Currently in 13F AIT...

[dk188]

Hello and Happy Holidays Rangers, Warriors, and Veterans. I am currently at Ft. Sill in AIT for 13F. Our class is about half way through. When we get back off of HBL we have about three weeks left. So far I have accomplished all of my short term goals I set before I shipped out. I got a 311 on my last PT test, distinguished honor grad in BCT, 100's on all tests so far in AIT, and working on learning the 6-30 from front to back. As I stated in my intro a while back I do not have Airborne or Opt. 40 in my contract. I am still very motivated to volunteer for a Ranger assignment but I do not know how to go about doing that. I have been waiting for our Cadre to gather the plt up in the classroom and have us sit in front of a Ranger Recruiter for a brief but that has never happened. And when I ask the Cadre no one seems to know when or if a Ranger Recruiter will come. I am at the point where I feel the need to take some initiative to find out who to contact and how to go about this. Hopefully before I get orders cut for somewhere else. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

And knocking out 50 for taking too long to reply. I have been back at sill and we have resumed training. Our plt got our orders and I received Ft. Polk 4/10th Mountain. I contacted the Ranger Recruiter for Ft. Sill AIT but have not yet gotten a response. Our plt Sgt. said we "might" see him in a week or two. So I guess it's still a waiting game. :?
