triplecanopy Posted June 14 Share #202 Posted June 14 MAC-V RECONDO School Coin (made post Vietnam) for those who graduated from this tough three week course taught by Special Forces Instructors at Nha Trang RVN and culminating with a real live fire field exercise against the enemy out there in the bush. MAC-V stands for Military Assistance Command- Vietnam. This course was one of the best schools I ever went to. It is a shame that RECONDO schools are no longer offered. Also shown are two original MAC-V RECONDO Patches and a 5¢ script from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplecanopy Posted June 15 Share #203 Posted June 15 This is the coin of the ARTB or Airborne Ranger Training Brigade at Fort Benning, Georgia. The number on it is my favorite caliber. ARTB is responsible for both Airborne and Ranger schools. There are the 4th, 5th and 6th Ranger Training Battalions to conduct the three phases of Ranger School plus the 1st Battalion 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment to carry out the Airborne training .

BryanJ Posted November 19 Share #214 Posted November 19 The “…don’t get caught at the bar without it” concept may have originated with the idea behind the “Short-Snorters”. Here’s an interesting article about that: https://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/famous-short-snorters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
