Chris,
I am going to use you as a teaching point. First you can still keep your head up you did not quit like so many others. You failed at the 5 mile but you did not give up. There is a difference. You can work to gain a second chance at your new unit. Be the best you can, keep your head low and ...

So, I figured I would post a brief SITREP with a couple of things for the hopefuls along the way:

So far, everything is going very well. My squad and team leaders seem to like me, and I am fitting in well with the guys, as well as a private in Regiment can, that is, haha. Training is very fast ...

A good way I improved on my pushups was to take the ~60% mark of your goal, which should be the max, and turn it into that # x 4 sets. Essentially, it turned into 4 sets of 50 push-ups, to Ranger standard, with a 2 minute break in between sets. If you actually do them to standard and keep the 2min ...

Hello Rangers,

Just posting a brief SITREP to say that I graduated RASP 1 today with assignment to 1st batt. I cannot be any more excited to begin training and move forward with my career.

I want to especially thank Ranger Jim and Ranger GoldCoast for all they have done in preparing me up to ...

Rangers,

I am currently in pre-RASP with cbc1. He and I are pretty competitive and going into this with great confidence.

Two people quit the first day. I mean, really? Damn, paperwork must have been taxing. Seeing people quit just fuels my motivation even more. Its the first truly challenging ...

Yes this was very recent, I graduated OSUT March 8th and am in Airborne now. I leave for pre-RASP in 2 weeks.

It's ultimately your decision to enlist how you wish, but I'm going to let you know now...some kid had more than enough credentials to get a contract, the LNO told him in person that he ...

Hey Jim,

While most companies, as in, the vast majority of them at Sand Hill, give out option 40s....my company made it a point to not give out any. They only gave out 3 18x contracts. They straight up didn't bother to take them to the liaison to volunteer, even after the brief we got from the ...

Rangers,

Well, the guys who were selected, the "program" we were starting, wasn't approved by some Sergeant Major. So, the early EIB is a no-go now. We had ourselves all fluffed up for nothing. It's ok, however, I will have my due chance. Awaiting airborne school for now. Continuing to improve my ...

Rangers,

So, I turned blue today. My airborne date was pushed back 2 weeks and in the mean time, the cadre have selected about 6 guys to train up for the upcoming EIB. They are not 100% sure if we can get in, but I will find out for sure tomorrow whether or not I will have to opportunity. It's ...

Finally got my 300 on APFT 4. 11:50 run, 84 push-ups and 85 sit-ups. I'm on my 36 hour pass and still going strong. I've been PG for about 8 weeks and its going great as well

Any new guys on this forum: Listen to everything this site and its members have to offer. Their wisdom has proven extremely ...

Rangers,

I suppose it is about time for a proper SITREP. It's been a while since I have posted one, however it is not reflective of my prep thus far. I have been training very hard, however, I am making sure that I stay healthy and ready for The Show. My unofficial, most recent APFT is 95 PU, 97 SU ...

Roger Ranger Jim. Can't wait to read more.

Rangers,

I believe a SITREP is in order:

I have recently conducted an APFT. The pushup and sit-up judge was an active duty Marine.
2mi- 12:55
PU: 96
SU: 94

I have had a faster run time. My PR is 12:32, but, that doesn't matter. The PU's and SU's seem to be at a plateau that I am currently working ...
