Re: Introduction

Ranger Disinfertention, It is definitely a blessing that the two of us live somewhat close and have the opportunity to train together!

Re: Introduction

Rangers, conducted a PT test today on 20170416. I was unable to yesterday, due to helping a friend move.

65 sit-ups
10 pull-ups
14:25 2 mile run
Disappointed with my run time, I need to incorporate some speed work into my run training.

Our men and women in uniform have always had my utmost respect. Both of my grandfathers served in Korea, one in th...
