misaltas 0 #33 March 10, 2006 Quote"Ranger Qualified" means simply having been through Ranger School and wearing the tab. Real Rangers are Battalion Rangers who have been through RIP, are stationed at a Ranger Battalion and wear the Ranger Scroll. In a way, yeah. But the phrase "simply having been through Ranger School"??? Nothin simple about it.Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperboy357 0 #36 March 10, 2006 So true about Rip!!!! I know quite a few who wear the tab but wouldn't make one day at battalion. I know some guys at 2nd Ranger Bat and they're tough. I'm still proud this young man decided to fight for his country though even if he wants to be a Marine. Marine is actually an acronym you know. Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Essential. Had to get my two cents in. Good for him and even better for our country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccowden 0 #37 March 10, 2006 No doubt. My hat is off to him for stepping up to serve his country in the Marines. I was just explaining the major difference between having the Ranger tab and wearing the Ranger scroll. Ranger school was tough, but RIP and being at a Ranger Battalion is simply like being at Ranger school for your permanent duty station. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joblades 0 #38 March 10, 2006 Well being in the service now( Army) for about 10 years and currently deployed I used to always think less of any other service man if it wasn't Army, I was so worng...where I'm at we have all branches and we all do the same thing. I couldn't believe when I was out on patrol and I saw an airman with a rifle and LIVE AMMO, OMG I though to myself..well we are all the same when the shit hits the fan and it really counts. Good for him to step up and serve our great country. So us bastards don' t have to do 3 tours in 5 years. Airborne~Freedom is never free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
