We had a "Special Forces" (now called "Ranger) detachment; what we called the PR's is unprintable in this forum While they were twirling rifles, we were in the field..

I was in AOBC at that time

We used to do FTXs with the "Rangers". They couldn't keep up on a 20-miler to save their hide.

I was AFROTC and the only AF cadet in the PR. Was a strange thing apparently. I gotta say though, having the purple cord on my shoulder in my dress blues really made me stand out. Much better than the boring Arnold Air Society cord.

Yes, I was drill team and color guard; yes I wore the chrome dome; yes I twirled my rifle with the greatest of ease; and yes, I'm proud of it. No others eh? oh well.

One FTX we caught the PR's holed up in a barn sleeping out of the rain, slipped up on them and at dawn woke them up with about 4 M60's on full auto with blank bandolears hooked together..besides making the barrels glow, we scared their pants off

James Earl Jones, G. Gordon Liddy and Colin Powell were.
