Your post looks likes ass. Try again if you want someone to actually pay attention to it so it doesn't look like it was scribbled on the back of a placemat at Denny's.

I don't see anything wrong with my post but if it offended RANGERS, sorry not my intention.

:shock:

We prefer the term "northern boys", for obvious reasons.

To the young man posting, you didn't offend anyone, just my way of getting your ear, so that you'll pay better attention to your posts' before hitting the submit button.

It will only help in the long run young man. If it's a language issue, that's understandable, just a heads-up for you.

No worries bud. Drive on to your objective, eyes and ears open, listen, learn, do as much PT as time allows then do some more. Don't quit no matter how much it hurts, your instructors won't let you die, on purpose.

Follow simple instructions, be where you're supposed to be wearing exactly what you're supposed to be, and as long as you don't quit or whine, you should be ok.

And lay off the CAPS button, it draws negative attention. Use it where it's supposed to be used and no more.

A "hardship" is that widow trying to raise small children all alone because her Ranger never made it back home from War. A "hardship" is that soldier who has to deal with disfiguring injuries and the loss of limbs due to a IED for the rest of his life. People do go through hardships in life but the telling thing about a person is how they deal with hardships thrown their way.

The fallout you are encountering (i.e. having trouble getting a contract) as a result from stealing someone else's money, getting arrested and only getting slapped on the wrist for your actions are not "hardships". They are "consequences".

Do you think this forum is an extension of the Dr. Phil Show that Rangers on this board want to have a mutual pity party by posting about their hardships? Are you looking for a way to feel better about your so-called "hardships"? Most on here simply quietly deal with whatever hardships that are thrown their way and drive on never quitting.

You are right Ranger ZoneIV and Ranger rgrwest I have never felt the effects or hardships of war. The closest I have come and its a long way from a war is doing cpr on a man in his living room as his 8 year old daughter watches, or on a 5 year old boy as his mother and father watch; knowing the soul is lost but you never give up. I have the drive and now with this forum of information I have the way.
I regret my actions but there is nothing I can do now but pay the consequences for with I owe and move forward.
