my best birthday ever!

Post by fourthandonly »

I got the greatest birthday present I have ever gotten today... at 1000 on 24 MAR 06 I was authorized to wear the TAN BERET and the 2nd Bn Ranger Scroll. I graduated RIP this morning on the same day that I turned 23 years old. I don't know if it's fate or just really good luck but through all the holdovers and details and other random bull-shit I went through, it was all worth it for the distinct honor of being able to join the elite society of the US Army Rangers! I also got the Bat of my choice... 2nd Bat all the way!!! And I am looking forward to getting the best training the Army has to offer. I know the road ahead of me will be a tough one, and that is the exact reason that I chose the Ranger contract... because I wanted to strive to be the best I could be. I just want to thank all Rangers past, present, and future for their outstanding service and dedication and I just hope that I can live up to the Ranger tradition. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

Stays focused, motivated and drive on! I may have cut and pasted those words but they represent what I feel. Be sharp, listen and learn from the BTDT Rangers that you will meet.

Good luck.

BIRTHDAY present?????What the fucking fuck!!!!! Do you realize young Ranger that you are now fucked for life? Instead of golfing with the IZOD crowd, you will be shooting fuckers. Instead of a lazy weekend with your wife you will be straining against a fucking ruck, toting shit that no human should carry. That your old friends from the hood will look at you and think, "man....that boy is fuHucccckkkked up". Even you parents will think that. And you will take sex wherever you find it...(Being from 2nd Bat,.... dogs, boys, squirrels, whatever) Your entire life will now be yardsticked against this fucking "RANGER" thing. Everytime you get together with some Ranger buds....you puke because there is no such thing as moderation. This shit sticks like fucking super glue and your soul as you knew it is now belongs to a set of standards that you will judge everyfucking thing for ever against it. Pure shame, brother....but.......I wouldnt trade it for ANYTHING! :wink:
