I could not figure out how to edit my original post. I looked at the F.A.Q.
To answer JLTW's questions I have wanted to be an Army Ranger all my life due to the fact that everyone in my family has been in the military. My grandfather served in vietnam with the Rangers which has influenced me greatly. I was also at Grizzly Youth Academy in San Luis Obispo or 5 1/2 months. One of my cadre was in 101st and during Ranger School got deployed to Iraq. Another one of my cadre was going to q-course right after graduation. While Q-course is for special forces I would like to see myself eventually being a Green Beret also. Both of these men became a father to me during my stay there and worked with me to help acomplish my dream of being a Ranger. My PT scroes are as follows;

Push-ups-64
Sit-ups-89
2mile run- 13:21min
Max chin-ups- 18

I kow this is not that great but i am doing things to better prepare myself. Running 5 miles every other day, working out 5-6 days a week, and 2000meters 3 days week. My recruiter says that i will most likely ship to basic in Feb..Which i believe will give me enough time to become even more physically fit.

Here is some very basic advice you have already received but ignored to follow.

Read all the Stickies, FAQ's and SOP's of this forum.
Read the Private Message (PM) sent to you.
Address the members according to their title.

You sound like you are really motivated and I am in a good mood tonight. Sit down, do as I just told you, come back, think about what you want us to know and then go from there.

Make sure your spelling and punctuation are correct. You have made numerous mistakes so far, most simply due to lack of attention to detail on your part.

Just to make sure you have all the tools available to make the most out of your time here, I am going to send you a PM.

ROE PM, inbound.

Something about the high-stress environment that always seems to keep their fucking attention.
