I had plans after Infantry Officer Basic to stay at Benning and go through Ranger school.
In my basic course we went to the woods in January that year for three weeks with the Ranger's for Ranger training...haha!!
It was a cold rainy most every 24/7 intensive three weeks ending with a water survival course on the last day with the air temp 40 and the water temp not much higher.
After that I said :wtf: and let that plan go by the wayside.
You the man Chris for doing what you did. All of you are we all had our experiences and challenges and came out a better person on the other side and somewhat sane.
