Re: Ruck Sack Weight

Dear Raider: I'm neither a Ranger, nor have I got my option 40 in hand yet (soon to be rectified) - however, at the ripe old age of 36, I too am training for RASP. I would like to reiterate what the Rangers have said without delving into the metaphysical realm, no disrespect. There is a reason why w...

Re: Going 40 at 40 (well almost)

Thank you Ranger GoldCoast for your advice yet again, I THINK I have the chops, but I want the chance to PROVE whether or not I actually do. Well, I gotta get back to doing some more push-ups - wanna max out that PFT! Thank you to all the Rangers for your service and sacrifice. With the utmost respe...

Re: Security clearance w/ foreign national wife

Thank you Ranger KW Driver, I will contact the embassy via email and see if I get any bites. Touching on your comment regarding my eventual security clearance, I was in fact denied my clearance the first time around (USMC signed contract for SIGINT, revoked in boot), which the third party ex-Navy in...

Re: Going 40 at 40 (well almost)

Thank you for your comment Ranger Richard Cranium, and perhaps mistake was too strong a word. I was uninformed, ignorant of my options and the power I possessed as an enlistee, and was duped by a recruiter who quite possibly took advantage of my enthusiasm. The Corps is what it is and does what it d...

As far as soul searching - done, dusted. head and ass wired together - check (my one year old daughter did most of the hard work for me). Moreover, I will give commo a look and see if it...
