Congratulations Cherry LT and Cherry Ranger. And as I recall you're a Cherry Jumper until after you make your first jump with your unit. That makes you a Tripple Cherry. Now it's time to break them.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

OK, so it finally happened. Keep your hat size under control, G&G, you owe a debt to a lot of Rangers. You had better be a damn fine platoon leader.

Ditto. Congratulations. Revel in your sense of accomplishment.Jim wrote:OK, so it finally happened. Keep your hat size under control, G&G, you owe a debt to a lot of Rangers. You had better be a damn fine platoon leader.
Now, face the sobering thought that the lives of a platoon of young Americans are about to be placed in your care. If you don't mind, here are few words of advice from a former new platoon leader:
-For you, the tab is just the ticket that gets you to the ball. It's not going to impress your men very much as a result. The same applies to the EIB and the Jumpmaster course.
-Keeping your mouth closed and your eyes open most of the time is a really good idea. You are the newest man in the platoon and the company. You don't know their SOPs, you don't know their strengths or their weaknesses.
-Don't be in a hurry to make friends with your peers.
-Soldiers can smell bullshit from 10 miles away. Within reason, they'll respect you more for admitting ignorance than trying to blow smoke up their noses. Your commander will be less tolerant of ignorance.
-You have to know YOUR job, AND your subordinates' jobs AND you should be making a stab at knowing your BOSS's job. You show me an officer who says he knows everything he needs to and I'll show you either a liar or an idiot. You are learning ALL the time.
-If you haven't put your hand on it, don't FUCKING sign for it!
-If you don't sub-hand receipt it, wear it, or lock it up in your own locker, you're going to buy it (eventually).
Good luck, and again, congratulations.
