Introduction-Chad

Post by woody »

Hello Rangers, my name is Chad, I'm 27 years old, and have recently swore in for my 11x opt. 40 contract. I ship out 20140527 and I've only recently stumbled onto this site and am relieved to have found a group as reputable and motivating as you all that I can interact with and learn more about what lies ahead in my future. I plan on keeping up with the site throughout my entire journey.

Roger Ranger Jim. I'm from north Florida (St. Augustine area) and I've been interested with the Rangers since I can remember. All of the males in my family were Army. My father was a pilot as well so growing up I was surrounded by military personnel and aircraft quite a bit; whether it was airshows, fellow soldiers, or his buddies. I knew I wanted to serve one day and I wanted to be a part of something unique. A group that not everyone could be a part of. It was at an airshow in Lakeland called Sun 'n Fun that we were at that I got to talk to a Ranger when I was probably 10. The things he told me were what interested me in the Rangers. He gave me a Ranger patch that I still have to this day. When I was a sophomore in high school my father had an accident on a camping trip and ended up drowning. It affected my mother to the point that she couldn't handle the idea of me joining the military. So I stayed and went to college for a while, nearly finishing. I ended up landing a job making really good money, getting caught up in everyday life, and I blink my eyes and I'm 27 now. So that's my story. I'm just picking up where I left off years ago.

Welcome Woody. Your run time sucks but I see you have plenty of time to improve it, but don't delay! As you know, time can slip by quickly.

Roger Ranger Slowpoke. My run times are definitely lacking. Time is flying by and I'm steadily addressing it.
