Rangers, I apologize for not posting an update last month, no excuse, pushing out 50 now and 250 extra tomorrow during my workout. Happy new year! A lot has happened in the last couple of months. I did not mention in my previous update that in late October/early November I got to meet a Ranger (will...

Roger Ranger Jim.

Rangers, I apologize for the late PT update. Pushing out 50 now. Pushups - 95 (2 minutes) Pullups - 20 Situps - 87 (2 minutes) 2 mile run - 13:19 My parents and I are still having frequent discussions about whether or not I will be allowed to visit a mentor. School has been a pretty big distraction ...

Roger Ranger Jim. I have thought about this since Ranger Lefty's post. I am going to bring this up to my parents.

Roger Ranger Jim. Ranger Lefty, it would be an extremely educational and useful experience if I were to come and learn from you. My parents are becoming less and less supportive right now though, so I doubt that they would allow me to go anywhere. I will talk to them, but right now my main concentra...

Roger that Bigglestheman. Your comment has motivated me to create a journal of all of the advice that I collect on this forum and from other sources. I regret not starting it sooner.

Roger Ranger Lefty. I was running on concrete a lot when I got shinsplints. I'm going to be running more on grass and soft ground to prevent shin splints, and I will also be careful not to overtrain. I have been making frequent stops on the forums to read and learn, and I will continue to do so. Pus...

Rangers, Roger that Ranger Jim. Next time my PT test will be done together and posted together. And I did include pullups this time. Roger that Ranger PocketKings! I won't take those hard experiences for granted, and I plan to put myself in those situations again. Just like you are saying, when I'm ...

Rangers, I am sorry that I haven't been on recently. As my last post stated, I had mono. During the time that I was sick, I lost some weight, and a lot of strength. I was fully recovered and given the good-to-go by my doctor just over 2 weeks ago, and since then I have been working out and eating a ...

Rangers, I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I should give you an update. I am far overdue for a PT score update, however I have recently come down with mono, so I can't workout or get any real exercise for the next 3-4 weeks. I will be doing my best to get well, and I will post PT scores as s...

Ranger Jim and Ranger Lefty, What have I learned? After looking at my experience and looking at myself before and after the trip, this is what I have determined; I am capable of more than I have ever imagined and I am a much more competent leader than I though I was. Though they are two seemingly si...

Rangers, I'm back from outward bound. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I'm not going to take 2 hours to tell you about the entire event, so I will give you a summary of a summary. The first week was very difficult. I had not acclimated at all so when we began to move I would be ...

Just a quick update before I head off into the mountains. I just arrived in Colorado and I'm already awestruck by the Rockies. I've never been this close to mountains before so I am extremely excited about this. I'll stay motivated, I'll work hard, and I'll be a sponge for information. My next post ...

A lot of spelling errors here that I just saw after posting, no excuse. Pushing out 50 now.

Rangers, I am back from Sea Cadet recruit training. I had my graduation this morning. Our division lost the honor division title by about 0.004 points, however we still earned the Battle E. I was division 002, and we had 70 cadets in the division. We had a pretty big chain of command for our divisio...
