I would like to thank Ranger goon175 and Perryb for there time and guidance through this process.
As expected, I was unable to get an opt 4 or 40, so I'll be working hard to gain a rasp slot at AIT.

Per Ranger Lunch's instruction
I did some searching around for an icing protocol and found that I should ice for 10 minutes at a time and to let my skin return to room temp before I reapply the therapy. I could do this several times a day. I ran yesterday with a different pair of shoes, and haven't worked my legs out in a few day...

Update: the paperwork at the new recruiting station is done, but there is nothing my recruiters can do till my paperwork from the original MEPS is transferred to the new one I'm going too. Waiting patiently for that to happen so I can pick my mos!

Ranger Lunch, That icing protocol sounds like a great idea! I'll search for how long to do it. I'm going to try this for a few weeks and see if I see a difference before seeking medical advice. I haven't ran in almost 6 years, but played sports up till freshmen year in HS, so I'm hoping my legs just...

Ranger Lunch,
Thank you for the feedback. At this time, I feel that my legs are lacking conditioning. I will look at that RASP training workout and focus on the warmups and cool downs.

Rangers, Ever since I did my initial self administered PT, I've been dealing with knee and quad pain/tightness. I have lowered the amount of running I am doing but the pain persists. I am not sure if I should take a hiatus from running all together or take it slower? The pain only happens while I ru...

I still think you should pick up that 35P job Ranger goon175, I need to get my transcripts and a letter stating when I'll finish the fall semester and my new recruiter said he can look for a job for me. It's spring break right now so it'll be a couple weeks before I get to look for a MOS. But I do ...

SITREP: drastic
First off, I'd like to thank goon175 for guiding me through the recruitment process. He gave me some very good info that probably saved me from getting sucked into a situation where I wouldn't have been happy. I've taken my ASVAB and phys qualified with a PULHES score of 1s across. I didn't go to ME...

Coach, how long did you wait for that 35 series with opt 40?
I'm looking to go 35 series with an opt 40 also.

Re: Introduction-drastic
Rangers,
I administered a self pt test today with the following results;
Push ups: 72 in 2 minutes
Sit ups: 55 in 2 minutes
2 mile run: 15:29
1 mile: 7:08
I gassed out the 2nd mile so I have some work to do. I'll report back the same time each week with updated results. My quest starts now.
