Got an idea on who he is sir. Evening Rangers, posting a sitrep. I graduated Airborne school this past Thursday. They seriously fuck the RASP guys afterwards too, chute shakedown is the new meaning of hell to me. Whatever, its over with now. We're holding over at Airborne school until Tuesday pickup of pre-Rasp. I can kinda already see immaturity amongst some of the guys from other bases. The ones I came through OSUT with seem to have their minds in the right place. Just gearing up for this next step. I don't know what to expect, but I'm pretty sure you can never be prepared for something like this. Oh well, one day, one event. The Ranger I usually talk to around my hometown told me another bit of advice.. "Always say every morning, you're quitting tomorrow." Proud to be a paratrooper, jumping is awesome. The only nerve racking part to me is when your hooked up waiting for the green. Anyhow, I'll cut this one. I will update when time permits. Thanks again, Rangers.

Acceptable SITREP. Willis, it has been a pleasure watching you mature. Never, never quit!

On a side note (since OSUT graduation) you can select a new avatar, perhaps one from tactical you might find to your liking.

Have a good one and don't quit. It's that simple. Not that easy, but that simple. RLTW!

Evening Rangers, posting a brief sitrep. Im now in pre-rasp. The pt here is great. We take our pt test here this coming Tuesday. It feels weird treading so closely to where some of you possibly reside. I saw my friends from my original basic training company that came here before Airborne come back from Cole Range this morning. Not a single person from my original platoon has quit. Im motivated as fuck and insanely proud of them. My class is set to pick up Aug. 18th. Will post more in coming days, thanks Rangers.

Evening Rangers, just posting my pt results from this morning. I did 85 pushups, 74 setups, 16 pull ups and a 14:15 run.. kinda baffled me because im used to running low 13 minute miles. Also, disappointed to say it, but I got a counciling statement for an unsecured wall locker :S. Will post more later, thanks Rangers.

You could have done better on your PT. Unsecured locker is also unacceptable. Still, however, you are still in the running to earn a place. Never, never quit!

Hahahaha....you got counseled for leaving you shit unlocked....dumb ass! :lol:

PT looks good. Some run days are better than others. Don't sweat it. Temperature, food, humidity any number of things can affect a run time.

Evening Rangers, happy to announce I'm in phase 2 class 08-11. Passed the gauntlet and emerged from Cole Range. Sorry to be brief. Thanks and have a good day, Rangers.
