New Interduction

Post by Big O »

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.

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

Welcome. Cal, did you have to type his intro for him or did he really do it himself?

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. 8)

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.
