New on Paratrooper--help!

[CAL]

To clear up some confusion, he is vetted as a Paratrooper and service in RVN. Where in RVN I cannot vouch.

[307th_ACE]

I don't know --

I really want to help the fella in a way -- we all have our problems -- some of us more than others.

I don't know much about who was where in 'Nam, but the whole thing sounds like it was a major suck for the troopers on the ground.

If he did not embellish his travels, I say good enough. Can anyone put this together enough to say if this is the case or not?

[RH]

Ok, this is me when it comes to computers.
So, I am 'AIRBORNE' (helmet 837) class 40-45-49 companies.
I served with B-2/504 82nd/ E-2503 173rd Recon long time ago.I did what I had to in service to country.
I hope there are more out there from 67/69 era.
AIRBORNE to all.

LRRP's (rations) was in for us at the end of my tour, although the 75th rangers is who we stole them from, just like our beer..
I also did time with B-2/504, 82nd at Bragg--devils in baggy Pants and Basic there in 67.
Just for your info, I don't know this high tech shit, but I can read and I did bring 'BEER' So, what else is there to an intro, as I did read it and it doesn't say that I have to tell my life history just to make you feel good about yourself?
ok, as stated before, 49th company--31May 68

Blackflagg509, thanks for the welcome and 82 negitive responce, shit is still around,A? No one is perfect like you?

Ace, I have a news flash for ya, none on here can dishonor my service because my papers are in order, fact not bullshit, like most of this here. Whatever happened to

'The Airborne brotherhood' or did it just get washed away with a daily 'douche'?

Just curious--still 'AIRBORNE' even after death!

Gator, I did answer the ? go back in the thread.
I will answer them again, just for you.
Question 1. is . no, I have never been in Ap Bia=the Ashau valley, and neither was he.
question 2. we did missions across the river without permission ie. Geneva Convention rules, and this at times was a mistake, but on purpose a lot of times, ask any LRRP or even Ranger recon team.

school May of 68, 49th class, I can scan the cover and the page that my name is on, could even do the picture if you really like as my shit is boiling as hard as the rest that want my ass; as one of you said to me earlier, we kick em when thery are down. I already sent my 214 and clearance papers out of the 82nd, Did you do this or anyone else on here? you can give shit but I am not supposed to, what kind of game is this? ask cal on the info or chris. I checked the scan before i sent it and it was good in my sent mail, if not I will try again. AND I DID ANSWER YOUR ? .check the posts..

THANKS FOR THE FUN--'AIRBORNE'

Ace, not trying to piss you off, just saying the way things were; by the way, our teams were said to have more kills than the company, check it out. also don lassen at benning, I used to belong to that rag, plus the 173rd, 82nd (life member) so how did I do that with forged papers? or bullshit.
Time for me to call it a night, got to get up to work.
Airborne! ATW.

Ace, been trying to post the answer's, sent to cal and chris by email, which I can do, but not good on this or threads. Tried for 20-30 min's. got booted. Hopefully they will post for me.
I did do some bullshit just to see what was what, just like you all. Let me know when you get the answers. I never tried to pump up my service one bit, I don't have to do that because it was insignificant to some that gave more.
Goodnight.

To Gator and Ace.

