THE BATTAUt
A&M cadets earn honors at Ranger, airborne school
Seven Texas A&M cadets
heaped more laurels on the Ag
gie legends this summer.
The group headed by 1971-72
Corps of Cadets Commander
Thomas M. Stanley of Mount
Pleasant successfully completed
the Ranger School at Fort Pen
ning and Daloniga, Ga., and Eg-
lin AFB, Fla.
Two of the cadets—Jan C. Ber-
tholf of Annandale, Va., and Ste
phen O. Swanner of Pasadena—
were named honor graduates of
the 140-member Reserve Officer
Training Corps class going
through the Ranger course for
the first time. Swanner was also
the outstanding leader in his pla
toon.
Also earning the yellow and
black tab of the U.S. Army Ran
ger were Richard D. Curb of
Houston; John R. Dye, Fort Sam
Houston; 1971-72 head yell lead
er Jimmy D. Ferguson, Garland,
and Duane H. Spain, Houston.
Six of the seven Aggies earlier
this summer qualified for Air
borne by completing jump school
at Fort Benning. Dye injured his
foot in early summer jump
school, lost a week and planned
to go back for the Airborne patch
after the 10-weeks Ranger train
ing.
Col. Thomas R. Parsons, com
mandant at Texas A&M, said
Ranger School substituted for
summer camp at Fort Riley, Kan.
Rigid qualifications established
for the Ranger tab were not
lightened for the ROTC cadets,
though additional training such
as weapons qualification was re
quired.
Requirements of the course in
cluded long runs over Fort Ben-
ning’s red clay that turns into
sticky mud. The cadets climbed
across the face of Mt. Ono, look
ing 3,000 feet down into the val
leys of North Georgia. They
slogged through the coastal
swamps of Florida, where jungle
survival training is conducted.
“If you’ve got more like them,
send them to us,” a Ranger
school officer told Sgt. Maj. John
R. McDonald of the A&M Mili
tary Science Department. He at
tended the Ranger class gradua
tion.
“One of the cadre didn’t know
anything about Texas A&M,” the
sergeant major commented, “but
he does now. He was very im
pressed with our guys.”
The first Army ROTC group
to start Ranger School numbered
240 on June 10, beginning of the
10-week course. The 140 who
pinned on the Ranger tab “are
Rangers in every sense of the
word,” said Col. John P. Geraci,
Ranger Department director
when the course started.
Texas A&M started seven t
graduated seven, more thani
other college or university,!
institutions had two gr&dtu
but most had one.
Vol.
Thirty-three Texas A&M nfj
dets also successfully finiil
airborne training at Benning,||
of 35 who started. Two recei
minor injuries and expected)
return for a later jump sd
after the Fort Riley camp,
