Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Earl Singletary Message: Al, I was on a remote out post with a Vietnamese Ranger Co. Near the Cambodian border. The Rangers kept coming up to me and pointing at the moon and jabbering. I couldn't figure out what the hell they were talking about. There was a big bright moon that night. I had been out for a while and didn't know what was going on in the world. I found out later and felt like a real dumb ass. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Chris Piland Message: Hello fellow Ranger buddies, It's been a long while since I posted anything on here. I just wanted to ask anyone if they know of anyone who is pulling tours with any of these following groups: Triple canopy, Securitas Seguridad Espana,S.A. and of course Black Water. If so, I am just curious as to what they have to say and if they like it. The opportunity has presented itself and I am just curious to see if it's worth it. I do hear that the money is very good, but still you never know. Chris RLTW!!! |
