New Interduction
To the Rangers and Special Forces and Veterans,
I'm new to this kind of commo. I'm still with a # 2 pencil. but here it goes. I was a ranger in the vacation area of a country called Veit Nam. I served with 173rd ABN, C/75, 5th SFGA. I came back to B75th/ and Back to SF.
Had a great career and a lot of great training and great missions. If my body didn't give out on me I would still be in the mixed. But I'm still training the troops. and enjoying the time that I have with our fine young Rangers and SF troops.

Re: New Interduction
Seeing as how it only took you 2 1/2 hours to type that intro, I'd say you're doing well, Gary. Glad you found us. You know many of these folks. Welcome aboard, Ranger!

HUH !!??? No high & tight haircuts back then ?????
Welcome to the patrol base, Brother !
Always an honor to have another Vietnam Ranger join.
Go ahead and do a ruck-sack flop and put your feet up. Some of the younger Rangers got security.
