Re: Random thought of the moment.
Saw a sloppy gothic individual of indeterminate sex lounging outside the grocery store having a ciggy. Knowing that other kids the same age are involved in firefights as we speak makes me want to beat the crap out of losers like that.

Re: Michael Jackson dead???
I was traveling yesterday and all through the airports people were glued to the TVs. Frickin idiots.
Had to read the scroll at the bottom to get any hint of any real news.
Meanwhile, ten of our kids died in Afghanistan this week........

Berets donned!
Greetings Rangers.
Attended our son's RIP graduation yesterday - a proud moment. He's going to 1/75. I am so enjoying this holiday weekend with him. We're at the beach, the beer is in the fridge, and the ACUs are in the washer.

Re: RIP Update
Good Afternoon Rangers! I just had a phone call from my very excited son. He's got a slot in the 1st Battalion. Just one more bit of suck left - the 12 mile ruck march. My suitcase is packed.

Re: Introduction
Welcome Chief. Our boys must be together. I can't wait to see my son next week, and I'll bet you feel the same.

Re: intro of parent
Hi and Welcome and kudos to you for raising a tough kid! Oh my gosh, I could have written your introduction myself. My son was also on an ROTC scholarship when he enlisted and then called us in the middle of the night to announce the news. He's wanted this since he was little and I wasted a lot of b...

Re: RIP Graduation Info
I'm wondering if the area of the Ranger Memorial is in the shade or in the sun at 9am?

Re: RIP Update
Son back from Cole Range -- still enjoying himself!
I asked him what he thought of RIs. He said, "Mean as heck, but they like to laugh." Kind of describes this list, doesn't it? : P

Re: Got my 11x Opt. 40
Hi Zane - I have a boy by that name so your post caught my eye. I'm just a Mom of a RIPper right now, but I will add that you must keep your eyes on the prize. My son was in OSUT with about a dozen guys with RIP contracts. Only one remains in RIP with him now. By the time they had finished OSUT and ...

Re: RIP Instructors are weeding em' out fast!!!
This is an old thread, but certainly an educational one. Before my son started RIP I had the feeling ( from lurking at ArmyRanger.com) that "they don't kick you out, you take yourself out." Last weekend via phone call, he told me that the cadre do everything they can to "gently encour...
