You had to ask! Johnny comes in, "Commander, Commander, I know the Ranger Code, Pledge, Motto" OK, Johnny, lets hear them, Johnny recites all three - good job, here's your patches, now take a seat. My guess is the boy could recite the boy scout code and some commander wouldn't know the difference. At one time, I was one of those who didn't know the ranger code and pledge. Until Fall Camporee (my 2nd year in Rangers), and a buckaroo recited the entire code, point by point (alert - physically, mentally, and spiritually alert). That shamed me to learn it. Yeah, yeah, I know you're supposed to know that for LTC, by our training chiefs didn't push it.
We've done the review board thing, not as thorough as you described. That was when we had 2 commanders for each age group and they'd send the young man to me with his books and I'd quiz him, to the chagrin of the commander when I'd send him back with some deficiencies to correct. Sound familiar anyone?
