He who shall not be named has his website up and running. I took a look for a laugh.  You gotta check this out.  Our memberships are transferable.  The best part they ask about joining but don't tell you how.  Gotta love that.  I give it two months before it colapses.

[notaNCO forever]

Post a link to the site please.

I found the application.  It actually asks if you are/were a Civil Air Patrol member. 

[Flying Pig]

Wow....from reading the site, it makes some pretty wild claims about nationwide service considering theres only a handful of members in FL.    If our memberships are transferable, Im thinking this could be my fast track to Major General?

[0]

Could be.  I'm sure he'd do it. He likes giving out grade like candy. 

[kpetersen]

What I find funny is on the "Join" page, they make you submit the application and get approved, then log in to make your payment.  It doesn't say how much the membership costs...

[0]

It does, it says 60.  It's on another page and on the application.

[CASH172]

What's with the logo on the building?

[kpetersen]

I'm bline--I even had the application open.

Why would they want to know the make/model (sometimes tag) of all your vehicles...and the number of horses you own?

PLANTATION, FL.  Saturday, April 26, 2008 was the inaugural meeting of the Command Council of the United States Ranger Corps. The members of the Council reviewed and signed the Constitution of the USRC, lead by Major General Tony Pineda.

The Council put the finishing touches on the ground work for an exciting, new volunteer organization that will provide much needed humanitarian assistance to our communities, states, and Nation as well as providing education and training to its members.   

Who's on the council other than TP.  And didn't the NOTF or somebody report he's a Lt Gen?

Maybe he changed his mind and went back to the Maj Gen for now.

For the Search & Rescue missions they won't get on for a long time.  Most likely so your vehicle will be granted access.  The horses well they hope to be cowboys and make wild, wild west rescues.

 What a bunch of lies they make it sound like their organization is huge and all over the country when it only consists of a spitefull crazy leader and a few followers stupid enough to believe him. I also doubt they allready have uniforms like they say they do.

[0]

I missed the uniform part.  My favorite is the picture with their seal on a buliding in the snow.

[RiverAux]

The sad thing is that their recruiting web page looks much more professional than our own. 

[0]

I like on the application it says something about a fingerprint card.  But no where else do they mention getting finger printed.  I think they took scans from ours and just placed their stuff over ours.

[mikeylikey]

hmmmm.......blahhh.  Mikey just threw-up all over himself, two 2Lt's, his new HP laptop, the secretary in the office.  Wait, wait.......blahhhh......Mikey's Venti Mocha Mint Frappacino from Starbucks just came up!  Here comes my Chicken BLT salad from Wendy's

Man.......my but actually is starting to hurt real bad.  I was in the process of filling out the application and.......crap.........I think I am going to be sick again.

What is happening?!?!?  I think the world is ending.......US Ranger Corps.......Calling the US Ranger Corps.......I need HELP!

END RANT.

Seriously.....Too much personal info wanted on the application.......No real information presented on the Website.......and they want sealed military Courts-Martial and Art 15 records disclosed.  Nowhere in the FED Govt does a veteran have to disclose Article 15 actions.  That is why they exist, for punishment at the Local Commanders level, in lieu of a Court Martial.

So I guess if you are a lair and a cheat they let you into the US Ranger Corps??


MIKEY has decided to go home early today.......perhaps to clean the grill from the Memorial Day BBQ....but more likely than not.....to start drinking by 2PM.  This was it folks......this has officially crapped on my entire week!

Mikey, we've known his insane ever since the whole "US Civil Air Patrol" thing. This just shows it to the world.  Who in their right minds would join this orginization?

Ironic considering one of the "founding members" is a convicted felon...

I believe it's a case of "Do as we say and not as we've done. ... Because we are gods and infalable."

[dwb]

When I was a kid, my neighbor and I would start clubs for various things (model rockets, R/C planes, skateboarding, wiffleball, etc.)  We would always make sure to assign ourselves the best job titles and have ridiculously high entry requirements for non-founders.

A couple days later, after working hard on a logo or deciding on a meeting location, we'd lose interest and move on.

Of course, we were just kids.  I can't imagine creating such a club today.

[Turk]

To borrow a Sopranospeak phrase, "Marron!!!"  

Take a good look at their home page - there's a shot of someone in an aircraft on the ramp. Look closely at his face - is that who I think it is?  

http://usrangercorps.us/site/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

I see that the site still lists him as a Major General. I'm sure he'll see clear to upgrade this. A century ago, Kaiser Bill would refer to himself in correspondence as "the All Highest."

[NIN]

Maybe he changed his mind and went back to the Maj Gen for now.

Well, you know, he already had most of the insignia...

Hey I started a Skateboarding club as well.  It lasted all of three days when I broke my leg in a swimming pool and my Mom took my board, dads saw-all and handed me back my board in three pieces. 

If you want.....we could start a skate club.  I am thinking, awesome-super-duper grind club??  The only thing is, we won't allow anyone in that doesn't pay us $60.00, fills out a ridiculous application, and only lives more than 500 miles from Florida (where we will base our US Ranger Corps  Awesome-Super-Duper Grind Skateboard Club

Come on down dude. I still got a lot of good stuff left over from the weekend!

I would, but I don't think I would make it back home (most likely cause I don't like working!!).  Now....if you want to come fly me down, and fly me back.....consider me your hungover friend that will never leave.  Do you have a futon??   

