Oh, wait a minute...he doesn't work any more. Okay then, please, just tell him I said to get well and go home for Christmas. And quit being so cranky. And we love him. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Tom Wilburn Message: I will travel early Wednesday from Fort Meade, Maryland to be present and honor those being inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame. Tentative plan has us staying at Fort Benning through Friday morning. I plan to attend the BBQ on Wednesday afternoon and the Change of Cmmand on Thursday. I will have an old 1-75 Ranger buddy, Mr.Gordon Hockman, traveling with me both days. His son is now in 1-75 currently serving OCONUS. We plan to visit the old Ranger Department area and walk down memory lane before the pines reclaim all signs of that sacred place. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: JIM OWENS Message: The Policy was changed to; The Ranger Students would not complete the Swamp Crossing at night, which included a river crossing, if the Temp Dropped below 50 degrees before they entered the Swamp/Water. The P.I. would call in the Temp to the Base Commander for permission to enter the water. |
