I had to do some serious thinking about making such a controversial post on the open forum, my being so new around here and all, along with the fact that I am not a combat vet, but I would like your thoughts. I did run this past one of the Rangers on this board as a PM first, he suggested I make the...

Not sure when, but I'd say late 90s, Corcoran sold out to Acme boot. I'm glad I got mine when I did before that happened. I took mine off for 14 years, and just recently put them back on.

In the old days, long ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth, paratroopers wore a truly unique boot, it was called the Corcoran Jump Boot.

Anyone who attended that school in those days remembers Millett. There was another one named Bell. I'm better at faces than I am at names. If I can figure out how to post photos, I have a few.

Hello Rangers. I served with the 101st at Ft. Campbell from 1960-1963. I have fifty static jumps, C-123, C-124, C-119, C-133, C-130. I was volunteered for Recondo School in 1962. That was a school set up by Westmorland and operated by Rangers. At first is was a very intense two week course but it wa...
