Introduction

Post by ChipOnShoulder »

My name is Cook. I was a medic in Bco 3/75 2nd plt. from 1997-2001. I never went to Ranger school, but bearing the scroll for 3 1/2 years was definately rewarding and an honor. The experience has helped me deal with some real nasty situations back home and in the Security business since then. I am currently in Iraq on a security detail and will be home in a month after a six month tour. I am not promising anything to anyone but if you are interested in this line of work post some questions and hopefully I can point you in the right direction. I have ran into three Ranger buddies since I have been over here and they may be able to help as well. It was hard finding a job that paid worth a damn when I got out and I don't want any other quality Rangers facing the same problems.
Besides there are too many damn Marines in this line of work anyway :twisted:
