Hello all

[diezel]

Hey all, my name is Matt, I am here to meet the fine men and women who defend this country and keep us safe. Also I am here to look for some 2nd Battalion Army Rangers for an up and coming mod that the mod team wishes to get advice from(if the rangers were in Operation Iraqi Freedom). I am 18, male, and from PA USA. Site looks really nice, not too complicated, and not too basic. So, I hope that clears up anything.

Welcome. Read the FAQs.

Botom line: You shouldn't get any responses to your request, since what members of the Ranger Regiment do or did is not for public dislosure. Recommend you contact the Army Public Affairs office (do your own web search, I'm not your research assistant), and work your way from there.

You're 18. How about instead of making up some make-believe game that glamorizes killing, you see your local recruiter instead and sign up for the team. You'll get plenty of chances to get your killin' on for real. It probably won't be as much fun as you think. You will be a part of something meaningful, and which will define your generation. Be the guy guy who was there when his nation needed him.

Don't PM me. I don't have any private advice for you.

Well, there you go, there really isn't much more to add to that.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled shut the fuck up.

WTF?! We are not your fucking video game cheat codes. Go away.

You still haven't answered Ranger Spartan's question.

[diezel]

Yes, I am aware that a good chunk of information on what the rangers did/do in Iraq is not for public disclosure, and I do not expect an indepth briefing on such things.

I am 18, yes, and I have talked to my local Army recruiter about joining the reserves or national guard(we discussed both) and it was brought to my attention that I am medically disqualified for military duty due to a ducmented medical condition. So joining the Army to "get my killin' on" is not an option.

I am not making some childish game glorifying killing by any means. As I stated in my other post which was locked by a moderator for not introducing myself in the civilian forum, this "game" is not some shoot-em up bang bang yee-haw game, but more of a game based documentary on the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and their role in Operation Iraqi Freedom, although you can view this as just some random childish game as much as you wish, you are entitled to do so.

I am a firm supporter of the military in all it's forms and do not want to step on any feet or give the wrong impression of my intentions here. I would also like to say for the record the team and myself who would be making this game are NOT in any way getting paid or going to be receiving any form of compinsation for doing this project.

For the record when it comes to the whole "getting info on secret missions carried out by rangers", I understand that is not information that is allowed to be given, but what I am curious about is whether or not a 2nd Battalion ranger would be able to give a general idea of some basic things they were involved in, just a very brief/vague idea. I know that they were involved in some raids on targets of importance and other special missions. I am also in the process of contacting a public information officer of the Army who might be able to help us on this issue.

Again, I am not trying to insult/disrespect anyone here, or the 75th Rangers of any form, nor any military structure. So hopefully this post might shed some new light on my intentions, and put some minds at ease. Thanks again, and take care.

Touching....thanks. But you still haven't answered the question. Why 2nd Batt?

[diezel]

To answer Unknown's statement about Spartan's question "What made you select 2/75 as a unit representative of the 'Road to Baghdad' in Operation Iraqi Freedom?" the answer is the leader of the mod was stationed in Iraq and was/is in the 2nd Battalion of the Ranger Regiment, and has told me he has no problems answering some questions about how I could set up a "storyline" for the game, but I want to immerse myself in the information, and see if there were other things he might not have known about or partaken in, and want to get information and experiences from more then just one source and viewpoint. So hopefully that answers Spartan's question and any others involving that issue. Thanks in advance.

So, the mod leader was in 2/75? What's his name? Which company was he in? What was his MOS? What time period was he there? Also, just a little advice, when addressing a Ranger on this site, i.e. Spartan, make sure you address them as Ranger. Example, Ranger Spartan. Well, anyway, good luck.

If he was a Ranger why didn't he just come on here and ask his Ranger buddies directly. He should know that Rangers are more likely to talk about this to a fellow Ranger than someone who has never even been in the military (no offense). This makes me question his status. Anyone else agree?

I think their mod is full of shit. If he was legit he would have come on here himself.

[The Holmchicken]

True. Sending some kid out to get info on a unit that the mod leader said he served with? Sounds fishy. Maybe I should just go on to a SEAL website and get info about SFQC. Makes about the same amount of sense.
