101-DOTD.
- Only after the teens had become Rangers and won the battle did Zordon tell them: "Now that you have become Power Rangers, you must follow three basic rules or lose the protection of the power. First, never use your power for personal gain. Second, never escalate a battle unless Rita forces you. And finally, keep your identities secret; no one may know you are a Power Ranger."

had destroyed Cyclopsis, the moon palace flew away from Angel Grove as Goldar
and Rita feared that the Rangers
would attempt to destroy them, but the Rangers
had no such intentions, apparently following an unspoken rule against attacking villains' dwellings.
228-PTr2.
- After the power transfer, Zordon told Rocky, Adam, and Aisha the rules, as follows: "Rangers, you possess powers so that you may protect the Earth. Use them to defend, never to attack. To ensure justice, never for vengeance. To preserve righteousness, never for selfish glory. Remember this, and they will protect you forever."
- After the new team's first battle, Zordon told the teens to remember that their strength lay in their ability to judge each situation and avoid the use of force whenever possible.

explicitly giving new Pink Ranger Kat a set of rules, Zordon
told her to listen to her fellow Rangers as they
guided her in the use of her powers.

- After taking Aisha's place, the beginning of Tanya's orientation to Ranger business occurred off-screen, so it's

- Alpha, the closest
thing to a mentor for the Galaxy
Rangers, never issued any rules to the new Rangers.
743-End1.
- During Trakeena's
attack and the evacuation of an area during the destruction of the Industrial Dome, Leo had Damon stand watch as
he stole a case of explosives from a GSA Humvee,

- Despite an unspoken rule against targeting villains' dwellings, the Rangers attacked the Scorpion Stinger with the Megaship to save the evacuating Terra Venture shuttles.
801-OpLs.
- Captain
Mitchell did not issue the selected Lightspeed Ranger teens any specific rules, although their
employment in his Aquabase ensured his
ability to guide them in their conduct.
829-EggC.
- After Artie
had conned Bird Bane out of
$20,000 during a ransom exchange, morphed Kelsey told Artie he'd stolen the money and was

and Rita feared that the Rangers
would attempt to destroy them, but the Rangers

Pig was in fact a transformed real pig named Norman, Zordon found it unfortunate but insisted that they

