Greetings Rangers,
My name is Ryan, I am 24 years old and live out here in one of the commonwealths in the Caribbean. I hold a bachelor's in History of the Americas and have 4 semesters of russian language classes. Ever since I was a child I wanted to serve in the Regiment. Due to some difficulties with my mother's health, I was not able to enlist at 17 and chose to stay to help take care of my family. I did college in that time, but was not satisfied with the experience, I need to know if I have what it takes to be a ranger. My mother is in relative better health and I chose to enlist once I had finished my college degree.
I have been training for over a year to prepare for RASP and have memorized the Ranger Creed and studied all I can about ranger history. I already have a contract for 35M, sadly no matter how much I waited the MOS never got an Opt 40, so I opted to enlist and try to volunteer either in BCT or AIT for regiment. It's difficult to find people who have been Rangers here in my island, so I have been trying to find as much advice as I can. I thank all of you Rangers past and present for the help you have provided me with the information here.
My most recent PT scores are as follows:
Push ups in under 2 min: 78
Sit ups in under 2min: 99
Pull ups: 17
2 mile run: 13:00
5 mile run: 38:40
I have also been rucking for 6 months and ruck twice a week with 55lbs 12 miles, I do not run with the ruck or time it since reaching 50lbs. I'm not sure what my 12 mile time with 35lbs is, for that I am sorry.
Any advice you Rangers are willing to provide me before I ship in May 2021 would be greatly appreciated, especially for ways I can achieve a slot for RASP.
