D	Doug Xenis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I joined the Regiment in 1957. In those days we used battle dress in winter and olive drab "bush" uniforms in the summer. We drilled with Lee Enfields No. 4 mk 1s with the spike bayonets and our LMG was the BREN. We also had a Browning Medium Machine gun. We went on summer camps at Wainwright AB, Workpoint Barracks in Victoria, Hamilton-Gault barracks in Edmonton and Vancouver In about 1960 ish we were issued with the FN-CIAI rifle, a beautiful rifle that used a twenty round magazine and fired 7.62 mm rounds (.308 Cal.). Beautiful to shoot. I spent until 1965 in the regiment. We raided the Air Force Radar st on Mt. Lolo just north of Kamloops. Once with 5 of us and once with a whole platoon of about 28 we snuck upthe road and then up the mountain. Over the fence at about dawn and then a former Commando bashed in a window and we were in . Down to the room with two dozen TV displays and a giant illuminated map on the wall and that was it. Great times. I ended my time as a lance Staff Sgt. before I went to Simon Fraser University.

G	Gary on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What makes the Rocky Mountain Rangers unique is that they only use rockets and grenades, as opposed to the legendary C7 machine gun. When deployed to Afghanistan they were tasked with rescuing women and children from the bad guys. Interestingly, unlike inferior trained units like the Royal Vandont's, The Prince Patty's (abbreviated PP, and ironically an all male unit named after a woman) and the Royalty Westminster Westies (who act like regforce and forget their only weekend warrior bullet sponges) all members are required to attend CSOR selection. One could argue that CSor is inferior to the Rangers as the Rangers are on par with their American counterpart the 75th Ranger battalion while CSor is infantry with silencers larping as jtf2. Their motto, "Rocky Mountain Rangers Lead the Way" can be traced back to legendary warrior Michael Stubley, the founder of their regiment "Stubleys Rangers"
