Re: RASP

Rangers, My recruiter informed me that starting in 2010 RIP will now be RASP, which is an 8week program. The first 4 weeks are what was previously RIP, the last 4 weeks is training to help the men with Infantry tactics, land navigation and all the things needed to perform in a Battalion. He said thi...

Re: Introduction - Michael

Rangers, I had an accident camping and sliced a good portion of my heel off on my right foot.

A recruiter at my recruiters station who wears the 3rd BN scroll on his left shoulde...

Re: Protein?

Last note I would also avoid creatine for atleast a week prior to MEP's and/or while in service. Not only can creatine dehydrate you as Ranger Rangertom pointed out but It will also show up in your urine test and can be a red flag, it was for me when I went through the process of gaining a Top Secre...

Re: Carano finally loses

She took a thumping. Cyborg is a muscular beast and can take a punch. I have to wonder if Cyborg is juicing though....I'm just sayin..... Ranger panthersix, Cyborg may be a man, it's not roids :lol:. That was a good fight regardless, Cyborg should be the face of women's MMA, not some pretty girl wi...

Re: Protein?

I know I'm not a Ranger, but my advice about using creatine is to avoid it, if you're training to get ready to go away to Basic/Airborne/RIP.. Creatine is a performance enhancing substance, that, if you didn't know, is naturally made by your liver, and assists your muscles in getting nutrients and ...

Re: Introduction - Michael

Ranger Jim, I sent a private message to Ranger Bravo57 as I saw a post of his from a previous date speaking about FO's, but 13f seems like a very exciting and challenging job so I'm excited. Frankly the more PT I do everyday the more excited I get about leaving, can't wait for this contract at work ...
