Re: Introduction
Ranger Disinfertention, Thank you for the advice. I will continue to walk. I've noticed a big improvement in ankle strength and flexibility so far. A Marine buddy of mine suggested to put bed sheets under the sandbag I use in my pack to get the weight up higher. That seems to help tremendously with ...

Re: All Of You Future Rangers Read This

Re: Introduction
Ranger Disinfertention, It is definitely a blessing that the two of us live somewhat close and have the opportunity to train together! I am sure there will be many more before we leave for Fort Benning. I believe that knowing somebody else this early in the process will benefit us both in the long r...

Re: Introduction
SITREP 20170421 Meant to post this last weekend, my apologies. Met up with Arch51 on Friday, 20170414, for some PT and lunch afterwards. Had an awesome time working out and chatting with a fellow 11x candidate that shares the same ship date as myself. Continuing to train hard and smart, while progre...

Re: Introduction
Rangers, conducted a PT test today on 20170416. I was unable to yesterday, due to helping a friend move.
60 push-ups
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.

Ranger Disinfertention,
It is a company that develops thoughtful training plans, with a primary focus on mission-direct, functional fitness for millitary, law enforcement, EMT, etc. I enjoy the challenge and structure of the workouts.

Re: Introduction
Thank you, Rangers for the welcome! Glad to be here. A little about me: Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to serve in the military, particularly in a special type of unit. Our men and women in uniform have always had my utmost respect. Both of my grandfathers served in Korea, one in th...
