Some Ranger Pix

I would have given my left nut to have been a dog handler at Batt.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

Rangers Lead The Way!

Not a photo per se, but as awsome print non the less.

Awesome picture, I've really liked it.

Are they Rangers?

Are they Rangers?

Nope, it's just a drawing of Rangers.

Nope, it's just a drawing of Rangers.

Funny guy , c'mon, that's what I meant.

Another 75th Ranger (drawing to be clear )

I don't know why the print didn't go the first time, so here it go:

I love right handed/left eye dominant guys- especially when they fire their rifle lefty and pistol righty.

I'm left handed/right eye dominant, but I just do all my shooting right handed. When my grandpa first let me shoot rifles he put it in my hands and helped me shoot it, luckily, he did it right handed. That kept me from a life of shifty/switchy shooting.

I'm right handed/left eye dominant. So I always shoot with my left hand. My instructors always scratched their heads while I was on the range

That may possibly be the best job...EVAR!

How does one become a dog handler in Batt?

 

[goon175]

Be an E-5 11B who volunteers for it.

 

[Red Ryder]

Thanks.

When I was in the Regiment, we didn't have dog teams; however, we did have some boys in the mortar platoon that would bite and pee on the floor. :)

 

[Brian1/75]

Thanks.

There's a course you go through up at Benning though. It's a couple months long. You don't just start handling dogs one day after stepping forward.

I hate strykers with a burning passion.

Old:

New:

Back in the day, the original "Old Recruiting Poster" had the same caption at the bottom. It changed a couple of years later and was reformatted with the slogan shown.

 

[goon175]

I have the old one hanging in my office, any idea where one might find the new one? would be bad ass to have them hanging side by side.

I hate strykers with a burning passion.

Why is that?

Just out of interest, How long would one normally serve in the Batts? I understand with OP TEMPO the burnout would be high.. Could a Pvt go in for his entire career ? (obviously go up through the ranks to Senior enlisted)
