Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Just to add, so that all understand, there is no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE who can hang a candle or claim equality to someone who has ever served as a Mountain Ranger Camp, Ranger Instructor. We who have ever served in that capacity knows exactly what I mean. We have superived Ranger Students in the most diverse of weather conditions ranging from exteme hot to exteme cold, in the most absolute and austere conditions and geographcical locations far and beyond what any Ranger Instructor has ever encountered, with the most primitive and virtually impovisational conditions....done more and did it with less and with less "bitching" then any other Ranger Instructor throughout the entire Ranger Course...and that include being on Major Reservations such as Ft Benning and Eglin AFB. We have done more with less to the point where we as RIs can almost claim that we can just about do anything without any support and say...we have done our best, to the best of our ability, and we ask for nothing more....take over from here...all that came to train are still here! All who came to train are alive, and ready to be moved on to the next phase of training. All who came to walk our patrols in the weather that it is, and climbed our mountains on the ropes that we gave you are still here..ready to move on. That is the signature or a Mountain Ranger Camp, Ranger Instructor!!! |
