Taking Off
I will be leaving this evening for my final MEPs trip and hotel stay followed by my flight down to Fort Benning the following morning. I would like to thank all of the Rangers and Veterans on this site for all of the information and guidance that you have provided me with, it will definitly help me along the road to being a Ranger. I've waited for this as long as I can remember and now that its here I can hardly believe it, time really fucking flies doesn't it? I'll post an update when I can, until that time I will push myself to be the best I can be and to drive on to my goal of serving my nation as a Ranger. Thanks again.
good luck man. dont quit!

One day at a time brother, one day at a time. If you look at the big picture, you might get overwhelmed. Just focus on the day at hand.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

I always used the negativity that others gave me, telling me 'You'll never make it to be a Ranger' etc... as part of my mental spite program - No way in hell I would let any of them who told me that be right so I've got only one thing left to say to you:
Be sure and let us know how the weather is in Korea when you get there, you sorry bastard. You'll be lucky as fuck if you can make it through Airborne School, so forget what Ranger Earthpig said about changing your rank to 'Ranger' - I'll be proud as hell just to change it to 'soldier', you dirty, nasty fucking LEG!
Oh, and Hemmorhage - do some fucking pushups!
