Gents,
I've been lurking this site for years but never had the balls to register until I earned the Tab. Just graduated Friday morning with class 1-14. It's been a long grind but well worth the trip. I'm an NG IN Officer from Ohio. I failed WTC RTAC classes 4-11 and 5-11, then got called home by my unit to deploy to AFG. Got to spend two years as a PL, to include a MOB, an NTC rotation and then a 9 month deployment. I'm currently an XO. I was blessed with another opportunity to attend School after the deployment and went straight through RTAC Class 501-13 and RS Class 1-14.
I can't recommend RTAC enough! I'm honored to be here and am happy to answer any questions I can.

Re: Intro-Jim
Sometime in November 1966, the First Sergeant brought out the hot chow and presented us with our CIB. He brought a lot of the guys their Purple Hearts -- my first was in November 1967. Yeah, I know it was a long time ago.rudy55 wrote:I've served in the 1-148 IN, 37th IBCT out of Ohio for over 6 years. Three years as a enlisted 11B in A Co.

Ranger Jim,
Proud to be in the company of men like yourself, and now prouder to be a member of the small fraternity I now find myself apart of.

We earn this. Regardless of the component, you need to take care of your soldiers. I spend a lot of time with the 56th Brigade, 28th ID.rudy55 wrote:Ranger Jim,

Ranger Jim,
I attended WLC at FTIG in 2008. Does the 56th still have Strykers?
