How many combat jumps you got, anyway? Respect's a two way street and I'll give it where it's due... but right now, I don't see any reason. You're shit talking about missions you weren't on with a unit you weren't with.

In closing, I'd like to ask if there's some issued manual at SFAS regarding mandatory envy of other SOF elements missions, equipment, manning? It really seems prevalent in the discussions here, nary a new technology or even current technology/equipment discussion passes without some snide remark of that flavor.

Have a very Ranger day.

I'm afraid you're not going to find many allies on this thread. My combat jump was with C 3/75 in Panama. I spent 6 years at Batt as did many SF guys on these boards. I also have the honor of having been in SF and an 18D. Many of your TCCC techniques were developed by 18D's before it ever made it to the Regiment.

The only Anti-Ranger sentiment on these boards is the one in your head. Show some respect and grow up.

Interesting article, 98G. Thanks!

Kudos to COL Kotwal; he sounds like the kind of soldier who will never receive all the recognition he deserves officially, but views the admiration of his fellow soldiers as the highest form of praise he can ever be accorded, anyway. Zum wohl, Sir!

And so it goes...

I hope you were saused when you posted. I can guarantee you that a lot of the QP's here have served in one of the RGR Co's or Bn's and a lot have earned the TAB Also.
