First of all. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping this great country of ours in every aspect you do. I beleive as time goes people forget that we have thousands of men and women still fighting for this country overseas.

Awesome pictures btw. Glad to see another soldier come home!

 

Dude THANK YOU for all that you do. Its the brave souls of people like you that ensure a better life for us in the U.S. Congrats on the Purple Heart too.

 

are you in the 101? they're the best damn airborne division ever! /salute

 

yes 101st Airborne/Air Assault Division

 

yeah that the 101st airborne division insigna(sp), the screaming eagles. my favorite army division along the 82nd airborne division. is every guy in your unit a ranger like you or only a handful? i thought rangers are special foces and they have their own units like the ones at ft benning, georgia.. i didn't know there are rangers in the regular army division.. how does this work? thanks..

 

i say about 20% of Infantry officers in the 101st is a Ranger qualified and about 10% in the Army are Ranger qualified.
You have to go to Ranger school to be Ranger qualified and after that you can go to Ranger Battalion.
Being Special Forces doesnt mean that you are a Ranger. I cant go Ranger Battalion until one year later and I will try out for Special Forces in about a 1 1/2 year.

 

thanks man..you're way too cool..future Green Beret?
