Intro - John

Post by johnzfre88 »

Hi, my name is John, I'm 25 years old. I grew up in north eastern PA and currently live in NJ. I am a high school graduate with a few semesters of college. For the past 5 years I have been working as a phlebotomist at a hospital. I would like to thank the brave men of the 75th Ranger Regiment for their service and sacrifices. I am interested in enlisting and would be honored to have a chance to serve with the Regiment. I have a couple questions that I was not able to find the answers to in this forum.

OK, so now you have established a PT baseline to build on. Please look at the letters from school thread to learn what others have experienced in 68W training. Never, never quit.

Ranger Jim, one of my questions was about scoliosis but after looking a little harder I ended up finding the answer to that. My other question was about the pre-lie-detector test in hold over. I still haven't come accross any posts mentioning that. Should I ask that question in the RASP section?

Pre-lie-detector test? Have no idea what you are talking about. If you are talking about a security clearance, you will have to qualify for secret access. Never, never quit!
