Roger Ranger Jim, I was fortunate enough to pick up orders to the 82nd, 1st BCT. A few guys got Ft. Polk and Drum and not on jump status from what I understand. I'm told I'll be at headquarters for a bit before sent out to a unit. Striving for the best, hopefully I'll be out to a line unit quickly.

Rangers, I failed to complete fast roping and have been dropped from the course. I have also been denied the oppurtunity of recycle because of the circumstances of my drop. I appreciate all the help and guidance that has brought me to this point, I am sorry I did not capitalize on it, and allowed fe...

Ranger Jim, I am happy to say I earned my hot dogs. Week 2 of RASP was a wild ride. Alot of repetitions, running, time hacks, and land nav. I was pretty cold a few times as well. Going into Cole Range I had no idea what to expect, but I just kept my head level, thinking about why I was there, and re...

Roger Ranger Jim, I am back home. Week one of RASP has passed and I am doing pretty well here so far. It has been about what I expected, lots of smoke, tough time hacks, and good pt events. The best leadership I have been able to see in the Army, hands down. I've had some good NCO'S, but everyone of...

Roger Rangerjd, relaxing has surprisingly been the hardest thing to do while home, but I have made some good time with the family. I am ready to go, the next few days are going to be really easy, slowly fading into just recovery. After learning so much about the history of the unit and it's lineage,...

Roger that Ranger Jim, looking forward to the welcome home that is just ahead of me! Time home has been great catching up and working out. Overall I may have overdone pt the last few days, I'm starting to feel weak, slow, and tired. Generally, everyday has consisted of a run or ruck and calesthinics...

Roger Ranger Jim, it was a wild experience landing back there. The past two weeks at pre-RASP were different than I expected. Working at the clinic is very rewarding. I've met, worked with, and learned from some very experienced Rangers. The last week was a big move for the clinic, so most of the we...

Roger that Ranger Jim, I graduated yesterday. My last jump Monday was something else, I was first up. Standing in the door was a great experience, but thanks to a gust of wind I landed in the back of the Lieutenant Colonel and Command Sergeant Major's jeep! Last thing I ever thought I would look up ...

Rangers, after a bit of down time, I was thrown back into tower week with a condensed training schedule. This past week I finished up all of tower weeks training and jumped 4 times between today and yesterday. After one more jump Monday, I will have earned my silver wings, and my spot in the RASP pi...

Ranger Grim666, drown proofing to my knowledge is just building confidence in the water in situations where you have limited range of motion or other "tight situations." But, going forward I'm gonna just make sure I can swim well. I did run 5 miles yesterday. I found out after the track is...

Rangers, once again I have a bit of catching up to do. I always get submerged into my training, I'll do my best to recollect my past few weeks. It's been going very well, with exception to this past one. Camp Bullis was a great time overall. Not a lot to say about it. The first week orientation, the...

Rangers, The last few weeks have been great. Yesterday marked the completion of class room training and testing. This Sunday we leave for the infamous FTX of whiskey training, for 2 weeks. Looking forward to applying my skills out there, as well as getting to soak up more knowledge from the instruct...

Roger Ranger Jim and Ranger Dreadnought. Pull ups are 2-3 times a week, usually done in a ladder from 1-6 for 2-3 sets followed by a couple sets with a lot of assistance to muscle failer. I've had little time until recent to work on them and have gotten weak, but I can still do the minimum 6. Ranger...

Roger Ranger gRavepc, I feel as though my run time is my largest obstacle and definitely my first priority. I am giving my heart and soul to cardio here, roughly 10-15 sessions a week, 3-6 of which are actual running, the rest low impact. I just pray this is enough to get the job done. I can not all...

This week marked the end of EMT training and the beginning of Whiskey phase. "Hell Week" as they call it. Studying took away from my time in the gym a bit since we had testing for 5 or 6 days straight. I was fortunate enough to pass all of my final tests, practical evolutions, and the NREM...
