The lesson continues, Grasshoppers.....
What really would've impressed me would've been if Ray had refused to take a better avatar, unless his DEP brothers had been able to take a new one as well. Keep it, Ray, you earned it...just trying to show you that the lesson can go even farther. Your original response was exactly what we (Rangers) were hoping to see happen.
Assuming that you all reach your goals (which you won't, statistically), that means potentially, that you all could be placed in a combat situation together some day. If/when that happens, it is going to boil down to saving each other...making sure that you keep yourself and your buddies alive. No one wants to be the 'best friend' who has to mail that sad letter to his dead buddy's parents/wife/kids because he didn't make it home.
It's more than a football team. It's more than a fraternity. It's more than a secret club. It's blood bonds....family. You might as well get used to that concept now. Start being a team. Cover for each other. Train the slower members up to team standards. If you don't know how, seek guidance from the many experienced BTDTs on this board....even if it means getting smoked for your buddy.
I realize that this is cyber-world, but if you can all start thinking that way now, it really will help you later...in OSUT, in Jump School, in RIP, and in Ranger Battalion.

Correct me if I'm wrong Brad, but I thought you don't even have an Airborne Contract? :?Brad85 wrote:To my DEP brothers
one day some of us DEPs could be in the same unit fighting along side each other....
Well, statistically, you have about a 90% chance of fighting alongside most DEP/ABN/Option 40's. However, I would hope those DEP/ABN/Option 40's have a higher success rate coming from this site.
Those of you with accounts on this site better not be giving our site a bad name by quitting on day one. If you don't make it, you'd better at least be a medical casualty.
DO NOT PM ME

That is how it is done, but I still think you were a damn idiot. Hopefully you learned a few things...and you now see how spineles some of the other DEPs are. I will be on my face knocking them out with you..........even though you acted like a fucking moron.

Another story just like that one. We are in Campbell training with SF there. We are staying in WW2 barracks and the shitters didn't have doors. So we would send in the privates to talk to the other TM LDRs as they were shitting. Pretty funny and the privates did tons of pushups. The grass fields outside our barracks were used well for grass drills.wm311 wrote:reminds me of a new private story.......

well, well, well, isn't that cute. I would be careful who I talked to like that if I were you. I think you should choose your missions more wisely while you can.

Hey Knightcat - that's the way it goes in Bn - newbies are always given missions by Squad Leaders from one Squad, to run against Team Leaders or Squad Leaders from other Squads. You don't bash the crap out of them and pile on when he returns to his own squad after successfully perfoming the assigned mission.
You didn't see Weidert on here complaining about how you guys were piling on did you? He just moved out, drew fire, took the heat and drove on. That's the way it's done.

Ranger EP, you are absolutely right. Believe it or not I was debating whether or not to do take the new avatar. I'm changing the damn thing right now back to my original fag-tastic avatar and be like my fellow "unorganized grab-astic pieces of amphibian shit" DEP's. Sorry fellow DEP's. By no means did I take that new avatar because I think I'm better than you, it's just that I laugh too damn hard every time I see my own! LOL.EarthPig wrote:The lesson continues, Grasshoppers.....
