Ranger Vee, In NO way shape or form was i trying to be disrespectful, so if my words came across as such, please accept my apologies...and my apologies to any Ranger for that matter....
Rangers, i'm a guest in YOUR HOUSE, and im fully aware of that so i'm not trying to be disrespectful AT ALL....
Your a decent group of guys, and im here to just learn....I hope this lets you all know where im coming from....
And as far as not using the search key...im really not that computer literate.....thats why i needed some assistance in learning how to use that thing, but a couple of guys already pm'ed me explaining how to use it....
You took your verbal lashing and came back with an apology, like a man. Learn from it and drive on.
Maybe go back to reading more and posting less. Go get one of them pimply faced 19 year old motherfuckers from one of your basic platoons and have him give you a class on the 'puter.

If you come to the 101st Airborne Division LRRP/Ranger reunion in Branson, and ask of the Vietnam LRRP/Rangers in attendance there "Who amongst you attended Ranger school and who amongst you didn't, the most likely answer you'll get is, "Why do you want to know, motherfucker?!"
I didn't attend Ranger school. Neither did my team leader, David Hazelton. We both attended jump school, and both went through Special Forces training at Ft. Bragg, but the chances of getting a slot with the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam, were, believe it or not, pretty slim by late 1969 & 1970.
We both volunteered for Vietnam and we both volunteered for the 101st Airborne Division's Ranger Company. In other words, we traded in green berets for black ones.
Why did so many non-Ranger school graduates serve with the 101st Airborne Division's Ranger Company? Read the history books! It gets pretty obvious after the first dozen pages.
The simple truth of the matter is that a shitload of Ranger School graduates going to Vietnam DIDN'T VOLUNTEER for Ranger duty once they got to Vietnam, so the debit in personnel had to be made up by anyone with the intestinal fortitude to volunteer.
Flying out to the Laotian side of the Chaine Anamatique Mountains and jumping off a slick with four of your closest buddies didn’t really hold all that much appeal for many Ranger school graduates, especially during monsoon when you were cut off from commo and any other support for days sometimes, surrounded by 200,000 dinks, freezing your ass off at night and nearly dropping from heat exhaustion during the day. Believe it or not, engaging in such activity could, at times, become very dangerous indeed.
Here’s my Ranger tab. The school one had to attend to win this Ranger tab was the toughest ever dreamed up by the US Army. The men who earned it are justifiably proud. I wouldn’t recommend telling any of them they aren’t Rangers because they didn’t attend Ranger kindergarten at Ft. Benning.