- After the Space
and Galaxy Rangers had pounded the Psycho Rangers, Leo
told them to quit while they still could, but they refused, so the Rangers finished them off.
733-FPst.
- Confronting Magnetox with his powerful new
armor, Leo gave the
monster one last chance
to leave, but it approached, hungry for his power, so he destroyed it,
returning his friends' stolen energies.
? If Magnetox had accepted Leo's unusual offer for retreat, he would have taken
the stolen powers of the three Rangers
and Magna Defender with him.
734-TVol.
- When the Rangers
summoned their Orion armor after Decibat's speakers had been broken,
the monster was nervous, saying he thought he'd be going now, but they
proceeded to destroy him with their fireball anyway, on Damon's command.
735-EnLG.
- After the Rangers
had obtained the Galaxy Quasar
Launchers, Leo offered monster-Deviot one chance to give up, but he declined, so
they fired their weapons, making a huge explosion, but Deviot then grew.
736-BMut.
- Fighting Swabbies, the
Rangers fought and repeatedly blasted
the pirate foot soldiers with their Quasar
Launchers, though it seems likely that the Swabbies could have been brainwashed human slaves.
737-GOTL.
- During Grunchor's rampage on Terra Venture, the Rangers discovered a revived Deviot with a remote.
- As Grunchor's trail approached and the
Rangers cleared out, Maya yanked Deviot off his
higher platform, making him lose his scanner and panic as it was
deactivated.
- After Deviot had blasted
at Leo, Maya leapt and
slashed Deviot, then went to finish him off
while he was down, but Leo blocked her saber with
his, saying they needed him to tell them how to stop Grunchor; Maya shouted they had to get rid of Deviot while they had the chance.
- Interrogated by Leo, Deviot didn't remember how to use the device,
until Maya prepared to impale him, and he
frighteningly gave in, giving them information and then scrambling away;
Damon started to go after him, but Maya told him to let the coward run.
- Mike, in Defender Torozord, delivered a strike with his axe directly to Mutiny's castle atop Grunchor's head, soon causing Mutiny to retreat.
740-HGrv.
- The Rangers destroyed Hexuba with the Zords; this followed their first unsuccessful effort to destroy her with their Orion attack.
741-RTit.
- The Rangers intended to use their Orion attack on Barbarax before being interrupted by Deviot.
745-End3.
- Knowing the only way to stop Terra Venture from crashing into Mirinoi was Trakeena's destruction, Red Armored Leo pulled Trakeena in and, wishing he didn't have to, fired pointblank, destroying both Trakeena and his armor; Trakeena, however, would eventually return.
801-OpLs.
- Although Ghouligan thought the Rangers didn't have the guts to blast him,
they fired their Rescue Blasters at
once, destroying him.
803-TByF.
- Fighting Vypra, morphed
Carter drew his Rescue Blaster; as they faced off
gun-to-sword, he told her to put down her weapon nice and easy, shouting
again to put it down, but she generated a wall of fire before vanishing.
811-FDIS.
- As the Rangers
regrouped after fighting Vypra and Batlings, Carter
shouted he wouldn't tell her again - get out of Mariner Bay.
- Backing up as the newly arrived evil Titanium Ranger approached, the Rangers told him to stop, not wanting any
trouble, but he drew his Titanium Laser
and blasted them before pounding them with his bare hands.
- Pounded by Titanium, the Rangers retreated outside onto the roof, where
they aimed the Unilaser at him as he
followed.
- Carter told Titanium to stop right there, but he
transformed his weapon into axe mode in response; saying he'd warned
him, Carter fired, but the axe blade absorbed
the blast.
- As the teens confronted
Titanium a second time, Joel pleadingly told Titanium they didn't want to have to
hurt him, but he laughed that their powers were no match for his.
- After they had morphed, Carter told Titanium not to make them do
something they didn't want to do, but he told them to give it their best
shot, pounding them easily.
- As Titanium
saw his axe nearby after the Rangers had
turned the tide with their new V-Lancers, Carter shouted, "Don't do it!" but as he ran for
the weapon, Miss Fairweather told the
Rangers to go to blaster mode, and they
would fire a blast which they expected to be fatal.
- As Titanium
turned, his visor was open,
revealing human eyes within.
- Carter ordered, "Stand
down before this escalates! Don't force us to destroy you!" but Titanium nodded his visor shut and approached weakly with
his blaster aimed.
- Miss
Fairweather, watching, called for energy level ten, and they
switched to full power.
- As the Rangers aimed
the V-Lancers on full power, which they
surely expected to be fatal following the previous incident, Mitchell painfully told them not to fire,
repeating the order when Carter was surprised.
- Returning to base, the teens (with the exception of Dana) were furious that Mitchell had made them retreat during
their perhaps only chance.
- The teens' outrage over
not being allowed to kill their foe was quelled when they learned that
he was Mitchell's son.
814-CCob.
- To help Ryan as he
struggled against Demonite's clone
