Hello folks. My reason for joining is simply to understand where my husband is coming from since I do not come from a military background. I have been reading books and searching online which brought me to this site. We have been married for 2 years and are in our 50's. My husband is retired Ranger for 20 years and his father was a Ranger as well. He never talks about his service so it's hard for me to get a grip of his life. We just returned from a trip to his family near Ft. Benning. Not only do I know nothing about military but I am a Yankee as well so that's been a hoot.
Well, nothing ventured nothing gained so howdy folks.

If the south woulda won we woulda had it made.
I'd probably run for president of the southern states.
The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday.
If the south woulda won we woulda had it made.
I'd make my surpreme court down in Texas and we wouldn't have no killers getting off free.
If they were proven guilty then they would swing quickly,
instead of writin' books and smilin' on T.V.
We'd all learn cajan cookin' in Luiousiana
and I'd put that capital back in Alabama.
We'd put Florida on the right track, 'cause we'd take Miami back
and throw all them pushers in the slammer.
Oh if the south woulda won we woulda had it made.

The day young Skynyrd died, we'd show our southern pride.
If the south woulda won we woulda had it made.
"Play alittle dixieland boys. Ah yes!"
I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee
and all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills.
The national treasury would be in Tupilo, Mississippi
and I'd put Hank Williams picture on one hundred dollar bill.
I'd have all the cars made in the Carolina's
and I'd ban all the ones made in China.
I'd have every girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile
and talk with that southern accent that drives men wild.
I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia, 'cause they sure can make 'em sound so fine.
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain and see ole Cliften Clowers and have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine.
Hey if the south woulda won we'd a had it made.
I'd probably run for president of the southern states.
When Patsy Cline passed away that would be our national holiday.

Father in law is long gone and I have a feeling my Ranger would not be happy to know I am here. Nice to meet you all and thanks for the welcome. His mother loves me and says "I don't care if you are a Yankee if you can make my son happy". I am very proud of him, his service and proud of all who have served. I just voted and had to think about baseball I was so emotional to the point of tears. Lordy, I am a girl!

Secrets in a marriage suck! Let your Ranger know what you're doing. Show him ArmyRanger.com and let him make up his own mind if he wants to be here with fellow Rangers or not. My life was in a black hole for many several years, but my wife learned how to walk around on ege shells, break through my stone wall and get me reinvolved with the world. Good fucking luck with your life and your marriage. I would not want to be in your shoes, but take two grains of salt and drive on...chichi wrote: I have a feeling my Ranger would not be happy to know I am here.

I asked him and he said no he lived it........then he got a faraway look in his eyes and said well.....I would like to see [John Doe] and maybe [John Smith]. And now 2 days later I sent him this site link.Ranger Andy wrote:Secrets in a marriage suck! Let your Ranger know what you're doing.
