I don't post a lot. I visit regularly but mostly just to give a quick read and look for familiar names. I'll throw in my $.02 for a second on this though. Semper Fi. That should go without saying. I understand you feel frustrated at your current unit but don't disrespect. 'Nuff said on that. I hones...

The only Ranger in the unit before I went was Szabo and the early Plt Sgt that fell off the stairs drunk...
