Falling In.

Post by Deliverance »

Hello, my name is James. My friend Jason and I are going in on the buddy program, and both going to RIP. Im 20 and he is 24. Both have completed the ASVAB and are both High School graduates. We had a question, but I will wait until I get permission from you guys to post it. We're leaving Oct. 31 for Basic. Talk to you guys soon.

Welcome. Do a few searches while your waiting. You'll get your answers one way or the other.

Thanks so much for the welcome guys. No Jason does not have an account, but I will tell him to create one ASAP. The search engine would not bring up the querry I had. It relates to the specifics of getting a Ranger buddy. We were wondering if there was anything, or anyone we could speak to in regards to being "Ranger Buddies" through the school. Just a simple question, and we appreciate any feedback anyone can give us. Thanks again for the welcome. Oh and we are signing our contracts tomorrow morning at MEPS.

You won't go to the school until you get to Batt. But once you complete RIP you guys will probably be seperated. If not sooner.
