had to show the hell up and find out neat little things like "Breaks in the Creed...."


Really...... who would REALLY concern themselves with THAT....??????

(BTW stud, Ranger Silverback is screwing with you a little....the end of the first stanza is not "Ranger Regiment" it's "Ranger Battallion". (RIP instructors and RI's just HATE when you refer to the Regiment as a whole big group....)

"Their" never said a thing. I suggest that you look up the meanings of these two words: THEIR and THERE.
Next, spell out the contraction "THEY'RE" and define that as well.
Then, if your (not "you're") research so indicates, revise your original sentence so that you don't ("do not") look so ignorant.

As you know, clear and concise communication is critical to our profession.

Since I'm ("I am") on a roll (not a "role"), consider also these three words:
Cite
Sight
Site

As to your (not "you're") original post; memorize the Creed now. It will make your life a lot easier.

well .'s post is actually a contraction of "who is this "They" of which you speak?"

they in this case being a single group of pronoun people. thus, the singular verb use.
