Scuba in Ranger School.

SkyShark · Post by **SkyShark** » April 21st, 2005, 10:11 am

Okay, last night had a plumber come over to the house to work on my shower. Before he went up stairs he saw some "I love me shit" on the walls of my living room. While he was working in the shower he says, So you are Airborne huh? I said yes, He then states, Yeah my brother was going through Ranger School but failed because he is clausterphobic (sp) and couldn't pass scuba. I said You don't need scuba to graduate Ranger school, he said well they changed things because you used to, This was before your time.

Has Scuba ever been a requirement in Ranger School. I don't think so, I just wanted confirmation. Thanx.

Fuck no, in fact they changed a portion of the Rangers in Action demo in the early 80's that showed a Ranger in scuba gear because it was not part of the curriculum.
How the fuck do you keep meeting these assholes?

I am a certified SHIT MAGNET!!

Also, in my state they have different types of Veteran Plates for vehicles. On mine it has the Army crest as well as a pair of Jump Wings. It brings a lot of people to my car, at stop lights and what not. People are always saying Hey I saw your plates, you know my so and so was in the military. Gets old.

The best one ever was I was at a stop ligh and this guy next to me rolls down his window and says, "hey you Airborne?' I said yes, he replies my cousin was Airborne, his name was Mike do you know him?" I said oh yeah Mike, I knew him he had short hair ad wore a green uniform right?' He said yeah. I said well when you see him tell him Jim says hi. He said cool I will, the light turned green and we drove off. I laughed for 30 minutes after that.

Again, I am a shit magnet.

As a matter of fact, Jacques Cousteau use to be the PI on the Mermaid Team when it was.

After his death, they had a hard time trying to find anyone that could submerge and suck air in through a straw.

Eventually, Marvel Comics gave Aqua Man his release. Once he submitted his 4187 for the job, the rest is history.

Where in the fuck is that sumbitch who's fucking with my profile.......

Ha ha ha.

Hey, have y'all forgotten about the snorkelling sniper phase. That's when the phase would begin after the Rangers would HALO in off of a high-altitude balloon, and then cutaway just above the water's surface, pull the snorkel, goggles, and Browning .50 cal out of your m1950....

;)

That was back when Hackworth went through.:D

There were times when crossing the Yellow River and the rope bridge had gone slack that I wished I had Scuba gear. But your plumber...he's putz.
