"hollywood" Rangers

Post by cfletch »

I went straight from IOBC with a bunch of new LTs. I may have started with you in 6-81, then got recycled thru mountains again.

I remember we had a film crew at Benning, filming another "Rangers in Action" video. They were in the hand to hand pit every morning with the bright lights and cables running everywhere. Caused me and others a bunch of pushups for stepping on the cables. Also the class I started was known as the "hollywood" Rangers because of the film crew.

I had a Philippio Ranger buddy in Florida that I am looking for now. I have a few trips over there scheduled this year a was going to look him up, but I forgot his name.

Muther cfletch, Welcome :wink:

A dear friend of mine by the name of Samuels was in the 25th ID during Korea recently passed away. I meet him at my local V.A. and he was always singing, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition".
