Re: Introduction: Andrew
Rangers, It's been awhile since I posted and I owe you all an update. Over the last few months I have been talking to family/friends and exchanging PMs with a couple of Rangers here. I've been reading a lot and making sure I understand what I'll be signing up for (as much as is possible). That being...

Ranger Jim,
I've been out of the country on vacation. I just got back this week.
Tomorrow morning I'll be doing an APFT for reporting back here.

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Welcome here to the site. From my experience, I will tell you this: PJ's are experts in extrication and retrieval. Ranger medics are the best trauma docs in the military. Roger Ranger Dreadnought, I have learned a metric ton about Ranger Medics from this site and further reading elsewhere. I didn't...

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Roger Rangerjd, I will provide a pullup count in my next APFT. For current reference I do regularly perform pullups in my workout routine and can generally crank out 8 or 9 on fresh arms. Should I do pullups as the final part of my APFT? Is it also a 2-minute test or a simple as many as possible bef...

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Rangers, Just want to keep you updated on progress. Here is my APFT done last night: Push-ups: 56 Sit-ups: 58 2-Mile: 14:28 Compared to my first APFT (shown below) I've lost some of my muscular endurance. I'm on a caloric deficit right now to drop my desk job bodyfat, and I'd be lying if I said I've...

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Noticed that you have been on the site regularly, but have not ;posted in over a week. Have you chosen an MOS? Have you contacted a recruiter? Ranger Jim, I've been coming on regularly to read through the other intros and continue reading as much as I can. I'm taking a good amount of time to think ...

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Thank you Ranger rangerjd. Rangers, I self-administered an APFT. I'm going to redo the 2-mile run ASAP as I did it on a treadmill and set the pace to my goal. This weekend I'll be able to run down to the middle school and use their track to actually complete an exact 2 miles and control my pace. Tha...

Re: Introduction: Andrew
Ranger Grim, That's encouraging and remarkable. I'm not married and have no children. Just a bachelor with a dog (and a supportive, close family who would take him in while I was gone). The reading I've been doing has been.. enlightening. This site is a gold mine. I'm not trying to brown nose here, ...
