My name is Brian and I plan on attending The Citadel this August. The main reason I'm here is to gain knowledge on what it takes to be a ranger. Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

Welcome, good luck with school, and thank you for your interest in Army Rangers. A good starting place for you is to read the ROE PM I have sent you.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Re: Introduction
Good on you for that. Think you should like Charleston area and The Citadel. Trained some of them when I was in 1st Batt, played Lacrosse against them, and it is the school where BG. Larry Nicholson (USMC) went to school. Went to High School with him. Good road you have chosen. And good luck with it.Bluewater wrote:My name is Brian and I plan on attending The Citadel this August.

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

Thank you Ranger for the information. I have read it and taken it to heart.Ranger Bill wrote:Welcome, good luck with school, and thank you for your interest in Army Rangers. A good starting place for you is to read the ROE PM I have sent you.
I have visited Charleston a few times and love the atmosphere there. I feel honored to go to school at The Citadel and I want to take very opportunity to soak up all the knowledge I can there to make me a better person and a better solider.

Good luck on your entry into the maximum security college of SC. and one of the few schools that carry battle streamers on its school colors.
My Father and both of my brothers are graduates of the school. I decidid that me going to the Citadel would be like throwing 100 dollar bills in the street and watching trucks run over them. SO I went too Bn. Good luck You will love Chuck-town ....when you get to actully see it.

Thank you Ranger. The reason I said plan to go is because I’ve wanted to attend The Citadel since I graduated high school but life and unforeseen circumstances got in the way and I had to change my plans. This is something I’ve wanted to do for so long and I won’t be satisfied with anything less.IDon'tCare wrote:Welcome to this Ranger site.Bravo57 wrote:Welcome to the site.
