Reflecting on my own years in the 75th Ranger regiment, at a moment when the war you'll find yourself immersed in was just beginning, I've tried to jot down a few of the things they don't tell you at the recruiting office or in the pro-military Hollywood movies that may have influenced your decision to join.

Etymology & Historical Origin - Jake. The name Jake comes from Middle English as a variant of Jack and another pet form of John (in Scotland, they used Jock). John is derived from the Hebrew name âJohahahâ meaning âGod is gracious.â However, Jake is also considered a nickname or short form of Jacob. Jacob is a Latin derivation of the Hebrew name Yaakov traditionally thought to be derived from the word akev - which literally translates to at the heel.
