Stolen Valor? Anybody current or former army ranger?

63/7=9. Dang field grades.

LMAO.

More of an infantry thing than field grade. I should have removed my boots!

SO, what color is the boat house at Hereford?

And no he isn't a Ranger. I am not nor a former Ranger. But he is not. No one even knows where FT. Leonard Wood is. Not even the people that went there. A lot of units host a Pre-Ranger School. Of which I attended one in Virginia. It is a prep course for Ranger school at the unit level. FT. Leonard Wood could have a Pre-Ranger course.

It's more than "kind of insulting"

Lol, true.
i will ask him, I know a lot of people don't see it as a big deal, but you learn everything in the military and for somebody just to slap it on it's kind of insulting

I believe sapper school is at Lost-In-The-Woods.

Lots of rope. Wonder if the pet gators are still down at camp rudder.

Don't know, didn't attend. But everyone I know that did talks about how good the pancakes were, and that every still praised them while throwing up after overeating.

@#$@$ XM68 is apparently an obscure designation for an aimpoint sight. How is it I can make some bullshit up out of my hiney and it ends up being tangible. Anyway, I think my point still stands.

Just read your last post and thought, "Wait a minute, XM68, that sounds familiar." For a minute thought I might be a full o chit poser myself.

Rather than publicize all possible information known to a ranger, just throw them a blind question.... aka, lie. Don't do it while attacking them. If your incredibly hostile, a poser will react accordingly. If you act friendly, and act more knowlegable on a subject than they are, a poser will be inclined to agree with you - always. A real ranger would be inclined to slap you for asking stupid questions.

You can pull them endlessly out of your ass.

For example:


So rather than try to elicit all possible knowledge about rangers to make it easier for these dicks to find it, just use basic psychology to feel them out.

I worked with such a liar once. He knew everything about everything. His stolen valor thing was he was a squid and somehow assisted SEALS in the PI. Highly doubtful.

So one day we were working in front of a slaughter house, as we got out of the truck I told another employee that watch the Squid probably knows something about a slaughter house. This was in southern California so knowledge would be unusual. As we were working I started with oh that would be interesting to tour the slaughter house.

The squid replied oh my uncle used to work at one, and then I kept asking more inane questions. It took everything to hold it together until me and the other guy could get back in the truck to drive to a new location. We were dying of laughter.

To your first question: "How the f*** should I know?"

And I do know where Fort Lost-in-the-woods is... Not strictly because that hell hole was where I did my basic training, but because I drove by it on my way home from ETSing in 2010... it's in the void between St. Louis and Springfield. No, I'm not kidding, there is a great big void between those two cities... There is absolutely nothing! Even the training areas on post are devoid of anything interesting.

And I really like Foxtrot's idea. We did that with one guy who claimed to be SF... not only didn't he know what an 18B was (although he claimed to be one), but we asked if he did training on the QBB-95. He went into a story about how they used it and deployed with it. When it came time to call him out I said "Really? You deployed using a Chinese light machine gun? I've only seen them, never actually got to hold one!" He felt about 10" tall after that.

[Tactical Joke]

I have never met anyone with a short tab who didn't know his Ranger class number.

He's not a Ranger.
