Props to Sergeant Alvarez. Although age may be “no limit” it certainly makes it physically tougher and makes the mental and “willpower” aspects more important. And Alvarez can now wear that Ranger tab with well-deserved pride.

“He’d been slated to attend in 1999, but instead was sent to Combat Diver Qualification Course first. Then the 9/11 attacks kicked off years of high operations tempo that kept him posted overseas or deployed much of the time since.”
Already SF, then spends most of the time since 9/11 in high tempo combat operations?I’m glad he got a few months to kick back and unwind.

Why do you choose to give credit for this story to the hacks at ASJ rather than following the link yourself and posting from the original source at Stars and Stripes?
The obvious answer would be that you’re a paid shill for ASJ. I know I couldn’t be bothered to read their crap unless they paid me.
