Introduction

Post by Valdemis »

Hello


My name is Eli I am 18 and just graduated high school. I'm from Tennessee. Joining the army has always been a dream of mine since I was very young. I'm currently waiting to ship out on September 20th. I have an 11x contract with option 40. Ranger Tater Nuts has been mentoring me for the past few months getting me ready mentally and physically for RIP. He has been drilling the Ranger Creed into my head and we have been doing ruck marches. He also has been telling me to "Not Quit". I greatly appreciate him for sacrificing his time to help me. I would also greatly appreciate any other advice that anyone can give me in getting ready for RIP.

Eli, a man has only one opportunity to make a favorable initial impressopm. So far, you're doing just fine. You have a talented and involved mentor -- you should continue to do just fine. Never, never quit!

Listen to TaterTots. He has his shit together. Never quit & take it one day at a time. Don't worry about tomorrow. Sufficient are the troubles of today.
Good Luck & God Bless you!
