Re: Prior service who wants to become a Ranger Medic

if you go this route, study your ass off and max out your academics regardless of how well you may know the material, and PT your ass off on your own time. if you get a contract, you'll be going from what I assume is a sedentary classroom setting with some slow field time into the fire when you go i...

Re: Introduction - Stephen

is your one true hook up recruiter still there, at that office? if you wait for someone to hand you something... it may never come. Ranger KW Driver, I don't know exactly what you mean by my "one true" recruiter. I think that the recruiter I mentioned above will be doing most of the work ...

Re: Preparation for RASP

packing... keep things tight so they don't shift as you move around. inertia will put you on your ass depending on where you're walking. balance your load laterally so that your GC is over your spine as best you can. try to put your heaviest items, and longitudinal (vertical) CG between your shoulde...

Re: Preparation for RASP

I was 6',195, maybe 18% BMI in BN. I've never been a strong runner. I could hump a ruck all day and night though. things are different now than then. they've gotten much smarter about functional strength, vs speed demons. work everything, work weaknesses as you identify them. stamina events/training...

Re: Preparation for RASP

don't run in boots. your knees and back with thank you in a few (maybe one) decade. just don't. once you're in, you'll learn when and how to shuffle. break in your boots before you start carrying any weight. ramp up distance and weight gradually. you don't ever need to train past 10 miles/35-45 poun...

Re: Option 40 13F...is this the way for me?

Welcome to the site. Being an FO in Ranger Regiment in my opinion would be pretty cool. They regularly go TDY(travel) to places across the country to practice dropping bombs from aircraft, calling in artillery, etc. They’re also usually the first ones to arrive when there is a casualty so they can ...

FOIA his records, VA/DoD/Army should have a good POC to start. go to the Ft Benning webpage, ARTB (Airborne Ranger Training Brigade) tab, Ranger School, class pictures. you're not likely to be able to ID his class # through the page, but they have most every available class photo hung and accessible...

Re: Introduction - Back Again

This place is a lot quieter these days. The closest comparison I can think of is Os transitioning to Warrant Aviation. I can’t think of any O to Es since before Vietnam.

Re: AMA

Discord? I don’t do no snappybook shit.

I don’t even know if I’ve got discord still, but it damn sure won’t be with that login.

Maybe next time I’m drinking.
