This is my second ranger 7 plus I ran it into the back of my car smashed the camera but it's still flies so I bought a new one the same ranger 7 plus they are good machine stable in the air. On the 4th I'm going to take it up and see if I can get videos of fireworks I think that would be cool. What do you guys think of that is anybody tried it. I will put videos of it in later wish me luck.
I received the EXO X7 Ranger Plus (in red) with no obstacle avoidance. I have flown some competitors drones and this one readily compares to them in quality, stability, flight time and ease of use. Right out o the box the drone was ready to fly, with the exception of registration and the calibration process. The drone is smooth and responsive and the still photo and video are good quality. I opted to buy two additional batteries as once you get it in the air, you don't want to stop. Would love to upgrade to the Blackhawk 3 Pro soon to expand my flight experiences and flight times. Overall a good quality drone at a good price over the competitors.
The drone is awesome! It withstands wind and flys smoothly even for first time flyers. But the obstacle avoidance is useless. There is no way to control it and it made my drone fly straight up, luckily the drone is well made and survived the emergency landing. All in all a great drone, but DO NOT BUY THE OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE, but definitely buy this drone.
Maryland Park Service employees enjoy working in parks throughout Maryland, from Assateague State park on the Atlantic Ocean to Deep Creek Lake State Park in the mountains of Western Maryland. As a natural oasis from the sights and sounds of man, state parks uniquely provide Maryland's citizens and visitors with a wide range of important benefits, including:
The Maryland Park Service hires full-time entry to lead level rangers and maintenance employees, as well as administrative positions, assistant managers and park managers to help maintain 75 state parks. Each year, approximately 700 seasonal employees are hired to help maintain and operate Maryland's public lands. These seasonal part-time jobs include: rangers, maintenance staff, lifeguards, contact station attendants, naturalists, historic reenactors, and office administrative staff. Internship opportunities also offer college students an opportunity to gain experience in parks across the state.
Duties: Park Ranger positions are "generalists" who can be involved in virtually every aspect of park management. The diversity of assignments provides an opportunity to learn about and experience a wide range of park operational functions. Duties may include:
Duties: Park maintenance staff are responsible for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of grounds, facilities, and equipment and other maintenance functions necessary for aesthetics and public safety. Maintenance staff may also render assistance to the public with information, directions, first aid, and explaining regulations. Duties may include:
Eligibility: Entry level park maintenance candidates must possess a high school diploma or high school equivalence certificate, as well as three years of experience in the skilled maintenance or construction trades that includes work as an electrician, plumber or experience in the maintenance of a park, forest or wildlife facility.
All recruitments are posted on the JobAps website for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Candidates interested in applying for full-time positions, as well as part-time seasonal positions, with the Maryland Park Service must do so online through the JobAps website.
Operation Hire complements the supportive services already in place for Maryland veterans. If you are a veteran, please visit the Operation Hire website to learn about state resources to assist you in finding employment.

This article is NOT a missive on the unique leadership development benefits of Ranger School or a description of how it will improve you as a soldier, a professional, or a person. There is an exhaustive list of those articles already written.
This article IS a guide for people who want to go to Ranger School or who already have a slot and are on their way. After I got my slot in the Spring of 2011, I desperately searched for a guide like this one but was never able to find one, so I went off of word of mouth to help prepare. I wrote this as a service to would-be Rangers who want to be armed with as much information as possible in order to make them successful in one of the most selective and grueling training experiences the US military has to offer. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Every class is slightly different. They will switch the order in which they do things and methods of instruction will vary between companies, but I will provide the best overview possible based upon my experiences in C Co class 7-11 and A Co class 8-11 during the summer of 2011.
M240B- same things. Disassemble, reassemble, functions check. Load, fire, immediate action. Another good reason to float near the back here is that some of these weapons will invariably be a little sticky. Look for the ones that go back together smoothly and fire well. I got stuck on a sticky SAW and paid the price with a minor minus spot report for being unable to reassemble it in time.
Claymore- name the parts, inspect the equipment, and properly emplace. If you forget all the steps, watch your buddies. Hate to sound like a broken record but stay in the rear, watch, and memorize all the steps before you get up there.
In my humble opinion, the hardest phase to pass. But once you get out of here, you are golden. So, you arrive either via bus or foot, depending upon whether or not you did the 12 or 15 mile ruck. Camp Darby is in the Eastern Boondocks of Ft. Benning. The terrain sucks. Lots of controlled burns in recent years leaves half the terrain open and charred, hot as hell and covers your uniform in ash. The other areas consist of medium level vegetation, some serious draws/ valleys, and a couple big swamps.
A typical day in Darby once Patrols begin goes something like this: PL and PSG for the day wake up at 0430, to receive the OPORD from higher at 0500. Everyone else wakes up at 0500. Work on the OPORD/ resupply ammo and food/ hygiene/ test fires/ fires coordination until 0930. Pitch the OPORD, finish circa 1130. Rehearsals, step off anywhere between 1300 and 1500. Roughly 1 Km movement to objective, conduct either deliberate point ambush or area recon (only two types of missions you ever do), return to camp Darby anywhere between 2300 and 0200. Once you get back there are a series of tasks you have to complete before being allowed to go to bed. Foot checks by the medics, shower (in a concrete room surrounded by shower heads, get comfortable with your buddy), clean crew serve weapons to like a day 2 standard. A bit excessive in my opinion. In later phases they are more realistic and allow a day 1 standard.
Spot reports: You can receive positive or negative spot reports. They call them major plusses or major minuses. You can also receive minor minuses. Bear with me here. 3 minor minuses equals 1 major minus. 3 major minuses and you get recycled. You can accrue up to 8 major minuses throughout all 3 phases, but a 9 will send you back to Day 1. A Major plus negates one major Minus. If you get recycled, all accrued spot reports for the phase you recycled will disappear, as though you are starting that phase for the first time. Hopefully that made sense. You can get spot reports for having your weapon on fire, for talking back, being late, missing items on the packing list, etc.
