Ye Be Warned:

Ducati320

If you want to live long here is some advice. Caps the R, in Ranger. Also when addressing a Ranger it should look like this. Ranger (Then Name Of Ranger)

I would also suggest reading the rules for the forum and reposting a new intro on this link because it didnâ€™t answer the questions that the Rangers want to know on your intro. Learn from your mistakes, make as few as possible, and try to keep your mouth shut and learn. Spelling is also a big thing as you will read about in the rules. Not even being able to Caps your own fucking name does not look good.

I can tell you right now if you donâ€™t learn fast, you will find out rather quickly what a DANGER CLOSE FIRE MISSION is.

Good luck, Welcome, and itâ€™s always nice to see a fellow Red Leg.

Welcome to the site Eric. When you get a chance, please tell me which is it, 50 or 60 pushups?

Either way, those will get you to OSUT and perhaps BAT but will not get you past RIP so that's where you can start improving right away.

Thank you all fellow Rangers, your criticism has helped.
First off my name is Eric, I have always wanted to be in the military and always wanted to be on an Elite Force since I could remember, I never wanted a normal office job, that life style was not cut out for me. I am currently 17, a senior in High School, and can't wait to start my training. My MOS is 13F.
I can do about 60 pushup, 100 sit-ups, run two miles in around 13 minutes, and they will always get better since I ship out on July 8th of the current year.
My Training locations are as followed:
BT - SILL
AIT - SILL
BAT - BENN

I sincerely apologize to any Rangers that I disrespected in my first post and THANK YOU for serving.[/b]

Welcome to the site Eric. Thank you for joining up in the state that the world is in at the moment... and most importantly, thank you for the desire to serve as a Ranger.

Decent recovery, and good motivation.

Are you a track day rider, or a Starbucks frequenter?

Uh, Eric - I don't know who you are addressing as a 'fellow Ranger' here, but I would recommend you pay close attention to what it is you write on this board if you hope that your stay here will be very long. There are plenty of young men who simply come on here and read the posts which are archived to learn what it is they must do in order to succeed and become a Ranger. That 'normal office job lifestyle' may well be cut out for you, but fortunately, and the fun part is, that you are pretty much in charge of determining exactly what your future can and cannot be.

Good luck.

How about an accurate assessment?
