| Ranger Battalions
Anyone here serve in one of the Ranger Battalions? I served in the 1/75th, early 1980's.

You're going to start a feud!  You know the 1/75th is number one! Actually, I wish I had signed up for the 2nd, Washington state is much nicer than south Georgia, in my opinion.

OF COURSE you wish you had signed up for 2nd BAT 
No sense in going through life remembering how you got to spoon with Georgia boys 
I was in the delayed entry program for 11 months awaiting my slot with a Real BN... back in Dec 77, when there were only 2 BNs and they were a FORSCOM asset, LOL.

The good thing is that us old farts can sit back and watch just how bad ass the young studs are these days... doing stuff we didn't even dream of...
Hell, this was as high speed as we ever got in my day, and the graphic was two years AFTER I moved on

Kinda off target with this shot but has anyone heard if they opened up a Merrils Maurauder Ranger Museum? I have some items that belonged to an original 5307th Composite Unit Merrils Marauder and would like to donate them. Any help Rangers?
