Well I finally graduated RIP class 09-07 yesterday! It took awhile to make it this far but I finally made it. Like I said I'll be going to Ft. Lewis sometime next week. Thanks to all the Rangers for their advice and motivation on this forum. I'll post pics as soon as possible.

Second week over! And now I know what Cole Range is all about :? We've dropped pretty dramatically in numbers and after the re-tests this Monday we will lose a lot more. Thankfully, I'm not sure how, but I passed all my tests the first time. We have our 12 miler tomorrow and I'm pretty excited about...

First week over! It's been a pretty crazy first week. Super hot down here so not quite as bad as it could be! My weekend will be full of writing and studying...same as last week. I will call you this weekend Ranger Har, hopefully tonight. I also turned 22 during the first week of RIP. I have to say ...

It's been awhile since I last posted, but I've just been waiting around in RIP hold, so not much happening. On Friday just less than 300 or so men took the PT test to make it to this next class. Only 150 of us made it. I'm so glad I'm not in hold anymore! There have been about 8 or 9 already dropped...

Well I graduated Airborne School today! It feels great to finally get my wings. This weekend is a long one due to memorial day so I will be picked up by RIP next Wednesday. I also have to pull two 24 hour CQ shifts over the next 5 days so that'll be fun. I'll update when something else interesting h...

Well, Monday we jump! We will jump twice on monday, twice on tuesday, and our night jump on wednesday night. I'm not nervice yet, but I think I will be right before the jump. We graduate next friday and then I will have a pass until wednesday the 30th when we will be picked up for RIP. Hopefully I w...

I graduated OSUT on May 4th. Tomorrow we begin at Airborne School with a PT test in the morning. I'm not concerned. I've come a long ways since I started basic with my PT. I got my first 300 on our last test during basic. Right now there are about 9 of us with RIP in our contracts at Airborne. I'm l...

Rangers,

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I will be sure to send my sitreps to Ranger Har to let you all know how well I'll be doing!

And so my time has come. I leave for Benning on Tuesday Jan. 9th. I want to say thank you to all Rangers and posters for all of the VERY good information and encouragement I have seen on this site. I'm very excited to finally go and I believe I am ready for everything I'm about to endure. I'd also l...

Thank you all for your replies. Today I put in my official letter of resignation at work. One month left before I ship out. Everything seems to be getting very real now, but I'm getting more and more excited!

All eyes forward, leave no doubt.