elsewhere, Carter ambushed Demonite, pinning him against the wall
with Unilaser and V-Lancer barrels thrust against his chest; he
demanded that Demonite freeze and call
off his clone, but the monster cockily refused.
- Carter told Demonite not to force him to destroy both
him and his clone, but Falkar reminded
him he'd blow himself up at such close distance; Demonite proceeded to egg him on,
shouting to give it to him, although he cringed faintly in preparation
for the blast.
- Carter finally withdrew,
saying this wasn't the right way, and he planned to help Ryan; as he turned, however, Demonite went to attack, at which point
Carter twirled into a crouch and fired both
weapons pointblank into Demonite,
engulfing the area in an explosion.
816-CStr.
- When Diabolico
confronted the Rangers, Carter told him, "Don't you get it? We destroyed
your monsters. Don't make us destroy you too!" but Diabolico had them give it their best shot.
- The Rangers
eventually destroyed titan-sized Diabolico
with the Lightspeed Solarzord.
822-TrR2.
- Carter's high-powered Battle Booster punch caused Triskull to fall and go limp without exploding.
- Twice, the Rangers
used Zord finishing moves on giant mutated
Trakeena, the second succeeding with the help
of the Galaxy Rangers.
823-FiCr.
- As Moleman
charged, Kelsey flipped back with her V-Lancer, shouting for him to freeze as she
aimed and cocked the handle, but as he struck her, she blasted a beam
through him and followed with more blasts.
824-ChoP.
- Upset over the unfairness of Carter's use of his blaster as the Rangers then summoned their V-Lancers, Cyclopter urgently cried for them
to hold on, and they did.
- Cyclopter challenged the Rangers to fight him without their weapons, in
hand-to-hand combat, and Chad and Dana agreed for the team, if that was what it would
take for him to leave.
- Confronting Cyclopter for the second time,
this time downtown, Carter told the monster to
leave now while he had the chance, but Cyclopter invited them on, and the
four Rangers fought him in hand-to-hand
combat.
- Soon, unmorphed Chad
walked up and shouted for the monster to leave them alone, battling him
hand to hand while unmorphed; Cyclopter soon summoned a forked
staff from orange energy, and Chad declared in
tired annoyance that he just didn't learn, morphing.
- As Cyclopter fought the Rangers, Chad fought
him off and summoned his V-Lancer after
telling him not to say he hadn't warned him.
825-YAgn.
- Flying by in his Red Mobile
Armored Vehicle, Carter fired a series of
missiles after the fleeing Mantevil, intially missing but soon
striking and destroying him.
829-EggC.
- When the Rangers
confronted Jinxer and Batlings, Carter
ordered Jinxer to get out of there now, but he
blasted at them before later retreating.
833-OlUn.
- When titan-sized Olympius lost his added strength, the Rangers finished him off with the Omega and Lightspeed Solarzord finishing moves; he
would survive destruction, albeit injured and significantly weakened for
weeks.
835-WebW.
- Carter's destruction of
the Vyprari left Vypra so weak she apparently passed out in the
vehicle's flaming rubble, but she would survive to retreat at some
point.
837-WrQn.
? Knowing Bansheera's weakness, Carter struck her in the midsection with his
charged Battle Booster punch to finish
the fight, but he was supposed to strike where her heart would have
been.
- Safe with the others, Carter expected that to be the last they saw of Bansheera, but he would be proven wrong.
838-SDem.
- During a fight with Olympius and a zombie-like Diabolico, Carter flew
in on the Trans-Armor Cycle blasting
Olympius and then slammed the bike's rear end
into the prince.
- Telling Diabolico,
"That's it for you," Carter raced for the
hypnotized demon, but Olympius blasted him
off the bike, and Diabolico lifted him into
the air.
- Carter urged Diabolico to remember Bansheera's betrayal, having destroyed Vypra and then forced him to destroy Loki.
- Confiding in Carter, Diabolico nearly handed him the Golden Key, but as Olympius blasted with his pike, Diabolico shoved Carter out of the way; critically wounded, Diabolico fell and exploded.
- Carter angrily
protested, "He didn't deserve that!" and brought their weapons back
online for Olympius's turn.
- When Olympius and Diabolico were resurrected into advanced forms,
Carter tried to wave down Diabolico, telling him not to let Bansheera control him, but he blew a
(relatively harmless) fireblast from his mouth at them.
- Saying they didn't have a choice anymore, Carter had them form the Megazords.
- Armed with the Lifeforce Megazord after the crippling
of the other Zords, Carter led the Rangers in destroying giant Diabolico and Olympius with full lifeforce power.
MMPR: The Movie.
- When the stone gatekeepers came to life and attacked the Ninjetti Rangers as they sought the Great Power, Rocky interjected during the fight, "Whoa, let's talk about this!" but then had a spear hurled at his groin; all of the gatekeepers would eventually be destroyed, allowing the teens access to the Great Power.
EXCESSIVE FORCE |
- instances pertaining to the Rangers' use of excessive force in combat | |

