Thought I'd add my 2cents after spamboy bumped the thread back up. I much prefered roping to jumping. As an FO, you could be the last man out the door, and one of the first to impact with the tarmac if there was enough distance to make up the space; I hated falling like such a rock. Roped out of Lit...

Kahn, All I can say after reading your responses is this, "YOU ARE A FUCKING ASSHOLE, START FUCKING PUSHING". Not only that, but I'll key you in to a wee little secret that you may not comprehend just yet, you're only preparing yourself to be a thoroughly fucked asshole if you don't do an ...

Nice.... I just woke up my entire family and busted my knee on the underside of my desk :evil: I was finishing a paper at 0230, and thought, "might as well swing on over to ArmyRanger.com before lights out to see if anything's going on..." I was staring so hard at those pics, and I had jus...

During my stay, the 3rd Batt chow hall had them in front of the entryway, and everyone had to knock out ten good ones before every single meal of the day. Just imagine what it feels like to be a new private who's holding up a line of hungry NCO's because he's struggling with #4 :shock: That alone sh...

You're doing all right, Boliver. The Regiment is just a different beast from anything that you will have ever experienced ( ever experienced), and I want you to be prepared for that if you are given the opportunity to go in. I'm not sure how the chaplain's assistants are treated, it may be a little ...

Boliver, I smell a little bit of an attitude on you, brother. Having several kids of my own I've learned to read between the lines, and when I read between some of yours I see this statement, "Hey, I already know what I'm all about, a**hole, so why don't just give me what I want and leave me al...

Welcome. Where do you worship, and what motivates you to be a Ranger? I noticed that you posted earlier a push up count of 500-1000 per day, along with a bunch of other stuff. I hope you're doing those with proper form, or you'll just be screwing yourself in the long run. Have you any biblical or th...

Hello Rangers, Im graduating Airborne tomorrow, im a 13 F, signed up for RIP, im trying to find out if my MOS affects which Battalion i get sent out to after I graduate. Im guessing everyone would want to go to Ft Lewis, I love to go up there, being closer to California, and having friends and some...

An 11mi Bn. run in '94. We started out around 1045 on a hot summer morning, ran 10mi out and then they turned us around to head back in; about a dozen men just passed out right there on the spot, thinking that we had a full 10mi return on a hot and humid Georgia day!!! Some slyboy had a couple of bu...

Sorry, j.rico, didn't mean to rub salt into the perpetual wound of mortardom!

Speaking of humping weight, those base plates didn't look very light either (although I did enough packing of your mortar rounds along with my radios to mitigate any sympathy that would otherwise be forthcoming).

Welcome youngster. Where you at in Orygun? Hey, I thought you were making fun of us with that outsider's drawl until I saw your location! We've actually been down in SoCal for about two years now. I began my ministry studies up in Oregon, where we also adopted the kids, and then transferred to a be...

Welcome, Ranger. Always nice to see another FIST guy. Thanks, and likewise. If one could handle humping, jumping, and roping all that weight, it really was a great job. The platoons really took care of us, once we squared ourselves away, because everybody appreciated the capabilities of those AC-13...

Along the way we adopted three children from the state foster care system and had four of our own. Holy fucking shit! Not very many would be willing to take on that kind of responsibility . Welcome to house! :D Heh. heh - I probably sound much more noble on that point than I really was at the time....

Hello all, Just dropping the requisite introduction for now. I served with C co FIST under SSGT Teel, had a delightfully miserable time humping three radios around in North Umbria (FO's never get to drop their packs on any raids or recons), participated in the '94 "almost happened" jump in...
