  I am a Rakkasan. I am also a former Marine. The combat tours I did with the Rakkasans convinced me that I was in an Elite unit. That is the mentality and the results we achieved support this.

  You have a great gift of communication Ryan. That gift is obviously coupled with excellent work ethic, dedication to reality and love of country. You are the right man for many jobs.

  As a First Calvary Red Leg of 52 years ago. I remember slinging guns below Chinooks . I even saw to two Chinooks sling load a single gun working together. I doubt that’s done any more. <br>As you mentioned Ryan any time the turbine is running your consuming fuel. This is critical in the planning stage.<br>A very well done report.

  Those of us who have served in the 101st anytime since the late 70s knows that what the 101st does is unique and far more capable in terms of extended air assault operations and direct air assault operations than anyone else except maybe the 160th SOAR.

  I was in the 326th/801st MSB forward area surgical team from 91 to 95. I graduated The Air Assault School in March of 92. We were an air mobile squad that would go to stabilize critically wounded soldiers for transport back to the aid station and ultimately to a hospital for proper surgery.

  My son is a young Air Assault soldier in the 101st Recon Platoon, I make him watch all of Ryan’s videos, usually on FaceTime and then we discuss. &nbsp; My hope is that Ryan’s job of leading and training young soldiers NEVER come to an end. &nbsp;I believe that so many soldiers and current leaders can, and do, learn something with each one of Ryan’s videos making him still integral to the Army’s mission. &nbsp;Thank you Ryan. &nbsp;Your hard work , knowledge and willingness is MUCH appreciated. &nbsp;The knowledge in these videos is what keeps our troops alive, our military lethal and success of the mission inevitable.
