One of our church members came to church after the WTC attack and was wearing his Army uniform....Ranger. I never knew that.

Well you are just mistaken...I was a member of Special Ops in 1969 & 70. And it wasn't Recon. Semper Fi, Mike

Ok,I guess that makes this "True Confessions" time. I was a member of MACV-SOG running recon and Hatchet Force operations into Laos AND Cambodia from late 68 to late 69.This was the only "Spec Ops" operations going on at that time. I don't remember seeing you there. The ONLY Marines I know of involved with this in any way were a few USMC helicopter crews who inserted Hatcht Force platoons. This doesn't mean they were "Spec Ops" troops though,as this was strictly special assignment duty,and NOT a part of their regular jobs.

If you were working "Spec Ops" back then,who were you working with and what were you doing?

I think so too. He'll probably be back,though. If not with this screen name,with another one.
