If you have AKO, check out the LT timeline. You can go to Ranger Regiment as an LT, an experienced LT with the full endorsment of your Chain of Command. I have never been in Ranger Regiment but I have a couple of friends that were LTs there and are now is SF. You just submit your packet at the required time, which is all based off your Year Group of when you are Commissioned.

So I just reread through this post of mine and feel a bit sheepish at the ridiculous nature of the earlier posts. Semester ends next week and I am well adjusted and clear on what I am doing and want, which I am sure you will be happy to know is no longer the moon and the stars. ROTC has grown on me and this week I will be taking over as the c/1stSgt for our Company. I will be done Dec. of next year and have focused all my energies into getting to the Infantry. My long range target is still 18A and this summer I will get the opportunity to participate as a G in Robin Sage which I am very excited about. I look forward to spending some formative time as a PL wherever I wind up and I have found that adjusting to the Army way (cadet lands version at least) was not as hard as I had thought it would be. In short I feel like I am in the right place doing the right things and a lot of that comes from all the info and help I got from people who increased my knowledge. Thank You gents. I'll update when significant things happen but for know I am trying to be the best cadet I can be. If i get selected for Infantry I look forward to getting an opportunity to test myself at Ranger School. It sure would be great to someday be able to log back on here with a school date. Thanks again gents for the guidance.

It has been a long since I posted here, and i have come a long way with still more to go.

I will update my progress as a means to show anyone starting out where I started three years ago that it is a process and that you have to remain hungry but progress does come.

I am currently in IBOLC and I will be attending Ranger School in April. As of right now I am slated to go to an R&S squadron for a BfSB. When I get my tab (Surrender is not a Ranger word) I am hoping to join their LRS troop.

Looking forward to joining another prestigious and honorable fraternity (Ranger qualified soldiers).

Just remember the 6th principle of patrolling:
In Ranger school, there is no such thing as patrolling, only running from artillery

Good luck, make them kill you before you even think of quitting!

I graduated yesterday with class 08-12. I recycled MTNS after falling on Yonah and breaking my tailbone. I can say I literally busted my ass to get my tab. RLTW! Never Quit!

Any phase worth doing is worth doing a second time. I pinched a nerve in the mountains and had to do it again, Then made it through Florid. Excellent SITREP, Ranger!

Okay.....you have been screwing off long enough going through schools. Now it is time to get to your unit and first platoon. It is time to get to work and earn your paycheck. It was 29 years ago in June that I earned my Tab and got to my first platoon. Oh how I am envious of you. Congratulations getting your Tab.

I share your wishes, and it was just about 41 years for me.
