Just reflecting on the past. Just lost my mom last week. The time served in battalion taught me strength and fortitude . I’m a simple man but I learned to carry on because of being a ranger. It made a better man out of me ! We are only flesh and blood 🩸 humble but strong. Rangers lead the way 🇺🇸
Man I love this video. There was another one out there of 90s Rangers from 2/75 set to Metallica’s Wherever I May Roam which seems to have been deleted from YT. It’s crazy to see the same training events I participated in being done to the same standard with just older equipment. Love this shit. RLTW, A Co 1/75 2016-2022
It says to “keep comments respectable” so I won’t comment your name. You took an anchor from the ground free for the taking but you left the rope junk and the plastic piece in your hand you had it in your hand you couldn’t throw it awayDon’t like your videos
Back when all that mattered was how much you put out while wearing green. Elite we're truly elite because they put out just that little more than 100% than those who didn't and earned the Tab, Scroll, and Glory RLTW. God Bless
Regiment produces more senior leadership that any other unit of comparable size. My old CO, retired as a 0-9 in charge of the pacific. Frank Wiercinski. B Co. 3/75 88-92
Jumping into a fight with the K-Pot Kevlar Helmets was a terrible experience. The ear cover obscure peripheral vision and, back when the black beret was the Ranger Standard, we had heavy heavy heavy NODs (Night Optic Devices) we'd us metal plates stuck to the back of the K-Pot we bought ourselves (hardware and welding supply stores). That made weight that could break a neck from a jump. Luckily we never had much use of jumps when conducting America's War on Drugs prior to GWOT (Global War on Terror). Newer helmets have no ear covers when the issues were explored thanks to sf guys getting the right info to the right places. And modern NODs are much lighter. Pre GWOT Rangers are the last analog fighters, but Regiment never stays the same. It's always adapting and moving the regular Army into the future, but this was a good memory starter. Med Discharged 2001 2nd Rangers B-Co 275 at JBLM! RLTW! Thanks for this!
Bat Boys back before Shinsekie decided to give all soldiers a trophy beret so that no one would be left out and could feel like they were all "EE-lite soldier boys and girls. Nope couldn't pick out another color but had to take what was already a distinguished symbol and make it common to all.
I was aviation but lived in first battalion barracks.... On weekends aviation brigade and rangers alternated which chow Hall was open..... Never forget heading down in flip flops and shorts unshaved and on a Sunday morning for chow... F****** private nothing with a gold star in his jump wings tells me I got to go back upstairs and dress accordingly... I think I got the "come on dude it's Sunday" out of my mouth before he goes " first sergeant"........ That is a mistake you only make once in the army... Kind of like the first time they send you out to burn s*** when you're down range and you're too stupid to stand up wind.....
They work very well together but the guns are not that great,they work but are usually older weapons Wich is not fair,alot of things need upgrades.Tuft guys,great training regiment,smart....
Thank you, I know this is an old video but I have been looking for how the air burst works for a long time. Maybe DARPA needs to ignore all the electrical and laser crap and do it for 40 MM or rifle grenade I think for American . troops Ia football shaped 40 MM round would be easy to train on,
Yeah seeing the black beret where it belongs warms the heart. They never should have taken fromwarriors and given it to pogues and wannabees. Ranger up!
A US Marine Paratrooper / Rigger back in the 80's volunteered for Ranger School-all I got from the OiC was: " wasn't Boot Camp enough for you?" "You want to get smoked again?" My quiet demeanor with a smile on my face was the answer. Refused. Still got my Air Assault training in for vengeance years later.
I had a city week before I started Ranger School 1st class of 1974 they would serve apple fritters in the morning best I ever had! RIP CSM Donald Wingrove C company 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger " Ranger don't need no bridge"
