Introduction- Connor

Post by Hcr0005 »

Good Evening Rangers, My name is Connor I'm 21 from Alabama. I've spent a lot of time lurking on this site in hopes to learn more information about the Rangers. I am currently in the enlistment process and have taken the ASVAB. I will be entering the Army as a rank of E-3 with an 11x Option 40 contract. I have always wanted to join the military in order to serve my country. In the past few months I became interested in the work the 75th Ranger Regiment does and decided that would be my ultimate goal in my military career. I have been PT'ing as much as my schedule allows in order to become physically fit for OSUT, Airborne school, and RASP. I look forward to interacting with current, former, and aspiring Rangers in order to further my process to join America's elite light infantry unit.

Roger that, Ranger Jim. I conducted a PT test and the results are as follows: 82 Push ups ( two minutes), 68 Sit ups (2 minutes), 13 Pull ups, and a two mile run in 14:47. I know my sit up number is relatively low. However, that's what PT is for!
