Randall Claude "Randy" Weaver (born January 3, 1948) is a former Green Beret who was caught in the deadly confrontation with U.S. federal agents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992.
Randy Weaver was one of four children to Clarence and Wilma Weaver, a farming couple from Villisca, Iowa. The Weavers were deeply religious and had difficulty finding a denomination that matched their views; hence, they often moved around among Evangelical, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches. Weaver earned decent grades in school and played baseball and football in high school. He professed his faith in Jesus Christ at age 11, however he recently stated at a news conference for Edward and Elaine Brown: "I ain't afraid of dying no more. I'm curious about the afterlife. And I'm an atheist."
When the Vietnam War began to escalate, Weaver dropped out of community college and joined the United States Army in October 1968. He excelled in recruit training and qualified for the Green Berets. Weaver was promoted to the rank of sergeant following his training.
