Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, I'm at the halfway point in training. I've overcome some humbling moments caused by the heat and am doing ok with the bruises, blisters and chafing of the day to day training. Looking back, the pre-RASP period was tough, waiting around just for the opportunity to train and perform was diffi...

Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, I've graduated Airborne school. Airborne school was mostly amazing and also a test of patience in the harness shed. I enjoyed a few more freedoms such as no longer having a formation immediately before bedtime and accountability on the weekends is only to our student leadership (SSG, and SG...

Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, AIT is complete. After a brief holdover period I am beginning Airborne training with the medics that have Option 40 contracts from my company and the previous company that graduated almost a month ago. The 68W FTX at Camp Bullis was an exciting combination of strength, teamwork challenges, ...

Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, I'm well past the halfway mark on my training as a 68W at Fort Sam Houston. I'm certified as a civilian EMT and have been learning the Advanced Life Saving/ whisky side of things which are much more engaging than the many hours of PowerPoint slides from the EMT course. It also helps that ou...

Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, I graduated BCT last week. The period from after the holiday leave until graduation was stressful and challenging. For the final APFT I completed 62 push-ups, 77 sit ups and ran a 12:58 2 mile in 20 something degree weather. I can do 13 pull ups right now. My performance fell short of my ph...

Re: SITREP - DreR

Rangers, I have 3 weeks remaining of BCT. The main events that remain are the final field training exercise which includes the 15k ruck march and the end of cycle physical fitness test. My Last APFT was 64 PU/75 SU/ 12:36 2 mile. I'm disappointed that I didn't improve my push ups from my future sold...

SITREP - DreR

Rangers, Mentees and others. I am moments away from Reception Batallion. My departure from home was a less than graceful rush of packing, long goodbyes, closing out at my previous work and continued physical preparation. I will keep you informed of my progress on this page. Thanks for your time and ...
