Introduction - Rich

Post by miltownkid »

Hello Rangers, my name is Richard but all my friends call me Rich. I'm 18 years old and I am a Future Soldier with an Option 40 contract. I've been an Army brat ever since birth, I was actually born in Savannah, my mother was stationed at Hunter as an 89B. Unfortunately things didn't end up working out between her and my father and being a single parent while in the Army didn't interest her so she got out. Funny enough about 10 years later she met and married my step father who was a 74D in the Reserves. He switched over to active so that he could support our family and we then got stationed at Fort Hood. After being at Hood for about 7 years the Army apparently told my dad that his MOS was "over strength" and he is now re-classing as a 35T which got us sent to the lovely Fort Huachuca, AZ.

So, now that I am of age I'm going to continue my families tradition of military service. The only job in the Army I have ever been interested in is Infantry, and there is no better Infantry in the world than the 75th Rangers. So that's pretty much who I am in a nutshell, and I hope to learn anything I can from not only the Rangers, but all service members on this from. Thank you all for your service, from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for the welcome Rangers, my PT test scores are as followed

Push ups: 52
Sit ups: 61
2 Mile Run: 15:37

I don't quite think these are adequate for RASP so I'm going to be training very hard everyday before i ship. Also my run is usually better but I've just recently came to Arizona and I haven't acclimated to the elevation.

OK, but now you have a baseline you can build on. Earn this! Never, never quit!
