Don't fuckin' worry about being a RIP holdover for that long. If you are, it will be a
perfect opportunity to correct any PT deficiencies you might have. I know because I had to do the same thing. I don't know if they still do it, but they used to send all the holdovers on block leave with 3rd Batt. The Ranger DFAC would be closed and the pussy-ass 30th Engineers didn't want to deal with 'em. If they don't give you leave, guess what?..
Suck it up and Drive On!...
I have no idea who is in charge of RIP holdover now, but when I was there we had this cat SFC Ray Devins. This guy was a fuckin' monster!!!.. (any of the members here who knew him can vouch for this..) He brought the pain with twice-a-day PT old school style (
500 4-count jumping jacks in the pouring rain for starters because we pissed him off..) but I'll tell you what; 6+ weeks of PT with him 5 days a week got me in the best shape I could be in.
The bottom line is deal with it & roll with the punches. Your ass belongs to Uncle Sugar now and you will get leave when and if he sees fit. Period, fucking end. You will get leave eventually, but worry about what you have in front of you right now. The Ranger Regiment works at a different pace than the rest of the Army, but they will take care of you.
Good luck and Keep Driving on!.. Remeber; Cardiac Hill is your Freind!..
