RASP 1 AAR - Pangolin

Rangers, I haven't kept up with my sitreps. I felt I had little to say on top of what my buddies on this site have already reported. I'm happy to report that as of yesterday, I've graduated from RASP class 06-18. My performance on critical events is as follows: 1. RFT PU 62 SU 77 5 MI 35:47 PU 13 2....

Re: Introduction - Pangolin

Rangers, Due to an injury in my ankle, I have no update on my run. I am taking time to allow the joint to heal. Push Ups: 50 Sit ups: 71 Pull Ups: 13 Luck has changed. Someone in the system dropped a Ranger contract and my recruiter landed on it like a hawk. They've reserved the contract for me. On ...

Re: Introduction - Pangolin

Ranger Jim, Ranger Grim 666, Currently, there appear to be no contracts in combat arms with Option 40 available. There are multiple support MOS contracts with Option 40, such as 88M, 15W, and 92F. 68W, 13F, and 12B are the other roles I am giving serious consideration. 13F and 12B are fairly uncompl...

Re: Introduction - Pangolin

Rangers, Brief update. My PULHES rating is 111111. No waivers necessary. Apparently my eyes were better than I thought. There are still no Ranger contracts available. I have been advised it is possible to earn a place in Airborne and RASP through performance in OSUT, but no guarantees. I have also b...

Re: Introduction - Pangolin

First things first, an updated APFT: Push-ups: 43 Sit-ups: 55 Two mile: 14:18 Pull-ups: 11 APFT Score: 206 My sit-ups have dropped. I believe I didn't pay enough attention to them in the last two weeks, and accordingly lost endurance. I am somewhat pleased that I now meet the AIT standard in all eve...

Re: Introduction - Pangolin

Ranger Jim, I have no close family in the military. I have no real experience with organized sports or outdoor activities. When you get down to it, my interest in military service comes from my personal interest, developed mostly through reading firsthand accounts of war and conflict. They have left...

Re: All Of You Future Rangers Read This

Ranger IntelToad, Here are my observations from the Letters from School Thread: 1. PT, PT, PT. OSUT and Airborne offer insufficient preparation. Those who succeed in RASP tend to hit IET prepared, put out 110% during mandatory PT, and spend their off time doing more PT. There is no substitute for ph...

Enlisting became my goal sometime toward the start of high school, but chose to attend college first, both out of my own curiosity and my parents' desires. My target is ...
