I've served with a SEAL who attended the Ranger course. I wouldn't piss on his guts if they were on fire.

I had no idea that Maj Nash had gone on to make GO. He was the Chief when I went through and I remember him as a great guy.

Most of the time in Training Group, the USMC officer was in a staff position.

Thanks for the good news.
