I'll crank up the generator and get the coffee started! :D
You had generators?????? I keep sayin it, this new breed of Ranger.....their smarter than me.
Nope. Not me.
But been to a couple of CP's during my time that did.
After all the cracks about remf this and remf that, I'll admit I got hypocritical when it was 38 degrees and one of them walks up and hands me a cup of joe that he just drew from a Westbend 55 cupper.

I was there the same time as you. I arrived the end of January, 1975 and was in Ranger School 3-76. It's great to see another former Ranger when I was there and also Ranger buddies in the same class. What I remember most about Ranger School was that night in the POW camp and how cold and rainy it was. I never hugged another man as tightly as I did my Ranger buddy that night to stay warm, the whole 2 hours or so. I also remember the alert we had shortly after I arrived at the Battalion. We were marshalled at Cobra Hall at Hunter AAF and it was the real thing when I was sent on a work detail, loading live ammo on the pallets before it was cancelled. BTW, in May 1975, did you go to Little Creek or Panama?
