Tabbed Recon Marine
Just found your site. Doesn't look like you have a lot of Tabbed Jarheads, so I figured I'd sign on. I'm a former Recon Marine from 2d Recon Bn, 94-98, Goldwinger, Ranger School Class 7-96.

I was already in Recon when I went to Jump School. In fact I went to Ranger School as a leg. I think they need an accelerated program for people that aren't right out of basic. I had a few SEALs and a few PJ's in my class. We we're all a bit annoyed, but made the best of it none the less.

So you did you guys breath new life into the phrase 'Living Caricature' (of the Blackhats) when you were going through the course?Recon Marine wrote:I was already in Recon when I went to Jump School.

That must have sucked. It's amazing you lived through the experience, given the boredom level. And it's not like they can smoke you enough to even make it interesting.

It was a bit of boredom. It was fun the first time I yelled out "Airborne Recon Ranger" when I was pushing. The Blackhat freaked out. "What the hell are you yelling Ranger for?" I politely lifted the pocket flap of my cammies and showed him my spanking new tab. He was left me alone after that.

When I went through Abn School we still had the cables in front of the white house - I don't know that they use them to form up anymore. We use to intentionally get gigged each day, or mumble *cough* 'bullshit' *cough* after being inspected if we passed so we could go to the gig pit. Then, me and my airborne (and RIP) bud would loudly count 'Zero' to every exercise repetition. There were also a couple Recon guys back there.
Of course, there were also about 45 PHR's in front of us pleading and begging us to stop sounding off with 'Zero' so the mean Blackhats would stop the smoking. Gimme a freaking break!
