    Cuba Allows Peons to Own Cell Phones

    You are right. Forget 200 years of almost continious unrest, lack of technology, corrupt goverments pocketing foreign aid and failure to follow IMF policy. Everything went down hill the minute they attempted our free market policies. Reductionism in action.

    [/COLOR] Those are COMSEC guys right? I imagine you did something with ANCDs. That I understand. Getting flagged for promotion and having no favorable actions is not the way to go, if one is career. I just happened to be on my way out and enjoyed having an excuse not to attend...

    Ranger versus Commando

    I imagine she is and I don't think she was trying to engage in any sort of branch rivalry either, tho it may seem like it. I'm not sure what kind of exposure you have had with Marines, but once you understand their mentality, it provides a much better context for her comment. Then why are...

    Ranger versus Commando

    Becuase they are not part of SOCOM. DELTA Selection is almost identical to SF Selection, except the land nav. course is 40 miles with a 45 pound ruck with legs no longer then 7 or 8 miles. In my opinion, from what "wash outs" have told me, is that passing their selection doesn't gaurentee...

    Really?...man things change. I breezed through RIP as a Tabbed E-4, but that is was in early 05'. However, how much your MOS is needed is going to dictate if you get in or not. Thats the madness of it, they allow boat loads of Privates to ship in when Regiment only needs a handful of 11Bs at...

    Cuba Allows Peons to Own Cell Phones

    Poor comparison. Hati's economic plight derives from numerous problems, such as a skilled work force fleeing the country, low technology, land erosion and not to mention to the ever shifting goverment and various failed policies with received aid. Any country that is almost totally dependent...

    Update on Me.

    Yuck :sick: Still, a Tabbed E-5 would have a heck of a better time in RIP then your poor cherry fresh from BAC. It's an excellent option. A lot of times, RIP is unfair simply becuase there are too many qualfied recruits for the limited number of slots available. So, if you get hurt or...

    What exactly is an "elitist"?

    I think this post is a great example.

    Update on Me.

    Hey guy, Just ETS'ed myself. Word of advice, if you don't find RIP to your likeing ( No one does ) and for some reason get bounced, try to get into the 82nd Airborne. You can get Ranger school faster and get some Team Leader time, then when you make E-5, apply for ROP ( Ranger Orientation...
