My name is D. I am considering joining the United States Army. I had arthroscopic surgery on my labrum (shoulder) in August 2006 (putting out too hard in the gym).
I have not decided what I want to do in the Army yet. It will either be going to flight school as a Warrant Officer or going to Ranger school. However, it is most likely that I will not be accepted to WOCS; not to mention I'm not sure if I want to be some flight jockey.
I am currently attending Colorado Mountain College, majoring in Outdoor Recreation Leadership (A.G.S). I want to get out of this freaking hippie state. College kids are clueless as to whats going on in the world. Pot is freaking rotting their brains. Anyway, I will be around from time to time to stay updated with the community. I just want to get out into the real world and kick some ass... shit who here doesn't?

D, prior to your doing anything, I want to have a few words with you.
A man has only one opportunity to make a positive initial impression. Obviously, yours is less than spectacular. If you want to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came to the right place. Over the past couple years, this site has assisted quite a few fine young men achieve their goal -- that of service in the finest units in today's Army. Read all the FAQs, select stickies and threads. If you have questions, use the search function to locate the answer. Having said all this, I recognize the frustration you are experiencing, you feel that it is time to move on and achieve something on your own. Something other than a Rocky Mountain high. That's commendable. Many of us have had the same experience. The Army offers an opportunity to do just that. The only person who limits what you can achieve is you. You have the chance to earn a place in the Ranger Regiment. Never, never quit!
Please tell us about your physical fitness. Give yourself a PT test and post your results.
