Ranger 42L5V,

In the "we" I post about, I meant the entire community. I have no delusions that I'm part of a Ranger community. My military career was short, and I did not hack it - no excuses.

I came back to this site to post an apology. I thought it was decently received. I ask advice on this site because I know the men who post here have reliable information.

If my presence offends the Ranger community that much, then I'll fuck off.

If it doesn't, then I'd like to stick around - absorb information, and ask for guidance in certain matters of my life where I cannot find guidance elsewhere.

The posts I've made in the past and the person I am now are completely different. The Army taught me humility, and what it means to accept failure.

You're a drama queen DBS. The problem with your kids at school, your school issues, AIT tales - it's always something. You fail to listen and just keep grinding your organ.

I believe what this Ranger, and countless others over the past 3 or 4 years is trying to so eloquently say is:


SHUT THE FUCK UP


Rangers don't like whining and sniveling, and damn sure don't tolerate liars. After reading thru ALL of your posts on this site, it is fucking amazing to me that you weren't banned years ago. This doesn't require a response, its a fucking one way conversation. I give a fuck what you think.

Ranger ZoneIV -

To say that I have accepted failure - to me - equates to what you described in this post. I have learned to live with my failures in the Army and moved on.

I never once said I quit, or that I want out - ever. The medical board deemed that I was unfit for duty due to my injuries. I fought tooth and nail to retain my Active Duty status and drive on in the military. I received an honorable discharge under medical conditions, I performed the same duties that all of the trainee's I was with performed to complete Basic training, and was awarded the MOS of 91W in AIT.

My DD214 reads:
Type of separation: DISCHARGE
Character of service: HONORABLE
Separation authority: AR 635-40, PARA 4-24B (3)
Separation code: JFL
Reentry code: 3
Narrative reason for separation: Disability, severance pay

It is unfortunate that my portrayal of actions on this board do not coincide with how the Army deemed my actions to be.

What I do take offense to, is Rangers stacking up on me claiming I was given a General Discharge - that I lie to civilians about what I did in the Army - that I tell fake war stories for kicks. I do none of this, period.

I have nothing but the highest level of respect for those who have served - and I served honorably, and pushed myself to every limit my body and mind could handle. It was not enough. I am not eligible for re-enlistment due to the disabilities my injuries have left me with - I have tried to re-enlist and overcome where I failed before.

I am not some mopey shitbag who spends all his days wondering "why me?". My posts on this board come off as such because I have nothing in common with the Rangers here. I was searching for advice from those who I hold with the highest regard - instead I am told to shut the fuck up.

The only usefulness I have to this board is to tell those in training not to ignore their injuries and push through them - when they are serious injuries. It will fuck you in the long run.

I would like to be allowed to continue asking post service questions for guidance on this board - but if the Ranger community deems me to be a shitbag, then it is what it is. I'm open to any questions that may help sway an opinion on this privilege. If I'm not welcome to that, then so be it.

Your sig line sucks. No man of courage has ever been defeated, nor would quantify it in terms that he can justify. By the way, Ingersoll was the son of a minister who declared himself an agnostic - meaning, he didn't listen to his fucking elders either. He claims his closest friend was Walt Whitman - a transcendalist who is commonly thought to be a homosexual. I can think of better men to quote than a "Colonel" who surrendered and sat out the Civil War.

DBS,

I sent you a PM. I reread all your old BS PMs from when you were in school that you sent me and I have a deal for you. One of my pilots in OIF is a LT for LA County. I think this is more of the old BS but I'll see if you will bite on it, Reply to my PM and I will make sure the information is in the hands of a no bullshit, competant LEO who has rank in the department.

The phone company releases the information to law enforcement whenever a credible threat is made, all threats that state "I am going to kill you" are taken as credible. As a dispatcher I can have that information in MINUTES whenever an officer listens to the message and tells me to get it, i fill out the afidavit and fax it. That is why I think you are full of shit.

Ranger CWeber,

I get it, but I would not have gotten the help that 91W is offering anywhere else. If he is serious about it, anyway.

I don't belong here, after myself and 91W are done I'll fade away quietly.
