After being turned down twice by the Army and also by the Marines, I have decided that my largest goal of being a Ranger, followed by the goal of being in any type of infantry in general are coming to an end. I tried as hard as I could, did the best I could on the ASVAB, and got in the best shape I ...

Ranger Jim and Glenn, MSG Ret.,

Thank you for your advice and words of wisdom and encouragement. I have taken them to heart and I appreciate them.

To the board at large:

I called the recruiter today because it has been two weeks since I submitted the hearing test. I figured either it was taking ...

Ranger The Sleepy Doc, I did as you instructed about the earplugs. I think it may have improved my scores, but I don't think it was enough to make a serious impact. I appreciate the advice however.

An update on my current situation for the board at large:

The hearing test went pretty much as ...

I heard back from the recruiter today and unfortunately the waiver was denied. He says its not a big deal and to go get another hearing test done and we'll resubmit the waiver. I'll definitely be doing a bunch of research on the net and on this forum about the waiver process in general, but if ...

I have some new information regarding my MEPS/recruiting situation. I went down last night and took the ASVAB and scored a 97 overall with a GT of 141 and a CO of 140. Needless to say, I'm very happy with these scores.

The physical was this morning and I passed on everything with flying colors ...

Rangers, Soldiers, Vets, and DEPS,

As I stated in my intro, I graduated with a home school diploma. I know from searching on this site and reading the FAQs and stickies that a home school diploma is considered as a GED and is therefore a Tier 2 and as such is not eligible for an option 40. I have ...

Veteran PhishPhreakKiller: Thank you for the advice and for relating your personal experience.

Ranger Jim: Thank you for using your time and resources to help me out. I was just kind of stunned when I read your reply that someone I had never even met was willing to go to such effort for me, just ...

SFC hit_it and MSG Glenn, thank you for your response.

SFC hit_it, is there anything I can do to honestly get around the permanent DQ for my past short term use of a hearing aid? Is a waiver available/possible in such situations? I really am willing to work hard on this, and I'm willing to take ...

To Ranger 42L5V, Ranger ma91c1an, and Paratrooper smokn38: Thank you for replies of advice and encouragement in my decision.

To the board at large:
I have a new update on my situation and the news is not good. I called the recruiter today because I had not heard anything back from my visit of a ...

After mulling the issue over and giving it some more thought, I have decided to do what I feel is the honorable and right thing. If I can't be honorable as a civilian, I don't feel that I could really be honorable as a Ranger. I think I need to be strong in character as well as in body to be able to ...

Hello,

I'm visiting MEPS this weekend (test on Friday, physical on Saturday), and I had a few questions that I'm having a hard time finding an answer to that I need to know before I leave. As I stated in my intro thread, I have some hearing loss in my left ear. This is where I'm running into some ...

I would like to say thank you to all the Rangers who have welcomed me into your online domain. I would also like to thank you for all the words of wisdom and advice that you have shared with me.

To Ranger Charlie 51: Thank you for the additional PT knowledge and advice. I understand what you are ...