- Initiated by Zack, the Rangers called their Zords to fight the normal-sized Green Ranger when he said he was going to finish them off.
121-GWE5.
- Jason had the Rangers form the Megazord after the Tyrannosaurus had already knocked Dragonzord down.
- After the Megazord had picked up the prone Dragonzord and thrown it to the ground, then fought it with the Power Sword, then swung it by the tail and thrown it into a mountain, Jason ordered the Rangers to increase the power, saying, "We've gotta save Tommy!"; the Megazord then picked up and threw the Dragonzord a second time.
- After the Rangers had thoroughly pummeled the Dragonzord, Jason told
Tommy to give it up, and when he refused, Jason apologized it had to be like this but said he
had to destroy his sword to save him and the world, at which point they both leapt down and
engaged in a final battle in which the evil spell was removed from Tommy.
131-CKim.
- Zordon told the Rangers they could destroy Samurai Fan Man with the Zords, but the monster was still small at the time.
- On
countless occasions with all sets of Zords, the
Rangers would occasionally activate more
advanced Zord configurations than appeared
necessary to defeat the giant monster of the
day; for example, the Rangers would on
occasion summon an Ultrazord when they hadn't yet tried using the
Megazord's standard finishing move.
132-ASIB.
- Zordon had Alpha teleport the five Rangers to their Zords before Goldar, Scorpina, and Babe Ruthless had grown.
148-POTM.
+ Mantis challenged Trini's honor by insulting the Rangers' dishonorable five-against-one tactic, yet in no other instance would Rangers find one-on-one combat preferable to five-on-one, aside from seeking to settle a personal score against a monster.
201-Mut1.
- After being told that Zedd's new Putties would be significantly more difficult to defeat, Jason had the teens morph before confronting the Putties.
- Jason called the Dinozords to combat the small Pirantishead.

