i was very specialized cadre at ranger school for a handful of rotations. i was the flight medic who did the hoist in mountain phase. fun as fuck, incredibly thrilling to soar over mount yonah hanging out of the side of a fucking helicopter and wave at a crowd of people on the summit and then hoist down. i have some shaky helmetcam footage of something similar to that on a card somewhere. the students and actual ranger instructors were all total chads. very nice people. i don't recommend going, it looks horrible.
