You are wrong. We did more than that. I am pretty sure we also hosted the after-mission-buffet ." I remember that job. 5th Group did the only night time successful CSAR mission during Desert Storm. I think the Air Force provided support by flying some F-16s nearby. :D
BTW. There is nothing like CAS from a bird that can fly mach+ and accurately lob coke bottle size rounds at a target or place an MK77 "wall of fire" between you and the tangos.

Re: Surviving the Cut
last time i shadowed a patrol, early 09 (4th RTB), Ranger School was very easy. there are tons of very young E-7's (24-28 yrs old) running around RTB these days. from what I gathered most of them didn't want to be there and tactically weren't that sound at patrolling in a woodland environment. there was still a handful though that were well skilled at what they were doing. It's a numbers game.....................period

Re: Surviving the Cut
I have two friends from different units. One is a West Point grad and ended up with the Flying Chickens in Iraq. The other was with the 25th in Iraq. Both referred to the bad guys as "tango's" usually with an adjective before it. They also called them a bunch of other things- but I am trying to stay "G" rated. :)Silverback wrote:C-MAC wrote:You are wrong. We did more than that.

Plus, all this ground lingo is new to me. In the USAF we simply called them "targets".

Re: Surviving the Cut
Word to the wise, C-MAC, only members/veterans of the "actively airborne" Army units (82d Airborne Div, 173d Airborne Bde, SF Groups, Rangers, etc.) get to call them that. (I sure as hell wouldn't, being a "leg" myself.) All others may be subject to long sets of pushups or beatings.C-MAC wrote:One is a West Point grad and ended up with the Flying Chickens in Iraq.
