Hello to all Rangers, past, present and future. I'm Jim Mowry from St. Louis, Mo. I reported to 1st Bat on 14 Feb 1987 and was assigned to Hardrock Charlie, 3rd platoon. The good old days; OG-107's, M16A1's, 1911's that looked stainless and looser than a hooker on nickel night, taping lights to weapons and getting smoked. Had the pleasure to be on one of the first C-5 Galaxy's to land blacked out and using NVG's. The pilot stated "brace for impact", not prepare for landing, serious pucker factor. Good fucking times!

Hooah school in class 8-88, graduated on 7 June 88 and went right on block leave. Was a participant in the Hardrock Lock-in in July of 88 because some turd (Evan's) ETS'd and helped himself to some NVG's and Litton scopes. Missed Just Cause on emergency leave to attend my now ex-wife's grandfathers funeral. That sucked! I did get over to the litter box in 90/91 though.

Had some of the greatest leaders, best times and made the best friends ever in the Bat. Miss it alot sometimes and thought real hard about going back in 2002. I considered Independent Security Contracting and recently found out my wife is pregnant with twins (mine I hope). So I'll leave the Hooah shit to you youngsters and I'll continue to deal with these sorry, non tax paying fucks in the ghetto and pray to the call-out God for more real world missions.

I really enjoy the site and appreciate the opportunity to be on here.
