Had I still been an RI and heard this song, the fucking writer would have gotten a major plus
Just like this little ditty (chaplains forgive us crazy ranger students :) )
Noah was a small boat captain
moses was a land-nav nogo
david was a small arms expert
goliath didn't wear his K-pot
Judas was a buddy******
LMAO
Are they wearing life jackets during the 40' drop?
If so, does anyone know when this started?

Wow...appears so. :doh:
When weak or non swimmers would no longer "bob"
(Being submerged underwater made it difficult for both the student who could not hear the RI's instructions and for the RI, who could not interpret acknowledgement of an ass chewing given the student based on just the bubbles alone..........)
Yea, I guess wearing a life jacket is an effective method of identifying weak or non-swimmers.
If I remember correctly we all had to wear life jackets no matter what skill swimmer you were; I went in '05.
Thanks. I imagine there must have been an incident that lead to that decision.

It wasn't like that in 2001. I remember getting a beautiful bloody nose hitting the water

LOL - that's what I was going to say!
Great photo's - too bad they don't still have desert phase.
As far as the pool goes, I remember breaking Ice and thanking the God's of Cold to be one of the first.....those poor bastards that had to wait in line for each activity truly froze their fucking asses off.
This among many other things dispelled my dumbass Yankee belief that the south was warm......
We broke the ice on Malvesti.....I shudder still thinking about it....that was one of the most god-awful experiences of my life so far....and I was sick for about two weeks afterwards.
they made us sing songs going down the zip line...i sang robert earle keane's "copenhagen"

we wore them back in 99, so it's not that new of a thing. Those fuckers are a pain in the ass because when you did the drop, you were guaranteed to blow a button on your BDU coat.
Quick question to those who been there. PL are selected randomly or are they NCO's/O's who are attending the School ?
It's basically whoever. They usually try to keep an O/NCO in a leadership position but they might not be in charge... I was TL/SL/WSL/PL but never psg through my times 
NOT!
I was a PL for actions-on during my second round in mountains, had a Battboy RI as my grader. He rode me hard the whole entire time and then on top of that gave me a no go, lol.
Everything was going great during our raid up until the opfor opened up with a 240 from on top of the hill directly above the objective we were assualting through... FML
