Hello. I graduated from Ranger School in January 1972 (Class 7-72). I came across this site while looking for information on my Ranger class. Are there any other old Rangers from class 7-72 on this board?

Re: Old Guy Intro
Welcome young Ranger, not sure if there are any from your class hanging out here but what is important is that you found your way here. A bit of a longer introduction would be appreciated.

I'm the 5th guy from the right in the 5th row as you're looking at the picture. Nice to hear from a classmate of nearly 40 years ago.GTP wrote:Yep, I also graduated from Class 7-72. In the class photo, I'm the (short) person kneeling on the front row at the far right as you're looking at the picture. Always nice to see another FOG on board.
