I was with F/51 (LRP) from Sept of ‘67 until the company was split up to make room for D/151, an Indiana National Guard LRP company, when I went to O/75, with the 3rd Bde of the 82nd, in February of ‘69. At that time, we went from being LERPs to being Rangers though nothing changed in our mission and we weren't officially authorized the black beret. I don’t know any LRRP/LRP/Rangers who wear the tab without having gone to Ranger School, but you never know these days.
I’m curious as to whether he served on a team but, at this point, I don’t see any real alternatives to Duncan Hunter and I support him.

I remember bush hats, while the rest of us (1/26th, me) were stuck with steel pots. We (1st Bde) made the move from PV to QL in late Nov 67....no wire around most of it to start/first few daze. Most Div Bn’s were forming new Delta co’s as I arrived.
