Troop is tabbed RANGER I got setup yesterday he surprised me
I’m on a ramble du community I’m happy.young Ranger has made the course tabbed a fucking stud , My wife knew and our children knew he was coming. And they kept it a secret, I was outback grilling burgers and dogs and I heard hey airborne. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek and forehead all 74 inches of him. I think I embarrassed him cuz I was throwing tears, he was like come on man I’m ok.
I told him I love you like a son and I worry for you , I told him after his high school graduation do not join the army and do not go infantry and do not go airborne. And he didn’t listen to me I cannot say anything as I did not listen to my old man.
I have known young Ranger since he was probably three years old. His mom moved home with her mother were neighbors country neighbors about half mile apart. I saw a lonely little man back then in 2003 and i made him part of my world.
I coached him in t ball and little league, I’d bring him along fishing and hunting. I used to carry his little ass across the creek as I have done for our girls and son on my back as little people at the dam and we would fish together. Sitting between my legs on a rock we would get a hit here boy we got a fish reel it in kiddo.
I have pulled over in middle of night driving truck pulling doubles replying to his drunk text calling him on phone. When he was Cherry paratrooper at Bragg and his girl high school sweetheart broke up with him. He was drunk crying she broke up with me.
I told him it’s better this way you do not need her down in the asshole of the world Fayetteville. 82nd does have its share of the dark rapist wife beaters assaults robbery, two guys that lived across from me enlisted like me always had cash they were in my platoon and we were friends. Here they were pulling robberies when we were in Garrison.
They would ask me hey wild b you wanna go out tonight no fellas I’m short on cash , no problem b here is a 40$ so you have cash in your pocket for the ladies dude told me his dad sends him cash. Guys I can’t pay you back till payday wild b it’s a gift ok let’s go. They got busted after the one airborne brother got shot trying pull a robbery. Didn’t take long for army and Fayetteville police put it together.
Trooper and his girl were gonna get apartment off base please I’d tell him. You been in division 6 months and you have been busier than a one arm paper hanger.if you love her then let her go she is in college. You raised your hand you chose this ,so I don’t wanna hear you crying.
