My 11A son completed his PL rotation and now moved into an XO role in 2/27 Wolfhounds at Schofield. I know his second JPMRC is coming up so this is very interesting to listen to.
Was at Benning 94-97. Pretty sure I saw Col. Hardman in my chow hall when his Ranger chow hall was shut down every few weeks. Thanks for serving….. Worked at the ASP and saw the Rangers weekly. Sgt. Phipps, Sgt Floyd. Cpt. Steel.
Men with all due respect, for you have the best content to have a channel for and i'm subscribed immediately, why do literally all of the Army microphones sound like 20 dollar logitech webcams? You can get a Blue USB mic for 100 dollars sounds crystal clear at the highest encoded fidelity allowed on youtube
We are in the process of purchasing our own equipment. Currently we are utilizing Post’s facilities and equipment. Not to mention the steep learning curve
In my day there was no such thing a "PFC Ranger". The only way you got to Ranger was if you were a stellar performer as a SP4 on the E-5 List, or you were a qualified SGT or SP5 11B with in-depth or combat experience. There was also a 30% attrition rate at Ranger School.
Ranger School maintains a 60% success rate historically. By PFC Ranger, we meant that he was in fact an actual Ranger in 1st BN, 75 Ranger Regiment instead of having just graduated from the school.
There have literally always been PFC Rangers. WW2 Rangers had privates. The Korean Rangers Companies had privates. The LRRPs and 75th Infantry had privates. And the modern Rangers, the 75th RR, has privates. So idk what era "back in your day" was, but there were definitely Ranger PFCs. Ranger school and Army Rangers are two entirely different things. Ranger school hasn't produced a Ranger since the 50s

I wish this episode were longer. I could listen to Col Leclair ALL DAY! This guy is really all about taking care of soldiers!
It’s one of our favorite episodes as well
Mustangs are the best!!! Rangers Lead The Way. Semper Fi from a Marine Grunt. Rangers are AWESOME!!!
Always glad to see other mustangs succeed.
25:07 old memories and emotions starting to bug….
I loved hearing from Col Leclair. I would appreciate hearing from some NCOs and their perspective on a rotation to JRTC.
We’re working on just that.

Back in our day we were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Private rangers were stacking bodies in an operational ranger company.
