Introduction

Post by Hawkmoon74 »

Hello all.
3rd Batt. ranger here.
Started in a line squad, moved to weapons squad and there I stayed until I was about 6 months out from ETS then moved to PSG RTO.
I was in Aco, 3/75 my entire time.
Happened upon this board by way of google...
Already reconnected with my ranger buddy from back in the day and he took me around post a bit.
Holy hell, the 3rd Batt barracks are so nice now!
But why the F aren't there any pull up bars in front of the chow hall ??!?!?!

How about that, you managed to find an avatar!

That shows some initiative and setting the example for others to follow. (Some others should follow suit)

Shoot me a PM, curious to see who this is. Looks like you were in Smith D's platoon.
Have you received a verification packet yet? Also, you coming down here for Rendezvous next week?

Welcome here.

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.

If you're asking me, go for it. I was originally using a photo of my old flash (with white trim, back when black was cool 8) ) with a scroll over the top, then found this on the web. Even though its the wrong trim, I liked the clean look of it better than the photo I took.
