In the 1970's, my instructor was a US Ranger trained and qualified champion sky diver. Career professional officer. He treated me like a colleague. Many years after we parted, I managed to locate him, and did chat with him.

US ranger course (yellow tab) discontinued liao....because too many SAF sent over cannot pass....
Now left with local ranger (red tab) only....

If LHL had joined the US army, wonder what rank when retired. Captain? If up north, he is likely to be rejected. Not manly enough.

Could that be CPT Neo Keng Kok, OC SAF Parachute Wing?

What about KEE CHIU? What rank would he reach in the US Army? Corporal?
 
I heard a story of LHL worried for his life in Taiwan as soldiers were so fed up with his decision not to attempt a rescue of a vehicle that fell off a ravine. Extra MPs were called to protect LHL.

I like your comparison to "Power Rangers"
But the real rangers perservered to earn the right to wear the Ranger tab, and airborne wings.
I had a fellow commando officer who did not get the airborne wings, due to an accident.
But he is just as good as any commando officer.

"it is traditionally well accepted that a strong linear relationship exists between the rate of oxygen consumption and running speed (see figure 1), with energy expenditure increasing with increasing running speed"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_energetics

In english: The faster you run, the more energy consumed. Not only is it logical, it is linearly proven.

The load of the FBO is a different story. Who cares about damage to joints?!? You kena damaged, you attend C, you OOC. Simple. Cannot become ranger. It is a course to weed out the weak, and train the strong. After rangers have proven themselves by passing the course, they get the tab. Nobody ask them to continue running 10k FBO for the rest of their lives. Its only 60 + 1 day of running FBO 10km daily, that's all.

Nowhere did I write that you would not get injured. My friend got a stress fracture after day 7 proven on x-ray. But he tough, shut the F up and continued the course. And passed.

Sir, it is obvious that you are not a runner, and you are lacking in knowledge in sports science. You are like the old SAF that did a lot of unscientific and damaging things, like water parade right before sleeping, lousy canvas shoes on hard Tarmac etc.

When you run faster, you finish the distance in shorter time. Thhe energy usage rate is high, but total energy used over same distance is the same as someone running at slower speed, and burn energy at lower rate. Wind resistance plays only a small role at human jogging speeds. Physics and sports science 101.

Long distance running damages the knee joint, regardless of fitness level or will power. This is basic bio and sports science. Even the world best runners have to rest properly after running just a few consecutive marathons, so don't bs about rangers running 10 km FBO daily for two months, on top of other tough physical exertions. 2km FBO I can believe. 10 km daily FBO run means 100% failure rate, as no human can finish course.
 
For the ongoing debate on range course....any ranger graduate out there to shed some light?
Yellow and red tab kind only....no power ranger, park ranger, Lone Ranger pls
