ptforever's Intro

Post by ptforever »

Hello Fellow Rangers,
I came over from AirborneRanger.com. As I mentioned on that site. I spent 25 yrs of active service from 1972 to 1997. 14 yrs USMC, 8 Enlisted, 6 Officer. I did an inter-service transfer to the Army in 1986 and retired in 1997.
I spent time as a Marine in the Recon community and infantry units.
In the Army I commanded an Airborne Rifle Company, the 82d LRSD in Desert Shield/Storm, activated and commanded the XVIII Airborne Corps LRSC for 34 months and was the XO of 1/501 AK.
I'm happy to be once agin among the warrior elite.

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.
