Intro - Jacob

Post by Jacob1245 »

Hello Rangers and non Rangers,

I am very happy I found this site. I know I'm still young but I know this is the route I want and intend on taking. I am 16 years old and am from Florida. I am 130 (lil skinny guy)& Im 5'10. I currently run Track and am rank 6 in florida for the Mile event. (Working for rank 1) I have been aspiring to be a Ranger since I was 7. I have always wanted a Sniper/Coms MoS and have been working on my marksmanship and stalking skills (Id love to talk to a Ranger Sniper on here) here are my PT scores (my upper body is pretty weak) Push ups 52 Sit ups 57 Pull ups 7 Mile run 4:36 Two Mile Run 10:32 I'm unsure what 11x means other than its an enlistment option that I heard aspiring Rangers choose. Can some one clarify what that is for me and provide me tips and helpful info on whats on store for RASP? Thank you to all who have served. You truly are my Heros.

Post less crap about "Ghost" Units. In fact don't get in the habit of posting in the Mosh Pit unless you are directed to.

To specifically address your "Ghost" Post. If you suspect we can't say anything about a super secret unit, why would you ask in the first place? Engage brain before engaging mouth or fingers.

This is not your home. You are a guest here.

Who are you talking to here? Your buddy? Pal? Some MF'r off the street corner?

2 sets of 25-elevated push ups for lack of attention to detail. You said you needed to work on upper body strength. Your'e welcome. Go.

Lay off the exclamation points , you sound like a girl on FB. We all understand you're excited to get started, we've been there too. Step back, take a breath and be cool about it bud, always cool, don't run around like a fucking halfwit smiling at everybody and running your blowhole.

Stop trying to sound all tactical, you don't know what the hell you're doing yet.

Thank RANGER Affirm, not me, you may have just blown a chance at having him set up a mentor for you in that area by failing to follow simple instructions.

Post less, learn more quicklier. Answer when spoken too. Watch and listen when not.

Beat your face if that's too confusing for you.

Thank you Bronck for giving me the correct way to address Rangers on this site. Please excuse my "yes sir" remark and replace it with Roger, Ranger Cams.
