Intro Rasiuli
New to this board, but Old Ranger. Graduated Class 501-70 in Feb 1971 ... yes, 40 years ago this month.
Anyone know if "Winter Rangers" schooled in December, JAn, Feb still sew on the tab with white thread?

Welcome to ArmyRanger.com! I was just ahead of you, Class 3/70, graduated Oct 69. We are always excited when we find another FOG that can remember that he was a Ranger.

Re: Intro Rasiuli
I was working out at my civilian gym here in Seattle, and saw a strapping yoot wearing the black and gold tshirt. I asked him when he won his tab. He said three years ago, before joining the Bn at Lewis.
I told him I graduated 40 years ago this month. he blurted out, "Man, you took the course back when it was HARD!" Now, ain't that the nicest thing you could say to a FOG? We THINK that but never say it to the newbies.

Yeppers. With work uni velcroed, and the greens and tans gone, there is only pin-on tabs. No more sew-on anywhere?
Best look for the tab in my career was on the shoulder of the Class B tans.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.
