Here's an article I found on RIP on soc.mil.

I knew a guy named Chad Campbell from back in the day too.

For some reason it always freaks me out to read about guys I served with. I remember them being fucked up privates, or remember them as a Spc4 when they just came back from school, and now they are all anywhere from SSgt's to 1Sgt's.

I think it might be, the rank would be right, he should be a SFC easily by now. As I remember Chad left 1/75 to go to RIP but damn that was a long time ago. You wouldn't think he would be stuck there that long. You never know maybe those 3/75 guys kept telling him how good it is at benning and he decided to stay. Hard to imagine anyone choosing to stay there over a chance to return to Savannah. But those 3/75 guys are kind of whacky like that, hence the reason they are at benning

I'd say it is.

You know, I wondered about the time-frame myself. The story is dated pretty recently, but I don't know if I buy it. Published/posted recently, maybe; but not written. We should defer to the 'H8'.

It was actually written for initial publication in The Bayonet:

That must be an old story recently re-run. One of the dudes in the picture that Spartan came up with was one of my privates and I got out in 2000.

The dude is an E-6 now.

Sorry, it was new to the Soc.mil site.

When that chick showed up from the Bayonet I just got done smoking the dog shit out of those fuckers.

Hence the nasty looking BDU's.

What is the Ranger first response exam that mentioned in the article oc soc.mil?

Dublo · Post by **Dublo** » August 29th, 2004, 7:20 am

I am pretty sure that they are talking about a Combat Lifesaver Course.

I think it is supposed to be worded Ranger First Responder.
