I ask him how the PT was going and he said "ok, it's just the damn mental things that bother me. They keep asking all these questions." Now thats a typical Ranger, weak mind strong back. I think he's going to be all right...Tom glad to hear you are going to make it home. Stay safe and we will see you in Nov.RLTW |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: c.piland Message: my manners. hello to all!!! T. Wilburn, A. Parten and the rest of you. it has been several years since i even got on this website. sorry it has been so long. i did take the time to review the messages from old. to ranger Bob Kaufman, i did run into the newer version of sgt. Hershey at FT. Bragg back in "95" when i was with 18th ABN CORP LRSC. it was kinda funny as i walked up to him in passing i immediatley recognized him, but i was used to seeing non-com rank on his bdu's. he graciously accepted my salute to my surprise he was a 2nd lt.(butter bar) we shared a few quick laughs and were then on our way.once again would like to say hi to all that know me, i am still a cop and still live in south Texas. i have taken up flying and now fly airplanes as a hobby. also made the SWAT tm at my respected Police Dept. was wanting to ask any other rangers here how i can get my hands on a "Ranger handbook" some of my fellow swat members need lessons in KNOT tieing, plus there is alot of info in it that i would just like to freshen up on. i found one here locally, but was very spendy $$$. also joined the Texas Lipan Apache tribe and currently a member of the gourd dance society. its for warriors or veterans. hehee i was able to hide my heritage from my fellow ranger buddies there in the mountains. we always got made fun of for god knows what, so i figured i would keep that to myself. yes i am an Apache indian, but oh well. to Al parten...who could ever forget the "x-man" that dog was your best pal..he went everywhere with you. well it being December i will say to everyone 'Merry Christmas" if i dont make it back on here before then.i was also saddened to hear about the fallen comrades that i learned about while reading past messages.and i always ask...but has anyone heard from or talked to Al Brashier..if so..please tell him i said hi....good friend..and i know that he and T. Wilburn were close. nothing but respect for you all...RLTW!!!! |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: horkan3 Message: Anyone know if the Mountain Ranger camp still issues instructors mountain boots and, if so, what kind? When I was there in 81-82 they issued a boot that reminds me of a Danner boot but about 6 inches in height. I'm sure Joe, Hawk, and a few others on here remembers them. Stay Safe, George |
