Great news. Touch base with us again after you get your wings, and I'll update yout title. If the rumors are true, that gives you lots of time to do one of two things:
1.) Party on V-Drive, and listen to the quitters rationalize throwing their OPT 40's away, or
2.) Get mentally and physically prepped for RIP.

You know which one I would advise. Good luck. Don't throw this all away on a DWI or something similar. "Break a leg!"

You have been in the army long enough to know that you cant believe any rumors that you hear. Hell' I used to start rumors just to see how fast they would fly around

Congratulations on the wings. Don't screw up while you're in hold. Use time wisely to get in top physical shape after the vacation you had in jump school. Get a Ranger Handbook and study it.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Ranger Earthpig, I actually do have my wings, happily and proudly earned. I have also linked up with XCrunner from these forums.

I'm satisfied with my PT score from this morning, although its close to but no longer a 300. Always room for improvement and I can't wait to start RIP after calling my friend who was in 2/75 for a few years. No matter what I will remain motivated, false motivation or not. Everything is a small but required step to reach my goal.
