hello Rangers

Post by Goat Lover »

Hi Rangers,
My name is Rodney, I'm 30, and prior service army.

Just giving my required, yet insightful introduction. I served in IF Phase 1 and soon after my return home tested. During the last two years, Ive managed to finish my last classes in college, do some serious job hunting and get a very nice internship in South Florida. I enjoyed the internship and was offered a job upon graduation, with my own desk, office, and lots of flexibility in terms of making my work hours. I made lot of great friends in Boca Raton/ Fort Lauderdale, but I didn't make the bonds that where made in the field. The kind that, when your in the combat zone, and you get a red cross letter saying your mother past away, and your battle buddy said he was sorry and wish he could help, you knew from the bottom of his heart he meant it. I miss that.

Hence, I'm viewing your "virtuoso" website for insight, information, and data so i can make a real world assessment to see if this lifelong dream can become reality. Either way, Ranger or RA, i plan on putting in an OCS packet later tis year.

I look forward to asking questions with merit and using the search button (not in that order), and hopefully i will get great feedback. I do realize that there is a direct correlation between the quality of the answer and the validity of my question. So, i promise not to last your time in that regard.

Thanks for your time

Welcome Rodney...

You are graduating from college? You were cheated. I noticed at least a half dozen typographic errors in your introduction.

Cheated? Not at all. Coastal Carolina University has high standards for its students. The errors you saw was not due to a lack of advisement on the colleges part, but a refection of my personal effort given in that/those course(s). I take full responsibility for the days I didn't give my full attention to the information that the instructors taught at the time. Trust me, Ive changed and as a Senior I give attention to the lectures. Thank you for pointing this out. Would you mind looking over my resume before I turn it in to an OCS board?

Good to see a potential officer manning up to his mistakes. If only they all did that.
