Being in charge of people is difficult. Knowing what to do is not easy. If they are older than you it is worse. Know some of these facts and put them into play later, whatever you end up doing... Leadership is an ever defining point in your life. If it's not, you're not a leader in my opinion. And,...

Great update. Really nice to see you guys coming together. If nothing else you have a goal in common and can share in that. Leadership is a funny thing. You could ask for advice with your 1 problem person and probably get different words from everyone on how to deal with it. Different people need d...

Rangers, APFT Buddy-administered 20170226 Push up - 79 Sit up - 72 2 mile - 12:24 Pull up - 14 The good news is my 2 mile and pull ups are back on track to increase. The really bad news is that I didn't hit the max APFT goal I set for myself. I have no excuses and will be getting back to it as hard ...

Rangers, APFT Self-Administered 20170215 Push up - 86 Sit up - 75 2 mile - 12:30 Pull up - 13 My times lead me to believe my last PT test was not measured properly at the recruiter's office. We were just running on the sidewalk, while my self-administered tests are run on a track at exactly 2 miles....

Ranger GTP,
Wow, that's a significant amount of weight for your height. All of the Ranger School weight loss stories have their own level of craziness, but apparently that's just what one MRE a day does to people. Thank you for the insight.

Andrew, a couple comments on this. I graduated in Ranger Class 13-71. I started the week after graduating from OCS, so I was in excellent shape and weighed around 155 pounds. At RS graduation, I weighed 135. We ate well in the mountains (blueberry pancakes), but only got one C Ration a day during t...

Rangers, PT Test 20170131 Push up - 84 Sit up - 67 2 mile - 11:49 Pull up - 14 This PT was my first PT that was graded by someone else - this time, a Drill Sergeant turned recruiter graded me. I think I need to switch up my core workouts, I'm not seeing the progress I need to see. I got a couple goo...

Andrew, nobody has posted on the five mentees thread since last Sunday. A week has passed. Never, never quit! Ranger Jim, I apologize on behalf of us mentees. Pushing out 50+1 incline, and there will be at least 2 updates within the next 24 hours, and all of ours within 60 hours. For me, the curren...

Good SITREPs. Andrew. Please encourage everyone to update their task-list on the five mentee thread. Never, never quit! Roger, Ranger Jim. Everyone in the group chat (J031, Pope, CH525, Belman1, and KeepRunning3) have all acknowledged they need to have an update on or before the first of each month...

Rangers, PT Update 20170101 Push Up - 71 Sit Up - 73 2 Mile - 12:55 Pull Up - 15 Score: 292/300 My push-up score dropped noticeably because a 2LT fresh out of OCS came back to our recruiting office and dropped me for push-ups, to see how we were looking. That wasn't my first time hearing "25, 2...

Rangers, As it has been a while since I posted something of substance, I thought I should post a SITREP. Two weeks ago, I was promoted to squad leader in my Law Enforcement class. There's a lot of quirks that comes with managing 4 other kids in a class that I didn't realize. So far, it's worked out ...

Roger, Ranger Jim.

Very good, continue to use that sequence in all of your testing. The two mile will be done on a flat, hard, paved surface, not on trails. Either on a measured track or use a vehicle to distance out a good solid 2mile loop from start to finish and run that. Make sure your measurements are accurate o...

Conducting a proper PT test requires all aspects of that test to be done in sequence, which yours was not. Do it again, in sequence and see how or if your scores change. Ranger cams, I re-scored the APFT as directed. I conducted the test first push ups, then sit ups, then 2 mile, then pull ups. I a...
