Introduction - Christopher

[Christopharx]

Hello Rangers, and military veterans alike, thank you for your service to our fine country through the sacrifices and extremely difficult tasks you've suffered through! Thank you for allowing a civilian like myself access to this free wealth of information and knowledge!

My name is Chris, I'm eighteen years old and I earned my High School Diploma through ED in January, with a little guidance from the Sergeants at my recruiting station. I have been a "future soldier" since September when I first started the education, and I only have a month or so left before I go. I am due to ship out to Fort Benning on May 07th, 2013. I managed to snag myself an 11x with Option 40 contract, thanks to my recruiters going through mounds and mounds of paperwork for me (great guys)! I am looking forward to BCT and the training that follows a heck of a lot, since I was a little kid I always wanted to be that guy in uniform. Getting to put on the uniform and boots alone makes it worth it for me, and I hope I earn them well and honestly along with scroll!

Thank you again Rangers, I appreciate the service you're doing for all the future soldiers here.

Thank you Ranger Jim, as requested:

I have been searching through these forums for running tips, browsing the internet for running tips like Interval Running, and I've been talking with friends who like to run to try and improve my stamina and time.

OK, Chris, you now have established a PT baseline. There are a number of PT-related threads on the site. Never, never quit!
