Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other Soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

Rangers lead the way!

i still say even those guys had it easy.

as i went through MEPS Raleigh station in the late 90s the old doc was retiring. So he had a Really cute young doc she must have been early 30s.

so our butthole checks weren’t quick. we stood there while the two of them were starring down our buttholes and he would point things out.

so no i don’t like to hear my daughter complain about how mean her manager is at the coffee shop.

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - The U.S. Army identified the soldier who was killed when/a semitruck collided with her armored Stryker vehicle on a highway in Bavaria earlier this week. Army officials on Thursday said 1st Lt. Hailey Hodsden, a platoon leader with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment's 4th Squadron, was killed Tuesday in the crash near the village of Tirschenreuth. The 24-year-old Dripping Springs, Texas, native was traveling in the Stryker when it merged onto northbound Autobahn 93 about 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.

A semitruck traveling in the right lane collided with the Stryker, Weiden highway police said.
Preliminary findings indicated that Hodsden was looking out from an open hatch when the collision occurred. The hatch struck and injured Hodsden, who was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, police said. The accident happened about 40 minutes north of Grafenwoehr Training Area, the Army's largest permanent training area in Europe.

In 2013, U.S. Army Green Beret Nick Lavery stepped in front of machine gun fire during an insider attack in Afghanistan, saving a teammate but losing his own leg.

The burst shattered his leg and severed his femoral artery, forcing an above-the-knee amputation to save his life.

Instead of retiring, Lavery underwent more than 30 surgeries and intense rehabilitation, determined to return to duty.

By 2015, he became the first above-the-knee amputee in U.S. military history to return to active combat, later completing elite training courses and continuing his service.
