Re: SITREP - Mata Leao

Rangers, OSUT has come to an end! I ended up being PG again from FTX till Graduation, the second time around was much easier. My Drill Sergeants let me plan our final patrol/raid/assault.

Re: Introduction - Andrew

Roger Ranger Lunch, thank you Ranger goon175.

Two comments stood out to me most. "We train if you take a casualty, the best thing you can do is to kill people" and "Absolutely" when asked if the price was worth it for retrieving Neil Roberts and Jason Cunningham.
