A.Schaff,

I used to be an RTO in Regiment before I crossed over to the dark side. I can answer any specific questions you may have. PM me if interested.

Remember this...regardless of MOS, if you're wearing a Scroll, you are a Ranger. The standard does not change based on your job.

Glad you found the site. Welcome Ranger.

Welcome to the site Ranger.

We shouldn't be worrying too much. The Army will change all its uniforms again soon enough...til they get it right and we have to fork over another house payment to get it.

dirty black socks,
I'm sick of your Drill SGT stories and for fuck sake it's 1SG not First SGT.

Welcome. Hold out for what you want and don't settle. As for the 13F MOS, in my opinion, it's a great job to have. I was an RTO but I worked really close with the 13Fs and trained them in RGT in the RTO course. They get to do some pretty cool stuff, but then again, so does every Ranger. Good luck.

Some have said that it was "brave" of him to quit. On the other hand, some may argue that this act of quitting was self-centered and selfish. When reading this article, I just thought of the number of soldiers in combat (past or present) who have been scared shitless, for far better reaso...

Now you protect your family and do what you have to do. I personally will crush any punk ass kid who threatens my ...

A guy who is that scared to be racing shouldn't be on the track..he is a danger and at least he did it for his teammates' sake too. If he isn't confident in his abilities then I think he did the right thing. Some people just lose the nerve.

That said, if I'm his teammate, then I'm probably pissed.

Welcome. There have been a few recent postings and threads about guys who are in your same position. Read up and you can learn more about your options and possible routes to take.

I'm not a doc but I had the same pain in the same area on my first deployment. I just backed off a little and let it rest for a few weeks...light weight tricep workouts and it recovered (I attributed it to overworking the area). I'd see a doc though if it persists or worsens.
