Re: Introduction
Ranger Jim, I had two Grand Mal seizures, which is the worst kind. Other than that, I do not have much more information, unfortunately.

Re: Introduction
Rangers, A few days ago I had a couple of seizures, out of no where. Devestatingly this means I probably will have to delay my dream of enlisting for at least a few years if I'm able to at all. I will explore all of my chances of enlisting while keeping my brothers in arms' safety in mind. For now I...

Re: Introduction
Ranger Jim, I apologize for any confusion, but the plan was to enter DEP sometime from January to early March so I could squeeze in one semester of college. I planned on doing this because by the time I graduate high school I will have earned 64 college credits out of the necessary 120, but I need t...

Re: Introduction
Rangers,
Would I still be able to obtain an option 40 if I take a couple ROTC courses, or would I be considered prior service? Also, is there any veracity to the rumor that the DEP program has been extended to 14 months under the new name FSP?

Re: Introduction
Ranger Jim,
I understand one would go through AIT and SOCM, but are they able to remain with a team as long as the infantrymen, or are they forced to be a hospital or hq medic too soon? Would I still be made to endure the "fun" like the other cherries?

Ranger Jim, does this mean that a waiver is only possible after 5 years, and do you even need a waiver if it's for something uncommon such as an allergy to octopus? I was unsure because I checked multiple regulations and determined that epilepsy is defined as two or more seizures, which I only had o...

I'm sorry if this sounds nieve, and in no way am I saying anything about the Ranger lifestyle is easy, but is there a certain level of fitness that would make RIP seem easy? For example, if you were able to run 10 miles at a 6 minute pace, would the running portions of RIP be easy for you, or would ...

Ranger Invictus, I do not like competing for second place, and therefore I wanted to be a part of specialized tier one- type unit. Also, I figure there is no better way to hone the body and mind than by spending a lifetime in the 75th. Sorry if I'm not wording this right, but mostly it's more of an ...
