I just returned from a reunion where I met some people who suggested I join, so here I am. I enlisted in 1965, took Basic at Ft Benning, AIT at Ft Sill. Was in 4th Div LRRP from 8/67 to 12/67 & in E/58 LRP (ABN) from 12/67 to 8/68, (RVN). Went to FT Bragg in XVIII ABN CORPS, G-3. Left active duty in 1971. Joined CO B, 19th SFG in 1971, left in 1980. I became editor of "Patrolling" magazine in 2000 (published by the 75th Ranger Regiment Association) and Secretary in 2004, Both positions I currently hold. After active duty I attended law school, but decided I didn't like lawyers after I was one. Currently retired

OK, Bro....you get the Pastors SPECIAL introductory prayer. Bow down on your crippled ass knees and close your eyes.

O' GRITS (Great Ranger In The Sky) we humbly beseech thee O" God of warriors to grant this fucker whatever it is old Rangers want. If the boy wants some TRIM, hook his ass up. May his sammiches be fresh and running over with all the good shit. May his coffee be hot, may his dick continue to salute the fairness of a womans smell. And, GRITS....thanks for bringing this Philistine Attorney our way. We'll treat him like we do everyone. Like shit. Amen

Alright bro, take 10 minutes to regain your composure....my prayers tend to make people cry. Welcome here. You can resume playing hide and go fuck yourself now. :wink:
