great advice!

Ranger Cayo,

Here in pre RASP we get released anywhere between noon and 1400. As for the actual RASP classes themselves I can only parrot what I hear on the private news network but they're rumoured to get weekends and some nights in phase 2 to themselves outside the big brown fence. Something about bait used for weeding out guys who like to do stupid shit like get DUI's before they get to batt.

Ranger Jim,

I graduated Jump School last friday. Can't believe I did'nt think to post a SITREP. PreRASP is awesome. The PT is actually challenging, for the first time since I enlisted. Not sure if I can post exact dates becuase of opsec, We dont pick up for RASP until january. We'll be jumping straight into the fire after xmas exodus, so those who lack the motivation to pt on their own are gonna be obvious.

That's an old Benning School for Boys technique. I was in OCS, and the first day back we did two laps on the airborne track before the airborne students got there. Can you say O'dark:30 in the rain. But I'm here.

I started RIP (before most of you were born) the class after Exodus.

Cole Range is gonna be cold, wet,bitch. Snivel light during the day when you are active. Remove the sweaty t-shirt and day snivel and go heavier at night in dry clothing. Waterproof everything. Even if your t-shirt and socks are dry for only a minute after you change it will help morale a lot. Also, brush your damn teeth. A new pair a socks, t-shirt and scrubbing the fur off your fangs will make you feel like a new man. Take your comforts where you can find them little brothers.
