truly one of the happiest days of my life, ranger school graduation. lt doyle from my company was in my class and graduated with me. as you can see, i already starting putting weight on. graduation was about 2 weeks after we were allowed to start eating again and i am gorging myself to chubbiness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cpt bostick flew out to our graduation. i could hardly even begin to comprehend that i finally earned, and could wear, that covetted ranger tab.
