Good job! you will be able to get into contact with the Ranger liason at airborne school to get a RASP slot if your recruiter cannot get you one before you leave.

What Zone IV said above is some good advice young Stud. Your PT looks respectable, but just so you know, it ain't gonna cut it. Set your mind right now to make a change in your life to live and breath Ranger (Faster, stonger, smarter.... on all things RANGER). Wish you all the best Buddy!

My recruiter loaned me his ruck sack. I'm going to start with rucking 6 miles with 30 pounds once a week. I'm not sure if that is enough distance. Happy Thanksgiving.
So what are you saying? That Ranger Colt1rgr doesn't know what he's talking about? Because that's how it comes across.

Trust those that have been there and done that, your run time needs work, a lot of it, and it always will to stay on top of the hill.

Listen to the advice Ranger Willis just provided. He is a graduate of the last RASP class.
