Not too much to say here besides I was a lazy fuck before basic but I managed to suck it up and make it through RIP. Just trying to continue to push myself because I've already found out it doesn't get any easier.
What can I say besides thank you to everyone who takes the time to provide information to kids sitting at home dreaming of becoming Rangers.

Re: Graduated
Sorry about that short SITREP.
I came into basic weak and out of shape. I couldn't run for shit, my pushups were lame, and I was just generally sucking all the time. Just sucked it up like I told myself I would and kept going, and it all got easier. It was over before I knew it and I found myself at Fort Sam doing the weakest PT and dealing with high school type drama every day. It's too easy to get lazy and weak there if you don't keep yourself motivated. I passed all of my testing and ended up graduating as soldier of the cycle.
Can't say much about airborne except I had a lot of fun jumping and managed to stay uninjured.
I passed the PT test to get into RIP while in pending for a week then started up. Before the PT test we had something like 220, and our actual RIP class had 170 or so. The hardest part for me was the rucking. I went to basic at Leonard Wood and I don't know if this is the standard now but we NEVER ONCE went on a ruck march with an actual ruck on our backs. PC, LBV, and weapon. Needless to say the 6 miler in RIP probably wasn't a good time for my first ruck march but again, sucked it up and kept going.
We ended up graduating 104, 4 of those being week 4 inserts.
I'll never forget hearing "Don berets" and getting my scroll put on my shoulder. On one hand I was glad I made it through, and on the other hand I was humbled by the fact that I have to live up to that standard every day of my life and was surrounded by men who have. I went from being able to keep up with all of the "studs" at Fort Sam to just hanging in there a lot of the time. I know I still have a lot of work to put in.
Right now I'm Pre-SOCM, waiting for my chance to go. There's 40 something of us and when slots open up there aren't very many of them, so I'll be spending some time working the clinic soaking up as much knowledge as I can.

Re: Graduated
Work your ass off learning shit from the medics. SOCM isn't a cake walk. You do not want to be the guy who shows up at Battalion as a cherry medic who failed the first course he went to. It'll be fucking hell for you.
At any rate, you realize that "good enough" isn't "good enough" anymore and that you have to push yourself harder every day.
Good luck and welcome to the fray!
