Not sure who you are but I attended one of your Pre-Ranger classes (8-93). Received a SOR in Desert phase and then fail PSG patrol in my recycle PLT.
Went back and got my S@#$ the following year.
Thanks for your service and sacrifice.

I remember that well. Ventura was a pretty good dude. We went down and talked to him for a bit, and he thought it would be cool to go back and forth about the Ranger and SEAL thing.Invictus wrote:Looks like you probably put me through Pre-Ranger. My class was the one that enjoyed a wrestling match the last Friday before Ranger School started. 4th of July weekend 1993. Got to give shit to Jessie Ventura about being a SEAL.

Another memorable incident (for me at least) in that class involved one SSG Wolf. We almost got into a fight at my PSG (Devens) house about 6 months earlier. 1st morning I walk up to do my PT test and guess who my grader isrbarger wrote:I remember that well.

Welcome.

I hoped like hell he didn't recognize me. He graded me, didn't say anything until I was done (passed) and said "Don't think I've forgotten who you are Ranger".
Needless to say, my mind and body were well conditioned by the time I left for school.
I'll never forget that! Being told " You have 3 minutes to get your civies on and report back to formation. We will then go to watch Professional Wrestling." :D :DInvictus wrote:rbarger wrote:I remember that well. Ventura was a pretty good dude.
