Rangers,

A sitrep after a long day at MEPS: I passed my physical, airborne physical, all my screenings, and kicked some ass on the ASVAB. Was feeling pretty good until my interview with the Guidance Counselor/Job Liaison. After some tinkering with the job system and a call to the ROC (accuracy ...

Rangers,

I met with my recruiter on lunch today to sign my medical releases for MEPS and to get squared away to go down this weekend. He said he and his station commander had called down to MEPS and option 40 is not available. They tried to sell me on 18x, which obviously sounds appealing, but I ...

Ranger Kilted Heathen,

The unfavorable conditions I alluded to were half the track being covered in 1-1.5" of snow and half the remaining area being covered in a half inch of ice. I believe my biggest problem was my pacing. It's been a long time since I've run in this manner, so I was pacing myself ...

Ranger Kilted Heathen,

I ran my two mile today at my old high school's track. I'll save my excuses and just give you my results. I posted an embarrassing 20 minutes. Excuses aside, I feel confident that under more favorable conditions and with a bit more practice pacing myself, I could post a 16 ...

Roger, Ranger Kilted Heathen.

Just saw your message, will have results by end of day.

Can't remember whether this one has been quoted in this thread, but it's one of Ranger Bill's that has stuck with me so much that I have it inked on my right forearm:

From his perspective: "You can, you will, you must."

It's so profound beyond the face value; Obviously the "You can" and "You will ...

Ranger ZoneIV,

What I meant was I can draw inspiration from the examples that have been set forth before me. Many (well, few, if you look at the big picture) have been in my position and have risen to meet the challenge, so it's not impossible. I do want it for the right reasons, and for myself ...

Ranger Bill - An afterthought, which should have been posted with the message I just submitted (attention to detail; 20 more). I went to the recruiter's station today after work and filled out my pre-qual paperwork. I took home the security clearance paperwork to finish up and return to him asap ...

Ranger Jim - Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, my goal is to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. I will settle for nothing less. I want to be a part of the best light infantry force in the world, and to surround myself with the best of the best. I am tired of the mediocrity of my current lifestyle ...

Rangers,

My name is Rob, I will be 22 in 11 days, and I am from northeast Pennsylvania. I am 6'1" and weigh in the neighborhood of 165 as I recently got over the flu (normal weight is around 175). I am a high school graduate and have worked full-time since graduation, always somewhat unsure of what ...