1. I did not hump the Ap Bia (Hill 937) know as the Ashau Valley, but did the 'An Loa Valley'
2.Never knew what 'Lower Jumper' is or was, must be getting senile or forgot. Did serve with B-2/504 devils in baggy pants TRUE! 82nd Airborne. The only thing that I can think of is when someone jumps down on my chute and steals the air and I drop like a rock. I have had that done and I have also got in an 'air-pocket' for awhile and took pic's with my kodak instamatic, maybe 124? been a long time..
3.Never heard of 'Lone Star beer', if it was around in the area in my time, just the sound would keep me away from it AND not putting down you or your state, TRUE!
4.Also did 'Corregidor in Nam.
5 Did serve with E.2/503-173rd in Nam.
6. Did jump school in may of 68---49th company, see Cal for details. or Chris
7. 307-Ace I am not a 'hero' they are on the 'Wall' so don't go there. I am 'evasive' because of what and how the Gov. and American people treated us and our own 'kin,' in my case.
I just did my time to get out of that hell hole. Have you ever slept in the monsoons and mountains when you thought you were going to freeze or killed or get it bysnakes and spiders; etc? Ace, not you or anyone else on the site can down my service or dishonor it, I did't do 20, but I did what was asked and did so 'Honorable' , reenlistment code is re-4, can't get any better than that? right?
8. I can tell by Skysoldier dates that he wasn't in or on hill 937, did you see him deny or confirm it? Everybody is a 'Historian' ? Ace, wasn't being 'hostile' just said what I meant, Ranger wasn't for me because 'I' was drafted, didn't want any more time in if I could help it.. I said that quite plain in the thread, but you all took it wrong, shit happens!
9. Now if you don't trust people, I can relate to that, just put it right out front, send DD-214 before getting on this site, this would get rid of the wannabees, sound right.
If they are 'Stamped from there state Veterans Services, pretty much full proof..
10. If I didn't get all the questions answered, just ask the rest, but look in the past threads.

Airborne!

[307th_ACE]

O.K. -- a slightly condensed version:

Quoted from all over in the preceding mess:
Statement #1:
Did some humping in the ashau and Anlo valley,

Statement #2:
1. I did not hump the Ap Bia (Hill 937) know as the Ashau Valley, but did the 'An Loa Valley'

Statement #1:
And yes, we had c's from ww2 and pineapple's. LRRP's (rations) was in for us at the end of my tour, although the 75th rangers is who we stole them from, just like our beer..

Statement #2:
I hope there are more out there from 67/69 era.

From the 75th Ranger Regiment History: http://www.soc.mil/75thrr/75thrrhist.html

Rangers were again called to serve their country during the Vietnam War. The 75th Infantry was reorganized once more on Jan. 1, 1969, as a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System. Fifteen separate Ranger companies were formed from this reorganization. Thirteen served proudly in Vietnam until inactivation on Aug. 15, 1972.

Possible to steal from them but a pretty close time-wise -- not familiar with the history to this level of detail myself, but suspect it takes more than a few months to 1) stand up a Ranger regiment (or company), and 2) infiltrate them well enough to steal beer and LRRP rations.

Sorry Buddy, gonna have to call bullshit on your stories. I have to admit its hard because you are a vet, and were a paratrooper, and I suspect you need some buddies to talk to. I suggest you don't come through the door with bullshit and attitude next time.

[Altimeter]

Damn, RH! I dont think I have ever seen that many quotes in one post before. That has to be a record! He did make some claims, and then try to back pedal though, didnt he?

[VB]

So RH, did you get a nut after doing that?

Nice job.

[wildcat]

To all.
Not trying to embellish my service or pump up anything. I don't know how to prove on the ground, but E-co. first shirt was 'White' Sgt. Ron Foils team leader. John Campbell
more but will conclude with Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herbert was 2nd bat co. I also have several 'certifacates' signed by Gen. H.S. Cunningham & John W. Barns. Two Photos will go to Chris or cal, If this isn't enough, I am gone.
wildcat--out!

[Altimeter]

He is not a friend of 'Ghost', is he?

[AbnJack]

Question 1. is . no, I have never been in Ap Bia=the Ashau valley, and neither was he.

8. I can tell by Skysoldier dates that he wasn't in or on hill 937, did you see him deny or confirm it? Everybody is a 'Historian' ?

He seems to have called Skysoldier out a few times. Surprised he's gotten away with that.

[wildcat]

Ok, my fucking computer works great on short answers, but I don't do well on these threads. On email, I can do fine.
Thanks for the post, Cal-Chris,
