Andrew, saving money while you are on AD is an excellent idea. When I was in Viet-Nam, I reenlisted and put the money in "solders Deposit." At the time it was tax exempt. When I left country in 1970. I was able to buy a new car. I am now financially able to live a comfortable retirement. ...

Good update on that, Andrew. I have only heard about it in passing. Overall it's a good concept considering so many folks get out before 20. This way they can actually start working towards retirement even if they decide to go to school or move on to different work. Roger, Ranger Disinfertention. I...

Ranger Disinfertention, Actually, I lied. As soon as I posted, I remembered something. We did do training on the Blended Retirement System, the new system the Army is switching to next year that we can either opt in to or choose to remain on high-3. They do all sorts of neat stuff like let you pay i...

2 more months, Andrew? One week down. How goes it!? Ranger Disinfertention, It is going... haha. Our new classes are on incredibly interesting topics, so once we get past all the boring setup items, it will be quite the time. Other than that, we are still just practicing for the GAFPB after HBL and...

Looking forward to hearing you graduated from Huachuca and are moving down to sea level at Fort Benning.

Roger, Ranger IntelToad. Just two more months after HBL.

Rangers, Just a quick update for today. We've been doing our final interrogations for the last two weeks and today I tested out our first opportunity and earned the interrogations certification. This is the end of unclassified content, so I won't be able to talk anymore about school, but there's sti...

Good to hear, sounds like you are doing the right things with your off duty time and working hard. Also good to hear that you are seeing the opportunities both now and in the future as far as what you are doing. Go get it. Enjoy leave, but keep it under control and don't waste what you have done so...

Rangers, Monday my group starts testing for the first module of our training. My last practical exercise I did very well, with over 90% on all of my reports and missing only one non-report performance measure. I can test out of this module as soon as 20171127, so if all goes well, after the next two...

Roger that, Ranger IntelToad.

Things have certainly changed at old Fort Resort. We used to go to Mexico a couple of times a month. There was a little bar in Nogales where we would drink .50 cent Tecate beers and eat shrimp all afternoon watching baseball on the TV. Some of my classmates ended their careers early by sampling the...

LOL the ASVAB does not account for common sense. My only advice is stay out of Mexico, if you can go see Bisbee or Tombstone those are well worth the trip once you get some privileges off post. Ranger IntelToad, In our inbrief they were very specific about Mexico trips being against policy at every...

The good news is the elevation at Huachuca is a mother f'er as you found out and takes a few weeks, if not a month, to get used to- when you get to low elevation, super humid Fort Benning you are going to run like a goddamned gazelle. Ranger IntelToad, Roger that, I'm really looking forward to that...

Thanks for recruiting a classmate, Sveny19, for ArmyRanger.com. He signed in last night. Never, never quit! Roger, Ranger Jim. He kept talking about earning a BAT/RASP slot and he has an above average PT score, and does extra PT with me sometimes. The forums have been very resourceful for me so far...

Rangers, I am pleased to report I graduated BCT today. I graduated both an honor grad and with a promotion to PFC. My final PT score was: Push up - 76 Sit up - 84 2 mile - 11:16 Score (extended) - 329 I scored a 29/40 on M4 qualifications. A quick overview for my fellow POG DEPs who may be going to ...
