FCF never intended to "Haze" but tried to test the *Courage
*Alertness *Honesty in a way that enlighted the Greenhorn to
Cdr.Johnnies mighty fine western adventure! The r an d department
(reserch and development) has allways been extra thin!
"Emergency Meat" was found in Chapter 9 of Adventures and
the "John Colter run" is real history! *However-
Those times had us transport Rangers in the back of trucks,
cook on explodeing gas pressure stoves, chop tree limbs like
adventure in Camping suggests<G> and dig holes like WW2
foxholes!
We stood bolt straight till we passed out, came to attenion with
"clicking heels" and did "Marching manuvers" in the church parking
lot<G> If someone "messed up" we ordered them to do push-ups
forever or formed a line called "the gauntlet"...
The Fraternity was an attempt to head off the Para-Military
direction into a western adventure theam. The thing that
didn't change was the Leaders were the same founding Men!
(*Thanks Dad!<G>)
FCF didn't start off as a "Historical re-enactment group" or even
a "Black Powder Club".... It started off with good ideas to inspire
and honor Ranger achievers! The "idea" was to have FCF improve
Royal Rangers... and it did! *But something drifted away from the
target- "Leadership needed to adjust fire"
Early FCF was 'adrift and needed a tune-up and Cdr.Fred Deaver
steped up to the plate and gave it the boost it needed. FCF began
to grow and flurish in chapters accross the USA and had a strong-
"Wah-HOO!" attitude<G>
Investing in FCF was a great sport and still is, as long as it remains in
perspective to the mission.. and *blesses Royal Rangers<G>
*THAT is the point!
"We" as a national group are still "inventing the program called Royal Rangers"
as opposed to liveing the Ranger Code!
OLD FCF is dead and gone like dust on the wind! *Good-by!<G>
...but read my frequency, and be alert to what Cdr.Johnnie saw..
and what the leadership saw in Old FCF! Good enough..isn't!
Doing your best- with god's help is! God's best would have us
be *polite *kind *thoughtfull... to *all royal rangers. (*hint)
