There is a point of contention regarding the M16 which I hope someone can clear up. I have always thought of it as an assault rifle and this is how it is referred to in Army FM's, i.e. gas operated, air cooled assault rifle. In the book To Be a US Army Ranger, however, it is referred to as the M16 m...

Has anyone else had trouble getting on AirborneRanger.com during the last week or so?

Another good trick is doing pushups on dumbells. With some 25's or heavier (for the height) you get your chest to go alllllll the way down. After doing those for a few weeks, switch to regular pushups, they'll feel like nothing.

Thanks for all of your replies. Devilrat, I've neve done "military rucking" per se, but I've backpacked through sectons of the AT before and environment can make alllll the difference. If you have the chance, try rucking through a park or other similar area, it can make it a much better ex...

I'm from Lower Merion in Montgomery County... about ten minutes outside of Philly. I have not yet signed the dotted line. Are you from the area Palehorse?

I took my ASVAB and recieved two scores. My AFQT (87) and something called a Military Careers score (5), which I have not yet worried about. After looking through all of the test sections, I found nothing marked as "GT". Is the General Technical score a compilation of other components?

I took the ASVAB for a practice run during my sophomore year. I scored an 87, with a military career score of 5 (whatever that means). I have not yet taken it again "for real", since I have at least a year and a half to go before my enlistment.

Hello all, my name is Alex and I am a 17 year old high school junior. I am from the Philadelphia area and have been interested in becoming a Ranger for several years... what initially piqued my interest was stories from WWII that my grandfather told. Since then, the intrigue has been pushing myself ...
