Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: jJim Owens Message: Mike Keohane: That is OUTSTANDING--I know for the rest of his Military career he never forgot that night. HELL …. We have all probably learned one of these type of lessons in our time, I know I have....But that’s the best way to learn and not have to die to get that valuable knowledge...When we do those types of drills of course everybody and their brother complains, but the truth is we all learned or took something from those drills to put in our tool bags for later use. I know I had some excellent Instructors in my time, who took the time to teach me VERY WELL…..Some of them even referred to me as “DAMN YOUR HARD HEADED” that was Master Sergeant Cheshire’s favorite name for me......I think I still have his hand print on the back of my head……. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Mark Jordan Message: ...if someone can find out how to get this Ranger Mom her son's Class Picture, please let me know...below is the message I got... hello - I don't know if you can help me or not, but thought I would at least give a try... my son graduated from Ranger school in October 10...one of the two classes from that year with no 'class photo' available online. Like a lot of moms, I expect, I have a wall that is dedicated to all of his graduations & achievements, and cannot believe that after surviving that brutal training there is no photo to commemorate it! I have tried to contact the 75th's media office at Ft Benning but have not received response. Kiddo is 23 years old and just returned from his 4th deployment...I continue to be amazed at his strength... any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated! thank you, Donna S |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Jim Regn Message: Thanks Ranger Bob. Thought my "CRS," (can't remember stuff,) had kicked in. That's good news about the release of the Camp territory to US Army. No excuses now about how they can't get things done. Get to know, more better,the DEH at the Camp. (Guy who runs Directorate for Housing and Facilities.) Treat him/her right. They can work "Magic." Had an O-5 AT Darmstadt, and one at Fortress Belvoir who, "got 'er done!" Worked REAL close w/ the DEH Sergeant Major, both locations. They loved having the CSM behind them when they had to take something to their Boss! Don't know the Rank structure of the Camp support folks. If they have a Sergeant Major (Boy that'd be a job for us 'bout thirty yrs ago.) Ya'll take care, stay warm & dry. Jim RLTW/L&P |
