Ranger Goldcoast, My apologies I hadn't seen my orders to cc you on the product, I'm off to make sammishes (sp??) and push out a few hundred push ups for my lack of diligence. Where are those yellow stickies...Jenny

Please be advised that I learned today that the Good Idea Fairy will be working for me for the next 1-2 weeks.

BTW- If you're reading this Connor:

Do pushups.

Usually the good idea fairy can be killed if you place a hand grenade under a pillow in the spare bedroom. Pin pulled of course.

Um, okay- I don't know how that would work since he's camping out at the project site about 30 miles from here, but I'll give it a shot. Should I open my windows first or anything like that?

30 miles away? Nah...your Windows are fine. And fuck the over pressure in his tent.

If one more pt failure or school house recycle mockingly refers to me or the other volunteers as "Ranger so-and-so" i may just lose my cool. Half of these guys dont know or care what the difference between a bandage and a dressing is and are going to wind up killing patients if the army lets them into a line unit.

Rangertough,

We've all been lucky enough to wind up in a company that does decent pt and holds an academic standard higher than the army's. Our instructors with a few exceptions are excellent instructors that are passionate about what they teach. However the most of the guys here, just don't get it. They've seen entire slide shows of the patients our instructor treated in 05 in a burn unit, but it still hasn't clicked for them that right after they graduate they could be standing in front of the same thing and be expected to fix it. Somewhere around a fifth are outright failing, another 15% can't pass a pt test and the majority of the ones not in those two categories are just studying or working hard enough to get that weekend pass. So there's this whole culture of mediocrity and those of us that volunteered for RASP are constantly catching shit and smart remarks out of the sides of someones mouth and its starting to piss me off.

Fuck them. The weak always congregate with other quitters and weaklings to try to bring others down to their level. They'll be there in BAC too. Eyes on the prize! Focus on doing the best you can EVERY day, and handle your PT. You will be far away from those bottom dwellers soon enough.

Get used to this behavior from Soldiers outside the Regiment. These are the same assclowns that will tell you "I could have been a Ranger but I wasn't crazy." or something equally as asinine.

And know that their behavior is rooted in jealousy and envy. Because they either know already, or suspect, that they'll never be man enough to achieve it, and aren't mature enough to recognize and accept their limitations.

Ignore them, for they truly mean less than northing. Or take pleasure in knowing that they deserve nothing less than contempt. Just don't engage them, don't let them derail your path.
