Intro from Ft. Worth Texas
Hello Rangers and other members of the site. As per SOP, here is my introduction to the site.
I am a prior service cadet currently attending Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth Texas. I entered the U.S. Army in 1998 and following Basic, AIT, and Airborne school I was sent to the 112th SIG BN (ABN) at Ft. Bragg where I was a commo guy for the rest of my 4 years on active duty. Being a support guy in a spec-ops unit I got to see some of the great things that Rangers and SF teams are capable of doing. After four years of active duty and making SGT, I left the military for college where I joined the ROTC program and am about to graduate and be comissioned as a 2LT on 12 May. I was branched Signal Corps with a 48 month branch detail of Infantry. I am excited to have the opportunity to lead soldiers once again.
I start IOBC on 21 May and have orders for the 173rd (ABN) in Italy after I finish my time at Benning. I have enjoyed reading many of the posts on this forum for several months and in case I have any questions about Ranger school or other various topics that I cannot find on the forum I will be sure to ask.

You have absolutely no idea how fucking lucky you are to be going to Italy.
Drop me a line when you find out what battalion you're going to...as a friend of mine from platoon leader days is taking over one of the battalions next summer.
Boy, are you in for some first class mentorship!

Ranger CHCB, I signed on for an extra 3 years (7 total) to get into the 173rd. ROTC now offers cadets guarenteed branch, duty assignment for 3 years, or guarenteed grad school if the cadet agrees to sign an additional 3 year service obligation in addition to the 3,4 or 5 years that he/she is already obligated to serve. I always wanted to go to the 173rd; now is my chance.
