Changes

I took another APFT with HHC 2-11 this morning just to make sure that I am ready.... again. Which was a little annoying but whatever. 4th RTB has made some changes to a couple of the RAP week events. First there is no more 5 mile run in formation. When you take the APFT you do PU, SU, pull-ups and t...

Let me see if I can get this across through text. Here it goes... Grab the bar with both hands, palms facing in. Lift yourself up to the bar so that you arms are bent at a 90 degree angle. Keeping yourself at that level take your right hand off the bar and switch the grip from 'palms in' to 'palms o...

Thank you Ranger RTO. I should find out later this week or maybe early next week if I made commandants list, with the way I've scored on everything I should make it. Probobly not platoon honor grad though, it's hard to compete with those '350' plus guys in the platoon when it comes to the APFT. But ...

IOBC

Well I finished the culmination excercise this afternoon. The only thing left to do is clean all our equipment and then make it official at the blue cord and graduation ceremonies next week.

SITREP

Have a four day weekend this weekend and then it's out to the field again for 10 days for our culmination e...

Benning was the same. Lots of down time. Your experience will depend on what company you are in and your PLT cadre.

I am however, a very hard worker and take my future job very seriously and try everyday to live with integrity, honor, and hum...

Ranger Invictus, I'm currently in IOBC class 02-06 haven't graduated yet. Maybe I should have pointed out that I am a cherry LT as well and don't know shit, but right now my priorities are trying to get as much as I can from the instruction at IOBC and prepare for Ranger School in my own time. I was...

Maybe you should worry about IOBC first. There were 6 guys that "score 280" who failed the fucking APFT and recycled in the first week. Not that IOBC is super tough but don't assume that it's going to be a cake walk. While it is not as physically challenging as Ranger School, you do have t...

I don't wear glasses and I've never had corrective surgery but my IOBC class just took our Ranger School physicals. The guys who had LASIK went through hell to get a waiver, some were not able to get one. The guys who had PRK done had no problems.

I think that something must be getting lost in translation over the internet here. I'm not trying to correct anyone or anything, I'll store this experience in the back of my mind to use it later in life. Never the less, I understand what you are all saying and I respect your opinions and advice and ...
