Veteran MagNeato, thanks a ton for the insight you are giving here. This is the most in depth description of RIP I have yet found.

You are almost there. Damn, you are making us FOGs proud. I turned 27 in the mountains, and i really felt old...

Keep us informed and never, never quit!

5 individuals double tapped the written tests so back to day 1 with the next class they go. Shame on them for not studying I suppose.

My new class leaders.

I admire their drive for not giving up, under the circumstances.

MagNeato wrote:Week 3 is down. This week has been a lot slower than the other two. All physical standard tests are over so it is on to the academics.

Day 1 - This PT session was kick ass! 35 lb ruck march / run on streets and trails. Cadre did a great job mixing up the marching and running on this day. Also, we did the Downing Mile (no rucks) and skedco / buddy carry drills (with rucks). The session lasted 2-3 hours and was a real smoker, i am still sore as hell from this one. Two written tests, one on RFR and one on Standards and history.

Day 2 - fairly moderate PT, upper body strength workout. re-test for the RFR / history and standards. Fast rope classes, cadre quoted as saying I drop like "greased shit on a stick", this is something i need to work on.

Day 3 - PT consisted of a decent run with buddy carries, and lunges. Airborne Operations classes and PE on ruck rigging for Airborne Ops.

Day 4 - Upper body PT that was much more difficult than most thought it would be, I will do this workout a lot at the advanced Cm school i goto if i graduate RIP. Assignments were given out today as well.

1 Week left and mainly shooting so real excited about that!

Fucking A - Drive on with your geriatric self!

Keep it up, MagNeato, you're almost at the end of the first tunnel. Don't you just love it when these dudes quit?

Don't hope just do what is necessary "AND SOME" to make sure you get to your objective.
