Rangers lead way with open house event

The 6th Ranger Training Battalion’s resident snake handlers show the fangs of poisonous snake to the crowd during the snake show demonstration at the Rangers’ Open House event May 10, 2014 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The event was a chance for the public to learn how Rangers train and operate. The event displays showed equipment, weapons, a reptile zoo, face painting and weapon firing among others. The demonstrations showed off hand-to-hand combat, a parachute jump, snake show, and Rangers in action.
