FNG here, A co. HHC 2/75 Vet

Post by jakeshoe »

Hey Guys,
Just found this AA.
Got lost on the DZ...

Anyway,
I went through RIP June 1995, graduated June 29th.
Hopped my happy arse on a plane to Ft. Lewis and found myself inprocessed to 2/75 on Friday July 6th..

Everybody was just coming out of the field...

I had a pleasant evening.

Team leaders were Sgt Jacobson and Sgt Midyette.
Tabbed Spec4s were Spc Fastbender and Trimbynski (Never could spell it).

Was assigned to 1st squad Deerhunters, 2nd Platoon Blacksheep, A Co.

Did about 9 months there, got a pretty bad ankle injury in Yak, and was "temporarily" moved to HHC to heal up. Made a home at the RMP.

Ended up getting a ride on the "Black Chinook" in 1999.
Those that were there know what I'm saying.

Glad to find this place and hope to talk to some old Ranger buddies.

Thanks Guys,
I miss that place.

Kinda bored with civilian life after 3 years and am thinking of going back in as a Flight Warrant.

Wonder if they'd let me go to RGR School as a flight warrant...? LOL