314-SHM2.
- Although Aisha had only
mentioned that Hate Master
was attacking Angel Grove, the Rangers simultaneously called for their Ninjazords.
416-Sno2.
? The Rangers called on the Zeozords while Robocupid was still small; Tommy then summoned the Defender Wheel from Zeozord Five.
421-Bro?.
- Tommy took the Red Battlezord just to stop the small Mondo and Cogs; he then
fired the Zord's eye blasts at the small Mondo, Cogs, and Klank.
500-TPRM.
- When the Turbo
Weapons were ineffective on Maligore in
the temple, Tommy
had the Rangers lure Maligore outside so they could call on their
Zords, but Maligore wasn't giant-sized at the
time.
504-Shad.
- To get the Chromite
into the shade, Tommy summoned the Turbozords to have the Turbo Megazord cast a shadow on the Chromite; this would be the last appearance of
the Turbozords until 507-BFSp.
513-MiMe.
- Unmorphed Tommy was being
beaten by a number of Piranhatron; when
they tried to get him to follow them, he morphed before going after them.
537-Accd.
? Morphed Ashley did an elbow-break move on a Piranhatron after she'd knocked it down;
such a move was a bit excessive, if not overly violent.
606-SatS.
- Alpha, piloting the Astro Megazord, reflected an energy attack
back at Clawhammer, then had
the Megazord go on the offensive.
- After punching giant Clawhammer away and climbing up
from the lava pit it was dangling over once the Rangers had taken control, the Megazord kicked Clawhammer in the groin four
times in a row, headbutted him twice, then swung it around by its
antennae until they snapped off; the Megazord then threw the monster into the
lava pit, where it exploded; these attacks seemed far more aggressive
and violent than normal.
620-SvSv.
- Attacked by native humanoid beings after digging up numerous
alien pods from the ground on the planet
Kadix, the teens morphed and fought the beings, with T.J. and then Andros shooting
the beings with their Astro Blasters to hold them back as they
retreated to the Megaship.
624-ZhnD.
- Receiving a beating from the Rebel general Yatru,
who had summoned Coralizer and
was unsually strong but otherwise appeared human, morphed Zhane
summoned the Super
Silverizer and delivered a slash to Yatru's chest as the general charged, and he
then morphed into Darkonda.
629-DSR1.
- Planting explosives with T.J. on the surface of Dark
Specter's asteroid, Andros blasted Quantrons with his Astro Blaster, even shooting one pointblank
in the chest after kicking it.
722-EvGa.
- When Kubak,
a monster sent to assassinate Trakeena, grew
and stomped near the Rangers (actually aiming for Trakeena), Leo summoned the Galactabeasts, and they fought the giant
monster with the Galaxy Megazord
despite the fact that the monster had been sent after Trakeena and was on another planet.
736-BMut.
- Fighting Swabbies, the
Rangers fought and repeatedly blasted
the pirate foot soldiers with their Quasar
Launchers, though it seems likely that the Swabbies could have been brainwashed human slaves.
? When Rocketron grew following the Red Capsular Cycle's fireball mode, the
Rangers fought him with the Zords on Mutiny's planet for some reason, despite
their urgent need to stop Mutiny's
"gift" from arriving on Terra Venture.
737-GOTL.
- During a Swabbie
fight, Damon wielded his Quasar Saber against the foot soldiers;
meanwhile, Karone blasted more with her Galaxy Quasar Launcher, and Kai pounded others with his.
738-USun.
- As the villains left Rojomon to battle the Rangers on Mutiny's planet after Leo and Damon had been freed,
Leo said this one was on him, and he promptly
decimated the monster as the Red Armored
Ranger, though why they couldn't have simply retreated is unclear.
740-HGrv.
- Armored Mike slashed and
blasted numerous Swabbies with his Magna Blaster/sword.
741-RTit.
- At the beach before Titanisaur's attack, the Rangers made short work of Barbarax's attacking Swabbies with their Quasar Sabers.
801-OpLs.
- Although they hadn't been issued any official
rules, the Lightspeed teens attempted to fight the Batlings and Ghouligan unmorphed before being
instructed by Captain Mitchell to use
their Morphers.
804-REdg.
- As the Rangers
fought Batlings, Dana
shot several with her Rescue Blaster,
which was a common practice, yet one was shot pointblank through the
neck, the beam coming out the other side.
806-WODe.
- Outmanuevering Vypra's Vyprari with their new Lightspeed Cycles, the girls drove up on either
side of Vypra and fired their Rescue Blasters at her at close range,
causing her to grimace and swerve, her shields still holding somewhat.
808-UpCh.
- As he eventually fought back while being attacked
by rival Brian, Chad actually struck Brian in the face with a jump spinning
kick, following with a foot sweep; it was after he'd slammed Brian to the ground with a strong
leaping kick that Chad extended his hand to go.
810-RAsh.
- After giant Magmavore and Trifire had doubleteamed the Lightspeed Megazord, the enormous Supertrain Megazord towered above the two
monsters, nearly twice as tall as them.
811-FDIS.
- Pounded by the evil Titanium Ranger, the Rangers retreated outside onto the roof, where
they aimed the Unilaser at him as he
followed.
- Carter told Titanium to stop right there, but he
transformed his weapon into axe mode in response; saying he'd warned
him, Carter fired, but the axe blade absorbed
the blast before Ryan slung the blast back at
them.
- As Titanium
saw his axe nearby after the Rangers had
turned the tide with their new V-Lancers, Carter shouted, "Don't do it!" but as he ran, Miss Fairweather told the Rangers to go to blaster mode.
- While the Rangers
readied the V-Lancers to fire, Titanium grabbed his Titanium Laser and aimed, at which point Carter called for the Spectra Blast, and the Rangers brought their converging beams onto Titanium, making a large explosion.
- When Titanium got back up laboriously, Carter was astounded, saying, "Nothing could have
survived that!"
- As Titanium
turned, his visor was open,
revealing human eyes within.
- Carter ordered, "Stand
down before this escalates! Don't force us to destroy you!" but Titanium nodded his visor shut and approached weakly with
his blaster aimed.
- Miss
Fairweather, watching, called for energy level ten, and they
switched to full power; it seemed, however, that the Rangers could have captured the Morpher thief at this point rather than
kill him.
- As the Rangers aimed
the V-Lancers on full power, which they
surely expected to be fatal following the previous incident, Mitchell painfully told them not to fire,
repeating the order when Carter was surprised.
- Returning to base, the teens (with the exception of Dana) were furious that Mitchell had made them retreat during
their perhaps only chance.
- The teens' outrage over
not being allowed to kill their foe was quelled when they learned that
he was Mitchell's son.
814-CCob.
- To help Ryan as he
struggled against Demonite's clone
elsewhere, Carter ambushed Demonite, pinning him against the wall
with Unilaser and V-Lancer barrels thrust against his chest; he
demanded that Demonite freeze and call
off his clone, but the monster cockily refused.
- Carter finally withdrew,
saying this wasn't the right way, and he planned to help Ryan; as he turned, however, Demonite went to attack, at which point
Carter twirled into a crouch and fired both
weapons pointblank into Demonite,
engulfing the area in an explosion.
- As the Lightspeed
Megazord was being mangled in combat with giant Demonite, Carter
formed the Supertrain Megazord although
Demonite was apparently not
titan-sized.
824-ChoP.
- Cyclopter challenged the Rangers to a fight to prove he was the best;
saying they weren't falling for that, Carter
blasted the monster.
- Cyclopter got up, upset over the
unfairness of the use of his weapon, and as Carter had them summon their V-Lancers, he urgently cried for them to hold
on, and they did, Chad and Dana agreeing for the team when he challenged them
to fight him in hand-to-hand combat.
- Later, Chad fought the
well-trained Cyclopter while
unmorphed after telling him to leave his friends alone; he then morphed when the monster summoned a
staff.
- As Chad prepared to fight
Cyclopter with his V-Lancer, Carter nearby
aimed his Rescue Blaster, but Chad told him it was his fight, and the other Rangers backed off.
837-WrQn.
- Hurrying through the skull castle in a mad rush to stop Bansheera while the others were being burned
alive outside, Carter fought hordes of Batlings before shooting all the ones he didn't
have time to fight.

