Damn! That’s why we haven’t heard from Willie “Round Ranger of Lenoir” Church for awhile! He’s there!!!
Go get em Church!
Good luck to all the Rangers competing! All my respect for the Army Rangers, among many others. For their devotion to complete the rigorous training to even become a Ranger and also for their service to our country! Special men, one and all.
Time to Ranger the F%/# up! Good luck men
RTFU! Best of luck to all the teams, especially the 82nd Airborne guys!
Shirtless pics or it didn’t happen.
awesome event
Shit like this should be national news and at least drum up the same excitement as March madness.
Marine Corps use to do Super Squad for infantry. They should bring it back.
Are there points for hotness? I would be glad to be a judge if necessary.
(chuckling) Was wondering how long it would be before some of our female readers would drop by . . . .
Seems like girls will be girls, too. (smile)
As long as everyone is made to feel equal, no one has their feelings hurt, parents remain calm and all receive a “participation award” … I imagine this competition can be a good thing.
All the teams receive a participation award – Blisters.
And they wear plenty of moleskin, too!

Maybe this is another occasion fake Rangers ought to be forced to attend while sporting their poser finery? That, and leave them alone among the real Rangers with no witnesses or cameras around!
Man, I’ll never forget the 2011 Best Ranger competition. One of my buddies from my cadet days was supposed to compete in it, so I watched it at work.
I ended up almost getting fired because one of the inbred retarded groundskeepers tattled on me.
It was worth it.
I am boycotting the Best Ranger Competition and the Masters Golf Championship because no women are allowed. I will not be participating in either as well until changes are made.
You’re in a feisty mood today, beretverde. (smile)
My man Hondo you busted me. Giving up “Go-go Juice” (aka ETOH) for Lent gets me fiesty at times!
The mystery event for day stakes (day #2) was construct an improvised antenna, ie a “Jungle 292.”
Brings back memories.
