Thanks Ranger Ron.
A little more about myself, I am a high school graduate and have attended community college. I was able to CLEP test out of most of my college credits however when it came down to it i felt as though i was not making a difference there and in a way i felt stuck. I've always wanted to make a difference in the world and I've always been one to face a challenge. I've boxed on the amateur level in my state and managed to rank 4th overall for my weight class in my state. Boxing was the closest thing I have come to being challenged and the closest thing where I felt i belonged. However even that did not give me the sense of doing what i was born to do. I've always had the army in my mind as long as i can remember and started researching the Rangers about a year ago and have recently decided to leave the civilian life behind and serve my country as a Ranger. My Grandfather landed at Normandy and my father is a Vietnam Vet, now its my turn. I look forward to posting here and learning even more about this as i proceed.

Devin, a man has only one opportunity to create a favorable initial impression and I think you have been successful. If you truly want to earn a place in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came to the right site. We here at armyranger.com take some pride in the number of fine young men who we have helped in their life journey. Please self-administer a PT test and post your results here. Never, never quit

Thanks for your prompt response to Ranger Jim's request.

You probably want to work on that run time a little.

Thank you Ranger i don't care and Ranger Surgeon, I'll be sure to be posting here and to PT. I'm currently waiting on my recruiter to call me back by the end of the day, as he informed me that there are still option 40 slots available for this quarter. Either way I'm not signing that contract without the option 40 regardless.