- Billy called Rocky, Aisha, and Adam on Rocky's communicator from the hospital to tell them Kim had just awakened.
407-EDog.
- After observing Digster, Cogs,
Klank and Orbus, and Sprocket in a cavern with a lava pool in
it, planning to make the lava run down the streets of Angel Grove, Kat morphed and drove around on her Zeo Jet Cycle, simply planning on finding Smokey and getting back to the others.
411-AFBS.
- Adam suggested taking a
sample of Rocky's mutant, metal-eating plant to Alpha to ask about it (since Rocky couldn't remember which seeds he'd crossed in
the lab), and then Rocky, apparently not having
heard Adam, got the same idea, and they left to
take the sample to Alpha after Rocky had clipped off a bit of its leaf.
438-Aurc.
- When Tanya wanted to teleport to Mysterio Island, thinking her parents might still be alive, Zordon reminded her that the teleportation system was to be used
strictly for Power Ranger emergencies only,
but he then said that these were special circumstances which called for
the bending of their rules.
444-BMOT.
- Alpha was pleased
when it appeared that the teens had stopped by
the Power Chamber for a surprise visit;
they were actually there because of Tommy's
suspicion that time was repeating itself.
450-Good.
- Adam tried calling Jason on the communicator when Jason was late for his martial arts class; at the
time, Jason was fending off Cogs and Tengas while his
powers waned.
512-Al&D.
- As it seemed Reggie was about to beat him up in the
hallway at school, Justin reached into his back pocket and pulled out
his Turbo Key, flipping out its blade
and causing it to glow with blue light behind his back.
- In the Power
Chamber when Justin teleported into the room and crashed into
the ground, Kat was confused; when he told her
that he'd had to teleport when stuck in
a tree after being chased by Reggie
and Junior, she was upset that he'd
used his powers in front of them; he said he was pretty sure they hadn't
seen him.
- Still upset, Kat began to
repeat that they weren't supposed to use their powers for personal gain,
but he was able to finish her sentence for her, knowing he shouldn't
have teleported; he explained he didn't
know how to get through to the bullies, but Kat
sweetly told him he was way too smart not to figure this out.
523-PhPh.
- Some time after they'd been studying the Phantom Ranger in the Power Chamber with Justin, the four teens
were worried about Justin after Carlos had used the payphone outside the Youth Center to call Nico's mom; she'd told him that Nico had gone to play soccer, prompting
T.J. to have the teens
check on Justin with their communicators.
528-FOPh.
- The teens went to the Power Chamber to check on Cassie when she hadn't shown up at the Juice Bar to study with them as planned;
she'd actually gone to the park with
the intention of meeting the Phantom
Ranger but had actually been ambushed by General Havoc.
802-LsTm.
- Not realizing who Miss Fairweather was, Joel tried to impress her by showing her his Morpher and bragging of his status as the
Green Ranger.
821-TrR1.
- As Aero Rescue
Three turned and flew off after dousing an apartment fire, it left a
cloud of paper fliers which rained down on the rescue crowd, and people
clamored for the fliers.
- The flier was quite similar to Joel's original Sky Cowboy flier, but with him in
his Rescue jacket and with Aero Rescue Three in the background rather
than a plane.
- Later, unmorphed Joel
signed flyers for an excited civilian crowd as the teens waited by the Rover.
836-Lime.
- During Dana's supermodel
career, neither Glitz Magazine
nor her fans seemed to place any importance on her status as a Ranger, perhaps indicating her modeling
success was in no way a product of her Ranger career.