[dwb]

The only reason we even had an interest in skateboards was because of Back to the Future.

Maybe we can call the club The Marty McFlys.

I am waiting for them to send me a copy of their constitution, bylaws and regulations before I sign the application that says I agree to adhere to them.

[mikeylikey]

^ Oh....someone is thinking ahead! 

[0]

I sent them two emails both have gone unanswered as of yet.   One to ask about finding a local unit then another asking if they even have any sort of command structure in my area yet. 

[davedove]

This man is such an amatuer upstart.  If you want to join a real, hi-speed organization, join the American Action Team.  We do everything his puny corps will do, plus we can walk on water and leap tall buildings with a single bound.

I love how on the "Member Benefits" page they say that due to the large amount of benefits they offer they cannot list them yet.

Can you say "Bullcrap"?

Seriously, I hope that no one is fooled into joining this pathetic little enterprise...

[Smokey]

Has anyone tried calling  the phone number listed yet to see what you get???

[SAR-EMT1]

I went to the website...
Coke went spewing out my nose...
I laughed until my sides hurt and my nose stopped burning...
Then I threw up in my mouth.


---
I will apply as the newly created Surgeon General (EMT)
* Note: I must recieve a comission as a USRC Brig Gen. AT LEAST, otherwise I want no part in it. ... Oh! and I want my own mansion and a yacht, and membership in the super-secret command network.

----
... sheesh, I hope the group folds in a month....
Then again, I bet plenty of PAWG "RANGERS" will FLOCK to his banner.

[0]

I doubt he'd get anyone else.  I'd only join if, well if it wasn't a group to suit his fancy.

[JoeTomasone]

Has anyone tried calling  the phone number listed yet to see what you get???

It goes to a service that more often appears to make it's living by providing services to those get-rich-quick "CALL THIS NUMBER FOR A RECORDED MESSAGE TELLING YOU HOW TO MAKE ZILLIONS!" schemes.  The funny part is that on it, TP says that "no one is available to take your call" -- of course, it's an unattended number!

Oh, and as of yet, no one has called me to complain that someone on my network has been browsing the /images directory.   

[Al Sayre]

Hmmm, I wonder if my Admiral's rank will transfer?  After all, at least it's signed by the Governor...

[MSgt Van]

and the fine print on the application...

"That I understand USRC pilots are volunteering their time,
services, and aircraft, and are not financially compensated for their time or services. As evidenced by my signature on this Waiver of Liability, I regard my authorization by USRC to participate in USRC activities, free of charge (including flight and ground operation, and other USRC activities), as valuable consideration in exchange for this Release, and I value this consideration as a significant, material factor in my own well-being, prosperity and pursuit of
happiness. "

I appreciated the pictures on the web site. Tony, if you're reading this there are no mountains in Florida, especially snow covered ones.

...and how there's no background check for anyone? 

[JayT]

The units of the USRC will be located in every state, supervised by a State Commander who will hold the grade of Brigadier General of the USRC.  States will consist of a local Company and Battalions where members will be assigned.  The states will be working for their respective Division Commanders who hold the grade of Major General of the USRC.

That's two references to General Officer rank in one paragraph of the 'About.'

KAT DON'T DO IT!  I know it sucks with nothing but corn over by you, but theres better ways of dealing with pressure.  JUST SAY NO TO RANGER CORPS!

[kpetersen]

Well, I heard back from the USRC.  And I'm actually contemplating black-mailing my sister into signing the paperwork, since I know she doesn't care, and doesn't own any resources.     She's delaying the order of the bridesmaid dresses, so she owes me.

http://usrangercorps.us/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=39

Their Chief of Chaplains served the "general who will remained unnamed" as the SER HC when prior to the "general" becoming the National Vice and National Commander.  He continued to serve as SER HC until 2005 when he was appointed to be  Deputy Chief of CAP Chaplain Service.  The "general who will remain unnamed" let it be known in June of 2007 that Chaplain Charles Sharp (Chief of CAP Chaplain Services) would be relieved of duty at the 2007 National Board.  As we know, the BOG suspended the membership of the "general who will remain unnamed" and removed him from command.  Brig Gen Amy Courter decided that it would be best for CAP and the Chaplain Service to not make any changes.  In February it was announced that Chaplain (Lt Col) Ron Tottingham (NCR HC) was the new Deputy Chief of CAP Chaplain Services.

on a side note:
amazing you cant let it alone to mock one group at a time.  Could you maybe make some more obnoxious comments including references to  berets, carrying firearms, putting red lights on your van, providing medical care and calling someone a nazi so we can get all of the common lock topics into one thread.

I am waiting for them to send me a copy of their constitution, bylaws and regulations before I sign the application that says I agree to adhere to them.

According to NOTF 27 May Page 2  the constitution was only signed on Saturday.

'U.S. RANGER CORPS' CONSTITUTION SIGNED

On Saturday, at the inaugural meeting of the "Command Council" of the United States Ranger Corps in Plantation, Fla., the members of the council reviewed and signed the Constitution of the USRC, led by Tony Pineda.
    Pineda, the former national commander of the Civil Air Patrol who was ousted and stripped of his rank and CAP membership, is still, apparently, calling himself a "major general."
    The Web site, at http://usrangercorps.us/site , does not show the text of the "constitution," nor does it list the members of the group's "command council."
