Re: Army Recruiter Killed In Attack On Arkansas Office

Rangers, I hope I am not out of my lane here but one has to wonder if this piece of shit was a home grown Jihadist out of one of the 35 US terrorist camps located right here in the states? http://srinidhi.instablogs.com/entry/35-terrorist-camps-uncovered-in-the-us/" onclick="window.open(t...

Re: Feet Going Numb while Running

Just out of curiosity what is the brand and model of shoe you are wearing? I was wearing New Balance 902's. My new ones are NB 1011's. I weigh about 190. I did intervals this morning for about 3.3 miles and didn't get anything from it. Not that I was expecting to since my threshold seems to be arou...

Re: Feet Going Numb while Running

I appreciate the response Rich. My whole time in I've been using the wrong type of shoes with limited problems. When I finally had someone tell me the kind of shoe I needed is when I've had my small problems. Again, I've had these shoes for at least 2 months now and are just seeing the problem come...

Re: Feet Going Numb while Running

Right one is more severe. Left only gets to pins and needles feeling while I go. The numbness encompasses the whole foot up ...

Re: Option 40 and the Prior Service Soldier.

Big F'n zero for bonus, kinda sucks but the job is more important to me, I ship to WTC June 15th. I bet there aren't five Rangers on this entire site who got a bonus. I know I didn't. It never even crossed my mind. If someone is joining the service to get rich, they're nuts. That's about like becom...

Re: Prior Service with Option 40 !!!

Congratulations. When you have the chance, it would be good for you to write a detailed description of the full process you had to go through, what you had to overcome, etc. The information will be valuable to other men who are prior services. Ranger Bill, Ranger Earthpig, and Equalizer, With every...

Re: Introduction

Ranger Ron, How could you not become a Big Red fan while in Nebraska. They actually won a National championship while I was there under Tom Osbourne. Thanks for the well wishes and I look forward to the day that I can come back here and report that I became a Ranger.
