Obtained Option 40

Post by Greg88 »

Saturday March 26 2006 I obtained an 11x opt40 contract. I took the physical. Pissed in a cup and walked like a duck. Then recived my contract and swore in. My ship date is July 27 2006. One week ago i was never this motivated. I would run sometimes and do some home workouts. Now I am more motivated than i ever have been. I will be quiting my job in about a month so i can devote more of my time to PT. I will make do my best to make all the Rangers and vets on this site proud.

You just completed step 1. Congrats on getting the easiest part of becoming a Ranger completed. Many begin. Many fail. It will suck. Just get the job done.

I like the motivation, but do you work so much (or have so much money) that quitting wouldn't hurt you financially?

Just asking, not trying to make you think about it or nothing. :shock:

:lol:

Congrats.

Never quit. Focus on your objective and read, listen and learn.

Good luck.
