Good job Zelse. Nobody who hasn't gone through OSUT can possibly understand the infinite amount of time it seems to take. You really discover what the word "duty" means. The novelty wears off, the fun runs out, the jokes and buddies get stale, the food starts to stick in your throat, the c...

At Airborne, once you've been there for a few days, go to the Patches building and ask to speak to the Ranger Liason about going to RIP. If they are closed, talk to your Sergeant Airborne the next day and ask for permission to go - in case they have to send you off early to make it. You have a coupl...

Nice to hear more from the guy. Your response is right on, Ranger EarthPig. In the isolation tank of OSUT, the familiarity of a brother, especially an actual "brother in arms," is manifestly desirable. I can see where he's coming from. But there is something much bigger going on here... an...

30th AG SITREP : Zelse

Here are the letters I have received from recruit Zelse so far. Pretty much everything you need to know about Reception Battalion, otherwise known as 30th AG to us Infantry thugs. As you can see, the mind games have begun! Inprocessing, in all its splendor, is one more thing to overcome as you move ...

My friend.

I can't tell you how many times me and my friends said this phrase: Airborne School is so gay. The only part that's really cool is week 3 when you're walking out that roaring door and stepping into air. It makes it all worth while. You'll think some crazy shit in the moments preceding that, kinda wi...

Excellent

I know Zelse personally, have seen his contract, talked with his recruiter, and more. We PT'ed together when I was last home on leave.

Good luck, Zelse! Glad to see you getting plugged into the community - you will be glad you did.

Cole Range : Everything You Need To Know

Cole Range is a chunk of grassy field out in the middle of nowhere on Ft. Benning, circumferenced by a line of trees, a "woodline," as it were. North of it is a expands a well-sized land nav course that's about as overused as Jenny McCarthy is over exposed. Cole Range is used by people com...

After RIP (Now RASP) Thoughts of a Private in Regiment

I am an optimistic person, I believe in things. I love freedom. I believe that America represents the first time in the history of the human race that a society has formed itself around an identity of values, even if we're not aware of it these days. That is why I swore in. It is a statement of agre...
