Hello and how is everyone. Hope your all doing well. I finally got here, I didnt think it would ever happen. I ended up breaking my wrist and had to wait at RIP pending for like four months, but it was worth it. Im up at 2/75. Just wanted to drop a line in case any of you were wondering. Have a good one.

The rest of you young DEPpers can see, that even with a small setback, perseverance pays off.
What company are you assigned to Sal? How long have you been up at 2/75?
Hatetrain, we are all brothers here....being new to the board, you are going to have to get used to the fact that Second is best (Second to none), and a lot of Batt bashing (in good fun) goes on around here.....especially about our inbred gay brothers from Turd!!!h8train1/75 wrote:Hey, Hey...come on now.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of rain...I look at Ranger books and all the 1st and third guys are dry, and all the second guys are wet!h8train1/75 wrote:Hey woobie, just remember that second in anything is the first looser. I always heard 2/75 guys say that if 1st batt was so great why did they have to make a 2nd batt. That is so that we have someone to watch are rucks and shit when we go on missions. Remember Ranger buddy its all in good fun. I'd be pissed off too if I got rained on 285 days of the year. Thats why you should have gone to the beach Battalion.
Beach Batt...you guys had your own island or some shit right? Tybee? All the worst batt guys in my Pre-Ranger class were all tan and shit!

I heard that Col. Grange's house had fighting positions in the yard...that he would have occasional parties there.
Couple words of advice Sal. Even though I was in A Co I'm pretty sure it stands for C Co as well:
1. Chemlight batteries do not exist
2. Grid squares do not exist
3. If someone in your squad says "go ask the Plt Sgt for a PRC E-7" dont fall for it.
4. Make sure all your shit is tied down. Then double check it, then triple check it.
5. Make sure you dont sit at the Tab table in the chow hall... or is that still around?
6. If you want to avoid being treated like a day one private dont act or look like one
7. Burn your brown undies
8. Take the fear out of your voice when an NCO talks to you
9. False motivation is your friend, to a point.
10. Being cocky is your friend, to a point.
11. Dont be last for anything.
12. Tape up your dog tags
13. Treat your senior privates with respect. Some of them know more than you think
Oh , could you give me the name of the physical trainer down at the BFC? Hes a middle height black guy, really friendly and eager to help. You can't miss him. Btw, dont call him sir, he hates that =)

Congrats Ranger
Way to Ranger, congratulations on your accomplishment. Just remember to keep your mouth shut, make sure you listen to the other Rnagers on your squad and continue to give it your all. If you do that I have no doubt you will be successful in 2/75. Now on the other hand, if you get the opportunity, get your ass down to First Bat. (then again, it could be worse, you could be at turd!!) Thats where its happening. Just think, while your getting rained on all day and night, the First Bat boys are living it up at Malone's or at Tybee working on their tans... As it should be. Its Second to One not none.
