Hello All,
I've been lurking around, off and on, for a few years and after receiving a PM from Jim decided to finally show myself. So here goes:
I served in C co, 2nd Platoon 2/75 from '82 thru '84, then HHC S4 Ammo Section 2/75 from '84 to my ETS in '85. I was known as "Bones" then due to my skinny ass appearance. Oh to have that again! No Ranger School date as I failed the CWST so I'm a "Tabless Bitch". I could make excuses but a "No Go" is a "No Go".
I met a few of you at the 2004 reunion at Ft. Lewis. My ex and I spent a day at Mt. Rainier with one of the members of this board. I am currently a LEO in Southern California. I just hit the big 50 and am wondering where the time went. Of course I look back at my time in 2nd Batt as a defining point in my life that I will cherish forever.

Welcome. Thanks for surfacing after all these years. I agree with you that those with a Ranger experience are better men for it. Please become more active, now that you are one of us FOGs.

Re: Intro-The Adder
The feeling is mutual sir. It's good to be with like minded individuals who share similar experiences. While I do work with numerous veterans from different services it's the Ranger Brotherhood and mentality that I have been missing. Should have come in outta the cold sooner.

Re: Intro-The Adder
Thanks Cams. Funny thing is the handle has nothing to do with my math skills, or lack thereof. It refers to the snake. I won't bore you with the details but suffice to say it involved a copious amount of alcohol, some Steve Irwin impersonations and a bunch of guys, out painting the town, trying to be funny.

I figured it was in ref to the snake. My dry sense of humor won out though.
