Intro- Clayton

Post by JCLaytonC »

Hello, my name is Clayton. I am 22 years old (about to turn 23) and will be graduating from Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Ga. I have been talking at Active Army Rangers, friends that are in the Army, three Colonels, one LTC, and a two star General. I am trying to find out everything that I can about the Army (especially Rangers) before I sign my contract in the next week or so. I have been reading history books and studying everything that I can about the military. I have always pushed myself and have wanted to serve my country .Push-ups: 114
Sit-ups: 89
Pull-ups: 31
2 mile run: 12:37
My plan is to join have infantry and the opportunity to prove myself in the ranger assessment program written into my contract so that I can go asap after bootcamp this summer. I thought about OCS but I have always wanted to be a Ranger enlisted. I feel if I am going to be a leader down the road I need to know how the enlisted side of the Army lives. I work very hard in school and workout twice times a day and run 6-8 miles 5-6 days a week. I have visited Ft. Benning 2 days ago to meet with a LTC. I am very excited about opportunities down the road. Reading for a Challenge :mrgreen: .

Two things.

Work on your attention to detail. You're about to graduate college and the typo's in your intro should be unacceptable to you at this point.

Secondly, who graded your PT test?
2/75 HHC C/E 89-92
