MOUTAIN PHASE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES!

[undergoodcanopy]

I was at breakfast with my family this morning, and my son ordered blueberry pancakes, and of course I had to inform him the "best" blueberry pancakes in the world, were the ones i had during the Moutain phase of Ranger School!
Did anyone else have the pleasure of this food of the Gods?
Also they had the chow bird, with the red door,
I had heard stories of the "chow bird" from guys that had gone to Ranger School before me.
They said what ever you do on the air mobile get the bird with the red door, because the crew on the bird gives you chow!!
Does anyone else remember this?
Or do they still do it?

I love blueberries, however everytime I order them I think of the scene in the movie Stand By Me.

We all inhaled blueberry pancakes in Mountain phase.

Plus all the birds in Florida phase were pougie birds, and they all had fuckin red doors!!!! Dude you must have been seriouly droning!!!!!

Hey man, all the birds have a "red door".
They're student pilots from Ft Rucker, the reason that they're "pogey-birds" is because of an incident many years ago when one of them crashed.
The Ranger studs secured the AO applied first-aid and called in a 9-line and had the injured pilots medevaced.
The pogey-birds then became a tradition, a means of showing thanks from one group of students to another.

It's one of the pilot in training priorities to stock up on anything and everything before they fly. The pogey-mobile (airmobile) is usually flown as a p/u and insertion begining or during the FTX phase.

It is in fact a tradition that began many years ago when Rangers conducted a downed pilot mission in the RVN, overcoming a great deal of odds to get to the bird and rescue the crew. As a result, pilots and crews have been doing this ever since as a way of saying thanks and in the knowing that if it were to happen again (which it has as we all know) it would be no different.

As a result, and because Rucker is only a short flight time away, later on in their training when flying formation missions, both Rudder and Rucker combine complimentary and mutual supporting mission requirements.

I've literally seen students become human chipmunks stuffing their jowls with as much shit as they can into their pieholes. If you've never seen this, it will have you rolling on the floor each time you do. :D

The unwritten rule was once their butts on in the bird, let em have at it.

Once on the LZ and their feet hit the ground, game over. I've never seen a stud who wasn't or didn't have his ass in full motivational gear after one.

I'll never forget mine. A cold Pepsi, Hardees cheeseburger and a fudge brownie. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

Ahhh....two outstanding topics.

Mountain phase blueberry pancakes are indeed the best blueberry pancakes in the entire universe.

We were waiting on the HLZ when those red doors showed up and we all screamed like the heathens that we were. When my group jumped on ours, the pilots started handing back bread bags filled with ham sandwiches, and in between each sandwich were little debbie creme filled oatmeal cookies.

I loved those guys.

Everyone knew when we were suppose to get 'em, and when they got there..................Nothing...............Notta.............Zilch! That was one of the most demotivating days of Florida!

[RRDTm3]

Thats ok, I had my good day's in School! ( I know I had some, well a few, Ok a couple, Damn it 1, I know I had at least 1 )

Over the years I had forgotten about the pancakes or thought is was just one of those mind fucks you get in Ranger school. Kind of like the coke machines and rolling doughnuts you start to see during patrol. As for the Poggy Birds.... every time I got on a chopper in RS there was a fucking RI next to me. I could see the poggy next to the pilot. What a pisser.

[wellfed]

Yeah! Let me tell you about those pogey bait birds...They almost got me kicked out for being overweight and nearly not making tape!

[Horned Toad]

another thing about those birds, dont ever be on the last lift

[The Holmchicken]

While in the Gulag in Mountains, I had those blueberry pancakes every morning. I hate to say it, but unless you're starved like a fucking Biafran, they're pretty shitty.
