Graduated RIP class 06-08

Rangers and all others, I guess I am the 4th to graduate this class that used this site. Going to 2/75 sometime soon and begin the steps of having to prove myself again, something I should get used to because you have to prove yourself everyday where I am going. This site was very useful and I've fo...

Rangers and all others, Just as an update, I have graduated OSUT and am on leave untill I report for airborne on January 3rd. Last PT test was 300 with 79 pushups, 107 situps, and 12:50 run. Obviously my run and pushups need work. I feel comfortable with my rucking abilities (as much as dumb *** PFC...

Ranger Chiron,

Yes, it does say "option 40" and defiantly is a ranger contract. Taking the advice from other Rangers on this site the opt 40 was the first thing I looked for. When I said 11X I was implying that I am being trained as infantry instead of combat medic or a support MOS.

Ranger Bill, Those are my intentions exactly. While my pushups and situps are lacking I can more easily fix that in OSUT by pumping them out in the barracks during downtime. Running is not as quick or easy to improve. Running at lest once a day should help bring me back to my track days when I could...

Rangers, I can happily report in that I have obtained an US Army Airborne Ranger contract for 11X. I will be shipping out in 16 days, on 20070816. This does not leave much time for the much needed PT but I will make the most of it, hopefully quitting my job will give me the extra time I need. All I ...
