So have to have that taken care before enlisting. Was on the way to meps after highschool but was being talked out of it and got a good job offer during so I took the job at an iron company pretty tough crew we do everything old fashion style so a lot of heavey lifting. But I run 3 to 5 days a week about 6.50min mile pace. Done nothing but workout as soon as I have time after work and read since I have decided to leave my current employment. Getting a paycheck is not why i wanna do this its the way if life i want. I want serve I feel like my life is better served saving and protecting and I don't wanna be a military Leach (people that join the military because there is no other option) I can live just fine off what I make just choosing to return the favor my father gave me. He is ranger qualified. Went to ranger school now retired. My uncle serving also ranger qualified and my other uncle in a Ranger Regiment. I want to 11b op40 but if I get it after osut I can deal with it I will get it though. I have stew smith spec op workout book on the way. Have read books like Sua Sponte and Ranger handbook and Lions of Kandahar Countless other. Any other read suggestions greatly appreciated Or workout régime. Sorry for the slang don't have a computer this was typed on my phone. And thank you

I didn't realize that phones automatically type in slang now.

I must have an older version that still types in grammatically correct English.

[rcon91]

Yeah Ranger Cam due to my laziness you can program words like wanna gimme and aint to auto type I do realize my introduction was less formal then need be. I apologize. Try to get my facts across.

Laziness is not accepted here. Don't embarrass your Ranger family members by being unmotivated.

"Yeah" is a word that you should also learn to get rid of. "Yes" or "Roger" are acceptable communication.

I'm not busting your balls. I'm trying to square you away since your Ranger family members aren't here to cuff you in the back of the head.

You're welcome.

[rcon91]

Yes, Ranger Cam you are busting my balls but I understand completely and it is fine. I do appreciate you holding me accountable. Will do.

[Jim]

Ranger Cams is not busting your balls. If you want to be a Ranger, you need to knock off the attitude. I know what I've done and I know what Ranger Cams has done. What have you done?

[rcon91]

Ranger Jim I did not mean any disrespect to you or any other Ranger. I was telling Ranger Cam I appreciate what he was doing and that I need my balls busted. I've done nothing besides be the son of a Ranger qualified NCO for 20 years. That is nothing for his and your service.

This is the third time you've chosen to not type out my entire screen name. More laziness on your part? That's what we're left to assume, you said it, not us.

Attention to detail here is paramount, just as it is in the field. Situational awareness is also stressed, even more so for you young men wanting to become Rangers.

I had hoped some of the Ranger'n had rubbed off from your family and that a young, smart, natural born leader had shown up at the door to learn, but apparently I am mistaken so I'll leave you with one more bit of information, in the hopes that you may yet salvage a bleak first impression.

Tread lightly amongst wolves young man, there is a reason the Good Lord gave us 2 eyes, 2 ears and only 1 mouth.

[rcon91]

Roger, Ranger Cams.

There may be hope for this one... Time and his actions will tell. Keep us updated on your enlistment process.
