To echo K. Ingraham, you're not going to get any information on them, and for a good reason. That is an option on a road which might as well be infinitely far away for you.

I'm not sure if it used to be different back in the day, but at the current time the reenlistment office/NCO himself is not able to explicitly guarantee a school slot of that type with a reenlistment contract. Instead, it's basically a negotiation between you and your platoon/company COC. That being...

I agree with you, but with that being said, do WE need them? Or does the Big Army?

Prepare to have mind blown.

Finally. Started Class 09-10, recycled Darby and Florida, and graduated yesterday. Excited to head back to Lewis and rejoin my platoon in the fight.

Dang you son of a bitch, beat me to it! Long ways since RIP a year ago, eh?

You're down there with a couple other buddies of mine, and I know you all will kick ass or at least not get your ass kicked. Hopefully next time I see you you'll have your tab! Good luck

Typically, from personal experience and those of others, you receive a 4 day pass upon graduation of RIP, but no actual "leave", ie you don't sign a leave form or have days taken out. I've never heard of leave being taken at graduation of RIP. You have the weekend/4 day pass, and then begi...

Best of luck to them.

Do some damage!

I would love to get my hands on some gymnastic rings; I think they might be my favorite single piece of exercise equipment and, IMHO, one of the most versatile. Bodyweight stuff is what I like to do most, though I suppose supplemented with lifting as well, but I have the most fun in my workouts when...

Good job man! We had an awesome platoon, and it's great that we're both heading to 2/75 because I think we both have good heads on our shoulders. There are a bunch of good guys there from the last class as well.

I graduated today from RIP class 05-09. I feel great, ready to move onward and learn everything I can from those who can teach, and glad to have had the experiences that I have had, good and bad.

Thank you Rangers for all the help you have offered, indirectly or not. It did not go unheard :)

Rangers, Quick update, done with week one! As far as I know, all the guys from this site who started in this class are still there. There have been quite a few med-drops and VW's, but I'm not sure of the exact number. We started with around 300, they ended up splitting us into two classes running s...

A quick search on US Cavalry shows Belleville 390s selling for approx. 75.

Rangers, so these won't be allowed in RIP? My friend was a Ranger and is now a recruiter due to his baby and said that they should be fine as he wore a pair that he bought when he went through in 2003. http://www.altama.com/Tp1/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=3358" onclick="window.open(this.hre...
