Hello all... I have been in the Military for 9 years. Spent the entire time at Ft. Bragg. Loved it...I am now enroute to 1/75. I have been reading this site for a while now and I have learned quite a few things. I am a SSG and have been lugging this promotable status around for 18 months now.
Just glad to finally get my foot in the 75th door.

Welcome...

I really can't fathom the prospect of importing an NCO who doesn't have his shit. Even considering the increased op-tempo these days, can you still go thru ROP without it?


Unless you're a soft skill maybe?

Welcome and good luck, I truly hope you get what it is you seek.
Keep in mind, you'll not be that readily accepted in Batt, the Rangers are very partial to "born and bred" NCO's.
Just watch and listen for a while when you get there.
Again, good luck and thank you for your service.
