can confirm. when i was in 1st Ranger Battalion (1991-1996), we had only a few black guys there. 1 of them was my Platoon Sgt., and he was a bad ass that had jumped into Grenada and Panama. Best Platoon Sgt. i ever had. i learned so much from that man, mostly the hard way. lol he was definitely high speed, low drag, and tough as fucking nails!
