Morelike a painful manner Ertman.LOL But I will say this, one Ranger slipped over a fence and cut his thumb of which he was taken to the hospital for medical attention. He probably slipped from laughing so hard.

The boy scouts probably would have put up a tougher defense.[]LOL



No Not Really Delta. We actually had beer bets going on. But with the training these guys had and compared to what they were going up against, even the Rangers stated that they did not do to bad in their AAR. Plus 99.9% of these guys are all volunteers , and are just trying to learn proper tactics "in Case" the have to do any type of homeland defense.

Roger that Blake. It just wasn't a fair fight. You have Rangers who train all the time on this, and many who are probably recent combat vets, going up against a group that maybe practices this sort of thing one weekend out of a year. I'm sure they enjoyed the training and learned much from it.[thumbUp]

The funniestthing I seen was when the exercise was over and we were getting ready for breakfast and debrief, one of the Rangers lost his Night vision set. Trying not to be too obvious..but one could tell that his 4th point of contact was puckered and it wasn't from the cold. LOL

But good news as they found it , of which saved this young Ranger an A$$ chewing plus Article 15.
