Wasn't sure where to post this. Thought it deserved a read, though. It gets interesting around the 5th paragraph of the article.

Ranger Neves-

Only found one other mention of JCT in this forum with no explanation and no mention of BSFET. Pardon the ignorance, but what do they stand for? Thanks.

Rangers-

While you are in Bat, can you jump as much as you'd like to for training, or are you given a certain number of times per week or per month that they will allow you? Also, just out of curiosity, does anyone skydive outside of Bat in their free time? Thanks.

Rangers- I was raised to never be a rat-bastard, but I know yall would want to know about people claiming to be Rangers who seemed like they were not. This past weekend I flew to New Orleans to visit an old friend, and we were in The Cat's Meow on Bourbon St. getting hammered. This guy with a long b...

Rangers-
Wasn't trying to sound like a badass, sorry if I came across that way. Ranger Pneves asked if anyone had taken any pistol courses, military or civilian, and i was just answering him. now i see he was asking specifically about the Blackwater course....i know, front leaning rest for me...

Rangers--about 4 years ago, some buddies and me signed up for a 2-day pistol course taught by one of our friend's fathers, who was an ex- U.S. Marshall. We shot .357 magnums, model 19 on a K-frame. i don't think they make that anymore. anyway, the first full day consisted of proper stances, differen...

I'm sorry, I think I miscommunicated to you. He never went to Vietnam. His unit never got called. He was on standby. But you hit the nail on the head, Ranger Pneves. He was regular Army, assigned to overlook whatever construction was going on from a nearby hilltop with his spotter. Never really did ...

Thanks Ranger Pneves. I knew you were assigned your primary weapon when you reached your unit, however, I didn't know it applied to sidearms as well. Thanks for clearing that up. One more question regarding sidearms: When my father was a Mississippi state trooper in the 70's, they had to qualify wit...

Hi Rangers- Yall talk about buying your own sidearms alot on here. Is this because you're retired, or does the Army allow you to purchase your own and carry it into combat? I was under the impression the Army had a shit-load to choose from, and you just took your pick. Am I wrong in thinking this??

Couldn't agree with you more

I've heard it's against the conventions to fire at soldiers as they're parachuting to the ground...is this true?

Ranger pneves-

Done, and thank you for the suggestion.

Ranger- every time i tried to log in under "mmwmia" it wouldn't accept my password. i thought i was banned, so i started scanning the forums where i posted to see if yall announced it like i've seen yall do for other fuckups. i never saw anything about me being banned, just getting my ass ...

Thank you, Ranger EarthPig. I appereciate the second chance. My question is this: One of my favorite movies is Full Metal Jacket (I know it's about USMC, but maybe yall can help me out). During the rifle training part, the recruits were firing the M-1. ("Private Pyle! I think we finally found s...

hey everybody. i'm from mississippi. i've been reading this forum for a while now and jumped in mouth first not too long ago under the screen name mmwmia, asking all sorts of dumbass questions, some of which totally undermined OPSEC and were just all together stupid fucking questions. i would just l...
