Congrats to both of them!

Now...they'd better get those language skills up to snuff if they ever want to go again! :D

Some of you know I volunteer with a local ILARNG unit. One of "my" Soldiers, Matt Madiar, and his partner came in third!

Congrats to all the participants!

I don't think language (other than Gen Tony's 5.56 and 7.62) is high on their list of required skills.

Congrats to all the participants, and to the winning team.

Kevin is just the same skinny fella that he was back in Airborne school. Doesn't look to have aged too much at all.

I was talkin' English - ever try to communicate with a bunch of Batt Boys - like trying to talk to a bunch of Mu-reens...or barking sea lions during feeding time at Sea World. :rolleyes: :D

Teams deploy too much to properly prep. Need time that HQ elements have to get ready. :D

FWIW - pink font is used to denote sarcasm/humor around here. Here's an example:

I didn't know you were fluent in Toidi.

Here's an example of not using sarcasm/humor:

Don't look at me in that tone of voice.

And so it goes...

A couple questions about the Best Ranger Competition:

1.)Does it still receive television coverage?

I recall seeing it on ESPN or ESPN2 a few years a go but not sure exactly as I'm OCONUS.

2.)Have foreign/allied forces sent teams to compete in it?

If so, does anyone know how the best foreign/allied team has ranked in previous competitions?

Cheers!

Congratulations to them.

Also, congratulations to Pete Hartnett, representing 2/75, and his partner for getting fourth place!
