Re: Entering Perimeter.
Thank you Gentleman.
Only heard about site t'other week from "Retpara". Went together to Ranger Hario's funeral in Monroe, MI. Hoping George A. Custer's statue situated across street from church was not a bad omen. F'd with 75th Chaplain a bit, as knew him from SWA. Pity to attend ceremony for someone too young to buy a beer, but not too young to be KIA.
Always advise the young, that Rangers are way to go for first tour, if contemplating a career. Will determine QUICKLY if it's really what you want, build a good base in combat skills, and develop a network that boggles the mind. Still know, and interact with folks I first met three decades (+) ago. Spent coupla' days with old team mate in East L.A. t'other week, about 45 minute drive from Columbus, GA. Known him since old B Co. days, as well as a lot of other places later. Never ceases to amaze.
THANX again.
