Hello again
I’ve been a member of army ranger since the beginnings but I’ve been gone quite a while and figure an intro might be appropriate. I was a LRRP in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne in 1966-1967 for those who don’t know me.
I never wore a cape, but I still have my dog tags.

Re: Hello again
My father was a LRRP around the same time as you with the 173rd / 74th infantry detachment.

Re: Hello again
Great to see you back here again brother.
Connor got a quick few days home this weekend and we were laughing last night about you giving him blood wings at graduation after the airborne announcement that blood wings were not allowed under Army policy.

Re: Hello again
I’ve been doing pretty well. I’ve spent the past couple of years in one of the more rewarding experiences of my life. At the request of a Ranger member here, I mentored his son from MEPS to present day when he just got back from school with his Tab. I got to pin his Blood Wings at Jump school! Like I said, a very rewarding experience.....I recommend it highly !!!!!!

Re: Hello again
I got to make a stop in and pin blood wings on a kid I watched growing up. that was a good time. a tab would be well worth the trip.

Glad to see you are still kicking around. If I recall, you were tooling around in a travel trailer for a while. Still at it?
