A Ranger Qualified Ranger

Post by MsMarla »

My son graduated Ranger School last month. The whole family enjoyed the Ranger demonstration at graduation and had a good couple of days with him before he headed back to battalion.

He was very relieved not to be stuck in recycle waiting for the best ranger competition!

Thanks again for the words of encouragement! We become more and more impressed with the Rangers in spite of our Navy background.

Congratulations Ma'am to his family, you & your son.


I had to go back to your post of March 15th, 2011, 9:01 pm to decipher your title.
A better title might be: A Scrolled Ranger gets his Tab but I'm just an observer Ma'am.

Happy Mother's Day tomorrow Ms Marla.

I should have clarified the title. When we were congratulating our son, he told us "it was not a big deal", but just meant that he was now a "ranger qualified ranger". We thought that was funny.

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes!

My mother often refered to me as "My son, the Ranger."

Couldn't ask for more.

An interesting aside to this thread is that the way things are going in the army, we may soon see mothers & sons going through Ranger School together. :mrgreen:

Now I know the thought (behind the title) I'd agree it was funny. I'm just a little slow.

I've upgraded your title MsMarla seems your old title went fubar.
Have a good day Ma'am.
