Long Overdue SITREP

Post by Tahlvain »

Rangers,

I've been busy with training, family, and a baby boy on the way, so I haven't been able to get on to keep you all updated with my progress, but I've finally found a spot of time now that I can make contact with the real world once again. I graduated OSUT from Alpha 2-54 on December 3rd and remained as a holdover at that training unit until early January, where I was sent off to Airborne school. Graduation for Airborne was early February, and I headed off to RASP hold the following week. I started with the third RASP class with 110 total students. Fast forward a month of sweat and tears, and I can gladly say that I have moved into Phase 2 of the program with roughly 55 students left and am excited to see what is to come.

I would like to offer my humblest thanks to the Rangers that provided advice and guidance in how to gain the opportunity to get to this point. In just one more month, I will be honored to wear your scroll on my shoulder.

RLTW,
Andrew
