Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Oh my apologies Ranger gRavepc. I'm just excited. I emailed a Ranger recruiter today and sent him a copy of my ERB and he should be sending me an application packet in his next message. Very excited to get the wheels rolling on this one! I also am almost done with my Ranger School physical. I believ...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Ranger gRavepc, I'm sorry but I'm having trouble figuring out what you mean by that? My apologies.

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Rangers just a quick SITREP. I took the AFCT today and scored a 112 for my GT score. The class paid off and now I'm well on my way to throw down my packet for RASP. Ranger school is still up in the air. I will most likely throw down my packet for Ranger School soon after I finish all my physicals an...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Good evening Rangers. This morning we had the twelve mile ruck for air assault tryouts and I came in at 2 1/2 hours which was the top seven I believe. After returning from the FAST class and heading back to troop my squad leader told me that he had read the list and my name was on it. I made it! It ...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Roger that Ranger Disinfertention. Both my squad leader and platoon sergeant are aware that I want to go to Ranger School. The First Sergeant is aware but I don't think I've quite proven that I want to go to him yet. It's hard to do because I hardly ever see him but I've been working on it. Even the...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Ranger Slowpoke, when I posted that I hadn't yet gotten to the unit and hadn't had the time to do any research on it and was not aware that it is a brigade not a division. Ranger Jim, nothing much else really. Bad news about Ranger School. It seems my drive and pursuance to go to it isn't going to b...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Good evening Rangers, a lot has been going on lately. We never ended up taking the PT test I had told ya'll about. So I've been using this time to work on PT and finishing up some online classes that my First Sergeant wants done. I've been working on my Ranger School packet and I just finished Phase...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Roger Ranger Jim. I just missed EIB when I first got here. The next training for that will be held sometime in March if I'm not mistaken. In the meantime there are quite a lot of other schools I can attend to. We have a sniper section in my troop and they hold annual tryouts and if you pass you get ...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Thank you for the advice Ranger ManchuV. I've already started the online FAST class but think the in class portion will be better. Plus it physically let's the chain of command know who I am and what I'm doing since I'll be missing duty days for it. Ranger rangerjd, your advice was instilled in me a...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Good evening Rangers. It's been awhile since I have posted a SITREP. I had to get my WI-FI setup in my room and then I lost my password for this website. Where do I begin, Germany is great. I haven't been able to explore much because my unit has been on ACRF ever since I got here. The thing I love a...

Re: Shipping Out 20140610

Good evening Rangers and future soldiers. It has been quite awhile since I last gave a SITREP on how things have been going so far. OSUT was a breeze. If anything it was a lot of hurry up and wait. I never would have thought it would've been like that. I still soaked up as much knowledge as I could ...

Shipping Out 20140610

Good evening Rangers and fellow DEPers. I ship out for BCT today. My flight has been delayed an hour due to weather conditions. But needless to say I am excited. First and foremost I would like to say thank you to all the Rangers who have guided me and encouraged me. Y'all have been great. I can't w...

Re: Introduction: Austin

Good evening Rangers, with spring arising I have been able to add a lot more to my workout program. Such as, mountain biking, rucking and rucking to the fishin hole if you count that. With this warm weather it is easy to get distracted and I'll admit I have done more than my share of fishing already...

Re: Introduction: Austin

Good afternoon Rangers. My SITREP is long overdue as it has been since mid January since I've given a SITREP. The workouts have been going fluently since my last post and the results are better. Even though I hate this cold weather it has benefited me a lot. I have done a lot of outdoor rucks throug...
